Spent our anniversary dinner at the Gypsy Tea Room. We've been here previously, but have decided to leave a review as we have a consistent experience at this establishment.
Service was excellent. We were checked on frequently, our glasses were never empty, and we were given updates on the arrival of our meal. The wait staff recommended their daily special (the salmon dish). It was delicious and should be a regular item on their menu.
The lobster rigatoni pasta meal was also quite good, but on the rich side as they add dressing to the meal. A little more sauce would help soak up the bread, and a bit more spice to balance the plate.
Overall, we will be returning to the Gypsy Tea Room for future meals. Thank you!

We had our wedding here and it was everything we wanted! Doug and his staff went above and beyond. They were so accommodating, the environment was so relaxing. He calmed my nerves before the wedding and during (bride). The food was amazing, everybody loved it. The venue was a really good price and it was beautiful.
Happy Bride, groom, family and friends! I would recommend 10 times over!

This restaurant/bar is a nice and fancy place for an evening meal in St. John's. We went in around 21:20 local time and were seated at a table. There was a main menu and a lounge menu, as well as a drink menu. We shared some large nachos and duck wings, which were both superbly cooked. I've never had western style duck wings so they were pleasantly delicious indeed. The nachos were large and suitable for 3-4 people. My friend ordered the lobster linguini or something. I recommend this place. The drinks were good too. I have the michelob ultra and it was tasty. Very very lite.
Our waiter was super nice. He said it's his first day/week on the job but he did really well. I didn't get his name but he was very nice and friendly.
Good vibes. Good food. Come here.

The food was very good. The Brie was exquisite, the duck special was outstanding, gypsy salad delicious and refreshing. Not to forget the calamari just yum. The cocktails were also good
The service stuttered when the crowd appeared but it caught back up

Delicious food. We sat on the patio and had a wonderful time watch the pedestrian mall.

I recently made reservations here for my parents to try. They had a very pleasant experience here. The staff were friendly the food was on time, fresh and flavourful. Ordered the calamari and curry chowder for appetizers and for the main they both had Cajun chicken linguini. Overall great spot for a date night or special occasion.

We were a group of 4, ordering different dishes. The staff were very friendly!
Watermelon Mojito: delicious, light and fresh - 5 stars!
Cod: delicious, side vegetables (snap peas and carrots) were excellent
Burger: just an average burger, had a bit if a spice which overpowered the rest of it a little, fries were really good
Salmon: delicious, with a fantastic sauce! But the mashed potatoes were the real star of the dish - incredible!
Nachos: were average, not quite enough cheese so the toppings fell off easily
Carmel cheesecake: perfect balance of light and creamy, lovely caramel sauce
Chocolate torte: rich and smooth, strawberry sauce was nice and fresh but it could have used a bit more

My cousin & I came in for lunch. The staff was very attentive & went out of their way to make us feel special. My cousin ordered the turkey brie something with pepper soup which she loved. I ordered the blackened salmon which I didn't care for much but I would still come here again.
PS. Do not miss their addictive chocolate mints which they so generously plied me with!

Beautiful wedding venue with great cocktails. Only negative thing I could note is the business name being a racial slur, which has kept me from going there for years until I attended wedding there. Hopefully they rename it someday soon to be less offensive. Other than the name, great spot. Beautiful inside.

The food was amazing and fresh! The service led by Ashley and helped by Matt and Olivia was also terrific. We had a great time and I would highly recommend you book this for any event or just for a night out in Halifax for great service and food! Loved it and what a great first experience in St John's

I am visiting Newfoundland and visited the Gypsy Tea Room. Beautiful restaurant and food, but the real star of the experience was our server Ursula. She went beyond and above and really showed us true Newfoundland Hospitality. We will be back just for her! She had amazing recommendations of the menu, nightlife, and true “Newfie” experiences!

My party of 5 adults 2 children ate there last week!! The experience/wait staff were lacking any kind of people person skills. Upon entering I asked the bartender for hot water so we could feed the babies as they were 3/4 hr past their feeding time and were hungry. Waited over 20 minutes for the hot water that was at best warm asked our waitress for hot water and you think I asked her to cut off her arm!!! Very rude and snarky attitude!!! Our food was cold and one person in our party had hair in her food!!! For a high end restaurant that came highly recommended the food and the experience was lacking!! Too top it off went to change the babies diapers and the bathroom wasnt people friendly let alone baby friendly...no change table!!! Will never eat there again!!!

It was "okay" at best. The lounge had a lovely atmosphere as well as great cocktails. The factor that was unfortunately lacking was the quality and care that went into the food. Multiple people in my party ordered the cod tacos- it seems a pretty obvious and common menu choice here in St. John's. You would expect the cod to be succulent, juicy and plentiful. Instead, we were served "scraps" of the fillet. Literally scraps- the strips of cod were the size of my little finger. I hope you can improve on this menu item in particular, best of luck!

One of the worst experiences I ever had at a high end restaurant..The staff could not get us out of there fast enough.. we were a party of 7 over the Christmas season..we sat at the bar for 10 mins waiting for a table and had to ask the bar tender for a drink while he was at the end of the bar Talking to a Co worker....not about work. Then asked if something could be ordered from the bar menu for appetizer...answer was No!! We don't serve that in the dining room but if you go to the bar area you can get it...Really?? Yes Really. Then the server was taking my empty bowl away with juice from muscles in it ..wasted it all over my husband..not even an apology she actually said "well his arm was in the way" we have eaten out in almost every down town restaurant and I have never been so dissatisfied and disappointed in service as I was there all 7 of us were not impressed.

Gypsy Tea Room is one of my go-to restaurants in the city. It's a great place to go for happy hour, a nice dinner, brunch or lunch -- they have it all. I've also been to countless events here and I'm amazed at how the staff can adapt the space to each function! I once booked their conference room for a group workshop for my business, and it's rare to find a place that's quiet, comfortable, and has all the audio-visual capabilities you need (even a Smartboard). Kudos to the team at Gypsy Tea Room for all that they do!

We had our wedding here last night.. couldn’t of asked for a better place, the staff and environment were phenomenal! Cant say enough about this place! Thank you all again! It was a pleasure �

The best fish and chips. Really the best fish in the courtyard on Friday. And, good staff. Thanks
Susan Grace
We had a wonderful dining experience, beautiful atmosphere, cozy and intimate. The food and service was outstanding! I would recommend the tenderloin, it was delicious!
Sandra Donnelly
Wow! The Gypsy Tea Room is fabulous! I had a wonderful meal there on Tuesday with my two sisters & we had such a fantastic experience - the food was exceptional & service was top notch! And Doug, our host, must be related to us because he could not have treated us any better! We will be back again! Thank you!

Popped in at 1 pm for lunch for 2. Service and food both good. I had the shark tacos and my wife had the club sandwich. All good.
Gregg Robertson
Nice Wednesday special ! hot food ,Great service, cool spot for a drink and conversation without loud music, love people watching out front :-)
Craig Lundrigan
Overall our experience was mediocre. No one really enjoyed their meals and service was very slow for a restaurant that was not busy. It's too bad as parts of the meals and the concepts were good it just seems that execution was lacking. My steak was tough, my wife had the pad Thai but the noodles were over cooked. Our friend had the pork shank which looked amazing but was very dry. Could of been an off night in the kitchen.
Wanda Rose
I really enjoyed my meal, as did the rest of my party. My only problem was my $50 gift card only had $23 left on it even though it had never been used by me before. This was my first visit there so that was very strange..
German Goldstein
Great place, great food and welcoming staff.
