    Such a wonderful happy hour (and onwards) experience! We had wonderful service all night. We enjoyed the oysters so much that we ordered a third set! Happy hour oysters is a bit funny- you get 8 oysters for one dollar each for each appetizer/main that you order. So 8$ for 8 oysters with a food purchase. There is also a sparkling, red, and white wine option for 6$ during happy hour instead of 9$. We had 24 oysters, charcuterie plate, gnocchi and a burger and it was all really delicious. I will definitely be back!

    Honestly it was amazing. The risotto balls and steak with risotto is a must. Best meal I’ve had here in Halifax, felt like we were in Europe with the quality of food.

    Fantastic experience here! Came for their happy hour and enjoyed $1 oysters with our order of a charcuterie board. Limited selection of wine and beer was available for $6 for happy hour. The food was delicious and the server was very attentive, we asked for extra crackers for the charcuterie board and she provided them promptly! Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

    Great local spot with a nice vibe. Seems to be a place to frequent for locals like a go to spot vibe . Cozy chairs and great food presentations and their shuck a buck deal during happy hour is amazing . Sadly the time we ordered oysters there weren't shucked fully and a bit mangled. All tasted the same though . The bread for the steak tartare was a bit too overpowering for my liking. You could really taste the steak though. The tuna tartare was good, definitely more like tuna sashimi with toppings though.

    I went to Elliot & Vine right when they opened on a Saturday night with a date. We decided to try a few courses over the 3 hours we spent there. I've eaten at almost every restaurant in Halifax and tonight's meal was second to none. Big thank you to Chef Madill and the staff at Elliot & Vine for the great night.

    Service was excellent and the dessert cake was amazing! Found the fish a bit underwhelming but the atmosphere was cozy and I'll def go back and try something else next time.

    Delicious. Great food. We love this restaurant; we can count on an excellent experience every time. We keep coming back. Edit: It's also great place to have a conversation and catchup with friends, intimate environment and not loud at all. When we are on our way to a show they are reliable to helps us meet our time frame.

    Best restaurant in town! Phenomenal food and atmosphere. Great prices for the top notch quality of their ingredients. Even the basics like the EV Caesar bring that wow factor. The house-made pasta never fails to impress! Do yourself a favour and try it out!

    We went early to take advantage of Happy Hour and are glad we did. It wasn’t busy so the server was very attentive. We enjoyed delicious Buck a shuck oysters from Pristine Bay and $6 margaritas to start. Then I had the tuna tartare and fries while my husband had the halibut. We were both very happy with our choices. Hope to go back soon!

    We went to Elliot & Vine for my daughter's shower, a group of 14. The gang at the restaurant treated us soon well. We had a wine tasting and food pairing and a fabulous dinner. Definitely going back, can't wait. Thank you to all of you that made my daughter's night. ❤

    This little gem on Cunard Street is a real delight. The staff are friendly and the Pumpkin Cheesecake I had was reallllly good. It was just a desert and glass of wine nite. The pie was gone before I had time to think of taking a photo. Then I noticed a Gemimi Award on the bar!!!! Not too many of those floating around. Turns out that the owner is an award winning filmmaker! So bravo for the award, and your wonderful restaurant.

    I love this place more and more every time I go back! I often find myself loving a dish at a restaurant and then reordering the same one each time I visit... however everything at EV is so delicious that I love switching it up ! (Except the blueberry "cheesecake" - that's a staple) Love everything about this place. Can't wait to try brunch.

    This is currently one of my tops place to eat in Halifax. The vibe, the food, the service, the drinks…all of it. The staff know how to make sure you have a great dining experience. It’s a lot of fun if you can get a spot at the bar!

    One of the best meals I've had in Halifax. We had the Brussel Sprouts (at the recommendation of our waiter) and the risotto croquettes which were both amazing. The Oysters were perfectly fresh. Our main courses were both the burger week burger which did not disappoint either. Despite all of the amazing food, the winner for me was the Apple Spice cake which was the best dessert I've ever had and I don't usually like many desserts.

    One of the best meals I've ever had. Definitely try out their whiskey shrimp, an amazing starter. Everything was nicely portioned, not too much on the plates was refreshing. Cocktails are on point too!

    Delightful local restaurant...great patio...the Flatbread was amazing as were Eric and Phil. Wonderful attention to detail. Highly recommend do dining here.

    Perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked and rested steak. Cacio e pepe was delicious. Servers were friendly and unobtrusive. This is our new favorite local place.

  • 2/5 Jeremie D. 7 months ago on Google
    The staff were lovely as was the atmosphere and vibe. However, the food was very meh. Fries were stale, burger tasted like straight ground beef without any seasoning. It also had a bit of a boiled texture. I even found the Oysters very bland, which was odd. Someone is letting things go in the kitchen and I hope this restaurant isn't resting on its laurels, because that never ends well. If the food was as great as the vibe I would be a regular. But it's not, so I'm not.

    Beautiful atmosphere, outstanding service and absolutely delicious food and cocktails! Arguably some of the best oysters in the city. Our server was very knowledgable and charismatic. We will definitely be back with friends for a wine tasting soon!

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food was very tasty! Found the portions to be on the smaller side.

  • 5/5 Simon G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great steak and fries. However, the steak is only 6oz, so not enough for someone hungry. The restaurant is pretty casual.

    Overall good experience, the dish I had could have been a little warmer. That being said I would like to come again and try another dish. The brussel sprouts were the bomb.

  • 5/5 Anne Da S. 4 months ago on Google
    We went to Eliot and Vine for the first time for my birthday supper. The atmosphere, the food, the service, and the overall experience was incredible! The brussel sprouts are worth writing home about Lol but truly it was a lovely evening and we will absolutely be back!

  • 3/5 Aafiah H. 2 years ago on Google
    The food, drinks and atmosphere were great! Very disappointed with where we were seated, given that we had a 6:00 pm reservation and half the restaurant was empty. I am keen to know how seating is pre-determined. We were seated by the door, where every few minutes we were greeted with a wintery blast. Unfortunately, my husband and I did not voice our concerns when shown to our seats, as we wanted to enjoy a pleasant evening out and support local.
