    Arabic coffee
    Leah S.

    This was the first place we ate at while we were in St John. We found ourselves driving through on our way to Halifax, and it was the most conveniently located and interesting restaurant we could find in the area. We parked on the street and wandered in. When we arrived, we were greeted heartily by the server, and seated by a window at the front. Other than us, there was only one other table occupied despite it being peak lunchtime and there being multiple cruise ships docked at the time in the harbor. We looked over the menu, which surprised us with its items, many of which are not even remotely close to Egyptian food, despite being named "Taste of Egypt." Regardless, we hoped for the best and flagged down the server to place our order. Hubby started with an Arabic coffee and ordered the tandoori kebab wrap, and I opted for the vegetarian plate with an extra side of the yogurt sauce and pita bread. Our food came out pretty fast, but a lot slower than I was expecting, given that we were the only other table occupied, and they had already been served their food. My dish was very standard, but nothing too exciting to report on any stand-out items. Hubby liked his wrap but did mention that his lentil soup which came with it was pretty bland and he didn't enjoy it. The biggest downside was trying to get the server in order for us to pay our bill and depart. He was very involved with the only other table, and it was extremely challenging to flag him down and get him to bring us our bill. It took us at least 20 minutes to finally succeed in this endeavor. Service was less than ideal, food was good but not great, ambiance was warm, and prices were decent for the quantity of food. There is ample street and lot parking, super clean bathrooms, and tons of tables inside for larger parties. Overall, I imagine this is a great place if you have a connection to the server and speak Arabic, but if not, it takes a substantial effort to engage and get out of here.

    Service was excellent. We were greeted immediately by the owner who seemed genuinely pleased to see us she was so warm and welcoming, almost felt like we were at her house. She chatted with us during the meal and it was very pleasant. I ordered the Turkish coffee which was poured in a ceremonial way it was flavorful, hot sweet and strong. Paula explained the menu to us and described the different meals in great detail. We got a vegetarian sampler which was delicious, as mentioned in another review the falafel was denser than what I have had before but still good. we loved the way the rice was presented the Beef kofta was excellent. Excellent Moussaka. We finished off the meal chatting with the owner and eating the light and scrumptious baklava.

    In our visit to Saint John, I was looking for a sit in halal restaurant. This location came up, to our surprise the restaurant was great. Parking at night was free on the street, the decor of the restaurant was great... it gave us an Egyptian feel. The quality and quantity of the dishes were great. The meats were seasoned and cooked very well, the rice came is the shape of a pyramid (very cool). The have a lot of beautiful decoration pieces for sell. The staff was patient and friendly. For my Muslim folks - The restaurant serves halal food, the owner is a converted Muslim and opened this restaurant.

    Vivaldi's - Nice dining room.

    Vivaldi's

    It was the "shoulder season" so a quiet night for the restaurant. Hummus appetizer was delicious…read more Chicken Parmesan was tasty. Italian sausage pasta dish was delicious. The waitress was awesome. A good place to go for yummy Italian/Mediterranean food.

    Vivaldi's is awesome!…read more Loved the interior of this restaurant as it looks so classy! Don't let those gorgeous looks fool you though, as Vivaldi's is down to earth and a casual place to bring family and friends. They do have Italian food, and while influential composer Antonio Vivaldi was Italian, the overarching theme here is Lebanese-Italian fusion. My friend ordered a shrimp rice dish with veggies and I ordered the seafood platter which came with roasted potatoes. A free app of delicious home made bread along with oil and vinegar to swipe was provided. Everything was fantastic! The seafood tasted fresh and everything came to our table hot and tasty. It's a great spot to take selfies and family photos so remember to bring your camera and ask the server to snap a few for you. Our service was stellar and we could not have had a better experience overall. To top things off, we ordered dessert, German chocolate cake which was comped for us because "it was our first time at Vivaldi's". Now that's a good way to win friends and influence people! The bill for two of us was only $70! Although we didn't indulge in drinks, that still is an amazing price for an enjoyable night out with incredible service. Cheers to Vivaldi's!
