No. 4 Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in St. John's

Amazing plating, atmosphere, staff, and cocktails! What's not to love AND a beautiful euro looking patio. Sitting on the patio we enjoyed a moijto to start. Along with a boat full of appetizers... Tuna tartare/cheese board/both flavours of mussles/and the scallop crudo.

Tuna: paried with fresh sourdough and arugula garnished with beautiful editable flowers.

Cheese board: plentiful and sharable. A chef if not busy will come and name all of your cheeses on the plate.

Steamed mussles: subdivision;

Corn with bacon - The bacon was fatty and crisp which contrasted the amazingly seasoned mussles themselves. Corn added the sweetness to the savory.

Kalbi - sweet brown sugar did these mussles a cloud 9. WHOA the flavour the saltiness was above and behind what I was hoping for. Heavily garnished with fresh herbs to round out the bowl of broth and mussles. 11/10

Finally Scallop Crude: What a delicate dish. Clean, simple and beautiful. I would get this everyday if I could. There's nothing more then raw fresh scallops with an amazing oil honey and chillies. All the ingredients speak for themselves on this plate. Please try it.

Also I asked for a recommendation for my second cocktail from a beloved bartender Tristan. The "Nude Beach" perfectly balanced and decadent colour.

Please enjoy slowly and remember to tip your money is going to some amazing humble...

This was our first time, we will definitely be back. Cocktails were well made, tasty, all around excellent. The tartare was lovely as a starter. The sauce for the spaghetti and meatballs is very good, the small is deceptive, it's still a solid portion size. The burger was an experience, perfectly cooked and stacked with bacon, cheese and fresh lettuce and tomato. The fries were good, but seemed to be the one thing in the whole experience that was lacking, I think a thinner cut fry would fix that. The cheesecake dip was super tasty, anytime fresh strawberry and raspberry comes together with caramel is a win. The ice cream cake was also quite good, unsweetened whip cream balanced the sweetness of the plate super well. You couldn't ask for a better front of house staff. The host was very pleasant and our server was incredible, attentive, hilarious and genuinely interested in us enjoying our experience. The bar staff looked happy doing their thing and the atmosphere is perfect for watching their craft. There was nothing 'wrong'with the music, it just seemed a little out of place for the environment, and maybe a touch loud.

Over all, we will definitely be back. It seems like a great place for two to slip away for dinner or for the team to unwind after a long day. There's always little things, but this...

Good first impression; Danny was super friendly and made us a couple of excellent drinks! Second experience left a lot to be desired though. The hours online say they’re open until 3:00, but when we showed up at about 12:45 — more than two hours before close — a tall man with dark hair behind the bar rudely told us they were closed for the night, that they’d pour us a beer but we’d have to pay in cash as they’d closed the debit. I asked about the hours online and he said they were indeed correct but that they change — without notice and on a day-to-day basis it seems. He said that phoning ahead of time would be a good idea next time but we phoned ahead twice tonight and got no answer both times, just a recording that said they were “open until very late”. Danny’s exceptional service the first time may cause me to come back again, but, needless to say, if treated as rudely the third time as I was this time, there will be no fourth time. As a customer, I find it very perplexing that businesses find it acceptable to arbitrarily close two hours early, treat paying customers with a complete lack of respect, and then expect them to come back again.

Update: The third, fourth, etc. times have been much better than the second, and the hours online have...
