2 Doors Down Food + Wine - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I had a late dinner here on a quiet Monday night. Not many other diners, so the staff were attentive but not looming over my table. Braised lamb shank was delicious and fell off of the bone with almost no effort from me. The real star was my choice from the ... dessert menu. The vanilla bean cheesecake with salted caramel and chocolate cornflakes (?!). This was, simply put, one of the best cheesecakes I've had in my life. Light, a pleasant but not overpowering taste, and the slight crunch of the cornflakes added something really special. I honestly might go back before I leave town just to have the cheesecake again!

Brought some out of town business guests here for dinner. Great place for them to get to as they were staying downtown. Atmosphere was bright, service was very good and the food was outstanding. I had the 2024 Burger Bash special - a Donair Smashburger with honey drizzled onion rings. ... My guests had the old fashioned burgers with fries. All were amazing, I mean just look at the pic I posted and tell me you can't taste those onion rings! And get the biscuits! Will see you again soon! Read more

My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday (I did a reservation previously via their website) and it was just perfect. We took the 3 course meal option they are having right now for $40 (+tax) and everything was just delicious! We tried the Kale Salad, the calamaries, ... the Steak Frite and both dessert options (can't remember their names right now), just perfect! Our server, Kyle, was excellent, always attentive and friendly. 5/5 Experience. The place is cozy and the decor is nice. Read more

We came for a dinner date to celebrate becoming an uncle and Aunt, and the service was absolutely great. Host and server were warm and welcoming. My partner got the smokehouse burger which came out with a fantastic portion and a delicious burger. However, the Steak Frites priced at market ... value came out med-well to well done (mainly well) which seems unreasonable for a MP item on the menu when it’s requested to be Medium (as below medium was unavailable) for the AAA sirloin.

Visited here for my first time during Dine Around. Was really excited to try their menu and then learned it was last years that was posted. Still found some good options! Overall, the food for us was ok - plating and presentation was brilliant and colourful, but my appetizer and ... both of our mains, while very tasty with well balanced flavours, weren't very hot and my scallops were overcooked. Desserts were both excellent - would go back for the sticky toffee pudding alone! Service was a bit slow and we did have to flag our server down a couple of times but she was friendly. Space was a bit tight at our table and there was no where for coats/bags etc. Overall, I would try eating there again and explore their regular menu. Read more
