Notes: This isn't the most favourable review of the Waterfront Warehouse, and in a way, it's not really their fault. You see, J doesn't like seafood, and T is allergic to it. Although their website claims that "This is the place for simply sensational seafood in Halifax," we didn't know that this this going in - we'd never been there before, and had been invited by a relative who we hadn't seen in years, so we didn't have any input in the venue selection. That being said, it's really not fair to have have so few non-seafood items on the menu - three salads, one appetizer (escargot - yuck) and a $36 steak. So, there really wasn't much for us to choose from. We both went with the Warm Roasted Chicken Mushroom Salad (sans mushrooms for J, who also begged for a side of fries to compensate). They were decent, but really weren't filling - if not for the fries, we would have had to head off in search of pizza afterwards. So, although it's probably heaven for those who love seafood, it just wasn't for us. Negative points for lack of non-seafood selection, and for the hordes of of flies in the restaurant.
