Arbour Restaurant & Lounge

Excellent service, great view, good food.

Limited seating. Had to wait a bit for food because they were understaffed; and forgot to bring us side plates after we requested. Overall a great tasting food, good service and good atmosphere.

Had a great first experience at Arbour Restaurant & Lounge with my friends. The food was genuinely delicious and well-prepared, and the overall vibe of the place was really enjoyable.

The staff stood out as well—very polite, welcoming, and helpful from start to finish, which made the visit even better. I tried the cod sandwich, which was absolutely amazing, and my friends went for the hummus board, which they really enjoyed too.

Overall, it’s a solid spot with great food and great service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in St. John’s and looking for a good meal with a relaxed atmosphere. 😋

We dined at Arbor Restaurant last night and had an amazing experience. We spent the day hiking the East Coast Trail and even though we felt under dressed, felt very welcomed by our waitress Kayte. We began our outing with a few cold draught beers and then ordered the Korean Steak Nachos and Cod Taco's (recommend by our waitress). This was some of the best food we have ever had this pleasure of ordering and would highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. This place is an 11 out of 10!!

The care of the cook for Celiacs is unmatched! Staff was super nice. Fantastic location

Very unassuming from the outside but the inside has a nice modern look. Most of the menu uses local ingredients and things made from scratch.

The mozza sticks are some of the best I've ever had and they actually use real Mozzarella instead of cheese sticks. There is a bit of sweetness from the tomato sauce and hot honey drizzle as well. Highly recommend them as an appetizer.

For entries we ordered burger sliders (which had handmade buns) and the fried chicken burger. They make the pickles themselves which is cool and the fried chicken burger was a quintessential example of a chicken burger. Their house sauce was also interesting and delicious.

The sliders had a ton of flavour in the beef alone but the bacon jam adds a lot of depth.

For dessert we had the Touton (a traditional newfoundland type of dough) doughnuts which were phenomenal, a bit of a crunch on the outside but so airy and fluffy on the inside. They reminded me of a churro in doughnut form with caramel drizzle and a dollap of ice cream.

The owner just so happened to be there and she came over to ask about our meals and recommended some other good local businesses.

Overall an absolute must visit in the area, they're only a 5 minute drive from the boat tours as well.

What a total delight! The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Very creative menu and everything was delicious! The service was fast and friendly. Wished we lived nearby as this would become a regular spot.

Service was a bit slow even though we were only 2 tables. But the food was great.
Beware the Caesar salad has bacon on it so not vegetarian.

Arbour is a fantastic restaurant With some of the sweetest staff. Had their burger on Friday and it blew me away great flavour great Presentation and a big serving of fresh cut home fries. I’m not sure what buddy is getting on with the three star on this burger. Maybe McDonald’s is more his speed. Great job gang! Delicious!

For being the restaurant that came up with the Irish Loop Burger Battle, their burger was really not good. The service was great, and the other food seemed just fine. However the burger was soggy and tasted overwhelmingly of mushrooms.

Atmosphere was very relaxed. Almost everything was less than $20 per dish and came out with more food than expected. Wonton nachos, burger battle burger, and the fries were all unique and delicious. The chef should be proud of the menu here. This will be in our regular rotation of restaurants
