When we mentioned a problem with one of our meals, she acted like it was our fault (the turkey cranberry wrap had no cranberry; our waitress acted like it was high maintenance for my grandmother to get what she'd ordered, but okay, she'd go get *extra* cranberry for her). The poor service could have been forgivable if the food had been great, but ...nope. It filled our hungry bellies but that's about it. To top it off, there's a sign posted above the cash where you pay saying "no pissy attitudes". Classy.

Sadly the worst meal I had in Newfoundland…read more The location here is quite nice, along a harbour with a lack of cellular service (although wifi is available here). The menu options were quite vast, and there were some special options available off the menu as well. I had the "Treasure Chest" to start, which was cod bites, calamari, scallops, and shrimp served in a bed of fries. This was probably the best part of the meal, as the portions were big and the seafood was relatively fresh. I also had a French Onion soup, which was unfortunately awful. Shredded melted cheese was simply not it. I shared mussels with my parents, which were some of the smallest I've ever seen. It was quite plain, it said olive oil and garlic was supposed to be included, but I barely saw it. Finally there was a crab au gratin on special, which I decided to order with onion rings on the side. Similar to the mussels, the crab was small and there was barely any meat on it. Service was also quite rushed. My family felt like they were trying to chase us out even though it wasn't completely full. Can't say this was a good experience overall sadly.

At the Dock Marina, the Gallery/Gift Shop is upstairs, while the water-side restaurant is…read moredownstairs. Gayle and I visited Trinity during a recent cold and foggy weekend and enjoyed dinner here on a Friday evening. As I'm the "gift shop" guy in the family, I went upstairs the next day to take a look. As with almost anywhere in Trinity, walking here was relatively short and pleasant. Here are my thoughts: The Gallery/Gift Shop has some nice local crafts and really nice local art to put on the wall. However, through a combination of "our walls are already full" and "this or that doesn't speak to me", I left with only a Newfoundland coin for my efforts. My advice is that if you're here, you should definitely take a look. Now the Restaurant, which is one of the few in Town. - We sat inside by the windows with a nice view. Outdoor seating was available, but on an evening like this, there were no takers. - The Dining room was attractive, comfortable, and felt like I was in my home town. - Our wait staff were friendly, welcoming, and very interactive about where we were from, local perspectives, and what things we could do in the area. - Our meal was very good. Over 3 glasses of shared white wine, I had the Chowder and a Caesar Salad, while Gayle chose the North Atlantic Scallops. When in Newfoundland, Seafood is what's for dinner.

The closest experience I can think of after spending a really nice weekend in Trinity was maybe Mendocino, but without the tourist hordes. The Twine Loft Restaurant was very charming, with stellar down home service, and delicious food options that the kitchen was happy to tweak. We both enjoyed the rustic modern dining room, the romantic ambiance, and the view of the water through the window. Our only regret here was that the weekend we were here was cold and foggy, so there was no real sit on the deck at sunset (or sunrise) option. Dinner was extra special at a fixed price of $65 plus beverages. Gayle chose the Moroccan Lamb Shank with Yogurt Mint Sauce (served with Lemon Herb Israeli Pearl Couscous and Roasted Vegetables), while I went for the Atlantic Salmon with Mango & Pickled Onion Salsa (served with lemon roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables). We shared that an a nice bottle of Canadian wine.

We (my hubby and 3 year old) had heard good things about this place from our air bnb host as well…read moreas I'd seen a few good reviews here, so we were excited to try it after a day of exploring. We arrived around 6 pm without a reso (oops!) they had a big bus tour coming in so looked like we were going to be out of luck but they offered take out, which was fair and kind! As we were looking at the menu they played with things a bit and were able to fit us in their cafe portion before a 730 reso. We soon realized that the co owner was taking care of us in this family run business. She was great at answering all of our questions and being SO attentive to our little girl. We started with the hummus and smoked salmon and it was incredible! Amazing flavor and all made from Scratch. For our mains we all shared the tuna poke and the braised brissket. Both dishes were some of the best we've had, ever but definitely the best meal of our time in Newfoundland. We also tried the Newfoundland martini made with NF tea and it was so good (and pretty too!) and all very fair priced too! The restaurant also has an inn which looked very nice as well. The whole place was clean, with a bright and modern feel while being very connected to the seaside feel of the area. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I visited first thing, before even checking in, as I was famished from the long drive. I had a salad and soup, deliciously fresh and flavorful, and their fresh lemonade while I sat and enjoyed the quiet, the rustic scenery, free WiFi and artwork on white walls. Yes, and every day after I would lunch and buy two desserts: one for later and one for the following morning before I made it up the hill to Fishers' Dining Room for breakfast. And these are no ordinary desserts ~ Tunisian orange cake, for instance. The staff are so very helpful and attentive. And so many locals and regulars just being themselves ... there was a whale sighted on my last day and all had a go at the binocs by the windows. A true treasure in this otherwise rather barren stretch north from Trinity. And they started this summer with long hours Thu - Sat til 7:30 with a different type of cuisine every evening.
