Come savor a delightful meal at Harbourstone Sea Grill & Pour House. Come unwind at the bar with a drink. They are open after-hours all week and are readily reachable by car.
Located in the Harbourfront Marriott on Upper Water St, the Harbourstone Sea Grill offers hushed soft-seat comfort rather than a raucous, partying atmosphere. The menu centres on seafood, including fresh local oysters by the half-dozen. Selection varies day by day, with at least three to choose from on any given occasion. On a given day that might include Malpeques, Nova Scotian North Novas or any number of others.
Yeah, the Harbourstone is a hotel restaurant and not particularly summery, but Avery’s Lobster Roll could very well be the best lobster roll in town. A grilled sourdough bun is stuffed with chopped lobster and celery in a tarragon sour cream. It is a good portion of lobster with solid flavours, including grill marks you can taste! This comes with house-cut fries, salad or the soup of the moment – a pretty good deal for $15.
This hotel restaurant stands out because of the location; Harbourstone is just steps away from the two iconic Purdy’s Wharf office towers on the Halifax waterfront, making it a great locale for a business lunch. The food is excellent, too, especially for a hotel lobby bar. Try one of the hearty salads, or a delicious sandwich and, if appropriate, wash it all down with something local from the drink menu.
