Saltwater Restaurant + Bar

Ate here the other night, the food was phenomenal. They do staple foods but in a high end way. I had the Chicken Amaretto, the chicken was tender, the sauce was delicious, overall a fantastic meal. The server was also very friendly, helpful and nice! Will be back again! Update: went back again with larger group, the food was amazing. Scallops were absolutely perfect, good drinks, tacos were fantastic, pasta was amazing and the tiramisu was probably one of the best desserts I have ever had. Service was amazing, bartender was very accommodating to requests. New top favorite restaurants in St. John's!

We had the lobster rolls. Were good. Buns were delicious and heated properly. Basalmic glaze was added to the plate for aesthetics but it made the lobster rolls hard to eat - kept getting vinegar on our hands!

The food here was excellent! We ate here last night and sat on the patio which had a lovely vibe. The food itself was very good - my wife had seafood risotto. I make risotto at home and have had it many times including in Italy - I thought this risotto was really excellent by comparison. I had chili and parmesan cream fetuccini with a half lobster and it was also amazing. The texture of the pasta was great, the sauce very flavorful and of course the NL lobster was delicious. My parents had the crusted cod - can't go wrong with NL cod. Overall, the food here was really top notch and I really enjoyed my drink. The only downside right now is that with a VERY busy post-lockdown come home year every location in town is completely slammed. The restaurant was packed and so service was a bit on the slower side - luckily the evening was beautiful so it wasn't much trouble.

Food was delicious and the service was awesome! We actually had a reservation at a different restaurant that tried to sit us at a terrible table so we decided to give this place a try - no regrets! It was a fantastic meal for our date night!!!

Okayyyy, this restaurant is . Great atmosphere. Our server recommended the bruschetta and it was absolutely to die for. I've never had such delicious bruschetta before! I had the seafood chowder, and while it was quite tasty my only criticism is that it didn't have a variety of seafood in it no mussels or shrimp, just white fish which I'm assuming was cod, so it should be called cod chowder instead. The food is on the more expensive end, but I would definitely recommend.

Order the pasta, but avoid the lobster. Apparently lobsters are as popular in St John’s as they are in Vancouver — I just wish I knew that before I ordered the lobster pasta. The pasta itself was ridiculously delicious, and I have to say that I enjoyed it much more than the lobster.

Salad and burger were good, not outstanding but the pork belly was the best I've ever had. Absolutely melted in my mouth. The shrimp appetizer was really good as well. Our waiter was very attentive and professional. Have eaten at Salt water a few times before, but if this was our first time, I don't think I would rush back. The ambiance is definitely one of the nicest in the city so that's a plus.

I was in St. John’s for a business trip. I found Saltwater by mistake. I got scallops for appetizer: delicious. Main was roasted cod, Mediterranean style: amazing. Dessert a tiramisu, which I don’t have any word to explain how it was: I can just say that it was one of the best tiramisù I’ve ever had. Many, rather a lot places in Italy don’t make tiramisù as good as Saltwater.

Food and service was great! I wanted lobster for lunch. It was not on the lunch menu. They went out of their way and made it for me anyways.

Great friendly service, good drinks. Had the lobster roll special, all fresh but not quite the same as in New England, onions which shouldn’t be on a lobster roll were too over powering for the lobster both in flavor and in size
