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!
Best place to eat in Saint John!!
Innovative menu! We all had something different on the menu and we all loved our dishes. Cocktails are fabulous as well. Service is top notch.
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!
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.
Fantastic Lunch Special - Cod, pesto, delicately fried potatoes.
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!
Excellent service and food. Love this restaurant and staff
Had our family in Saturday night for dinner.. from the burger to the scallops, it was bang on!! Service was exceptional. The ECB is definitely a top destination in Saint John for dining! Consistently awesome!
