The Merchant Tavern

While in Gros Morne a lady suggested your restaurant with high quality food and services we reserved a table and were not disappointed and have since suggested your restaurant to others while we are in Newfoundland The food and services were excellent

It was too fast, not a usual observation for a restaurant. We were in and out in 45 minutes. One of us had an Old Fashioned whisky drink that cost $28 (add tax and tip onto that). That was quite a surprise, a warning beforehand would have been a nice courtesy. The food was excellent, waiter was efficient.

Absolutely amazing food and beautiful - Those however facing kitchen would have preferred not to have kitchen on stage before dinner ... i on the other hand had a wonderful view of the goings on at the bar ...

We were visiting from "away" and we enjoyed every moment we had at the restaurant. They were generous enough to reserve us seats at the bar, which typically they do not do. Service,food, and atmosphere was a beautiful bouquet of a dining experience. Thank you to both the front and back of house teams!!!

The Merchant Tavern does not disappoint! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Andrew, our server, was fun and efficient, with just a hint of Newfoundland sass (which we loved). Amazing cocktails, spectacular food, with fresh and local ingredients in a great environment. Can't wait till our next visit from.Alberta!

I come for work and always come here for a night. Took my wife who came for vacation and she loved it. Great food and ambiance

The energy was very good and our waitress was spot on. Our waitress was vey knowledgeable and attentive. Both appetizers were delicious (swordfish an mussels). Friend's entre was also delicious and wish I had chosen the cod dish rather than the Southern Fried Cornish hen. I would never normally eat regular southern fried chicken, although this one had captured a wonderful flavour, but it's the deep fried crust texture I did not care for and I was hoping for a spin on the fried chicken. It was accompanied with only coleslaw (which was very nice), yet, I expected another vegetable, like mash or frites. A roasted Cornish hen would have went over perfect. Overall experience was very good again. I would give it a 4.4 out of 5.

This was by far the best restaurant we have ever eaten at. The waitress was amazing and super helpful with allergy options, the service was perfectly timed between appetizers and the main meal, and the options were great.

Good food but overpriced

We ordered the five course chefs tasting menu. The food was excellent and a good portion size for a tasting menu. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I ate at the bar this evening and everything was spectacular, food, service and ambience...I had the scallop crudo and crab which I highly recommend.

People sitting at the bar were rowdy. Other areas of the restaurant were empty but still way too loud. The host told me I couldn’t stay in the restaurant for more than 2 hours. She had no people skills. The server somewhat tried to improve my initial experience as a customer but the damage was already done as I felt rushed due to the way the situation was handled. I didn’t enjoy what was supposed to be a time for me to unwind. The food was okay but way too pricey for what you get. I had high expectations, but definitely will never set foot in that restaurant ever again. Totally overrated! Manager seemed indifferent to my complaint. Overall, extremely disappointed.

Expected food to be better prepared and served. Came very highly recommended by multiple sources. Server was not well trained.

Our server Emma was excellent. The food and drinks were amazing and loved the ambiance. Built in an old bank and designed really well. The soap in the bathroom was amazing. Smelled so good that I went and purchased the next day. It was made by a local company. East coast glow. Overall great evening! Thank you Emma for a beautiful evening!

The cod was absolutely delicious, with secret sauce that brought out all the freshness.
