Review John Brown Richmond Street Grille - Charlottetown

The service was great and the setting nice. My dinner companions enjoyed their meals for the most part, so for that there is the three star rating. But the presentation and thrown-together look of my seared scallops gave me pause. While the flavour of the scallops was decent the entire plate was drowned in the sauce and it soon became too rich to enjoy. For a $37 plate I expect better. A delicate dish such as this should not be overpowered by the dressing. I nearly missed the final scallop on the plate as it was interred beneath a mound of bacon. And what was that underneath it all? I deduced that it must be the garlic mashed potatoes but could not detect the flavour of them at that point. You can do better.

First time here and it was great! We’re from out of province, and it’s been very hard to find a place to sit and have a beer with our pup, and this place was our saving grace! Friendly service, live music on Saturday and delicious local beers and house made fries. Definitely a great way to spend an afternoon. Will definitely be back!

Love this restaurant. In the summer we love the street patio, refreshing drinks and live local music. The food is always great too. I love the fish tacos. In the winter we Love the outdoor pod.... servers were awesome as was the food and cleansing craft ales!

I went here as a tourist and it's the first time I tipped more than 15% at a restaurant. It was because the service was incredibly fast. We waited only about five minutes for our meal and the food was excellent. Our server was kind and attentive as well. I also enjoyed the NA craft beer, not many places do that. Thank you

I absolutely loved the Big Andy Burger. It was superb and made my tummy very happy. Just the right amount of spice and savory from that jalapeno aioli. My friend go the fish and chips which were also very nice, flakey, and cooked perfectly - the tartar sauce was good and flavorful. The beer selection was very good! I was able to sample a few to see what I liked best and choose from those. The Gahan blueberry wheat beer was especially yummy. The beer could have been colder though, as I found it was a bit warmer when it was served but still appropriately cool; this was more of a personal preference. Service was great too! Fairly normal wait time for a busy place, and the staff were very quick to help you out with a request. I'd certainly recommend this place to friends. One last thing - the live music was a nice touch and they were great performances.

We stumbled on to this establishment walking around Charlottetown as we heard the music. The atmosphere is great, live music and great drinks. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we went back for lunch the next day. We managed to score a patio seat this time. My husband said the wings are fantastic. They are really busy so you may wait a little longer for your drinks and food but worth it in the end.

The food here was absolutely delicious in and of itself. But I also want to specifically call out the excellent service from our waitress Bethany. She was extremely attentive and polite. Great place! If you’re looking for a nice place to eat, this is a good place to try :)

Great food. The tacos brought a great mix of flavors. The terrasse is located next to an Artist Stage. We had the chance to have two artist performing during our meal 👌

Such a great mid-September evening on their patio. Awesome food, beautiful service, great ambiance and great variety of beverages! Def recommend the steak bites and bruschetta!

Very disappointed in our last meal there. I ordered tHe portabello mushroom burger but the mushroom cap was not grilled and was very cold & raw. Mentioned it to a co-worker and he had the same experience. Two people in our party ordered the burger and both found the burger patty was very dry. Another had the spinach dip but said it tasted like plain cream cheese. The service was excellent and the draft selection was good.

Great craft beer, wonderful food, and attentive staff. A must when visiting downtown Charlottetown. The lovely patio is awesome for people watching, live music matinees and scenic view of the cobblestone street.

Loved this place. The food was amazing. The service was exceptional. We sat outside and there was live jazz. Fantastic. Highly recommend.

My daughter was shamed by our waitress for how much she ate. The manager was useless the waitresses apology pathetic. Imagine if this were a person recovering from an eating disorder. .... we were offered no compensation for the harassment. I couldn’t finish my meal I was so angry.

Walking by we were automatically pulled in by the amazing atmosphere and clean look of the restaurant. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly, and we even had the manager come over to make sure everything was up to our standards. The service was amazing, and the food was sensational. Half price mussels, and they were the best mussels I have ever eaten in my life. I would 100% go back here, and would recommend it to everyone I know going to Charlottetown.

We sat outside and even though it was a little drizzly out the staff put up umbrellas and lit the outside heaters. The food was great and we got to try a couple of craft beers. Our server was very attentive and checked in often. We didn't get his name but when the heater went out he made sure that it was taken care of. He was amazing. Thanks for a great experience

Had dinner here this evening . I have to say everything we had was excellent. Portobello mushroom burger was delicious, beet salad was awesome and the cheesecake so good. The servers were super efficient and friendly. A dining experience I will recommend to others!!

Great service, food was amazing, staff friendly, had an enjoyable evening, would recommend it!

Everything was awesome from service to quality and quantity of food to wait times and quick food delivery.

Great food and loved chowder. as an aside, couldn't believe high quality of drinking water!

Food is excellent and the staff are superb. Great selection of craft beer. What more could you ask for?

Stopped by after supper for drinks and to listen to music. Blue Jays on tv, good music, no refill on coffee..the male waiter did ask the men if they wanted more beer, didn't speak to us girls ...!

Excellent food (get the grille burger), excellent drinks (get the summer dream), excellent service and excellent prices!!
