Perfect beer pairings for all of the menu options, my wife had a Quidi Vidi Bakeapple sour (I opted for a cherry beer from the same Newfoundland brewery) to accompany her lobster feast while my son had a pop with a terrific burger. Shortly after we ordered, one of the servers ran down the few flights of stairs to the docks and then remerged grinning from ear-to-ear with our unbelievably fresh lobsters in a bucket! While on the topic of staff, they strike the perfect balance in attentiveness (present but not pestering) and are knowledgeable and friendly. The ambiance was somewhat casual but would certainly suit a more formal evening of dining as well. The price is a little steep but, considering the quality and portion size of their servings, it is quite understandable. Take it from this gob-smacked prairie boy, if you're in this area, this is a GREAT bet for supper.

A not so fancy dinner place located harborside in Bona Vista Newfoundland. We stopped in for…read moredinner and enjoyed a table next to the window with beautiful harbor views. We were seated promptly and enjoyed some refreshing cocktails while deciding on dinner options. Our server directed us to the Cod Gratin which is a traditional Newfoundland dish. We each ordered Cod Gratin and a Caesar Salad to share. This was a perfect combination for dinner. The Cod Gratin was amazing. Tasty pieces of fish in every single bite with a cheese and sauce that I would call coastal comfort food. So delicious. We didn't have any room for dessert but definitely enjoyed our dinner choices tonight. Skippers is a nice comfortable place for dinner and they have live music certain days of the week.

We stopped here based on an online review and returned for a second time during our stay…read more This is a small shop that is half seating and the other half the kitchen and an ice cream shop. There are about 6-8 tables and one waitress. It is dated but has a charm to it - I liked it others may not. The first time we stopped here I tried the Cod Tongues and fries (first time ever) They were interesting (in a good way) having never had them before, but I can tell you they were moist inside with a thin, light outer batter - the batter is really good. I would have these again in the future. The fries are hand cut and also very good, I like soft fries over crispy these were between soft and crispy - the other in our party enjoyed them. I also tried for the first time the Crush flavours of Pineapple and also Birch Beer. These are just cans of pop not something prepared. The second time I returned I had a two piece pan fried fish and chips and requested one piece be cod and the other be salmon - they said they could make that happen - delicious. This was a simple shop with simple decorations and simple food done right. Pan fried fish had a light tempura style batter, good sized, very firm pieces of fish. This time I added a piece of pheasantberry pie. Everything was a 5/5 stars - The fish, the fries, the pie were all tasty and a really good value. I think if we had been there a longer period we would probably have returned for a third time :)

Road trip to Carbonear today!…read more The Stone Jug is perfectly situated on Water Street overlooking ... the beautiful water. The Stone Jug has so much history and character. Windows and doors wide open you feel the fresh air off the water. Couldn't ask for a more perfect way to spend the afternoon or evening with friends or family over a drink +/- food. Despite the pub fare focused menu I threw caution to the wind and ordered the vegetarian pizza and it didn't disappoint. Good size for 2 people, light, airy, yet chewy crust (?wood fire oven) and full of flavour. Paired with a Mill Street Organic Lager and you've got a great Saturday evening meal. Our waitress was fantastic! Super warm and friendly. Made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. I give The Stone Jug 4/5 stars only because they do not have many "vegetarian options" on their menu (fish & chips, salad, and veg pizza) AND the building is not easily accessible to folks with mobility challenges; there is no wheelchair ramp.
