Our group of six were promptly greeted and seated. Our drinks order arrived quickly (but tea and…read morecoffee were not available choices, oddly). Five different entrees were ordered so that we could broadly sample the menu. I ordered the Chicken Mushroom Alfredo Penne and was presented with a generous portion that held thin slices of chicken, fresh sautéed mushrooms, and a creamy Alfredo sauce that was a treat to the taste buds. My dessert choice was Gulab Jamun cheesecake, a delightful fusion of traditional Indian flavors with the beloved North American classic cheesecake, garnished with a little bit of fruity gulab jamun syrup and crushed pistachios. All of this tasty goodness cost under $40, plus taxes and tip. My table mates were pleased with their choices, too. One had the Pineapple Honey Burger and she was delighted with her stack of burger and sweet pineapple rounds drizzled in a house bbq sauce, topped by a signature in-house bun. Two others had classic burgers which satisfied their hearty appetites. Another in our group had Jambalaya Fettuccine and enjoyed it so much that the leftovers went home to be enjoyed again. Finally, our lightest eater order the Scallops Aioli as her main, but it got served as an appetizer so the timing request did not get relayed to the kitchen; also, the scallops were over seared, so the texture and the presentation suffered. This was the only dish that did not draw rave reviews. Strums had its soft opening only this weekend, so our group was among the first in Corner Brook to sample its menu. The food is good, the prices are quite reasonable, the servers are attentive, and the hiccups with the tea and coffee will soon be sorted, no doubt. My husband and I are already planning a date night in the very near future. June 2, 2024.

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!
