“Tonight I went out to dinner for my moms birthday and to celebrate the launch of her first business. Our sever Matt made what is always an amazing experience at Olivers into an OUTSTANDING one. Not only did he have a fun personality but he also helped sing happy birthday to my mom, which made her night 100%. Would recommend checking out Oliver’s for your next special night out, especially with Matt as your server. Plus the desserts are mouth watering.“

“This is a pleasant restaurant if you want something to eat when you're visiting the museum.

There wasn't a big selection of items on the menu but what they served was good. I had the seafood chowder which was really good. My wife had the bratwurst which she found a bit too gamey for her but I thought it was fine.

If you can get a table near the windows you'll be rewarded with some lovely views down over St. John's.“

“Visited for the first time tonight. Great food, drinks, and service! Will be returning 😊“

“Very cute spot that feels plucked right out of the 1990s. Glad to see that this kinda place can still survive in today’s climate even if only by nostalgia. The service was friendly and the food was solid for what it was, classic pub food with a bit of a Tex-Mex twist. Not a Newfoundlander by birth so can speak on this without being influenced by childhood memories, the place isn’t exactly fine dining but it’s more than solid for what it is!“

“We are so glad that we spent 4 weeks with a wonderful, friendly, professional and cheerful team. Many people have been working there for many years and we understand why. After all, the owners treat their employees like family, care and always ask if everything is okay with them. Thank you guys so much for everything!!! See you soon!!!“

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

“A good friend had suggested we eat at The Merchant and have the “Carte Blanche” = essentially we are in the hands of the chefs. Four courses. Sounds simple enough. But, each course came with two or three items. We started with a pea shoot salad with candied cranberries, crispy onions, candied dried lemon in a cranberry vinaigrette, plus smoked arctic char with cream cheese and mayonnaise and dill served with crispy buttered croutons to spread the fish onto and crab bites served on baguette. Washed down with sparkling wine.
Next course: pan fried crispy halibut with an apple beurre blanc and sautéed onion quarters plus squid ink risotto with calamari, shrimp and mussels…so good with a lovely clean Chablis
Next course: 20 day aged ribeye steak with a red wine reduction jus, served with creamy mashed with chives and buttery & garlicky broccolini…deliciously paired with a chewy Chianti.
Last course: pistachio tiramisu and a caramelized crumble with a chocolate gelato topped with a toasted marshmallow cap served with a Sauternes and a 2009 vintage port
An exceptional meal, deftly created and served well with aplomb“

“Had a couple nights at the Embassy while in St.John’s. Great spot!! Staff was awesome and friendly, while somewhat “saucy” (Joe and Tracy)! 😂 Locals were fun and made me feel like part of the group (Ally, Chris & Jeff, who talks too much)!! Local talent was awesome and can definitely sing and play to keep everyone entertained!! I will be back!!“

“I've been to Jack Astor's a bunch of times for their wings and chicken tenders. They're probably the best in the city. The service is always great at this location but on our last visit, Kayla went out of her way on a few menu requests without hesitation. We were there for drinks and food and spent a few hours at the restaurant. Her service was friend, prompt and fun. We'll be back.“
