I was pregnant at the time and despite being a beer aficionado, I only had a
few sips of Keith's! :-(
The Five Fisherman was rather pricey, but the food and service was awesome,
it was as if we were the only patrons in the establishment. The waiter said
something abut it being haunted too, because it was a convent school at one
time?
We only had one night in Halifax, which is regretful, but it's a good reason
to plan another trip there.
