Tipsy Tomato — Restaurant in Saint John

Wouldn't recommend.

Tipsy just opened a new patio and customers seems to enjoy it as it's always packed. If it wasn't during the covid pandemic it would be fine but about every seat at every table is full almost whenever I pass the restaurant and they seem to have little to no precautions in place.

As a server in a restaurant elsewhere I know that it's a government mandate to take names and numbers of customers that eat at the property in case of a an active case of covid popping up. When we went, no names or numbers were taken. While it could be that our waiter forgot there doesn't seem to be a sign in sheet anywhere. On a related note the register became quickly crowded with groups of people paying for their orders and collecting pick up orders. We think this may be because there fidnt seem to be any hand held debit machines to be able to pay at your table.

I am familiar with the idea that having a door always open can give the feeling of welcoming guests. Unfortunately with the small inside dinnng area and with it being later in the night it ended up being a haven for flies and mosquitos.

The washrooms were out of pretty much everything after the day. In one there was no paper towel or soap and in the other there was no papertowel either. And while it could be that the staff were unaware with how many people that were there they might want to check them more regularly.

The food was a hit and miss, I had a donair and some motza sticks that were quite good. However my side of fries were inedible, very greasy and soggy feeling. My friend had a club wrap which she commented that was "meh", and just okay and not that good. Overall the food was just unimpressive.

On a positive note though the staff were very attentive, kind and friendly which made the...

Man, where to start. I first started going here when it was new. Just because it’s the only bar in millidgeville doesn’t mean it’s good. The first couple times were awesome but, compared to now, holy cow. I went here just last night at 5pm to give it another try. The one server was setting up for a “venue” and she cared more about the people that were coming at 7pm over the one customer who was there now. She promptly handed me a menu and took off without asking what i wanted to drink. I sat there decided for 15minutes until she came back to ask what i wanted. I got the 2 piece fish and chips, and as soon as it came out the waitress said “you’re not good enough for the fancy cutlery” (referring to the tables she was setting up for their “venue”) tasteless, beyond greasy, and i could literally feel my stomach flipping from the second bite. I took it to go just to throw it out as soon as i got outside. I felt pressured to leave as the waitress literally stood in front of me at the bar and watched me eat. One of the cooks was in the back by the drive thru window complaining how slow it was and said “that one guy show order more food” referring to me. The waitress was the type of person to fight you if you didn’t give her a tip. Least to say, beyond awful. Will not be returning, i’d be giving a no star...

Terrible and RAW pizza!!! It was so gross 🤢. My friend and I got that as an appetizer because its a pizzeria too.. never had such a bad pizza. No sauce, pizza dough was raw (see pics and videos), the toppings were meh, and the cheese was tasteless. You’d think its the cheese but on second observation.. it’s raw dough. Raw dough contains bacteria that can cause diseases (CDC). The chicken parm had a random napkin under the dish ? Maybe to soak up the water from the spaghetti which was tasteless, had to add so much seasoning for it to be edible. The chicken was wet but edible at least.. I could not continue eating it though, it was just too watery. The pasta sauce was funky. The salad .. you can’t go wrong with that haha. I didn’t even know a salad came with it. My friend got a fish burger which she said was ok. The one star is because the server was nice and attentive. We did not complain to the server because there were a few people there and it was only her, so we felt bad to bring this to her attention...
