Delicious food with a beautiful view of the water.
This place is terrific! Was given a great table upstairs, right near the windows. Had the Newfoundlander. The cod was cooked perfectly, and seasoned well. Didn't care for the cod tongues; used my tartar sauce for them. Glad I ordered the French country salad, as there were few vegetables on the plate. The mini potatoes that I got as a side were delicious. My only disappointment was with the flourless chocolate torte. It came with a drizzle of caramel on the top, which didn't work with the chocolate. The raspberry swirl, that was on the plate, was the perfect foil for the torte. If they'd put that on the torte, instead of the caramel, I would have liked it a lot more. The service was top notch and very accommodating.
We family and I had a great experience here. I ordered the meal that comes with cod and wings and the cod was INCREDIBLY good. The wings were also great - crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The view from here is really wonderful. Our experience with service was also really really good!! My wife and her mother really enjoyed their meals too: my wife ordered the seafood platter which she really enjoyed and my mother in law ordered the steak and lobster thermidor. We will be back!
Visited on a Tuesday evening with a reservation for 7pm. We had requested 7:15pm but it was not available.When we arrived just before 7 there were 3 or 4 other parties waiting to be seated and we were advised that they slightly behind on Reservation.We waited 30 minutes during which time all other parties and several new arrivals were seated. At this point we were asked for the name on reservation they said oh, "your still here". The whole time the 4 of us had been standing within 3 feet of the desk.A few minutes later we were taken to our table which thank fully was an excellent location on the 2 level overlooking the Harbour.This was not our 1st visit to SJFE and as in the past the food was very good. Our appetizers were Scallops, Salt Fish Cake Fritters, Mussels and Bruschetta and all were delicious.For mains we had Stuff Chicken Breast, fish Tacos & the Salmon and rice special all of which were very good. In the case of the Chicken and the salmon both had a sauce that was a bit spicier then expected and while not "hot" might not be a great choice for anyone who does not like spicy food at all.For desert we has the daily special "wild berry crumble" basically a wild berry sauce with a thin cake top covered in whipped cream. The Desert was ok. The sauce seemed to me mostly Strawberries and left the impression they had used frozen not fresh. Personally I think it would have been much better served warm.The service at the table was great, the view was amazing and the food was good so all in all a great night out with family.For 4 adults including 3 drinks the meal came to $317.00 before tip.One of benefits of this restaurant is the fact that there is parking within the building.
Hubby and I recently moved to Newfoundland and this was the first restaurant that we visited. Its going to be hard for anyone else to outshine the food at Fish Exchange! Both of our meals were cooked perfectly and we definitely had to order dessert. Our waiter was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu. You definitely need to stop here!
I came here for my girlfriend's birthday. I had been here a few times before and it was only okay, definitely not worth the price, but I figured it was a nice restaurant and had a good selection, was I ever wrong there. She ordered a chef's bowl with Salmon and I got fish and chips. The salmon in her bowl wasn't cooked all the way through and was still raw and cold in the center. And my fish was so soggy that it was actually repulsive. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because our waitress was friendly.
Very nice atmosphere and nicely decorated establishment. Friendly and well-paced staff. We had the soup of the day to start (with complimentary warm bread with butter). The Newfoundlander was a great way to sample a bunch of different items such as the cod’s tongue, brewis, pan fried cod, salted cod cake etc. Their tacos were each uniquely flavoured. Great presentation overall. The reason for 3 stars is because all but the cod’s tongue and fries from the Newfoundlander were served at room temp… not sure if that’s done on purpose or if food got cold before being served.
Enjoyed the lobster, all kind of seafoods nice place to unwind and people are great friendly amazing place .
