Tonight, Halifax’s new European-inspired restaurant Eliot & Vine opens at 2035 Clifton Street after a champagne opening last night, where photographers Andrew Donovan and Crissie Brenton (Phototype) snapped a few sneak-peek photos of the 55-seat venture by film producer Johanna Eliot. The gorgeous resto offers exquisite design, reminiscent of Eliot’s childhood in Greece, luxurious ever-changing menus by executive chef Jason Townes, wines from around the world and Dartmouth’s new Nine Locks brew on tap. Reservations and walk-ins are welcome.
