East Coast Bistro

The best pasta I've ever had. Faith, my waitress, did an amazing job at pairing the perfect wine with my main and my dessert. She also recommended the dessert, which did not disappoint. I don't even like dessert and this had me drooling. Prompt and professional service. Nice atmosphere. I can't say enough great things about this place. Can't wait to go back. I literally could have cried my French onion pasta was THAT good. Thank you!

My husband and I celebrated my birthday here last month and we had a great dinner. We ordered mussels, lamb and pasta. All the dishes were excellent! The sticky toffee dessert was delicious. This was our third time here through the years when we visit Saint John, NB.

Some of the best food we've had since being in Canada. The service was wonderful, made me lemonade off menu. The food was fantastic the brisket was like meat candy. Not touristy at all.

Excellent food. We shared the mushroom toast (awesome), my wife loved the pistachio dukkah crusted salmon and I took the hot honey roasted duck breast (perfectly cooked). The service was also very good!

This is a delightful little bistro, with a warm atmosphere. Delicious offerings on a trendy menu. We had the mussels, and the brisket, both generous and delicious. But especially good was the dessert: the chocolate bête noire. It was heavenly!

The food was good but the it ends there. The decor was depressing, and the waitresses were BEYOND arrogant. This is not at all something I'd ever pursue again. Good food is important, but there are five senses and how you make people feel beyond the food matters. Won't be back. Not in a million.

We ate there recently and were very disappointed. The food was overpriced, portions were minimal at best and lacking flavor. I had the back-bacon with scallops with my husband having the pasta dish. Both portions were very small considering the price. Pasta noodles are inexpensive - a decent size portion should be expected.
We both left the restaurant hungry - that should never be the case.
The waitress was lovely and the service was prompt.
Overall poor experience though.

Food was 5 star
Service was 5 star…. Thanks Molly!
We will be back often

To update
Daughters bday take out extremely underwhelming and lacking flavour. Reached out to management at the time and they did apologize, but really did feel like they cared at all
Won’t be back

Great food (don't skip dessert!), drinks, and service. Clean and welcoming atmosphere.

Sorry, hard pass. The food portions were small, the meat (both duck confit and lamb leg) were on the dry side, and it just wasn't that flavourful.
At these (expensive) prices and (small) portion sizes, I expect every bite to be bursting with flavour, or at least something I can savour and say "damn that's good! ". Unfortunately there just wasn't much to call home about, wasn't like "wow! " just "ok that's alright I guess. ". Barely any sauce, and overall lack of flavour.
I wanted to like it but it just didn't meet the value they price it at.

Stopped in last minute and was lucky to get a table. Absolutely delicious food. Top notch presentation. Ordered the specials, and it was a great decision.
Steak and halibut cooked perfectly!

For a perfect night out as a couple this was the right choice. We lucked out getting at 8oclock reservation (especially as people who eat fairly late) was worried we would have to be eating dinner at an ungodly. Anyways the food was was absolutely fantastic. I'll post some pictures of our appetizer and mains. Literally cant say a single bad thing about this spot. 10/10 go for it if you are trying to decide on a new place to try! Service was wonderful and friendly, yeah just go.

Nice restaurant with good variety. Great flavor combos and good portion sizes all with a plesant atmosphere.

“Home” from Montreal and had an incredible meal. Highly recommend! Ambiance, service, presentation and an innovative menu are all beautifully executed. I think I’m in a sticky toffee pudding coma which is never a bad thing.

11/10 for East Coast Bistro.

I had the rack of lamb special which was quite literally the best piece if lamb I have ever had. The sides perfectly balanced the lamb and created a very balanced dish! The wife had the Scallops and Casarecce Pasta and the scallops were cooked to perfection. We went for our anniversary dinner and will definitely be back. It is a great date night location for anyone looking for that perfect intimite location!

East Coast Bistro was the perfect place. Food was delicious, the staff interacted with our son who is 21 months which he loved and, the atmosphere was relaxing.

Food was tasty. Service was great. Portions were large and filling. The scallops were a very good appetizer. Lots of great flavors. Done really well. The Brisket & Frittes was flavorful and a big plate of food. The salmon was good. And the drinks were great as well. Definitely would try again.

First time we were there was last night! We all agreed it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! The food was beyond delicious, the drinks, the service, the whole atmosphere was incredible! If you want an upscale dining experience in Saint John, look no further.
