“Today was my first visit with my son. I was so impressed by the huge space, amazing gluten free options and super friendly staff! We will be back 😊😊“

“Best fish and chips in the city ! Onion rings and mozza sticks are delicious too !!! Wonderful service !“

“Paolo, the owner, Is the best ever. The best customer service, best energy, best attention, best everything. The food is amazing, the environment, the conversations with Paolo. I have been here multiple times and will continue doing so. Best food establishment in the world“

“The restaurant is vegetarian but most dishes are vegan, and the vegan options are clearly labelled. The Pad Thai was mediocre. It was too sweet and not very flavourful otherwise. There was a meagre amount of tofu and vegetables. Maybe I just didn’t order the right dish - their burritos looked delicious. Regardless, the meal was filling and I was glad to find vegan food in St John’s! Cute exterior decor and cozy ambiance.“

“The Chipotle Cheddar bowl is absolutely delicious! my friend recommended the promotion which ended today $4.99 fabulous price! even without the promo the prices are really good and not pricy to add extra toppings. Very pleased with the portions, definitely much better than the bowls at Quesada! will definitely be back to try other items :)“

“Best fish n' chips I've had in on the Avalon Peninsula, honestly. Fish was unbelievably fresh, thick chunks of beautiful flaky cod, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Lady behind the counter was a sweetheart too!“

“Just had a fish and chips and I must say it was the best fish we ever ate ..“

“My girlfriend and I had the best experience. From the "Joe King" hostess when arriving without reservation, (sorry did not get her name), to our server Grace, it was the best time. The Xmas steak special was divine. Cooked to perfection, and the seafood tasted out of this world. Thanks again...we will be back...p.s. the interaction with trivia and pick the next song was added incentive. MERRY CHRISTMAS...Turd Ferguson.“

“Went to Moxies with friends this evening, the food was amazing!! And our server, Dana E was fabulous!!! She really went above and beyond! Thank you for making our night so much fun!“

“**5 Stars - A Hidden Gem!**

I had the pleasure of trying the breakfast fish cakes with over-easy eggs, fried potatoes with bacon and onions, and toast—and wow, I am absolutely blown away. The restaurant was surprisingly empty, which made no sense considering how fantastic the food was. This was hands-down the best breakfast I’ve had in the downtown core.

The fried potatoes were the star of the show. I know it’s a simple dish, but they were absolutely perfect—crispy on the outside, tender and fully cooked on the inside. I couldn’t stop eating them! The fish cakes were delicious as well, and the over-easy eggs were cooked to perfection.

Now, the toast… I don’t know what kind of magic is happening back in the kitchen, but it was something special. The toast was like the gold at the end of my breakfast rainbow. Honestly, it was so good, I’m convinced there must be a leprechaun working their toast-making magic in the back!

This place is a hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be back. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favour and stop by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Our server Craig was super friendly, patient and efficient. It was very busy but our wait times for our app and meals was impressive.
I really appreciated Craig not making me endure the singing of Happy Birthday to get my bday treat. They've made it easy to reserve a table online, now how do I reserve Craig for our next meal there?!“

“Excellent food and customer service! We have never been disappointed.“

“Cannot recommend enough! Absolutely delicious every time . The deluxe bruschetta and fettuccine Alfredo is absolutely amazing. The service is top notch and the drinks are delicious. Highly recommend! Best Italian in the province!“

“Fantastic food made the way you want. All fresh ingredients.“

“The fresh ramen meat veggies and broth are amazing. I got the chicken misu with an egg added. It was the best ramen I’ve ever had! Must try.“

“Superb brunch with 5 friends today in your inviting ambiance. We each ordered something different and server, Bill, was friendly and efficient. Love this local spot.“

“Great place! Definitely a destination.“

“Our first time trying oysters. The server and the gentleman from the kitchen were amazingly helpful in explaining what to expect, how they are prepared and served, all the different options and varieties, and how to enjoy the experience the most. This was both when we first arrived, when we were deciding what to order, and when they were delivered to the table. The oysters were delicious, as were our main courses. It's a small open restaurant, so it did tend to get louder as it filled up. The staff and the food were incredible. Our visit was the beginning of a great evening. Cheers!“

“I was there last night for supper thinking they still had the buffet but when we got there they didn't but we decided to stay anyway and I am so glad we did. Hands down the BEST Chinese food I have every had. The service was awesome and friendly. I would recommend you try Full House Restaurant. Thank you to Full House Restaurant staff for a wonderful meal and a great experience“

“Love the menu, food, people and atmosphere. My husband and I enjoyed everything we had. Took home extra just to share. While they were super busy tonight, the servers were very friendly and professional. Excited for our next visit!!“

“Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner last night! We could see how busy the staff were with non stop take outs but they were still very attentive to our table. Food was as great as always!“

