Menu for Highwayman in Halifax, NS

Heard so many great things about this place, so we put it on the 'must-try' list during our trip to Halifax, and I'm so glad we... did. Phenomenal experience. Top notch food, atmosphere, and staff. Great place to hangout for a drink, chill or go out on adate while enjoying some quality seafood. We ordered the seafood platter off their Happy Hour menu, which includes a half dozenoysters, 2 chilled seafood dishes and sides. The oysters were delicious and fresh, and the seafood dishes prepared fresh by thechef were perfect compliments to the platter. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing, I will definitely becoming back on my next trip and highly recommend this place to any future travellers! Read more

Great spot for a drink and a snack. The happy hour deals are really nice - we got a pitcher of Sangria, oysters (which, at $2... per, are the cheapest we found in the city) and some tapas to finish off. The food was delicious and the prices feel right forthe quality. Read more

This was a solid 4.6 star place, imo. Only sided on the Google 4 for this review because the "croquetas" were disappointing, the... breading was very oily, generic and the filling lacked depth. Not worth being on their otherwise great menu! The oysters fromNS were incredible, as you'd expect from a NS based restaurant but the woman who served them didn't do the classic "this one is____ from ____..." I had to flag someone down to ask, which was, just kind of strange to me. I sort of wish I only ordered like36 of the NS ones, with a small side but I wanted to try a few things. The cocktails were decent and the bartender was chill.Would definitely come back, the ambiance is nice. FYI, the place also attracts those 30-45 something sleezy businessmen if youlike being chatted up by dudes who are probably looking for a one-night stand. (Not that they chatted me up obv, but I feltuncomfortable for the table of young 19-21 yr old girls stuck at a table beside the creeps). Read more

It?s slightly upsetting to have to write this review. The food and drinks were amazing, I would definitely recommend, but the... service was not it. Disclosure: we were late for our reservation and were told things may be rushed. Fair enough. However, howthis message was conveyed immediately killed the vibe. Throughout the service, the server made passive aggressive remarks aboutus having limited time. This happened whenever we ordered a drink or a dish. Everything felt rushed and in the end, we feltunwelcome. I think there was a better way to go about the situation; there?s a way to tell a group of people that they havelimited time without making them feel like they need to leave as soon as possible. In fact, even though we were late, we onlystayed 15 minutes over the two-hour limit. It?s not like we were there an hour over our limit. Anyway, kudos to the kitchenstaff for making the food as quickly as they did. It was very well done. Despite the awkward service, I would come back for thefood and drinks. FYI: show up for your reservation on time or you may be in store for a not-so-great experience. Read more

Went to highway man for the first time last week. We had Kirsten as our waitress, and the service was lovely. Ordered a variety... of cocktails and a few beers +shot throughout the night. The cocktails were all very good and the recommendations for whichcocktail to go with always matched what I was looking for. The cocktails I had were the cooler cup, Escondido, and theeastbound. We had a few orders of oysters, all of which were really good paired with their hot sauce, lemon, and mignonettedressing. Along with the oysters, we ordered the seafood tower, which was a dozen oysters, and had the scallop crudo and thealbacore tuna, there was a third seafood dish but I can?t remember which one it was. The scallops were my favourite of thenight. Additionally, we had a dish of the shrimp with garlic and the beef tartare. My partner?s favourite was the beeftartare. The only thing that would have made the experience with the food better, would have been bread. There was so muchdelicious sauce left over in most of the dishes. Although we ask for ?as much bread as possible? for this specific reason, weonly were brought two slices. This was the only frustrating/negative part of the evening. Even with the beef tartare, the breadwas in short supply? not sure why they?re stingy with their bread portions. Read more
