We ferried across the Hudson River from NYC to Halifax Hoboken at the W Hotel. Known for their Nova Scotian cuisine which is associated with simple food made with few (often in-house curated and made) ingredients, the cuisine includes Halibut, Swordfish, Haddock, Lobster, Oysters, Mussels, Clams, amd Seaweeds. Chef Seadon Shouse makes his own salt, smoked meats, spice blends, corn syrup (from NJ corn), as well as liquors such as his own Vermouth.
When dining here, earth tones mix with wood tones to create a comfortable ambiance set against full windows that look out on the Hudson River with a stunning Manhattan view. Named after the capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax is a creative collaboration between Nova Scotia fare, local farm and fishery delights and sustainable cuisine. Each dish has locally sourced meat, produce, dairy, or Marine Stewardship Council-certified fish.
They have a good mix of coastal inspired dishes and land based dishes on all of our menus. Whether you're enjoying breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there is always something special in each dish that comes directly from the Chef's childhood home in Nova Scotia.
The summer menu is focused on a lighter fair while the fall will have more grilled items as opposed to those that are braised. For the summer, there's NJ heirloom tomatoes, NJ corn and summer squashes, where in the fall they will use more roots (parsnips, rutabaga, large beets) and fall squashes (butternut, delacata, Kabocha).
3 Appetizers we suggest are Sea Scallops Carpaccio with kohlrabi, horseradish remoulade, fresno peppers, dill oil, lemon viniagrette, Lamb Meatballs with Smoked Gorgonzola Fondue, and Maine Mussels with Roasted Pepper Butter & White Wine.
Our favorite 3 mains are: BBQ Grilled Nova Scotia Swordfish with Eggplant Caponata, Kale, Crispy Eggplant, Sesame Seed Puree, Rabbit Duo with Braised Leg, Grilled Rabbit Sausage, Pickled NJ Peaches, Lentils, and NJ Sea Scallops with Nova Scotia Sea Truffle Butter, Toasted Barley, Braised Leeks.
We suggest pairing your bites this summer with: Cool Hemingway with Hardshore Gin, Cucumber, Absinthe, Sparkling Wine, Watermelon Drop with Grey Goose Essence, Chambord, Orange Liquor, and Strawberry Field with Appleton Rum, Strawberries, Elderflower, Whey.
Complete your meal with: Apple Fritters with salted caramel, peanut butter ganache, grapefruit campari, NJ Peach Pavlova with spiced meringue, honeycomb, lemon, whipped cream, and Almond Blackberry Cheesecake with ginger crumble, almond brittle, orange blackerries
