A must visit location in St. John’s. Absolutely beautiful view overlooking downtown St. John’s and the ocean, it’s incredible. The food is also quite nice with a variety of options.

Went for the afternoon tea a few weeks ago with my nursing classmates. We have gone here for lunch many times and really enjoyed it. The afternoon tea was 34 dollars each. There were 6 of us. We got 2 -3 tiered trays. So one for 3 people.The majority of the contents was sweets and cookies, there were actually two crustinies with egg salad on each tray, split between three people. That was the only sandwich type on the whole tray. I have been to and heard of many afternoon teas. They have all consisted of alot of sandwiches and a few sweets. We were all very disappointed with the afternoon. I think we also expected some music o piano playing as well considering it was so close to xmas. Let's just say it was our first and last afternoon tea here.

Wow! A gorgeous restaurant with amazing views. It’s been awhile since we were there, so i can’t remember what we had… but the whole experience was great. Highly recommend.

Very tasty, great view. I was expecting a typical museum cafe but it's way more.

With a gorgeous view of the harbour had a delicious helping of their Seafood Chowder! Most hearty! What an awesome pairing!
The staff was most professional and curtious! So pristine! I felt I was in paradise! Thank you! Jackie!

I was looking for signs of Red Oak and it looks like they call themselves The Rooms now. The seafood stew was good but I would put a little less spice as it tasted only pepper towards the end. I liked the cod the most. The portion looked small at first but was actually decent as the bowl was a tall one - hope there were spoons that go with the kind of bowls.

A very popular spot on weekends, this was a great lunch spot for my group after being in the museum for a few hours. We all had breakfast options, which are available all day on weekends, and it was well worth it! The food service was in good time and all of the food was fantastic. From french toast to eggs to hash browns there wasn't a bad word said about anything had. The servers were friendly and visited regularly to ensure everything was good. With other tables they even helped people to move closer to the view when tables became free if they asked for it. This was definitely a popular lunch spot, worth it as a trip on its own, or a great stop if you are in the museum all day.

Just had coffee and tea while seeing the art gallery and museum displays at The Rooms. The coffee and tea were nothing special and reasonably priced. The view of the Harbour was worth the price. They have very strict times in terms of what is served. Dinner does not start until at least 5:30pm, so if you want to eat actual meals there, make sure you find out when the appropriate times are.
3 course late lunch was delicious and we enjoyed a perfect harbour view. Pictured: Pavlova, cod bake, duck confit with wild foraged mushrooms
It was a celebration for my Mum's 81st birthday and it was handy that the facility has wheelchairs available (that you can't pre-book but they are free)
Wheelchair accessibility: Free wheelchairs but cannot pre-book. You can phone to see if any are available.

After walking 25 minutes uphill from Downtown, my husband and I sat down and took in the beautiful views of Red Oak's dining room. A server brought water and menus. That was the last bit of service we were provided. We waited at least ten minutes with our menus closed as five servers leaned against the counters having a chat. I even made eye contact and nodded at a couple of them. They went right back to their conversation. We walked out. I wasn't prepared to be ignored any longer in an empty restaurant serving $21 french toast. Go to the Nook & Cannery on Harvey instead!

Great view (when the fog hasn't rolled in), and excellent food. You can't make reservations, so there may be a wait when it's busy -- and it can get busy, especially around lunch time! Nice to go here and then check out the exhibitions at The Rooms. I usually get the Warm Root Cellar Salad or the Fish Cakes -- highly recommend. They have Tea at times, too, with multiple desserts for sharing. Great staff as well -- helpful and excellent.
