🌊 Halifax’s Waterfront Dining Gem – Sea Smoke Review!

📍 Sea Smoke Restaurant & Bar This harbor-view hotspot wins with plump oysters, garlicky mussels, and sushi-grade fish – though its steak needs a timer. Perfect for tourists who prioritize views and locals craving seafood. 🏆 Why It’s Popular ✔ Oyster obsession: Daily-shucked, mignonette options ✔ Scenic bonus: Patio seats face sailboats (sunset magic) ✔ Sushi surprise: Decent rolls for a non-Japanese spot 🥢 What We Ordered 🦪 Oysters (MP) ★★★★★ Malpeque or Raspberry Point, lemony brine – order two dozen. 🥩 Ribeye ($42) ★★★☆☆ Overcooked to medium-well (ask for medium-rare), but flavor saves it. 🐟 Daily Fish ($32) ★★★★☆ Pan-seared halibut, leek butter, crispy skin – simple but flawless. 🦪 Mussels ($24) ★★★★★ White wine broth, fennel threads, sourdough for dipping. 🍣 Sushi Platter ($38) ★★★☆☆ Fresh cuts, sticky rice – skip if you want authentic Edomae. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Seafood lovers, outing with visitors, sunset cocktails ✔ Order hack: Oysters + mussels + fish = perfect trio ✔ Skip if: You only care about steak (it’s a seafood-first spot) 💰 Damage: ~$50-80 per person #HalifaxEats #SeafoodLover #WaterfrontDining
