Their valentines day menu was amazing 🤤🤤🤤

Excellent foods and service. Highly recommend

I ate here during the ATU Canada Conference in July 2022 and was blown away (just like the other 9 people I invited). The food was amazing and some of the best I've ever tried; especially the brisket. The servers were attentive & friendly; the ambience was also great. Everyone was talking about that spectacular meal for the rest of the conference and everything else we tried fell short. If I ever find myself near St John again this will be my first stop.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of our city! Our table couldn’t get enough of their wicked Lemon Pie drink and the flavours in the food were unbelievable. Two had the duck and the rest had a beef special: both meals presented beautifully and were cooked to perfection. Our server Rob was friendly, just the right amount of attentive and the definition of service with a smile. A must visit if from Saint John or visiting the city!

I've eaten at East Coast Bistro a number of times and each time was better than the last! Every aspect of the restaurant from the food, to the service is excellent. The menu is well balanced with a good rotation of new and staple dishes with also very appealing specials. The staff, both from and back and front of house are absolutely fantastic. Proteins are beautifully cooked and all the dishes have an excellent balance of flavours. The front of house staff is also very attentive, kind, and truly go above and beyond. I wouldn't be hard pressed to say that East Coast Bistro is one of, if not, the best restaurant in Saint John!

First time we were there was last night! We all agreed it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! The food was beyond delicious, the drinks, the service, the whole atmosphere was incredible! If you want an upscale dining experience in Saint John,look no further...

Some of the best food we've had since being in Canada. The service was wonderful, made me lemonade off menu. The food was fantastic the brisket was like meat candy. Not touristy at all.

We ate there recently and were very disappointed. The food was overpriced, portions were minimal at best and lacking flavor. I had the back-bacon with scallops with my husband having the pasta dish. Both portions were very small considering the price. Pasta noodles are inexpensive - a decent size portion should be expected. We both left the restaurant hungry - that should never be the case. The waitress was lovely and the service was prompt. Overall poor experience though.

Excellent food. We shared the mushroom toast (awesome), my wife loved the pistachio dukkah crusted salmon and I took the hot honey roasted duck breast (perfectly cooked). The service was also very good!

If you want Michelin star quality food at a reasonable price, this is the place to try. I had the fried chicken with risotto, and it was amazing. I will definitely be going again and trying something new.

My husband and I celebrated my birthday here last month and we had a great dinner. We ordered mussels, lamb and pasta. All the dishes were excellent! The sticky toffee dessert was delicious. This was our third time here through the years when we visit Saint John, NB.

The best pasta I've ever had. Faith, my waitress, did an amazing job at pairing the perfect wine with my main and my dessert. She also recommended the dessert, which did not disappoint. I don't even like dessert and this had me drooling. Prompt and professional service. Nice atmosphere. I can't say enough great things about this place. Can't wait to go back. I literally could have cried my French onion pasta was THAT good. Thank you!

For a perfect night out as a couple this was the right choice. We lucked out getting at 8oclock reservation (especially as people who eat fairly late) was worried we would have to be eating dinner at an ungodly. Anyways the food was was absolutely fantastic. I'll post some pictures of our appetizer and mains. Literally cant say a single bad thing about this spot. 10/10 go for it if you are trying to decide on a new place to try! Service was wonderful and friendly, yeah just go.

Stopped in last minute and was lucky to get a table. Absolutely delicious food. Top notch presentation. Ordered the specials, and it was a great decision. Steak and halibut cooked perfectly!

“Home” from Montreal and had an incredible meal. Highly recommend! Ambiance, service, presentation and an innovative menu are all beautifully executed. I think I’m in a sticky toffee pudding coma which is never a bad thing.

East Coast Bistro was the perfect place. Food was delicious,the staff interacted with our son who is 21 months which he loved and, the atmosphere was relaxing.

11/10 for East Coast Bistro. I had the rack of lamb special which was quite literally the best piece if lamb I have ever had. The sides perfectly balanced the lamb and created a very balanced dish! The wife had the Scallops and Casarecce Pasta and the scallops were cooked to perfection. We went for our anniversary dinner and will definitely be back. It is a great date night location for anyone looking for that perfect intimite location!

Just spectacular food.. Always worth seeing what they have on the menu!

Food was tasty. Service was great. Portions were large and filling. The scallops were a very good appetizer. Lots of great flavors. Done really well. The Brisket & Frittes was flavorful and a big plate of food. The salmon was good. And the drinks were great as well. Definitely would try again.

I ordered a tiramisu for my wife’s birthday because it is her favourite. The cake these folks made for us was not only beautiful and reasonably priced, it was delicious! This is coming from a guy who thinks tiramisu is a garbage cake. I even had a second slice! 10/10 would buy again!

Had an amazing dinner at this cute restaurant, ordered duck, and oysters, definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Great food ...nice environment a little pricey but sometimes you have to pay a bit more for unique tasty food.

Ask anyone in Saint John where to eat and the first place they come up with is East Coast Bistro. Chef/Owners Tim Muehlerbauer and Kim Steele have created a destination restaurant that every foodie in town eats at when they want a great meal. The menu is hyper local and seasonal, the staff are friendly and prompt, and best of all the food is superb. During my stay in Saint John my birthday came and went. Where did I book a reservation for dinner? East Coast Bistro of course, and I wasn’t disappointed. The meal started with a half dozen Oysters, then a Purple Cabbage and Peanut Salad, followed by my main course of Steak & Frites. Perfection. Dinner ended with a surprise Birthday cake made by the Chefs. It was mine, all mine!

East coast Bistro is on the more expensive side however it's definitely worth it. Their fries are house made and taste amazing! I'd also recommend the bête noir if you love chocolatey desserts. Pictured below is the Catch of the Day (which happened to be scallops,) and the Bête Noir.

Fantastic Lunch Special - Cod, pesto, delicately fried potatoes.

Unfortunately had a negative experience here: my partner and I came for dinner today with reservations. She has dietary restrictions (can't eat onions or garlic) and we spoke with our waiter about this; he confirmed that the risotto in the scallop dish had garlic, but they would be able to make the seared scallops with the salad instead. We were pretty disappointed when her dish came with garlic topping the scallops. Unfortunately, this isn't even the first time this happened, as she had come here on a separate occasion a few months prior and received a dish with the onions left on (after the waiter confirmed it could be removed). In both situations the waiters were kind and accommodating when ordering, but this just didn't translate to the food received.
