Review St. John's Fish Exchange Kitchen & Wet Bar - St. John's

Michele Donnelly
Great service from host, server, other staff. Food tasty. I had two appetizers Tuna Tartare excellent and Charred Scallops also excellent. Two guests had the chowder and said it was okay but wouldn’t necessarily order it again. Two had the fish and chips also good but one said they’ll try the charred cod next time. Dressing was a little dry, could have used more butter. Another had the Caesar salad, excellent. And finally the seafood platter was really good and could serve two people if not too hungry. Pricing was reasonable incl tip 280$, 4 people with drinks, no desserts. Definitely going back again. Clean. Washrooms are roomy. Parking easy access to building.

This place effectively sold me on a return trip to St. John's. EVERYTHING that my friends, family and I have had off their menu has been outstanding. I have only been there twice but each time there have been more appetizers and entrees ordered than guests. Yes, this place is going to leave a dent in your wallet but I will be a fantastic dinner that you will tell friends and family about. If you are a visitor to the city, I highly recommend booking a table for your last night there. You will not regret it.

This our 4th time here, food has always tasted delicious. We had the scallop and mussels as appetizers, which was really good, especially the mussels sauce. Service and the atmosphere have always been amazing. The only thing I noticed is that the portions of lobster in the Mac and Cheese have a lot compared to what it was before. You can literally pick it out

This was probably the best meal I have had while here in St John's. We started with the Seafood Platter and finished with the Chef's Special Pasta. It was so good. The service was excellent our waitress was getting and paid just enough attention to us. The atmosphere was nice. We were seated on the second floor overlooking the Harbour, a nice view while eating. If you go be sure to make a reservation though or you will have a long wait to eat.

Unfortunately, I only learned about this establishment the day before my departure. It would have been great to get a table that has beautiful views overlooking the harbor, but I wasn't able to make a reservation in time. Regardless, the staff are very accommodating and ensured that they could squeeze in at the bar. The entire place is amazing! There is an upper floor and lower level that both have great views of the water.

Nice interior. good service. But alas, the food is not for everyone. But the oysters were the freshest!

Our first time trying the fish exchange and we arrived as a party of 8. The service was excellent and the servers were very patient with us as a few had trouble deciding what to have. So many great options and specials. I had the shark special which was delicious and the first time eating shark as well. I would definitely order this again. A few minor things were screwed up for our orders but nothing major. It was very busy and the staff were super quick with getting everything corrected. We will definitely be back again. Thanks Fish Exchange!

Fantastic restaurant. Elegant design. Food was very good, but for me portions were small. We took salmon and halibut, piece of halibut was small, one of us was left hungry. Tartar was amazing.

Over the top, the most amazing seafood I have ever had. The lobster was sweet and succulent, they even cracked it open and harvested the meat for this old southern girl. Brussel spouts with goat cheese and bacon, sweet potato fries with aoli, and roasted root veggies for the sides rounded out everything perfectly. My mouth and belly are so happy. Excellent service, our waiter was the best. Only here for a week and I will be back! Oh, the seaweed gin is a winner too. Trust me.

Visited from Toronto. Really wanted to try a fresh lobster roll straight from the source and it did not disappoint! Oysters here are also extremely fresh and delicious. The overall atmosphere and service you get from staff is top notch. I highly recommend coming here!

It was myself and my boyfriends first time at Fish Exchange tonight and it’s safe to say it won’t be our last! The food was DELICIOUS and we left completely full. My boyfriend is not a lover of carrots but he actually loved the carrots and other seasonal vegetables on his plate! The service, atmosphere and overall first impression was AMAZING. We showed up during a busy time so there were only a few tables available in the bar area however it really made no difference to us where we sat because overall it was a great experience!

We had supper here one night at the beginning of August. My hubby and I shared the calamari to start which was delish. Then for my main I had the whole lobster which was incredible, but he had a lobster roll off of the feature menu they had at that time and it was pretty small for the price. We tried a bit of the seafood pasta which a friend of ours had ordered off the main menu, and it was in great. Another friend had ordered the seafood trio dish off the feature menu, and that also seemed a bit small for the price you pay. Quality of food was amazing but it might be better bang-for-your-buck to stick to the main menu. The service and the atmosphere were great.

Went here for a work supper. Staff were very sweet and courteous. Very attentive. Food was delicious even if I didn't like seafood, there was a good few options for the non-seafood lover. Had the spicy chicken tacos, so tasty. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a newer place to try out. It's worth it I promise. Great views, restaurant was amazing.

The Admirals feast is a great meal! Changes with the seasons I would imagine but 2 oz of several different kinds of seafood fare. I had fishcake, cod, salmon, shrimp, halibut and scallops and all were very delicious. There is a choice of side and I would highly recommend the brussel sprouts (rivalled the seafood no joke!)

Main floor & second floor dinning next to the ocean, fantastic restaurant worth every penny. Great wine & whiskeyselections as well as specialty drinks...I suggest a reservation for later dinners. Elegant decor with murals, good music private booths, bar & kitchen on the main floor. *Service was friendly & prompt* 10/10 I would recommend this location...Appetizer; mussels were fresh in a great broth...large postion could feed 4 people. Seafood au gratin was excellent & salted perfectly, the side salad was great *contains pecans* beets, cheese & balsamic.

This is what 5 star reviews should be reserved for. Our server Gavin gave top notch service, authentic food advise, and even shared some of the history behind the names of drinks and food items on the menu. Food was unbelievably fresh and tasty. Vibe was on point.

Outstanding dinner. You can't go wrong with any of the fish food. All freshly cooked and straight onto your plate beautifully prepared, presented and wonderfully tasty. Great service. Not to be missed as part of your Saint John's experience.

Very Good restaurant the pasta sea food (lobster,shrinps, crab) was great . The Halibu special too the service super thank's!

Was so disappointed with the food had the seafood platter each portion of fish was so small I wondered if they ran out and gave me the scraps...no taste barely warm at 40 plus dollars for seafood platter I expected more. My husband had fish and chips the chips looked like they had been cooked several times but they were still cold. With the name Fish exchange I thought their seafood would at least be acceptable.

This place is a must visit. The top notch service and the amazing food is second to none. A phenomenal experience to say the least. I highly recommend this place to everyone !! Thanks for a great experience. Wish I could post a picture of my meal..it was picture perfect also.

Excellent food/Awesome service by Brent There were a group of six of us and we all ordered four to six different appettizers Drinks and meals, Our server Brent never wrote one thing down and each order was correct and in a timely manner. Thank you Brent for your wonderful service. Each and everyone of us ordered different kinds of fish and the meals were top notch and our compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff. My favorite was the Halibut and the Cods Cheeks. There was not one complaint about the whole ordeal. My only concern was that it was a bit pricey for two people two drinks, two appettizers, 2 main meals, one dessert $178. 00 + tip