“Great atmosphere, great service, delicious food and drinks. Tonight was my first time but I will certainly be back. Possibly my new favourite restaurant.“

“Pizza Empire is definitely a Pizza place to look into. Been ordering from them since 2013. Great staff and the Delivery drivers are absolutely amazing. Kudos to the Staff for making darn good Pizza and shout out to the Drivers! You guys are fast and always incredibly humble! Keep it up you guys!!“

“Amazing food, staff was friendly and quick! Definitely recommend! ❤️“

“After a long day of exploring Bell Island we stopped in here for some food, and the effects of heat exhaustion came over me. The staff gave me lots of water, including some ice in a bag and frequently asked my family how I was doing! Thanks for all the understanding and kindness that evening!“

“Grotto is a gem! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and our server was great. The hummus was the best I’ve ever had, and the Chicken Karaage was fantastic. The sushi looked incredible too—can’t wait to go back and try that next!“

“Went there for a quick fish and chips takeout. It was my second time having fish and chips in Newfoundland and it was pretty good. The portions were good and the fries were very nice. But the best part was being served by Ariel, she was super sweet and personable and made my time there very pleasant. She needs to get a raise.“

“We decided to have our wedding here and it was the best decision we could have made. Everything from , the venue, the food , the staff was absolutely amazing. Everyone that attended had an absolute blast. It was truly a night to remember. They truly helped us create everlasting memories of our special day. Thank you all so much!“

“great food and great staff!“

“Good food made right. However sometimes using the Dash app for pick-up they don't always see the order especially if it's a slow day and they're in the back room. I had to wait an additional 20 minutes for my teriyaki bowl. It was worth the wait as it was delicious and well prepared.“

“Their breakfast is fantastic. Easily one the best I’ve ever had! I will be back.“

“The Pad Thai from Thai Express is my favorite take out!! Always hot, fresh, prepared to order and delish. They have never made a mistake with my order. Today I ordered from their app because they weren't on Skip and service was great. Highly recommend.“

“We celebrated a 25th birthday last week and we were absolutely delighted with everything! Erica our server was PHENOMENAL! We had a large party of 15 and she went above and beyond for us all! Would love to have her again next time!

Kid-friendliness: Awesome atmosphere for children“

“I'm going to say it...this has to be one of the most underrated restaurants in the area.The prices are a little on the expensive side, but the portion sizes are pretty big, so if you don't finish your meal, you have leftovers!The food is really, really good here. I got Kung Pow Noodles, they were just the right level of spicy, bursting with flavour, and cooked to perfection.The service is also really good, the staff are friendly and helpful!I definitely recommend stopping here for a delicious supper or lunch!“

“Great spot for Asian fusion style in St. John's. Nice strong cocktails. Reasonable prices. What more do you want?“

“Noodle Nami is a delightful culinary spot! From the moment you step inside, though less spacious the inviting atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a fantastic meal. The menu offers a fantastic array of noodle dishes, fusion choices, each bursting with flavor and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I especially loved the spicy noodle soup—they were perfectly balanced and had just the right kick! One downside is it was a bit salty. The California roll was soaked with oil 😞. Other than that, the staff was friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a noodle aficionado or just looking for a tasty meal, Noodle Nami is a must-visit to try more of their delicious offerings!“

“yes but i never eat there yet.“

“Love this! Healthy choices with no compromise on flavour! I will be back“

“The service was great, especially for a very busy night at the restaurant. The children's food ended up being very spicy. We were told that it could be because it's made in the same fryer as the cactus chips. It was too spicy for both children.“

“Our overall experience at Magnum and Stein was good. The food was awesome! You can't beat the duck nachos. Not sure where they source their mussels but they are huge! Everyone at our table had either lamb shank or rack of lamb. Both entrees were done perfectly. Excellent portion size. The server was friendly and very nice. The restaurant wasn't overly busy but the servicer was slow to clear the table of dishes, top up water and to ensure the table wasn't without wine. The dining room was not overly loud. The decor is starting to show age. We were seated at a raised table which was not overly comfortable. The overall value is good. I've been to Magnum and Stein many times. The food quality is always reliable and really good. We will be back.“

“Arrived late into St. John’s and most restaurants were closed. Hotel front desk recommended No Name pizza. We ordered the Thursday special for pick up. Medium cheese pizza plus 2 toppings, garlic fingers and 1lb wings. We ordered ham and mushrooms for toppings. Pizza was really good, not greasy. Loved the thin crust. Garlic fingers was more delicious compared to the pizza because it had garlic and butter and cheese ?. Wings were alittle dry but we asked for the sauce on the side so the skin would not be soggy.Delivery charges depended on distance from their store. I decided to pick it up.“
