    Although we had a reservation they were not prepared for us. It seems they had a lot of walk ins which was great for them but kind of left us hanging. My partner enjoyed his meal however my cod was very dry and bland. Disappointed as other times we had good experiences.

    disappointed in that first choice in white was not available and they had run out of soup. while tasty, the grilled octopus wasn't prepared the way i expected. While not connected to dining, the young lady who looked after my valet parking was excellent which helped make the overall experience very good

    We had just been seated and asked to move seats to make way for an elderly person in another party. We were with a small child and were then seated at a high table. Very unprofessional staff. Situation was not handled correctly and no fault seen by wait staff.

    I had heard great things, I was left wanting. The atmosphere and service were outstanding the food “eh”, I expected much better. If I was to go in search of appetizers/ bar fare I would give it another shot. For more specialty dining I will go elsewhere.

    Restaurant is clean. Service was excellent. The food was out of this world. Heads up to potential diners that the music is a little louder than you'd expect at a nice restaruant, but definitely not so loud that you can't have a conversation.

    Love the atmosphere of this restaurant. The food was good although I now know I am not a fan of mussels in marinara sauce. The whole vibe of the jag hotel and the music theme is awesome.

    I had an exceptional dining experience at this lovely restaurant! The service was top-notch, and I would like to extend a big thank you to Skye for being an absolute professional and delight. The menu was outstanding, and every dish we tried was simply delicious. The cod tongues, mussels, moose taquitos, tuna poke, grilled squid, kimchi smash burger, frites, and flourless chocolate torte were all expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a delightful atmosphere.

    Four of us went for an evening meal to the Exile restaurant in the Jag Hotel, St. John's. It was a very positive experience. The ambience was very good and the food was excellent. Our server, Jennifer, was extremely helpful and professional.
