To start: I kind of want to give the stache a 4.5. Simply because if you place it in the other categories of 5, the food doesn't really compare. We aren't talking top chef quality but that doesn't in no way mean it isn't delicious. The atmosphere, patio, and everything else, bumped this rating back up to a 5.
My moustache. Oh how I love thee. The number of plates of nachos that I have put back here is more than likely disgusting. It would probably average out to 2 a week. They are by far my favorite nachos in the city (sorry shoe shop). Writing a review for this place gives me a slight bit of anxiety, simply because I love it so much. Let me count thy ways as to why I love the stache and why you need to go if you haven't already
1) Obvs, the chos are my list. The Coast rates them as the 2nd runner up in the city. When it comes down to it, it is entirely based on preference of what you're looking for in a cho. For me, its tons of tomatoes and jalapenos with sour cream and salsa. The stache delivers that to me every time, and lots of it. Not too pricey and effing delish. Win win.
2) The food in general at the stache isn't what I'd call gourmet. They certainly have a few solid dishes that I do enjoy. The pub club for starters. Winner of the 2011 Best clubhouse sandwich, the pub club has charbroiled chicken breast, mozza, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion all on a fab hunk of grilled French bread. Sounds simple, but it is pretty bomb. Other favorites are the almond grape salad, spring rolls, and the chicken dinner.
3) The stache also has one ballin' patio in the summer time. Halifax's patio season is like none other and you are always lucky if you can nab a seat at the stache. With an awesome view of spring garden road and tabletop fire places make for an awesome summer venue. The heat lamps also make it doable into September.
4) I've always had great service at the stache. I find them super fast even when they are busy. The number of times I've eaten there, I have yet to come across a bad egg of a server.
5) This place is massive. It is great if you want to get a bunch of people together and not have to worry about being elbow to elbow. It's a solid place to chill for beers with 20 of your buddies, last minute.
6) They have my most fav breaky in all of the land. Super cheap (6.75$) for the breakfast special which is: 2 egg, 2 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 pieces of toast, lots of fruit, and for a little extra cents you get hash browns. Again, it comes fast and powerful for the emergency hangover incidences.
7) The have my fav buckets of candy at the door for when you leave--not to worry, they don't mind if you take a handful.
8) There are lots of tv's strategically placed around the joint to occupy your boyfriends mind and attention the entire time you eat.
9) The caesars! So far, they are my favorite in the city. Served with a wicked stalk of celery and just the perfect amount of spice. I crave these bad boys day and night. Perfect for breakfast to start the day off just right or for the start to your evening. They go heavy on the vodka, which goes undetected. So proceed with caution (I never do)
10) Just do it.
