Esquire Restaurant

Chowder was not salty. I order one, however server splited for two of us. Lobster roll was splited too. Everything was perfect and above than we expected.

The food was good as always, nothing flashy but a good comfort food menu. Service was good. The restaurant could use a little TLC, it's dated and could use some repairs which takes away from the atmosphere but all in all what I expect when I visit.

Did not get to eat the food to give it a rating after waiting 45 minutes with my wife & 2 grandchildren & the waitresses sat many others that came in after us so after being snubbed we took the kids elsewhere. There are too many options and resturants looking to feed people to put up with this silliness. Never again!

This is a cozy restaurant along the bedford coast. I go there very often since it's close to my work place. I am curious to know why mostly elders eat there! It's normally full at peak time. The food is not too bad and reasonably priced. I like the coffee which is refilled. My friend Cyntia absolutely love the coconut pie cake.

I had a cheese burger and poutine, both were yummy. The staff were all friendly and chatted with us. We made arrangements to meet us again there in two weeks for lunch again. The strawberry shortcake looked good but we were too full to order dessert.

Shepherd's pie and a Cool Slice of Lemon Pie and a tall Glass of Ice Water for this Very Warm Day. Yes!

Delicious - had the Chowder and how delicious was it. Also strawberry shortcake did not disappoint!

Great service and great food at a fair price! Had my family of four out and we absolutely loved it.

Homestyle restaurant with honestly food.great place for a casual dinning experience. Weekend hours have been extended to 8am from 9am.

Great food for the price. The value is there for sure. It's been thirty years since my last visit, and it is definitely a destination of mine in the future. I had the seafood chowder (stuffed with seafood) and grilled cheese, while my spouse had the corn chowder and cheese bread. The only issue was my mother-in-law had a turkey sandwich and it was very difficult to find the turkey. There was almost none on the sandwich. While reflecting on the visit, we never had a coffee refill. They serve a normal mug but at 2.50ish a cup, I want a refill. Oh damn, I forgot that the server gave us our bill and never came back with the machine like she said she would. After 15 min with an empty coffee cup, we flagged another serve to take payment.
All of this aside, it wasn't a bad experience and will return.

It just wasn't as good as it used to be. My seafood was ok but the fish was small. My wife's potato was ice cold. Probably will skip by the next time.
The young lady serving was attentive and good at her job.

Service and main foods are ok and above.
Both corn chowder soup and lobster bisque are worse… not hot and watery.
They are not recommended and I will not order these soups again

The first place we had our food in halifax. And was a wonderful experience. The ambience and food is simply awesome.

Delicious grilled haddock sandwich! Would recommend!
I witnessed one member of staff being really kind to a sweet old couple and then again very kind to a disabled customer and their carer who arrived after closing time (people were still in the restaurant finishing their meals) and she still served them take away dessert so they didnt have to find somewhere else.
Plenty of off road parking too.

Always a great experience at the Esquire Restaurant. The staff are amazing and the food is always great.

Always good food and service. And they have brought back old time favorites, like cream lobster on toast and more only until the end of May.

Really, really good diner food. Reasonably priced, nice servers. One of my favourite places in HRM.

Excellent food and service. Coming from a landlocked city, I forgot that seafood was supposed to taste like this. We had the seafood chowder and fish&chips. The shellfish felt like butter in my mouth and the dish flaked easily but still moist. The chowder was not thick but rather like a cream soup. The fish and chips was light and not oily.

Service was very friendly and attentive. Had the feel of a seafood dinner with its relaxed local atmosphere.

Price point is decent for the quality of the food. The presentation is what you expect for a diner but the flavour is far above.
