    The personal service is always appreciated. The restaurant/bar has a vibe of it’s own unlike any other in the city. It is always our first choice when planning an evening out with friends.

    I’m currently visiting from Toronto for 10 days. We couldn’t get a table but we were able to get a seat at the bar. I love all aspects of this gem that Saint John has to offer. Best advice don’t miss this restaurant you will be happy you attended

    For my reservation I had a small request to include a special welcome dessert (billed to me) welcoming a friend from out of the country. It did not happen. Every thing else’s was amazing, if I had one critique it would be that the lamb ravioli did not allow the lamb flavour to be at the forefront, if I’m ordering a lamb dish I’d expect to taste it. Don’t get me mistaken the dish was still amazing. I give my overall experience high marks and will absolutely be back again despite my request not being executed or communicated to me as of why.

    It is rare that we dine out, but when we do we want a place that checks all the boxes and IbN exceeds every one of my categories. Great staff, awesome environment, fabulous wine list, and incredible food each and every time we have visited IbN! Bring your appetite, your family/friends, coworkers, or come alone and prepare for a delicious experience!

    Great food, high standards, good service, friendly, however, noise level distracting ! Further, did not appreciate the pre-dinner phone call, to tell us we had two hrs for dinner and our table was reserved for another customer at 730? If we were slow or service was slow, which it wasn't, a friendly reminder at dinner would be more professional.
