The St John's food scene continues to evolve and this evening I hit the restaurant in my Marriott hotelwas I ever glad.

Every meal I've had at the Harbour Room has been excellent and the service friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

Replacing Smitty's in the Courtyard by Mariott, Fish Bowl brings high quality food and service to this hotel replacing the Canadian version of

We had a lobster with a ceasar salad for our last dinner in St. John's. The plate arrived with a cooked lobster on it and also the ceasar salad in the same plate; croutons were already soggy with the water from the lobster. Also, the server didn't bring a dish in which to put the shell of the lobster. After complaining, she brought us another ceasar salad in a separate bowl and also a bigger bowl for lobster shell. We were not too impressed. The lobster was very good and cooked to perfection; unfortunately, we remember the rest, like the soggy salad.That restaurant was recommended as a must on the Newfoundland touring guide from CAA; it should not be there.

We had a large number of family members home for a funeral and most were staying at the hotel so we decided to eat in the Restaurant, It was delicious , we had Calamari steaks, muscles, scallops. Everything was cooked to perfection. The staff was wonderful and very attentive. Even the Chef came out to say hello. Very nice touch
