Port City Royal

“We order the braised lamb leg and the black garlic ramen , both dishes were presented very nicely and had unique taste which hits the right spots! The interior was very cozy and relaxing, perfect for a date night!”

“Fantastic. Great ambiance in a character building, excellent FRESH food made to order and great service. The squash ravioli, bacon wrapped scallops and the BBQ beef brisket ramen were perfect. Best ravioli I’ve had in recent memory. Other restaurants in the city may get “talked about more” as the best option for a nice evening out, but to me this is a hidden gem and is either 1A or 1B no matter the other choices.”

“WOW! My first stop in Saint John and I am not disappointed! I did my research and it's darn near flawless! Exceptional food and service. The chicken liver mousse and lobster ravioli were fantastic! As for the dessert...yum!! A true gem!”

“Place seems nice with good music, food was mediocre and overpriced - started with Cajun fries - nothing special just fries with salt with no noticeable additional seasoning... then ordered short rib with grits - very unbalanced with way too much parmesan and way too salty couldn't even taste the beef or the grits (polenta) and it left an unpleasant after taste . told the server - she seemed uninterested yet polite. Desert was creme brulee with peach - quite mediocre and anemic, caramel crust was way too thick and the custard part had no body and it would've been nice if they had actually used vanilla bean. Told server/hostess (different than the first one) same response - didn't really care... Would've expected at least for a chef to come and talk to us to see why we were unhappy with more than one of the items we ordered as the place wasn't too busy - would've been nice to feel that they care about our experience...”

“I been debating writting a review, food is SUPERB. But the drinks and service? Not so much. A few weeks ago on a Friday night me and 2 girlfriends made reservations ahead of time to go. The restaurant was running behind and asked us to sit in the lounge. No one ever came to ask if we wanted a drink while we wait. We didnt get seated at our table till 45 mins later. and we finally ordered our first drink. We had been tucked away in a corner behind a very loud and busy party table. Which is fine, but it may have added to staff forgetting about the little group hidden in the corner. Our drinks didnt even come till out food came.. so that means no drink for at least an hour an 15 ish mins total. It was crazy! And the drink was literal garbage. I got a whisky sour and it wasnt even drinkable. I didnt drink it. I couldnt even tell you what it tasted like but it sure was not a whisky sour. The meal itself was good. Idk if they had been understaffed or what as I see our experience is very different from the experiences of people's reviews I been reading. But waiting over an hour just to have a drink...and them being over 30mins late when we made a reservation is just a sad experience for sure. The food is great but not great enough to make me want to go again. 1 server was super funny and he kept apologising to us and took a couple pics of me and my friends for us but other than that, the service and experience was rhe worst I have ever experienced in my life. For the price I would have expected better service for sure. I would have expected better service than a fast food chain”
