1. Hamachi House
Ah, the Hamachi House. Often enough, I'm a lunch-time visitor, and I love their lunch specials. I often opt for the same mixed sushi lunch plate, and it never disappoints.
I like the cozy atmosphere and every interaction I've had with a staff member…More »
2. The Mongolie Grill
Some people might be put off with the fact that you (yes, you!) take part in cooking your own meal at the Mongolie Grill, but most people, including myself, love it!
As someone with many diet restrictions / sensitivities, I get to choose exactly what…More »
3. The Drawing Room
Wow, guys. Wow.
This place is super duper, to be sure. Everything about the place screams "awesome", and I'm disappointed in myself for not checking it out sooner (the reviews have had you all raving). I love the amazing cocktails, the menu's focus…More »
4. Ristorante a Mano
When I want great Italian ambiance and fantastic food, A Mano is one of my favorite places in the city. Yes, I can't eat everything on the menu (lots of delicious dairy and gluten abound!), but I can find plenty of pleasing options that fill my…More »
5. It's All Greek To Me
I already have a 5-star love affair going on with the original IAGTM location, so I expect nothing less at this location. Since I've only experienced take out, I am at a 4-star - pretty good for a seamless interaction that had me eating my delicious…More »
6. The Wooden Monkey
I've been back to the Wooden Monkey twice since my last review, and I'm happy to say that both experiences were a lot better than my original visit.
My new favourite dish is the Vegan Nachos. Both gluten and dairy free, these nachos are the best in…More »

Maybe I went in with high expectations, but I'm just not sure the Wooden Monkey lived up to it's… Read more »
7. alFresco filmFesto
I've been awaiting an opportunity to attend the alFresco filmFesto since 2009, and this year, I've finally experienced the joy of sitting on the waterfont to see a familiar and favourite flick on the outdoor screen.
Get ready to pack up the lawn…More »
8. Il Mercato
I can't ever say enough good things about Il Mercato. I've eaten many times at both the Spring Garden and Bedford locations, but since this is the place that I'm most familiar with, I'm going to put my five stars here.
Why five stars?
Service - Yes,…More »
9. Da Maurizio Dining Room
Oh wow. Who wouldn't love this place?
I've only dined here a couple times, and each time has been with a large group. Group dining in any setting can be a challenge, but at Da Maurizio's, they make it as enjoyable as possible without missing a beat.…More »
10. Putting Edge
I'm almost embarrassed to say that I'm willing to spend a Sunday afternoon at glow-in-the-dark mini-putt, but aw, heck! Who cares? It's actually a lot of fun, and the glow in the dark setting is pretty entertaining.
So, if you feel you need an excuse…More »
11. Mix Fresh Kitchen - CLOSED
Mix has been on my radar for a long while now, but I couldn't seem to find an excuse to visit. One sometimes needs an "occasion" to justify drinking bottles of wine while overlooking a beautiful harbour view, and my case, my excuse was the Victoria…More »
12. Hamachi Steakhouse
The Hamachi Steakhouse has recently undergone some renovations, and it now incorporates a few more seating options, in addition to the traditional Teppanyaki tables.
I've been to the Hamachi Steakhouse a few different times, but never for Teppanyaki.…More »
13. Brooklyn Warehouse
Three words: Warm Mushroom Salad.
I love a lot of the food at the Warehouse, but this salad is salad heaven. Sure, mushrooms appeal to less than large set of the population, but I encourage you get this on your next visit. You will NOT be…More »
14. The Fireside
I've been to the Fireside numerous times, and each and every time they are jam packed! Perhaps that's because I'm a sucker for the $5 Martini night?
What I love about the Fireside, in addition to the delicious drinks, is the service. Yeah, it's…More »
15. Obladee Wine Bar
I think I love this place. No, no thinking is required. I LOVE this place.
Obladee is becoming my de-facto drinking establishment for more than a few reasons:
1) Service. Hands down, the best staff around. They love chatting with their patrons, and…More »

There is something very charming about Obladee, that I just can't get enough of. Although they are a… Read more »
16. Morris East
On a whim, myself and two others decided to drop by Morris East on Friday night for dinner. As usual, the joint was packed, but that's okay, it's worth the wait.
We were assured about 20 min for a wait, and since the weather is so nice, we whiled…More »

17. It's All Greek To Me - CLOSED
I absolutely LOVE this place.
After living away for some time and always having to hear from my friends how much they love It's All Greek To Me, I knew it was a place I had to dine. My girlfriends and I now make it a regular place to meet up for a…More »
18. Oxford Theatre
I love that this theatre hasn't lost it's charm over time. It's a classic location on Quinpool and my rule of thumb when deciding what movie to see, is that whatever is at the Oxford is usually a "must see".
I love the small entrance with the old…More »
19. Emera Skating Oval
Having the Oval return to the Commons is probably the best thing that could happen over winter.
I'm not a great skater, but that doesn't really matter. It's fun just to try! And, the space is huge, so you can spread out and take things at your own…More »
20. Empire 8 Theatre
This is a great downtown theatre that normally has a good selection of movies to pick from. Cheap night (Tuesdays) is supremely popular here, probably due to the sheer ease of accessibility for students and the like who live within walking distance…More »
21. Sweet Hereafter
Not many new businesses get the experience down really, really well early on in the game, but Sweet Hereafter is the exception to the rule. I am so excited about this place, that I tell everyone I know about it, I swear.
What's so awesome about this…More »
22. Beazley Bowling Lanes and Mini Putt
I am not a fan of bowling. There, I said it.
However, as much as I will never choose to don bowling shoes and hurl a ball down an alley for funsies, I won't turn down the opportunity to hang out with friends or family in the name of humiliation as I…More »
23. Blue Olive
I was really disappointed when the previous iteration of this restaurant, It's All Greek to Me suddenly closed over the holidays. However,there's good news, as the Zelios family has a new version of their old haunt now open under the name the Blue…More »
24. Symphony Nova Scotia
I love classical music, and I think there is no better way to become acquainted with the tradition of classical music through a live performance. I've been a semi-regular attendee of the Nova Scotia Symphony since I was a high schooler and I…More »
25. CMYE: Yelp Hearts Bikes!
So now that I've recovered from all the excitement of today with a a nap, I can properly write a review that I hope lives up to all of the fun we encountered today.
I an not a regular bike rider, but as I kept saying today, this experience made me…More »
