This historic building (built in 1817) housed five generations of the Merritt family after Thomas…read moreMerritt IV (a British loyalist during the Revolutionary War) left the US for Nova Scotia. I enjoyed the tour (approx 20 min, $5 CD/USD) with the knowledgeable, friendly docent who took us through two stories of this well-preserved house (with a glimpse of the attic). The items in the house were explained by the docent, including the adjustable rope beds, the bed warmers, the kitchen tools and the portraits of the family. I left with a good impression of what life was like for the upper class in the early 1800's. Excellent!

This old Georgian style house was built in the early 1800s by David Daniel, son of Loyalist Thomas…read moreMerritt, who emigrated to Saint John from Rye, NY. The Merritt House is the oldest unchanged building in the city and now the Loyalist House, a museum depicting the way things were at this house almost 200 years ago. Guided tours (10-15 minutes) are given of two levels of this house and a peek of the attic. There are steep stairs in the house and up to the house, so a tour of this house is not wheelchair friendly. On Wednesdays through this summer, the Mayor's Tea is held in the Loyalist House. We happened to be touring on Wednesday and we're invited to tea with the museum staff. We enjoyed hot tea, fruit cake, cherry tarts, and zucchini bread over conversation with the staff and other guests. This was a great way to meet other people. Our Guidewas very informative touring the main level and upstairs level of the house. The Guide donned garb from the 1800s, but I don't think they made black Adidas shoes back then, hehe!! He did a good job answering all of our questions and sort of resembled the young man in the painting in the dining room. Overall we enjoyed this quick tour of the house.

We were really looking forward to lunch and fresh seafood…read more We arrived just as they were opening and were sat right away. We waited about 5 minutes before our server came by. She took our drink order and someone in our group ordered a Moosehead lager, they were out of it! We then placed our food order and the top item they sell is lobster bisque...they were out of it. Being on a ship that was leaving in 90 minutes, we were in a bit of a rush. Close to 25 minutes later our food came out. I ordered the Kraken (their version of a lobster roll) it consisted of a few pieces of lobster, a few small shrimp, and some mushed-up fish. It was not good at all. Then the fries that came with it were cold. Mushy and cold. This place has poor-quality food and is a tourist trap. Very expensive for sub par food.

I ordered the Scoglio again because it was so memorable the first time, and it was just as amazing. The seafood was perfectly cooked, the pasta was fresh, and the flavors were outstanding.

Italian by Night continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Saint John. We can't wait to come back!

He was very attentive, we never had to look for him he was always there. A real customer service professional! The rest of the staff was also very helpful above and beyond our expectations.

We loved it and it will be on our list of "go to places" in Saint John.

It is a small and cozy restaurant, but it manages to not feel too crowded. I had a simple cheeseburger while my wife had her first taste of poutine. Both were terrific! My wife loved the salty, rich, and comforting flavor of the poutine. My burger was tender and juicy; perfectly cooked all the way through while managing to avoid any unnecessary crisp on the exterior. We overheard a conversation between the waiter and another couple of guests who indicated that they were regulars, and it is easy to see why customers would come back for more. We will definitely be stopping by on our way through if we find ourselves nearby again!
