It's been a over a year since I have tried Saint john Ale house due to not one but multiple poor experiences. I can handle poor servers, and kitchen accidents or mistakes but for how much a meal cost at this High end establishment i have yet to be served a dish i was satisfied with. Today was no different.

Axil Salad- The smallest portion of Salad mix with a high price of 15.98.. I was shocked at not only the small portion of greens but how the chicken i ordered with it for an extra 8$ was chard Black and harsh to taste.

Pork Bites- 14.23..... other than the fat and grease at the bottom of the dish that had a great salty taste the bites were over 70% Fat that pulled apart like toffee and it was dry and rough.

Grilled Romaine Salad - 30.62 ( CRAZY ) that my partner got... She ate 25% of it and i figured she just didn't have a big apatite so me being extremely hungry at this point took a bite and realized that it wasn't her being full but the fact it wasn't worth the one bite i took

I wish i could stop there but unfortunately the service and specifically our server lacked any drive or spunk. I don't even think she attempted to engage in a conversation with us . It was just all around another poor experience Worst part was i had a gift card i got for Christmas last year that covered half the meal.. but i still felt robbed leaving wondering what i paid for.

I recommend you take you're entire serving staff on a field trip up to Moncton and go to IHOP for breakfast and take note on how they interact with customers. For a high end restaurant in saint john I think it's time re evaluate your establishment or think about selling to someone that will turn your place...

Server failed to check on us after our food was delivered so she wasn't able to fix the mistake on my meal so I couldn't eat it. The server kept coming back to the table beside us, but never made her way to us.

Also, server failed to notice that my chicken was completely untouched and didn't ask if everything was okay when she eventually did come back to our table (well after my dining partner had finished her meal).

In addition, our server failed to mention the massive upcharge for an additional yorkshire pudding. I didn't expect it to be free, but $6.00 for muffin sized mixture of - essentially - water and flour seems a bit steep.

It was nice of the server to comp our meal, but I didn't want a free meal...I wanted a meal made right so I could eat it while it was hot. After driving in from out of town, we just wanted to eat a good meal at a place that had (otherwise) been a reliable restaurant over the years.

Overall, the food was high quality (I.e. quality ingredients) but not cooked well. My dining partner - who loves salty foods - even told our server that her mashed potatoes were way too salty (words I never thought I'd hear her say!).

Restaurant was incredibly hot/humid. No amount of cold water could cool us off. How do people work in those conditions??

I'd probably go back, but I certainly wouldn't be in a rush...
