I had an amazing experience at Saint John's Tavern Oyster House! The food was flavourful and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in. Each dish had a unique, delicious twist, and it was clear they use high-quality ingredients. I highly recommend trying the Tuna Tartare– it was a standout! I’ll definitely be returning soon.

Food was terrific, ordered the lobster roll and some oysters. Girlfriend got the lobster Pasta. Kirnin (our server probably spelling that wrong, sorry) was a beauty! Was there on a Monday which was $10 Martini night. Highly reccomend!

Saint John’s Tavern delivers a memorable blend of rustic charm, quality food, and a lively atmosphere that makes it stand out among the local dining spots.

The tavern’s ambiance strikes the perfect balance between classic and contemporary—brick interior, dim lighting, and cozy booths create an inviting, relaxed vibe. It’s a place that feels just right for a chill intimate dinner or a lively happy hour. The staff is attentive and friendly, offering knowledgeable recommendations from the diverse menu and drink list.

One standout is their tuna tartare, ideal for a duo looking to sample a variety of flavors. And don’t miss their cocktails—the bartenders here clearly know their craft, serving up both timeless favourites and creative concoctions unique to Saint John’s.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone looking to enjoy a laid-back yet refined pub setting.

We went there for the Halloween party, and the decorations were really impressive and well done! We didn’t stay all night since we had another party to attend, but we spent about an hour enjoying the atmosphere. The place itself was beautiful, and the service was great. Our ticket included a free drink, though the options were limited to a canned drink or shots—we chose a can but weren’t big fans of the choices. Still, overall, it was a fun experience!

Had the pleasure of enjoying a dinner and drinks at saint John’s tavern this past weekend with some friends, absolutely amazing food, the Mac n cheese was bomb, drinks were a great price as well and good cocktails! I can’t wait to go back again. Would definitely recommend for a casual night out or even if you’re tryna have a late night with your friends. Atmosphere is cool on both floors, downstairs was like a full on party!

I have been here a few times and today we came for 10$ mussel, truffle fries and martini night. The service was amazing, food was great. The ambience of the place was such a great vibe with good music and a nice hangout spot with friends. One of our favourite spots and will definitely be back!!
