Bar Kismet was a small family owned restaurant and bar serving fresh seafood and handmade pastas.  Founded by Annie Brace-Lavoie and partner Jenner Cormier about 7 years ago, it is also known for its inventive cocktail menu.  Inside you’ll find small concrete tables set with chairs by the windows to the street or with bench seating along one wall.  A U-shaped bar with stools takes up the center of the space and plants are everywhere.  Otherwise there are framed mirrors on the walls, a wide plank wood floor and music in the background for the continuous casual crowd decending on the place.  Reservations are a must if you want a table and service can be slow to get started with so many coming and going, but once you get started it moves right along.  Plates are in varying sizes and are meant to be shared which means you can try lots of things and that’s best here cause there are lots of great options on the menu and you won’t want to miss any of them.  Hope you’ll stop by when you’re in Nova Scotia.
