The Carleton — Restaurant in Halifax

Had heard a lot of positive feedback re this venue so had high expectations. Sadly our first visit was a negative experience.

We were with a group and were chatting. The band's sound person approached our group and let us know we were being too loud. Fair enough except there were two other groups of "regulars" who just as loud as we were.

All of that said if that was the end of things no issue.

What bothered me was the sound man hadn't even made it back to his sound board when we were approached by a second staff member. I would have thought we would have the opportunity to comply with the initial request before being repremanded a second time.

All the while the other regulars were freely chatting without reproach. Up to management to decide how they want to run their establishment but I can tell you that I certainly didn't feel welcome

I will be back for sure. Thank you so much to the Carlton for such a great night and introduction to your wonderful...

Historic Halifax dining and live music venue. Under new ownership, with recent renovations and a great new chef and menus have uplifted this Halifax landmark. Check their live music programming for which it is commonly known. But definitely check out their new menus for dinner, lunch, and brunch (Saturdays and Sundays). Brunch recommendations: Scotch eggs, omelette and the banana bread french toast are outstanding. The housemade yogurt is also shockingly good! Lots of changes, keep an eye on this spot. And they just opened the summer patio! Great spot for an afterwork drink, a business lunch, informal or romantic dinner, a concert. They also have a private...
