We dined at Five Fishermen for Valentine’s Day. We were seated right on time for our reservation, which we appreciated, especially on a busy night.
We ordered the rib eye steak, frutti di mare pasta, and seafood chowder. The steak was okay, but for the price, it didn’t really stand out compared to other restaurants. The pasta was good and I enjoyed it, though it also didn’t feel particularly special. The seafood chowder was a bit watery for my liking, but the flavor itself was really good.
We understand it was a Valentine’s rush, but the service felt a little slow. A party that arrived about 10–15 minutes after us ended up receiving their food at the same time as ours. For a date night, it also felt like a missed opportunity not to have something small and thoughtful included, even just a simple Valentine’s touch.
Overall, the vibes were nice and definitely date-night appropriate. We just expected a bit more, especially considering we paid around $200 for one steak, one pasta, one soup & 2 cocktails.

I had the Five Fish Experience and the oysters — both were absolutely outstanding! The oysters were large, fresh, and delicious, and their mignonette was divine. The Five Fish meal was generous and perfectly prepared.
What truly made the evening unforgettable was the service. Laura went above and beyond — I’ve never felt so well attended to. The hostesses were also wonderful and welcoming, even taking my coat upon arrival. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The Five Fishermen definitely did not disappoint!

My husband and I just celebrated our anniversary and Valentine’s Day at The Five Fishermen, and we couldn’t be happier! From the food to the service, it was great. Our waitress gave excellent menu recommendations and was kind and attentive. We would recommend this place – especially for special celebrations!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice and the service was excellent—friendly and attentive. However, the food did not fully meet my expectations. We ordered the 5 Fish Experience, but it arrived slightly cold, and the risotto felt a bit firm, as if it needed more cooking time. Overall, the experience was pleasant thanks to the ambiance and service, but I was expecting more from the food.

We had high hopes for Five Fishermen, and while there were definitely some highlights, the overall experience didn’t quite justify the price.
First off, the atmosphere is lovely—refined but not stuffy—and the service was wonderful throughout. Our server was friendly and attentive, which really helped set the tone for the night.
We originally wanted to try a couple of cocktails, but the prices were sky-high, so we stuck with beer instead. Thankfully, the beer selection was solid and went well with our meals.
I ended up ordering the burger, mostly because the steaks were way out of our price range. That said, I was pleasantly surprised—the burger was excellent. Super juicy, with a delicious aioli and tomato jam that really elevated it.
My wife had the vegetarian risotto, and while she enjoyed it once everything was mixed together, the base risotto itself was pretty bland. Not a bad dish, but definitely not worth what we paid for it.
If we weren’t on a budget, we might have been able to explore more of the menu—and maybe that would have changed our impression. But as it stands, this one’s a 3 out of 5 for us. Nice place, but just too expensive for what we got.

We had a date night here on Wednesday. We just wanted some lobster before leaving the city and this restaurant fulfilled that wish.
Our server Alishia was amazing. Her wine recommendation complimented our meal well. The lobster Mac and cheese was tasty and so was the mash that came with the lobster dinner!
The lemon loaf 6 ways was quite interesting as a finisher to our night.

I didn’t love my meal, but the restaurant is full, so I’m sure others love theirs. Laura was a phenomenal waitress and she took very good care of me.
The atmosphere is lovely. The dessert was great, very refreshing.

Our flight back to Toronto was scheduled for 10 PM, so we decided to make the most of our last evening in Halifax by having dinner somewhere near the Prince George Hotel. While browsing for nearby restaurants on Google, we came across this spot and thought it looked promising—so we decided to give it a try.
As we walked in, we were surprised to discover that the building actually houses two different restaurants. Since we didn’t have a reservation, the hostess offered us bar seating upstairs at The Five Fishermen, which we gladly accepted.
The ambiance upstairs was warm, stylish, and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing dinner. We were served by a cool and friendly bartender who made us feel right at home. We decided to start with two appetizers, followed by our main courses. Everything we ordered was cooked beautifully and tasted amazing. I’m a huge fan of seafood, and this place definitely delivered on flavor and quality.
To top it all off, the staff surprised us with a sweet gesture at the end of our meal in celebration of our anniversary. It was a thoughtful touch that truly made the evening feel extra special and memorable.
If you’re in Halifax and looking for a nice spot to enjoy a quality meal—especially if you love seafood—I highly recommend checking this place out. The service, food, and atmosphere were all on point, and it was a perfect way to wrap up our trip.

Experience was amazing. Staff are friendly caring and quite frankly possibly the best I’ve ever experienced. My waitress Laura was a real professional and genuinely cared about my experience. A bit pricy but very good food. Would recommend.
