The breakfast buffet was the most expansive I had in Newfoundland and Labrador, highlighted by salmon and capers plus a cheese board. The dinner options should be wide enough for the palates of everyone. A friend was able to get a good gluten free meal. My quarter pound lobster sandwich was really good, the waitress assuring me the delectable home fries in a little metal basket had no calories….

One odd aspect was sitting next to a roaring fire while a small radio played loud music in the corner. The Old Fashioned cocktail was mostly club soda with a shot of bourbon, disappointing. The small plates we tried were not impressive and can easily be surpassed in quality at other downtown restaurants for the same price. The staff was friendly, but the service did not meet the standards of a high-end establishment.

Had the eggs benedict instead of the (very comprehensive) breakfast buffet. Really well prepared and a generous serving of smoked salmon. read more Had the eggs benedict instead of the (very comprehensive) breakfast buffet. Really well prepared and a generous serving of smoked salmon.

The menu may not be extensive, but it offered some delicious options, including expensive steak and lobster which we didn't opt for that night. I chose the fish tacos, while my husband had the pulled brisket sandwich. Both dishes were well-prepared and enjoyable. The twice cooked fries that came with the pulled brisket were particularly tasty. The fish in my taco was perfectly deep-fried, with a crispy exterior and tender, almost sweet flavor. While there may be restaurants in St. John's with more unique character and a more distinct menu, dining here is definitely not a bad choice. I would definitely consider returning in the future.
