good martinis

i asked the a really snarky question which was "so, do you guys make good martinis"? the anwer came back "of course" whatever, what are they supposed to say. anyway it turns out thery were really good, strong and the right proportions for what i ordered. i was super please. I've eaten there a few times and although i dont' remember what i've had i remember liking it and also its a place i can bring my weird vegan friends when they come to town. so that is handy. also the desserts are great. sweet, yummy and interesting. so i'm a fan all in all.

Was the best beef sandwich I've ever had. Cooked...

Was the best beef sandwich I've ever had. Cooked to perfection, and since it was free-range beef I had no qualms about eating it. Everything from the bread to the vegetables was fresh and delectable.

Superior salads in Halifax

Superior salads in Halifax

Look for the historic brick house with the yellow wood accents on Grafton Street. Inside you'll find a comfy, inviting space with views of downtown, largely constructed from wood recovered from buildings downed by Hurricane Juan in 2003. They pride themselves on local ingredients here, making salads like the roasted chickpea salad or the sweet apple salad – with daikon and scallions – extra delicious. For those who lean macrobiotic, vegan or gluten-free, the staff here are wonderfully accommodating.
