Fizz Friday. Oscar's behind the bar. And he brought snacks. 🍸

Cocktails at the Seaside Luncheonette is everything we love about what happens when a great bartender gets creative.

Botanical gin, black pepper, maraschino, black tea, lemon & a garnish so good it eats like a full course.

Finger sandwich and dulse....on a cocktail and only at Gio. 🍹🫖

Spring at Gio means Nova Scotia apple butter glazed scallops with a black shallot cream sauce, venison braised with juniper and spruce, pistachio crusted halibut stuffed with halibut mousse and a foie gras burger that has absolutely no business being as good as it is.

This is the menu we have been waiting to share with you. Bold, seasonal and built around the kind of ingredients that only make sense right now, when the weather turns and Halifax finally starts to feel like itself again.

Come see what spring tastes like. Reserve your table.

There’s a reason Nova Scotia oysters hit different this time of year.

Cold Atlantic water does something to an oyster that warmer months just can’t replicate. As a result, our oysters are denser, brinier & cleaner. The kind of flavour that makes you pause mid-bite.

We’re taking you through everything you need to know about oyster season right now. From why cold water matters to how to order them like you’ve done it a hundred times and what to drink alongside them.

Peak season doesn’t last forever, come enjoy it while it’s here. 🦪

Reserve your table. Link in bio.

Now serving at Gio...ask for Oscar.
