    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.

    4 of us dinned last night but we were a little disappointed first with our meals and with my order of an exile ceser. After I had a mouth full of the ceaser I called the waiter and explain that the ceaser had to much wine and it did taste good at all. The waiter asked me if I want another drink and I order just a regular ceaser. When the drink come to the table the waiter stated that I was still going to be charged for the first ceaser this is after we spent $500 for a dinner for 4 I find this to be a very disappointing costumer service practice. This was for sure our last time at the Exile.

    Exile is in my top 3 restaurants for St. John’s. I’ve been dining there 2-5 times a year since their doors opened. It doesn’t matter if I have 1 or 25 guests - everybody always leaves happy with 0 complaints, which is rare! Exile - I love you, you never disappoint! I love the rock & roll vibe; hands down the most comfortable chairs (great if you suffer from back pain); service is always fast, friendly and professional; food is consistent and delicious; I never have to ask for a drink or refill; and you always accommodate my special requests or modifications - you are amazing! You ROCK!

    Great evening out. Food was good in portions but lacking in overall flavour, except for my meal that had five spice which I love. However there was way to much. More then half of the pork belly was “pot dry” on the bottom. Maybe stick to main menu when ordering

    Tried Exile for the first time last night - a Monday evening. It was without doubt the best dining experience I have had in St John’s, and absolutely up there with my experiences at 1-3 Michelin star restaurants around the world. The food was incredible and our server Jennifer was truly outstanding. Thank you for my favourite ever date night.
