The Black Spruce Restaurant

Relaxing stay with luxurious beds, incredible views, lovely decor / amenities and attentive staff.

Stayed in this wonderful Neddies Harbour Inn and got to enjoy the Black Spruce Restaurant twice.

The restuarant was just okay despite being touted luxury. It was obvious most of the food was excessively pre-prepped; e.g, salad dressing congealed on

My title sounds a bit extreme but in my experience it is totally accurate. I tried several restaurants in St John's which were all disappointing and a highly rated one in Rocky Harbor. Again not very good. The Black Spruce is located in Neddies Harbor inn and serves dinner to inn guests and is open to the public. The food is as good as any high end restaurant in the States, The quality, creativity, and presentation were top notch. An added perk is the amazing view of the harbor and mountains. Reservations should be made as the restaurant is quite popular.

Ordered the catch of the day which was Halibut w Hazelnuts. The Halibut was dry and overcooked and looked like the dish sat under the heat lamps too long before coming out. Two waitresses came over and asked how it was and I told them it was dry and overcooked. Both waitresses did nothing about it besides say sorry to hear about that. I am not one to complain about food, but this place is highly recommended and it did not live up to everyones reviews. The restaurant charged me fully for the Halibut and did not give a desert for free. I went to the Sugar Hill restaurant the night before and the appetizer and main courses were delicious. If you are looking for a fine dining restaurant to go to in Norris Point, Sugar Hill is the place to go to.
