“ We went for the Wednesday tasting menu and opted for the wine pairings as well. I ordered the vegetarian version. It was a great experience. The staff are wonderful, too. Each dish was punctuated with different tasty flavours. The presentation was spot on. For 85 plus 35 for the wine pairings, it was a fantastic experience. ”
“ We went for dinner at their new location, and ordered the salmon and duck. Both were delicious, perfectly cooked, and unique delicate flavours. Had the hazelnut cake for desert, which was also quite tasty. ”
“ Wonderful addition to The North End! Everything was great, from cocktails to food to service. Parisian gnocchi cacio e pepe was a highlight. A surprising amount of flavour for such a delicate dish. I could've easily eaten 2 more bowls of it! Can't wait to return ”
“ One word review summary: Perfection! :) The food & experience at Hop Scotch Dinner Club are amazing. Each course of the meal left me feeling satisfied and with a sense of longing for more! I feel that each dish was planned and executed to perfection. The flavour profile in each dish is amazing! Everything on the plate tastes incredible by themselves and make a perfect dish together. Being a vegetarian, I honestly did not know what to expect, but I had seen their posts about vegetarian options on social media, and decided that I’d take a chance. Proved to be the right decision in the end. I loved the whole experience. The staff are caring and the food is amazing. I will be returning and am happy to recommend this place! Edit: just had the tasting menu at Hop Scotch! My goodness! Again, I cannot find more words than “perfection” to summarize my dining experience. Thank you, chef Stephanie, for the amazing creative dining experience!! ”
“ A Hidden Gem! Reta's is a delightful spot where every dish bursts with flavor and the service is always warm and welcoming. From the first bite to the last, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. It's a quiet, cozy place that lets you truly enjoy your meal and the company you're with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing dining experience with amazing food! I wish the plating of the duck dish would be a bit different. We couldn't enjoy the sauce much without ordering the sourdough bread. Also if spoons were provided without asking as the sauces go to waste and we cannot enjoy them with the fork so the amazing sauces are wasted. ”
“ We went for an anniversary dinner and it was spectacular. We ordered the scallops and pork belly appetizers and they were both amazing. The scallops were cooked to absolute perfection and the pork belly was so tender and flavourful with a pear sauce that is unmatched. For our mains we ordered the tuna and the short rib and they were both over the top. This restaurant offers fine dinning without a pretentious atmosphere. Very comfortable little restaurant and some of the best food I’ve ever had! All in (before tip) and after tax our dinner cost 130CA including two drinks, two appetizers and two entrees. Will definitely be back!! ”
“ Their tasting menu was world class. Duck was cooked to perfection, their take on chicken and waffles was very unique, and overall every dish was incredible. ”
“ Got to have their tasting menu at their Bliss Caffeine Bar pop-up and it was amazing! Every course was so delicious and the service was great. Definitely plan to seek out another one next time we're in Halifax from Toronto! ”
