Travelling the entire island this summer and this was the best food, atmosphere and service experience easily. We had Lindsay as our server. She brought out our drinks and cod tongues with scrunchions right away. She thoughtfully described the preparation and history of this dishe’s significance. She also told us this was the place to get them as they are done well here. Tried to get a picture of the cod tongues but they were gone in a snap 🫰🏻 Cocktail for the day was a Spiced Rum with pineapple and a house made ginger brew. It was delicious. Didn’t last long either.

My husband and I like to order things we can share so we had the Admirals Feast and the Lobster Mac and Cheese.

They packed the lobster in that Mac and cheese generously and let me say, they had me at the Mac and Cheese! The cavatappi was done perfect and ready to hold only all the boursin, parmesan, provolone, and padano cheese . Every bite was heaven!

The Admiral’s platter had scallops, halibut, salmon, cod, fish cake and shrimp. Each were prepared uniquely and cooked perfectly with a very thoughtful overall presentation. Hard to pick a favourite from this selection but I will say I had fresh, in-season halibut all over the island and this one was by far the best. It was not cooked. Loving care was bestowed upon it. It was respected.

I had the French country salad and my husband had the Caesar. I’m not sure about his Caesar but the French Country was as beautiful as France itself. Delicious.

It was our last meal here on Newfoundland and it was special for a number of reasons… but all our stories about what brought us to this place in our journey were answered with the same warmth and love by this restaurant, our amazing server Lindsay and we think SJFX is the best. Worth every penny and we both thank you all in providing this most delicious meal 🙏🏻
