Visiting
Saint
John
on
a
staycation,
we
chose
this
restaurant
as
it
was
close
to
our
hotel
and
looked
like
it
was
popular
given
the
number
of
people
inside.
Covid
protocols
were
in
place
and
plexiglass
screens
separated
the
tables.
Our
server
was
quite
friendly
and
explained
all
the
specials.
I
started
with
a
cocktail
call
“Don’t
Ride
the
Elephant”
...
basically
a
mojito
with
lemongrass.
It
was
good
but
rather
expensive
like
most
of
the
alcohol
here.
That
said,
beer
was
on
special
that
night
and
there
was
a
good
selection.
We
both
started
with
a
soup.
Lemongrass
seems
to
be
an
ingredient
in
most
dishes
and
the
soup
was
no
different.
It
was
rather
disappointing
however
to
find
a
plastic
spoon.
C’mon,
not
something
you
would
expect
here.
My
spouse
opted
for
a
curry
dish
but
it
was
rather
watery
and
not
what
she
expected.
I
opted
for
“bar
snacks”
option.
Basically
it
was
a
list
of
8-10
small
plates,
not
unlike
Spanish
tapas.
Each
dish
was
a
fixed
price
-
$8
per
plate
I
think.
This
was
a
really
nice
option
as
you
had
a
variety
of
different
tastes.
Some
were
a
little
cold
suggesting
they
might
have
sat
a
while
before
being
served.
We
ordered
a
wine
which
cost
$52.
It
was
interesting
to
see
how
much
restaurants
gouge
you
on
alcohol.
The
wine
cost
~$25
in
the
liquor
store.
We
had
the
same
wine
at
each
place
we
stayed
that
week.
At
the
Italian
by
Night
it
was
$42
which
was
surprisingly
nice
given
the
quality
of
that
restaurant.
$62
at
the
Algonquin
Inn
in
St.
Andrews
and
a
whopping
$80
at
the
Delta
Fredericton...
almost
400%
markup
which
was
unnecessary.
All
in
all,
a
nice
meal
despite
some
small
criticisms.
I
would
return.
Please
give
a
thumbs
up
if
you
found
this
useful.
