Charming spot located in Sunnyside Mall, in the "hub", so to speak, of Bedford.  Which, if you live or have lived in Bedford, you will understand.  The atmosphere is casual, with low lighting and comfortable dark wooden booths and tables creating a…More »

I visited this cosy little restaurant today on the very positive recommendation of a co-worker, and was not disappointed.  With an extensive menu containing a variety of different types of food, there is more to Mary's than meets the eye.

They offer a…More »

4.0 star rating
  11/20/2010 First to Review

This split personality establishment consists of Rosie's, a family style restaurant on one side and Paddy's, a more pub style eatery on the other.  They share the same kitchen, and more or less the same menu.  Both have ample seating with a good mix…More »

A nice little pub with a lot of character.  I've only eaten in the downstairs portion of the restaurant, but I've enjoyed it every time I've been.  The food is delicious.  Especially of note for me are the smoked salmon sandwhich (on toasted marble…More »

While it may not be perfectly authentic mexican food, and some of their menu items are definitely tastier and better prepared than others, I do enjoy this restaurant.  Overall, their food is quite fresh and flavourful, and I love how friendly the…More »

  2/11/2011

Sharp little spot on Quinpool, an area that is quickly becoming one of my favourite Halifax hot-spots.  I've been finding so many gems here recently.  But back to Rock Island specifically, it is a small-ish, cozy place, with a slightly upscale feel,…More »

Came here for dinner with a girlfriend one night after not having been for years.  It was just as I remembered, a quiet but elegant little spot, perfect for either a romantic evening or an intimate gathering of friends.

They were not very busy, and…More »

Oh Hart and Thistle, you wet my whistle, and carried my hunger away...

Okay, so while my attempt at literary wit may have failed to impress, this restaurant and all it has to offer surely will not.

The fiance and I, along with a good friend of ours,…More »
