    Ostrich Club is one of the best bistros in Canada. With one of Canada's top Chefs managing a very talented kitchen, fabulous wine and cocktail selection, and an outstanding Service Team out front, an evening at this busy local gem is always a great experience.

    The amount of food options does not pair well with this many wine options that are mostly sold by the bottle and very expensive. The food was presented well and excellent however the small plates are very small and again expensive! Quaint atmosphere but then rap music playing in the background??

    We again had another great meal and an enjoyable night out with friends. The cocktails and wine choices were spot on and everything we selected from their menu (a lot of new choices since we were last there) were all delicious. This is our go-to place in Halifax for a great evening out for dinner when catching up with another couple.
