We had been to 2 Doors Down about 5 years ago. Remembering the atmosphere and past meals enjoyed here, we wanted to return. Went for an early dinner, just after opening and had the place to ourselves. We were greeted by a lovely server who sat us, gave us menus, took our drink order (local beer and white wine), and let us look over the menu. Was a bit disappointed that there was no fish and chips or fish tacos on the menu. Had those a few years ago and they were delicious. Our server brought our drinks and we ordered our food. Decided to split the Kale Caesar and added grilled shrimp, the seared scallops and also ordered the biscuits. The food was delivered and we divided the salad and seafood. The salad was very nice and the accompanying shrimp and scallops were delicious. The biscuits were served in a fun way (in a small paper bag) and were hot and tasty. The molasses butter was a nice change. Didn't check out the dessert menu. We had a nice meal and will return on our next east coast trip.

After a long day, my Mom and I wanted something little lighter to share for a late dinner - and 2 Doors Down definitely delivered! Both vegetarians, we split the Brown Rice Risotto Primavera. Please note that the photo represents a portion that was split for us by the kitchen (as in, the serving size of this dish is super generous! Delicious preparation - my Mom says it’s “probably the best risotto she has ever ordered out” - the crunchy pumpkin seeds were the perfect topper over well-seasoned and not-overcooked veggies. Our friendly and cheerful server also recommended we get an order of two buttermilk biscuits to pair with it. We’re thrilled we did because the “whipped molasses butter” teamed up with the fluffy biscuit was divine. Pretty good selection of wines by the glass here - I had the Liberty School Cabernet and my Mom had an Italian Pinot Grigio. We chose to dine on the spacious patio on a lovely summer evening. We’re glad that good reviews referred us to this terrific spot - and we hope this review does the same for you!

We came on a Sunday night for dinner. There were a few tables available for walk ins (unfortunately, seating on the patio was all by reservation). We were quickly seated indoors next to a group of about 10 people. Our food was great ... haddock and salmon. We ordered dessert (peanut butter ice cream sandwich) which ended up being on the house as we had to wait more than 30 minutes for it. Service was patchy, a result of the understaffing which is so prevalent everywhere at the moment. The atmosphere was fun but hot and noisy. On a hot August night, either air conditioning or open windows would have been great. Recommended.

The promotional photo for the restaurant shows a thick burger with plenty of extras. In reality I was served a burger that may have had 4 oz of beef on a small bun. With extra bacon and salad (not fries) my bill came to $25 plus tax. The service and atmosphere were just okay.

I get that staffing is a challenge and the restaurant business is pretty difficult…but for three hundred dollars for eight meals you’d expect a good experience. Ours wasn’t. 6pm should be a safe time for a reservation for 8. Not too busy. 45 minutes of nothing but water. Then another 15 minutes for two glasses of wine and 4 beers. Meals arrive precisely 75 minutes after we did. 1.25 hours of waiting. For what? Cold haddock that tasted like powdered mush.

At my friends' suggestion (as she had been to the restaurant before), we had dinner at Two Doors Down and it was a very pleasant evening. The atmosphere was welcoming & relaxed and the service was attentive. The kitchen was launching a new menu and our meals were both very tasty. If I lived in Halifax, I am certain that Two Doors Down would be a place I visited regularly, as the menu and vibe was great and the prices were fair.

Went for a family dinner. I recall going here about 5 years ago and having one of the best meals I’ve ever had. This experience was not great. Four people and we started with the asparagus (just a mound of asparagus with some thick tomato based sauce….really poor presentation), we also started with the bruschetta (weird….wrong choice of bread…mushy). Then we all had the burgers. I was expecting something pretty special but it wasn’t really all that good. Run of the mill kind of thing. Out waitress was somewhat awkward (or something?….robatic like. No personality). I don’t know, I probably won’t be back.

My husband and I visited for dinner last night with our 11 month old son and had a great experience. My husband tried the Meatzza Burger combo and loved it. I did the Veggie Burger with Parm fries. Honestly; best veggie burger I have probably ever had! It was deep fried and crispy on the outside and flavourful on the inside. Ughhh so delicious! Our beers were $6 each with our burgers so we tried the Lunn's Mills Lager Driver Vienna Style Lager and the Big Spruce Kitchen Party Pale Ale. Both were great, easy drinking beers. Next we tried the Propeller Pilsener and the North Brewing Light Lagered Ale. They were great too! Nova Scotia really has some great beer! Our server, Ryan, kept our water refilled the entire evening and was very good with our little son. We ordered Mac N Cheese for our son and he loved it. We were provided with a Takeout container for our leftovers for him too. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food! What more could you require for a nice dinner out? And it is always a pleasure when the server is patient and understanding with our child.

This restaurant was along the path we chose from the Halifax Citadel, past town square, through cool neighborhoods (including a stop at Neighborhood Witch nearby), and back down to our cruise ship. It was a perfect choice for lunch! Friendly service, well prepared fresh food, and the duck confit was AMAZING!

Great casual atmosphere with such friendly and welcoming staff. The food was excellent and if we had been staying longer we would have gone again. Would recommend the salmon stuffed with seafood or the scallop carbonara. Limited selection of desserts but all of them looked delicious.

My mom and I greatly enjoyed our dinners here tonight! I eat mostly vegetarian and had the butternut squash schnitzel which was a slice of heaven. My mom, who is a meat eater, had the Garden Burger and raved about it. It’s wonderful to experience two vegetarian dishes that have been so thoughtfully prepared. We would eat those dishes 100 days in a row. Would definitely recommend ⭐️

Came for dinner in late November/early December. After a chilly day, we were looking for great food combined with a great atmosphere. Our daughter who has been here several times previously had suggested this spot, as it was not far from where we were staying downtown. We had a few apps first, but the buttermilk biscuits with molasses butter should be on everyone's order without a doubt. Sooooo good. I ordered the lamb which was outstanding. They have a superb beer and drink list and I assume wine as well. The server was outstanding, which made the evening all that much better. If you're in the area, you won't go wrong by heading in for evening.

We had a terrible meal last night and the service was nothing special either. Heard so many wonderful things so I was very disappointed especially for what they charge you. We were 3 ppl 55 age group who like to eat out at good restaurants. So here is our experience. We all ordered different meals and different appetizers. They delivered our appetizers to a different table where those people started to eat them and realized they weren’t theirs because they had asked for special omissions. Good thing they didn’t have allergy’s or that would have been bad. So we waited for ours to me remade. So my soup came it was tasty but barely Luke warm. Chowder was very salty and fishy(fresh??). Fish tacos one tasted good the other not so much. So on to main courses. Mine was the worst dish I have ever tasted, so fishy I thought I was going to be sick. Husbands burger was ok, poutine upgrade not worth it and Luke warm gravy. When my sister didn’t finish her fish I knew it wasn’t good either. Oh and we had to ask for proper cutlery with each course. Spoon for soups and condiments that we asked for with the burger. So we decided on dessert which we thought had a brownie with it turned out to be just ice cream(which was good). Again gave us forks to eat the ice cream with so we had to ask for spoons. Oh my not good! So while we were waiting for our meals we saw 2 other tables get served incorrect food orders and 2 tables send back food! Let’s just say I won’t be returning!
