🍷 Halifax’s Moodiest Dining Spot – Martin’s Kitchen Review!

📍 Martin’s Kitchen This sultry, dim-lit bistro remains a visual stunner, though some dishes now play second fiddle to the ambiance. Perfect for date nights when vibes > flawless food. 🏆 Why It’s Still Worth It ✔ Instagram gold: Moody lighting, exposed brick, candlelit tables ✔ Service royalty: Attentive but not smothering ✔ Wine wins: Curated list with stellar Chardonnay picks 🥩 What We Ordered 🐟 Tuna Tartare ($24) ★★★★☆ Sesame-crusted, avocado mousse, taro chips – texture party. 🥩 Filet Mignon ($48) ★★★★★ Butter-poached, truffle mash, red wine glaze – worth every penny. 🦑 Calamari ($18) ★★☆☆☆ Over-fried, rubbery – stick to the tuna. 🍝 Seafood Linguine ($32) ★★★☆☆ Mussels + shrimp, saffron cream – needed more oomph. 🍷 Chardonnay ($60/bottle) ★★★★★ Buttery, oaky, peachy finish – silver lining. 💡 Real Talk ✔ Best for: Anniversaries, wine dates, aesthetic seekers ✔ Order smart: Filet + tuna + wine = safe bliss ✔ Skip: Fried apps (quality varies by chef) 💰 Damage: ~$70-100 per person #HalifaxEats #MoodyDining #DateNight
