We decided to try this place for a late lunch after landing a St. John's airport. What a great…read moredecision. The location is easy to reach, and has plenty of parking. The interior is lovely - nicely decorated with Persian themes - but not so fancy that it feels discouraging to bring the whole family. The tables are spaced well so it isn't too crowded or noisy. Great place for conversation. We ordered the Mast O Borani appetizer to start - a garlicky yogurt dish served with naan flatbread. It was cool, creamy and delicious. For our main dishes, we ordered mirza ghasemi (an eggplant and scrambled egg stew) and zereshk polo morgh, which was a slow-roasted quarter of a chicken with barberries. Both dishes were served with a generous helping of fluffy, saffron-infused rice. Everything we had was really delicious and had its own distinctive flavorings and spices. We were really impressed. So impressed, in fact, that we ordered a few more different dishes to go so that we could try more things when we got home. They prepared our to go order while we ate, and when we left, we not only had a whole bunch of leftovers from our meal, we had more fresh dishes to try - what a feast to look forward too. The lady who served us was really nice. She said the place had been there for a few years, and was run by her family, with special recipes that her family had developed. What luck they decided to settle in St. John's! I highly recommend Persepolis for a great meal and to support a wonderful family-owned business!

I am not quite sure how they manage to stay in business with this lacking work ethic but I sincerely hope they change. I have went there from mun before exams, so I could get some dinner only to find out the place isn't open leaving me with few alternative vegan options and insufficient time to eat before writing.

Of course, the restaurant/bar plays great music. From Johnny Cash to the Pretenders! As for the food, I was only there for lunch and had the soup special: Citrus Lamb Orzo. It was delicious, if not a tad oily (from the ground lamb). Served with really good grilled bread to sop all the flavor. If I am ever back in St. John's, I plan to stay here at this hotel and hang out at this bar at night.

There weren't many restaurants downtown open for breakfast that morning, so we walked further to…read moreBagel Cafe. The young hostess who seated us was the only pleasant employee we encountered. Unfortunately as soon as she sat us and went to get us coffee a server arrived to frustratedly inform us that there was an issue in the kitchen, and we needed to either order that second or leave. Completely understandable there can be issues, but it wasn't our fault we were seated so being curt wasn't necessary, she could've been kind and made her point too. I didn't even have an opportunity to open a menu, but luckily my husband found an egg plate lightening fast so I said I'd take the same. The only difference we'd requested was our eggs cooked two different ways, which was wrong when the food came...but of course no use bringing that to their attention under the circumstances and she wasn't interested anyway. From then on we saw only the hostess again (as she came to check on our coffees). Other than that, we heard the staff somewhere joking loudly or occasionally turning customers away at the door due to the kitchen issue, and a female server (?) start berating the hostess right across from our table. Even though our order wasn't right the food was decent and portions huge. The interior setup is unique, most tables incredibly private. Maybe if we'd come on a different morning we could've enjoyed a meal here, this just clearly wasn't the morning to stop in.
