Jim’s is my mother’s favourite place to eat out, so we go there when she wants to go out. It’s a traditional family restaurant with regular Nova Scotian home cooked meals. I think on the best bonuses of the restaurant is the location and the view. One of the best (and least well known) views of the Halifax harbour and the Bedford basin. Just beautiful. You can sit by a window seat with the best view, or in the summer, sit on the deck for a full experience. The only downside is the train tracks are literally 100 feet away between your view of the basin, and the trains do move on a regular basis. However, it still is the best view. Not many other restaurants can compare to this. I had what I thought were the best fish cakes ever there, but they are apparently no longer on the menu. Today we ordered the meat lovers 9” pizza and the map salmon dinner. The maple salmon was good and very large. The vegetables were somewhat sparse, and the Greek potatoes weren’t the best I’ve had, but the Greek salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. Well worth the price on all accounts. 9” pizza $10.99. Maple salmon dinner $15.99.

The food can be hit or miss, same as many family restaurants. Had the nachos which had ample toppings, but the onions were not green onions as stated in the menu, but white onions, which are much more powerful. Not enough sour cream and salsa either. Clams and fish and chips were great though. Average prices. My parents are regulars and they love it here.

Went there with my wife and brother's family. Had the Greek dish with Moussaka, Chicken Skewer, Lemon Roast Potatoes, and Greek Salad. Everything tasted delicious and the portions were very generous. Wait-staff very efficient and attentive to our needs. They deserve the five star rating. There wasn't one negative issue with the meal. Well done. By the way, they have WiFi.

The portion sizes for food were perfect! My party and I were perfectly satisfied when we finished our meals. (Were not overly or under fed.) However, the tall, young waitress made a lot of facial remarks whenever we placed an order for something. We also had to ask for our silverware... the other waitresses were great to us when our server was no where to be seen, though. All I can say, food was great but our assigned waitress was not. If I ever go back, I will make sure to ask for a different waitress or sit in an area that she does not cover. She was not welcoming, at all.

Great view. Indeed the best view in town. Good food. It is not the best, tastiest ever, but I am sure everyone can find something for their taste. My favourite is the day soup.
