Best Lobster/Seafood restaurants on or near the Boardwalk area in Halifax

[etravel]

Thinking we are going to see the sights in Halifax for our day off the ship...spend some time in the Boardwalk area...Citadel, Maritime Museum, Keith's Brewery, the garden, etc etc...what are the fun/great restaurants in that area that offer lobster/seafood where we could have a nice lunch? Thanks!!!

Another option is The Bicycle Thief -- also on the Boardwalk. We have eaten at both and enjoyed delicious lunches.

The Bicycle Thief is one of my favourite restaurants ever.   
It is Italian. 
Was there the past weekend. They had a pasta with lobster in it and several other seafood pasta dishes.  You won't get a whole lobster but they do have a lobster roll on their lunch menu.

there is the open area between the Maritime  Museum and the ship that has all kinds of booths that sell food.  Try Davy's or Dave's - cost is $29 CAD for a lobster roll (current conversion rate is $1.30 US

Last time in Halifax we ate at McKelvies (located directly across the street from the Maritime Museum). McKelvies is where you want to go to enjoy tender, buttery, melt in your mouth, Digby scallops, and lobster rolls (properly moistened with a little mayonnaise, and bits of celery and onion). It all goes down good with a Garrison Irish Red draft beer. This is where we enjoyed the best Digby scallops and lobster rolls on this cruise.

First meal in Quebec we tried to figure it out and after that, "That Was It !"...

 

After we came home so nice the CC bill did it.
