Located on the corner of Blowers St and Argyle St this little piece of Greece is a must visit.  The outside-inside decor gives you the feeling of sitting outside on a warm sunny day, despite the weather in the real world outside.  A great place to…More »

Such character, such atmosphere, such class.  So many "Irish" pubs come across tacky in their attempt to be traditional.  Not this place.  Natural wood everywhere, take a look at the back tables, they actually have tree trunks as table legs.  Cool.…More »

I've been putting off this review not because I wasn't a fan, but because this place is totally awesome.  5 stars across the board from service to food to beverages.  Decor is cozy, well lit, large distressed wooden tables, feels like a real Irish…More »

Great balls of fire!  If you get the chance to check this place out, do yourself a favour and order the "Flaming Saganaki".  No exaggeration, the flames touched the roof for a brief second.  And the cheese... sooo delicious.

New this month to Cole Harbour is aptly named Cole's Restaurant.  Cozy, comfortable and relaxing.  Seat yourself (we took the back corner booth) and browsed their menu.  Burgers are their claim to fame, so we had to try one.  Me I was tempted by the…More »

They put steak spice on their potato skins!!!  Yum.
This place has been on Waverly rd for as long as I've been in Dartmouth (over 20 yrs now) and it's become quite a land mark.  They have fantastic daily specials, and if you want one of the best…More »
