Tried to eat at fish market for dinner earlier this week but the wait was for too long. Returned for lunch today and am glad I did. Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I had the halibut topped with osso bucco and it was delicious. Also had the vegetable curry soup (soup of the day) which was amazing. Servings are not large and prices are a bit steep but it you want to splurge it is a great meal.

I travel to St John's Newfoundland every few months on business and everybody has been telling me to make sure I try this great restaurant out as when I got there the atmosphere was awesome and the restaurant looked amazing and an awesome place to eat some great food however the overall customer service experience was very poor and truly not a place if you are looking to receive absolutely outstanding guest service as I'm sure the food is awesome but I sat at the bar tonight waiting for almost 7 minutes for someone to even acknowledge me and finally had to walk away and give my money to another competitor that deserved the business.
Truly businesses need to realize that there is competition out there and maybe not right now but in the future great service will rule as there is a lot of awesome food in this great City and not the experience I was looking for after all the recommendations of this place to try as I will ensure I tell everybody about this experience and truly not to waste their hard earned money on the overall opportunities in guest service this evening and spend it elsewhere.
I eat at over a hundred restaurants a year and can choose any restaurant I want to eat at and this was a choice I was looking forward to but based on the overall service experience I will never come back nor will I refer anybody else as I'm sure the keg as even though it's a national chain would have consistency in their service most of all for customers.
Not what I was expecting from a high-class restaurant.

I tried the bar menu and the selection was decent and pricing very acceptable for the value of what you get. Food is delicious and portions are enough for how much one can it. The happy hour is one of the best in the city and the selection of beer is perfect. However, the service is a hit or miss, we sometimes get a super friendly and helpful waitress/waiter and other times someone that really doesn't want to be there which makes it hard to enjoy the evening.

Service started out great, the staff were friendly and welcoming, but after that the dinner went downhill. Once we ordered it took about an hour and a half to get out main courses. What was a little odd was that out salads and soups came out at exactly the same time as our mains. The food itself was good but frankly disappointing for the price. Most of the seafood was over priced and had a stark lack of flavour and seasoning. The lobster was the most disappointing, tasting as if it had been bathed in ammonia, we ended up not eating most of it. Would not go back again, very disappointed especially at the $30+ minimum for most dishes.

The music was much too loud. Many people complained but nothing seemed to get done. The soup and fish and chips were very good. The service staff were excellent but, unfortunately, could not do anything about the loud music because the manager was away and they did not have access to turning it down. We will not go back. There are a lot of good fish and chip places in St. John's where the music is kept at a reasonable volume.
