Everything I had at the St John's Fish Exchange was excellent. It was my first time having lobster…read moreand I appreciated how there were already parts that were cracked to help me out. The server was very pleasant. She was funny and the food came at a good pace. The lobster took longer (15-20 minutes); however, she set expectations up properly and suggested an appetizer for the meantime. The one complaint I had was that we had a reservation but still had to wait an extra 10 minutes after arriving on time for our table to be ready. Perhaps the restaurant was a bit overbooked.

The service was excellent (we moved inside and switched tables because we underestimated the cold evening), and our waitress whipped out a laundry stain remover stick when she noticed us furiously dabbing at a shirt stain. Helpful and accommodating with dietary restrictions. Quite cosy ambience, keeping the experience relaxed with slightly more upmarket food.

Estehetically the cakes would have benefited from a little more browning but it is tricky to not dry them out and they were not dry. The Miso COD was thick, flaky and divine! Served with vegetables prepared al dente and small potatoes. Presented in an appetizing fashion and thoroughly enjoyable, a winner !

We both got the Candied Apple cocktail and it was the best cocktail of our trip. For an appetizer we got the Brie; it was pricey but so delicious and looked pretty. Woulda like just a couple more crostinis but either way, we still enjoyed it very much. For our mains I ordered the Cajun Chicken Fettuccini and my fiancée got the Blackened Salmon and we both absolutely loved our meals, everything was cooked and presented to perfection. Highly recommend stopping by!

Extremely Disappointed with Taste of Class Catering…read more We hired Taste of Class for our wedding reception, expecting the professionalism and service we were promised during the planning process. Sadly, what we experienced fell far short of those expectations. Several key issues left both us and our guests disappointed: Food Shortages: Two full tables (16 guests) were left with only rice and a few pieces of chicken. No salad, no lasagna, hardly any vegetables. The Caesar salad wasn't replenished until 25 minutes after everyone had already finished eating. This was not because guests "over-served themselves," but because the buffet was poorly monitored--there was no staff at the serving line, and it took one of our guests knocking on the kitchen door to get more food brought out. Unprofessional Staff Conduct: Guests saw staff helping themselves to food before all guests had been served. Regardless of the explanation given later, the optics were terrible and made it seem like the guests weren't the priority. Coffee & Tea Missing: Several guests--including the groom--went to get coffee before tables were cleared and found none available, despite the promise it would be the last thing removed. Head Table Cleared Too Early: Our wine and glassware were removed without asking, while we were away briefly greeting guests. This felt dismissive and rushed. Basic Standards Missed: Paper napkins at a formal wedding reception--an oversight that should never have happened. After the wedding, we reached out multiple times via email to raise these concerns. Management at Taste of Class never once replied to us directly. The only communication we received came from someone who seemed more interested in defending the company's actions than in taking responsibility or offering solutions. This complete lack of direct response from management only added to our frustration and disappointment. On one of the most important days of our lives, the service, food management, and follow-up were all well below what was promised. We did have some positive moments--one server in particular checked in on us and was kind--but overall, we cannot recommend Taste of Class and would urge other couples to consider their options carefully.

Went there for the first time last night based off the the reviews here. Menu is excellent and…read morevaried. Seating time for the reservation time was exact (no waiting). Quality of the food served was excellent and expected for the price. The atmosphere was quite nice, was apparent that a lot of thought went into the atmosphere detail. For a sit-down evening dining experience it was perfect. This is not the kind of place you go for a fast dining experience, but for an enjoyable "evening out". With appetizers, soup, and main courses the total time in dining was approximately 3 hours. Perfectly reasonable in my estimation for this kind of establishment. The service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. Our server was also quite accommodating. There were so many great looking appetizers that we each wanted to try 2 different ones, and they accommodated by allowing half orders. I'd also inquired if the lobster could be shelled and topped onto the Ribeye steak, this was also no problem. Our 2 favorite appetizers were the stir fried squid (I've tried squid done in many ways, this was a very unique and wonderful flavor!), and the Hot & Sticky Mango Shrimp. The Broiled Goat cheese was also VERY good. The blackened beef had a really unique and delicious flavor, but if i was to be very picky was a bit tough textured. Following appetizers, we had a spicy crab chowder (soup), and my companion had the Warm Spinach Salad. The Spicy crab chowder was probably the only thing that came close to a disappointment, the crab was overcooked and grainy, but the flavor was still quite good. The Salad was the hands down winner. I'd never heard of a Spinach salad that included sauteed chicken livers, but it was VERY good (I'd place it on my highly recommended menu items). Main course I had the 16oz Ribeye, med rare with a Fresh steamed lobster, de-shelled on top. Great cut, great flavor, and perfectly prepared. Really appreciated that they didn't over-season the way some steak houses tend to do.. to the point where you lose the flavor of the steak, but enough to really compliment the steaks flavor. My dining companion had the 16 oz ribeye, with the cognac peppercorn sauce. The steak was equally well prepared, and the sauce was a great compliment to the steak. If i was also to be really picky, the drink menu is in the process of being revamped, and I had to go through several selections before I found one they still had available.. but this is REALLY nitpicking to be completely objective. Will definitely be added to a regular and special occasion list of the good restaurants in town.

They had the audacity to offer me to sit at the bar to have dinner just because I was alone and the line was long so they could offer a table to a larger party. NIT NICE AT ALL!!! Needs to learn class and etiquette.
