Check out Baan Thai (same area as Fid)...dined there for a 1st time and will go back and you have a choice of how hot, or not, you would like your food prep'd
FID, dined there this past Friday and was disappointed. My SO and I enjoy fine dining and weren't impressed. My halibut was dry (overcooked and dark brown...almost burnt). I should've sent it back, really....my fault on that. My SO had Monkfish but the black bean sauce was 'invisible' leaving the veggies and sprouts.
Fid in Halifax
This was our 1st visit and we either must've picked a bad night or the quality has diminished from what we've read and heard.
My SO didn't particularly like the roe on scallop and the black bean sauce was invisible with the Monkfish (with wok prep'd veggies and sprouts). The flourless choc. cake was nice. I had the smoked eel (very nice) and the halibut, which I found dry for the most part (guilty for not returning as it was seared on one side leaving it with dark brown edges, almost burnt..surprised it was served). I found the lentils and bok choy the best part of the entree. The assiette de desserts was nice..the spoonful of ginger creme brulee too skimpy compared to the other two.
The white wines we chose were great, the service good and the decor/ambiance very nice.
Overall, we will check other fine dining experiences in Halifax over returning to chance a 2nd time.
