Saltwater - St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

Best chowder in town. It’s chunky and creamy with lots of cod and vegetables. We love it. The seafood pasta is a Must to try :)

My lobster pasta dish was delicious. One of the best meals I had in Newfoundland. Unfortunately my husband's fish and chips wasn't. The cod was thickly battered and the fish wasn't cooked through. My espresso martini was fantastic.

A mediocre pub style restaurant. The mussels were tasty and fresh paired with a marinara-like sauce ($20). The grilled cod was also pretty good, a little dry ($38). I’m quite disappointed in the lobster dinner though ($58.00) it was served to me cold (unless this is normal? I’m a tourist, so ... forgive me if I’m wrong) with no utensils to help further crack the shells as it was pre-cut in half. I could tell service was strained as they needed more staff to help ensure the proper flow and standard of the guests, but my server wasn’t able to check in on my meal until after it was finished (another employee served my dish) and no utensils were provided until after my food arrived & I had to remind them. I can’t really see myself returning to this establishment, it was an okay way of saying hello to a new city. Read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Saltwater in downtown St. John’s, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is welcoming and sophisticated, providing the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was beautifully ... presented and bursting with flavor. From the fresh seafood to the delectable desserts, each bite was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs. A special shoutout goes to Brittny and Kelsey, who made our dining experience truly outstanding. Their attentive service, friendly demeanor, and genuine passion for what they do made all the difference. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and made us feel incredibly valued as guests. If you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience in St. John’s, I highly recommend Saltwater. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Brittny and Kelsey, you’re in for a real treat! Read more
