I had seen a few good reviews and it was our last night in the area. So we thought we would give it…read morea try as we were looking for something not fried. We came pretty early and we're seated quickly and served promptly as well. We tried the scratched in rum and Coke, which seemed a bit high priced for what it was ($16). We also had a strawberry lemonade, which was delicious. We started with the bacon wrapped scallops, which were pretty good but rather small. For our main courses, we tried the cod, fried fish dinner and the lobster boil which came with a nice salad. Both were a good flavor, but we did find ourselves hungry again in about an hour. This could just be the seafood effect too- as sometimes it's not as filling and we had hiked a lot that day. We also never had our waters refilled, or a jug left for us (like many places had done) but the servers were very kind and friendly. Ambiance wise, the blinds being drawn make the view feel blocked but it is bright and has a floral theme. The tables are close together and as we were leaving it was getting busier so may get to know your fellow diners in some spots. They also had a nice cafe downstairs which had a nice selection of drinks, coffees included and to go sandwiches etc. Overall we liked this place but the cost for leaving hungry is what brought the total overall score down for us.

One of the mainstays of Rocky Harbour, Java Jack's is a local favourite. We had dined here many…read moreyears ago on our last trip to Gros Morne and returned to find a healthy dose of nostalgia along with still fantastic food. We had a reservation for dinner and there was a bit of a line outside (the landing area by the entrance is quite small) of other diners who also have reservations. We were led in soon enough and brought to our table on the upstairs level. We thoroughly enjoyed the homey decor which hasn't changed since our last visit and brought back fond memories. Our server was a young man about to start his freshman year at university this fall. His attitude and work ethic really shows the best of Newfoundland. The food was solid overall. We enjoyed the bacon wrapped scallops, seafood chowder and especially the moose pie. If you just order one thing, GET THE MOOSE PIE! It's hearty with perfectly flakey pie shell and a blast of flavour inside. One disappointment was that they removed their cod tongue dish from their menu. As a uniquely Newfoundland dish, I hope they can bring it back for the next time we return to the island. Overall a wonderful experience and we would definitely come back the next time we visit!

The black spruce restaurant is located on the second floor of the Neddie harbour inn. It has very…read morenice inner renovations with lots of paintings hanging on the wall. 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.

Well-prepared, local food and amazing views. I ordered one of the specials, a fresh-caught fried…read morefish with creamy polenta, local kale, and an amazing raspberry-leek reduction. The meal was delicious, service was good, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the sun set over the mountains as I ate dinner - there's a great wall of windows that makes for a stunning setting.
