Overview

Getting to MacAskill's Waterfront Restaurant, on the top floor of the Dartmouth Ferry Terminal Building, means a refreshing, 10-minute ferry ride across the harbour from the Halifax waterfront. Elegance and privacy are the bywords here, with fine linens and flatware complemented by discreet lighting. The sparkling nighttime Halifax skyline provides all you need in the way of atmosphere, and there is a terrace. MacAskill's specializes in fresh seafood and a top-flight wine list. Haddock, halibut, salmon, and lobster are all carefully prepared to maximize their delicate flavors.
