We ordered their specials of the day, a potato and bacon soup and the Pan Seared NL Cod. Our friend also ordered a plate of muscles. We got served some bread with butter while we waited for our meals. 1. I loved the potato bacon soup. Forgot to take a picture of it but it was a decent amount. 2. The plate of cod seemed like a small serving but there was quite a bit in there. I will post a picture of this. 3. I'm not a muscles person but my friend and my husband liked it a lot. I forgot to take a picture of this also but there were lots of muscles on that plate. The prices were on the high side but it was expected because a place that requires a reservation normally is very fancy looking and this place definitely was! We felt VERY underdressed in our shorts, t-shirts and hiking shoes. The staff were really friendly and if I came back to this place, I'd definitely revisit this restaurant!

You can see mountain view from one side of the restaurant and nice view of the bay on the other side. I would suggest to make reservations coz it's super packed during dinner hours. The servers are busy throughout the meal and it's hard to get them. We tried varieties of the food on the menu and some special items not included in the menu. The appetizers are tasty but main is a bit plain to my taste. - Bread and butter: butter is so soft with nice scent of herbs, bread is also tasty. We found that the bread in Newfoundland is generally more sour than average. - Root vegetable salad: Very creative dish. Varieties of veggie include squash and carrot are cut into nice thin pieces. Burnt almond and wild rice were the highlight of the dish. - Mushroom on bread ($22, not on the menu): I really enjoyed the creamy flavour of the mushroom. - Cumen crusted lamb leg with couscous: it was not bad. The meat itself doesn't have much flavour but it goes really well with the sweet sauce. - Cod with sun dried tomatoes: The fish is fresh but overcooked. - Halibut and scallop ($52, not on the menu): Again, everything is fresh but the fish is overcooked and flavoureless. In general, the restaurant has nice dining environment with average service and amazing appetizer dishes. My favourite dish here was the bread and the mushroom on toast.

We had dinner at the Old Loft during our two days in Bonne Bay. I believe this place has been…read morearound for quite some time. The first floor is a really interesting gift shop that has just about everything you could imagine, including ice cream. The restaurant is upstairs, and they do have a small area for outdoor dining. We ate inside at a table by the windows overlooking the bay. The whole interior of this very old building is wood, including seats made out of old barrels. What a great touch! The wait staff was on top of everything, too. We completely underestimated the size of the entrees, as both of us ordered the pan-fried halibut. We both got a monster-size piece of fresh halibut. Both came with a mountain of steamed carrots, some broccoli, and we opted for baked potatoes. Everything here was great, and they did have a fairly good drink menu. We had a couple of the Quidi Vidi Iceberg beers in the cool blue bottles. If you're looking for a good meal to get your money's worth, Old Loft is a great choice.

Homemade meals at their yummiest! My husband and I really enjoyed our meal at the Old Loft…read more The Old Loft is located in Woody's Point, a small town surrounded by Gros Morne National Park, in Newfoundland. We were camping in Norris Point and decided to hike the Tablelands on the other side of Bonne Bay. Driving there took us past Woody Point, so we stopped for lunch. ( You can also take a water taxi from Norris Point to Woody Point and back.) The Old Loft Restaurant is the rope loft of an old restored fishing shed. It's a charming, rustic spot. The dining area is half of the loft, and there are locally made handcrafts on display in the other half. Downstairs, there are more souvenirs and items made by local craftspeople, as well as baked goods for sale. My only two complaints about the restaurant are this: one, there are only windows on the ends, so it's a bit on the dark side (the craft areas are bright). Two, the chairs, made out of barrels, are cute but not overly comfortable. When we walked in, there was a mix of other tourists and locals. Seeing locals is usually a good sign! On to the food. We both had hot turkey sandwiches with fries. I also had dressing and gravy on my fries, a Newfoundland favourite. We split a basket of onion rings. The onion rings were hot, light, crispy, and huge! They were like doughnuts in size, and delicious. Wish I had some now... The fries were hand-cut and cooked just right. The turkey sandwich was open-faced; the turkey piled on top of a thick, delicious slice of homemade bread. Yum! The turkey was topped with gravy and traditional Newfoundland dressing. I loved it. My husband loved his, too, except for the dressing. The dressing was loose breadcrumbs, mixed with melted butter, and flavoured with onion and summer savoury. Not what we're used to, and he doesn't like surprises. Portions are large so no way we could manage dessert! Too bad, I'm sure it was good. Finally, my beverage of choice when eating out is iced tea. For me, a litmus test of a good, casual restaurant is whether or not they make their own iced tea, or just fob off a commercial can or fountain drink on me. Seriously, it's not hard to make iced tea! At minimum, you can brew strong tea, pour it over ice in a glass, and serve the glass with sugar & lemon wedge on the side. It's sooo much better than pre-made. Really. A lot better. A lot. I'm happy to report that the Old Loft not only makes their own, but it was the best I've had dining out: slightly sweet and lemony tart. Yum. Our waitress, the only one working, was friendly, attentive, and happy to join me in a little good-natured ribbing directed at my husband. I may never get back to Newfoundland, but if you go, and you're in the area, I recommend you try the Old Loft.

It's a small roadside diner that must cater mostly to locals, since everyone there seemed to know each other. It serves diner standards and some traditional fare, has friendly service, and offers very reasonable prices. I had a two egg breakfast, $7.95! Two perfectly fried eggs, hash browns, thick white bread and a nicely fried slab of bologna. My entire group enjoyed their meals, service was prompt and very friendly, and the food was excellent. It doesn't look like much from the highway, or from inside for that matter, but it's clean and offers local artistry for sale on its walls. It's a bit in the middle of nowhere but a great way to break up a few hours of highway driving.

Worst experience of my life!! Will not return…read more I went inside to get a drink and was informed that you can't order a drink unless you order food. New rule, weird but no biggie I came to have a plate of steamed mussels as well. Only to be told they took them off the menu. So I asked what's on your menu now that is gluten free as I have a pretty bad allergy. The young girl tells me there's nothing on the menu that's gluten free and went into the back of house to speak with someone about this dilemma as I would still like to have a drink while I wait for my friends even tho I can't eat anything they sell but she quickly returned with a firm. "No, we can't sell you just a drink, we are a restaurant and there has to be a food sale on the receipt will any drinks" I was blown away, I have never felt such prejudice in my life. This BAR & GRILL is not within walking distance of anywhere else that I could have gotten food or drink and I don't think they should be refusing service to anyone especially because their menu is lacking and can not accommodate to common allergies. So shoes, no shirt, no allergies.
