Pinnacle Restaurant and Lounge — Restaurant in St. John's

I had been in St. John's for a week, staying at the Delta but always chose to dine elsewhere, never having had looked at the menu at Mickey Quinn's. On the last morning available I decided I would take advantage of the convenience of eating at the hotel and stopped into the restaurant with my traveling companion. It was about 10 in the morning and I was surprised to see only two other tables occupied. My companion informed me that it had been this way on the two other occasions she had the opportunity to see the restaurant. As I received the menu I was not surprised as to why. The prices were outlandish!

A bowl of fruit was $10, omelettes ranged from $16-18 and I think even a simple bowl of cereal was $5-6. The menu items were very standard - which is FINE if you are going to charge a standard price. I should have purchased the $20 buffet and expanded my choices. I was warned by another dining guest against ordering the Belgian waffle, which was "quite basic."

I ordered the vegetarian omelette which had asparagus, tomatoes, spinach and cheese. I think the omelette would have been more successful if it had been feta perhaps - less greasy. Our service was polite and efficient - one of our coffee mugs was very stained and our server was quick to apologize and was good about checking in with us. Apparently this had not been the experience with another server the previous day when my companion had taken breakfast. She had to remind the server (in the near-empty dining room) that she had ordered coffee. Furthermore, she was not asked if she took milk or cream and was simply brought milk, which she couldn't drink.

This restaurant has potential for more service if they either lower their prices or increase their quality. A smaller menu with more creative options would serve them well in my opinion. The hotel is currently under renovations - maybe they can add the restaurant...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pinnacle Restaurant and Lounge located in The Delta St. John’s Hotel, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant's ambiance was inviting, with well-spaced tables and a cozy lounge area with plush couches. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, which always adds to the overall dining experience.

I ordered the steak, cooked medium rare, with seasonal vegetables and mashed potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked and well seasoned, with flavours reminiscent of Montreal steak spice. It was also well peppered, adding an extra kick of flavour. The seasonal vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, adding a nice balance to the meal. The only downside was that the mashed potatoes were too creamy for my taste, but that's my preference.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Pinnacle Restaurant and Lounge. The food was delicious, the staff were attentive, and the ambiance was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying at the Delta.

Ps. I stayed at the Delta on a Saturday evening in June, and the kitchen stopped taking orders at 11:00 pm, while the last call for drinks seemed to be...

As the name suggests, this really is the pinnacle of lounge and restaurant found in hotels (Delta Hotel). I was lucky enough to have been able to enjoy the Atlantic lobster fest menu and it was certainly a treat. First things first, fresh Atlantic lobster alone is hard to beat. I know people are going to compare to Maine lobster or Rock lobster found in warmer waters and while everyone has their preferences I personally find that Atlantic lobster tends to be the best overall choice in terms of size, value, texture, tenderness and flavour. All this to say that one should definitely try the lobster rolls and if you get the chance to enjoy lobster fest then the lobster Thermidor is a must and the lobster quesadillas are quite excellent as well. For dessert I recommend the molten chocolate lava cake or the turtles cheesecake. Both are rich and indulgent with balanced sweetness and paired with accompanying fruits. You really can’t go wrong with either option.

The service is fast and attentive and the atmosphere is typical lounge style with a lovely fireplace, cool bar and...
