Additional Information
Delightful and delicious experience. We went here for our anniversary and from the moment we entered, we were very well taken... care of. The tasting menu was our main draw here, as it seems to change daily based on the chef?s whims. It was very close toperfect. It almost feels cruel to upload the pictures when there?s no guarantee that you?ll get to try these dishes - but thenagain, that just means you?ll get a shot at something completely different and equally extraordinary. If you?re a totalomnivore, this is a spot you cannot miss! Read more
Having a chance to explore this beautiful city after a long day meeting, it is the place to chill and to relax with friends and... family. Based on the recommendations in the bar area, I start with their four local oysters. I can tell they are really freshand really good! It really opens my appetite! Then, followed the instructions, I try the famous Press Gang Seafood Chowder. Thishot creamy soup elevates my expectation about seafood in Halifax to the whole new level. The soup allows me to taste halibut,mussels, salmon and shrimp. It just bring me to enjoy the delicious seafood! With the good food combination the local wine, Ihave the smoked salmon wrapped Atlantic scallops seared. I am surprised by the salmon wrapping and the fried capers. Overall, Iam glad I visit this restaurant before leaving Halifax! I will come here again with my family next time!! Read more
Quite disappointing experience all in all at the Press Gang. Would not come back nor recommend this to anyone visiting Halifax,... it was a literal waste of our time and money. No portion of our meal was enjoyable - from the non-existent welcome when weentered, to introducing us to a table that was pitch black without the candles lit, to the rubbery lobster; I cannot fathom thehigh ratings of the restaurant. Perhaps the press gang has given up and is taking for granted the fact that tourists willcontinuously show up. The oysters we had here were the worst out of all the restaurants we went to in Halifax (including BlackSheep, Lot 6 bar, Bicycle Thief, Five Fisherman), fishy and not fresh. Boiled lobster was over cooked and rubbery even afterbeing sent back to the kitchen. The drinks were watered down and basically 80% ice. Also we found it odd that all sauces were25% of the container they came in, and no lemon slices accompanying the oysters?? Just an odd and disappointing experiencealtogether. I?ll actually go on to say that the single best person at your restaurant was the lady cleaning up the plates - shewas the only person who greeted us with a smile, and who was prompt in clearing the dishes after every course. She was probablyalso the only reason we left a normal tip and that we are even giving a three star rating. Read more
Loved the restaurant! The ambiance is fantastic! There was even a live music. Food was good too, though calamari were a bit too... salty and pasta a bit too oily. Staff was very nice and knowledgeable. They told us that this place was a former manor, 1759,Second oldest building in the city. Read more

The food here is phenomenal. We started with oysters which were briny, salty, and full of flavour. We also got the calamari and... the scallops. The scallops were definitely the star of the show. The restaurant itself is very cozy. The stone walls and theambience make it a great spot for a date. We also got to enjoy live music. Read more
