Let me begin with saying we love love love the food and cocktails at Field Guide! Everything we tasted so far are bursting with flavor and are very unique combinations. However last night the way we were treated quite upset me and my friends because we made a reservation for 8 pm and when we got there they told us our table is not ready , people were sitting in our table just ordered their desserts. We were seated at the bar and told to wait for that table to finish, even though they take your credit card info to make the reservation ! We had to wait 43 minutes to be able to sit at the table we made reservations and our server did not say anything like oh we are sorry, apologies nothing, as...
We stumbled onto this place during a recent trip to Halifax, trying to find a patio party that was cancelled. Friend didn 't love the menu (not a 'sharer ' , so we had drinks and bite to eat at the bar, before heading back downtown for dinner. I had a taco, it was very good, friend just a bowl of bread. My issue was with the bartender. I asked if he could make a martini (we had recently been in Iceland and no one had ever heard of them, much less made one... . He seemed offended and said 'I should lose my job if I can 't '... OK... Then I said very dry, and he scoffed. Apparently he 's a vermouth fan, I am not. His attitude never improved, and he was on his phone for most of the rest of our...
My partner and I ventured here to check out the cocktails as it came up in a “best Halifax cocktails” google search. The search result did not disappoint! We were blown away. We sat at the bar and it was clear the staff are experts at their craft as they put intention into their creations, including making their own liquors. We also got oysters which were some of the best oysters Ive ever had. We also had the olives and were mind blown. The staff are friendly and take pride in what they do. We loved it! We will be back next time we are in Halifax and will recommend it to everyone.
Our Field Guide experience was really good. I like how they blended the small dinning room with the bar, it gathers everyone inside. It's hard to understand the restaurant pattern between all the meals, but we definitely enjoyed the food. Mushroom bao and cauliflower taco are both a must (we also really liked the gnocchi). Good place to bring a date!
