  The service and food were spectacular, hence the reason this place is one of the top restaruants in Newfoundland. Yes the price might be a little high for some, but well worth it. Not a place to come to if you're looking for a burger or wings.

  I went here on a visit to Newfoundland from Toronto. I chose this place because the word on the street was that this restaurant won awards and was one of the best in the world. I can tell you it isn't even one of the best in Canada. Our hostess showed no genuine care and was not gracious or inviting. She did not make my guests feel comfortable but seemed more concerned with the show of what an upscale restaurant this was. The food was ok. I had crab pasta and the texture was good but the garlic in it was burnt and this burnt flavour was overpowering. Like my main course, this pasta was under seasoned. Our hostess for all her airs was not able to assist with wine selection at all, and seemed uninterested in giving much description of the wines or the food. For the mains course I had the duck. It was well prepared but very mediocre overall and comparable to much more afordable restaurants. Overall my recommendation is to give this one a pass. You can find similar or better quality food in a more welcoming environment for a much better price.

  Had a wonderful dining experience here on vacation. Dining room is spacious, well-lit, and beautifully decorated. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive--not at all stiff/stuffy the way waitstaff can be at other similar fine dining establishments. Tasting menu was reasonably-priced (for the setting), delicious, and filling. Staff did a good job of explaining each of the dishes. My expectations were extremely high going in, and my expectations were fully met!

  Place used to be great - but last two visits were very sub-par. Certainly over priced for the experience. It used to be a destination restaurant, now not even a close resemblance of itself. Sous Chef cooking at 5 star pricing - never again. The wine selection was terrible, poor Canadian only sweet and sparkling wines served with their pairing.Too bad they lost their edge..... the owner needs to visit a great french restaurant in Montreal to remind himself what terrific food tastes like, the NL touches just don't make up for poor preparation.
