  It's so much fun to dine in this restaurant. You're eating incredible food, with the feeling you stepped back in time by 100 years

  Five Stars!! With a group of 6, the service was amazing and the food was a meal to remember! We went for "The Drill" which was a 5 course meal of the daily chefs creation! I would highly recommend it! From start to finish it was exceptional! Amazing all around in an astounding atmosphere! Unforgettable and awesome!

  We had a really great experience. It was a spur of the moment decision to eat here and it was an amazing meal. We tend to let our servers make choices about appetizers and drink selections and our server, Brad, made some fantastic suggestions. I highly recommend the short rib if it's still on the menu when you visit.

  My first visit was great, the second was adequate. We knew it was extraordinarily busy, that wasn't the problem. Finding my order of Elk undercooked and beyond "game-y" was extremely disappointing, in view of the price. I've grown to maturity on a diet that has often included Elk, both wild and domestic. More recently, The Chef's Tasting Menu offered at Eden, in The Rimrock Hotel in Banff, was the absolute end! Perhaps, Sunday night at the Press Gang, the Rack of Lamb would have been a better choice. Regrettably, with my main was an accompaniment of (borderline) crunchy barley and (tough) mushroom risotto, which I had been looking forward to almost as much as the Elk. Did the crush of 'unexpected' guests, on this Victoria Day weekend, cause some panic in the kitchen? I can't really speculate as to that. The drinks were great, the martini icy cold, the scotch quickly served. The atmosphere and history truly can not be beat! Regardless, and somewhat sadly, our dessert was not the highlight that we'd hoped would save the evening. Although a fixture on the Halifax food scene, we may have to reconsider recommending this place as a special venue for a fantastic meal and relaxing night out.

  Me and my wife were visiting Halifax in April for long Easter weekend and decided to try out one of the restaurants with good reputation. First of all I would like to mention that the service was excellent, second the food was good, at least my wife liked it. The biggest surprise was right after the visit, in 3-4 hours my wife started to feel bad and spent all the night hugging the toilet, so we ended up with food intoxication. We believe it is either from Oyster or from Langoustine.
  
  I would not recommend to visit this place, and would never visit it again.
