Service was awesome - try to get a table where there is no draft from the door- our waitress was able to move us- so very much appreciated !! The appy for 2 was great. Salmon dinner was very tasty and the cashew chicken stir fry was over the top !! Note the stir fry would be very sharable for 2 people .

Always find St. James' Gate to be a great place to eat - and they do a good job of catering to gluten free food as well.

About the restaurant

The Med Restaurant is one of Saint John's oldest restaurants, serving hungry guests since 1971.
Since then, the restaurant has gone through many changes and improvements along the way.
Chef Christos (second generation) and his team are proud to prepare Greek and continental dishes, using fresh and wholesome ingredients as well as the finest imported products (extra virgin olive oil, oregano, etc.) from Greece and creating everything from scratch. Our products are also sold in our store, Theo's Fine Foods, located in the same building, next to the Med.
Our dining room is bright and airy, with a modern Greek flare, in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.
We welcome you and look forward to serving you in the future!

Food quality is always at a high level. Not frozen or pre-made as seen in so many other restaurants in Saint John. With restaurant prices higher , it's good to had quality ingredients.
