    Bernard Stanley Gastropub - PB&J burger with kettle chips $22

    We thoroughly enjoyed this quaint Gastropub on an unassuming corner of Duckworth street. We…read morehappened to arrive right when they opened at 11am, and we were able to select from their brunch or lunch menu. Hubby and I both ordered from their lunch menu. I had my eye on the PB&J burger that I had seen on Yelp, as peanut butter is my favorite thing ever! This burger did not disappoint. While the combo sounds strange, the flavors were well-balanced with the brie cheese, caramelized onions and bacon. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium and the hamburger bun was soft. I chose the kettle chips for my side, and they tasted house made. Very delicious! The only thing I didn't like about this burger was the price tag = $22. Hubby had the seafood chowder for $17 and it was enough for a full meal. He said the chowder was very flavorful and full of seafood. He was in heaven! We both ordered a Quidi Vidi 1892 amber ale on draft. They only had 7 beers on tap and I wished that they had a medium or dark beer, but this area doesn't seem to be big on that. They do have Guinness in a can, if that's your thing. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively fast. The booths were comfy and the pub reminded me of a cozy neighborhood bar. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    Terre is a wonderful fine dining restaurant in the Alt Hotel…read more We really had a lovely meal here. Also many thanks to the staff for accommodating our request for a slightly different chair which made such a difference to our comfort. They really do some innovative things with both the food and cocktails here. It really was a great experience. Definitely a special occasion spot! We probably overdid it on the amount of dishes, but it was seafood season, so we could not help ourselves. We shared everything. The lobster was a particular fave, as was the crab cake. But the halibut and mussel salad were also great. Modern vibe. If you end up in the middle of the restaurant you may end up looking into the kitchen. Wonderful dining experience. Would have rated 4.5 stars if I could.

    I didn't realize this was a hotel restaurant when I booked the reservation, and I'm glad for it…read morebecause this place was so much better than I expected. We went for the "let the kitchen cook for you" option and had an utterly memorable meal. My favorites were the snow crab (pre-cut impeccably for easy eating), razor clams, lobster salad, NF welks (small sea snails), and the pavlova dessert paired with tart rhubarb and sorbet instead of the usual whipped cream (plus a few AMAZING perfectly ripe strawberries for our off-menu option). But the quail was also perfectly seasoned and the beef tongue was literally melt-in-your-mouth... seriously, I've now listed most of the meal, it was all really delicious. For drinks, I had a mocktail with surprising complexity and then followed up with an alcoholic "something nice" -- you can be as vague or specific as you like and the bar will make you something interesting. I got a delicious floral drink made with lilac syrup that was exactly the vibe I asked for.

    Is this the best Mexican you ever had? No.. Not even in the city. Its basically the mexican version…read moreof pub food mostly. The Appetizer menu is solid, they have some nice variation in their dinner menu and a few non mexican items for the picky folks. I think if I had 2 major complaints they would be that 1) the food is actually surprisingly tasteless. Not Spicy, which was fine.. but was actually kinda bland.. and 2) When we got our meals they had obviously been left under a warmer for too long and were overheated. The tortillas on my fish tacos were crispy instead of soft and the rice had dried out on the surface. The Burrito my date ordered looked great but you get no sour cream or anything with the meal so it ends up as a dry meal with overcooked looking beef. My Fish Tacos were beautiful to look at, little slices of Jalapeno under the fish gave you a big surprise but the cole slaw that was on the fish tastes like absolutely nothing... Just cabbage. Not impressed. Overall.. I wouldn't go back.. But only because there are other, and better options for Mexican in St John's. The food wasn't bad.. it was just boring. One major plus.. the Service was fantastic. Friendly, quick, and efficient. Oh and they brew their own ice tea. Its not that Nestea stuff most places have. So if you are expecting sweet tea you will get a surprise at your first sip.

    I looked for my profile on Yelp and it seemed to missing a lot of reviews I have no idea why but…read morehere is my review. To begin, I love Mexican food. It's usually very simple and very delicious. I have been to many cantinas in my travels. The atmosphere appeared to be pleasant and we were greeted when we arrived. That is where it went down hill!! We sat down and ordered a beverage. A soda and a water. The water had a strange taste. Most likely just tap water, that was Luke warm and had a strange taste. The soda was a soda! Looked though the full menu and browsed the lunch menu that was offered. The menu for one was not clear as one that you might expect from a Mexican Restaurant. We wanted a simple lunch, tacos . It seemed to lack a good definition of what they were, so I asked for clarification. Chicken .. Ok. Beef? Ground beef. No steak tacos, carne Asada .. What, el pastor? What? Veggie and a chilli taco. Confusion was setting in. Soft tacos... No!! Hard shell, store bought. I looked for an alternate lunch on the menu. More confusion! The menu was really lacking anything Mexican or should I say authentic Mexican or even Tex Mex. I looked around to make sure that I walked into the correct door. We verified and we were here. (Burrito for $20.00 wow that must be an amazing Burrito. Tacos that were not tacos for an inflated price) I wanted something for lunch that was Authentic. I asked for input from our server, with little guidance except for a feeble attempt for an upsell to their dinner menu, I just wanted lunch. I had that feeling of wanting to run and not look back, but I had to give it a try. We tried the tacos and another dish that looked to have a carne asada vibe. Not so much .The tacos were displayed horrible with ground beef, no salsa's or hot sauce as condiments or extras on the side as to garnish.... These are tacos correct??!! The other dish was very small but it did have a Carne Asada meat... Sort of but with raisins. Confused again. The refried beans were very salty and the rice very bland. This place is not Tex mex or Mexican by any means. Should change the name to something else and not mislead the public. I felt a little embarrassed. In name only is this place Mexican. I would never recommend or try and explain my opinion of this place ever again. Just say No! esto no es un restaurante mexicano. no es auténtico para decir lo menos. Taco Bell es más auténtico. ¡no está bien!
