⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ St. James Gate: A Promising Gem in Fredericton After eyeing St. James Gate for some time—it’s conveniently close to home—I finally had the chance to visit, and it might just be my new favorite restaurant in Fredericton! Since moving here from Toronto, I’ve been on the hunt for a restaurant that offers something fresh and different, and St. James Gate delivers on uniqueness. Their menu stood out to me right away, offering dishes you don’t often find in the area. For my first visit, I chose the Blackened Cod with risotto, and it did not disappoint. The cod was perfectly seasoned and bursting with flavor, and the risotto was creamy and delicious. The dish also came with carrots and broccoli, which, while overcooked to the point of being almost mushy, were saved by a generous amount of butter that made them surprisingly enjoyable. Despite the vegetable hiccup, I’d absolutely order this dish again. I’m already planning my next visit and can’t wait to try more of their menu! The Bison Burger, Tuna Poke Bowl, Fish Tacos, and Seafood Risotto are all calling my name. It’s exciting to find a place in Fredericton that offers a fresh and eclectic menu, and I’m looking forward to working my way through it. If you’re searching for something different in Fredericton, I’d highly recommend giving St. James Gate a try!

Although from out-of-town, I’ve dined here a few times as a friend lives nearby. Nice atmosphere and service was good. Unfortunately, each time I’m here, the food seems just a bit more disappointing. On our recent visit, the calamari was small and chewy - cut into very thin rings so that it was more coating than calamari. The seafood risotto was flavourful but couldn’t identify what type of rice was used - it certainly didn’t taste or have the texture of Arborio - and was drowning in the broth. It’s a good place to drop in for a cold pint after a round of golf but there are better restaurants in Fredericton.

Way to loud to have a conversation on the side. More like a decorated hall. Our food was very oily, still I couldn't finish my plate. Company says their food was very salty. The server was very friendly but not very observative. Not sure if we would go again.

“Saint James Gate restaurant in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada is definitely a gem worth visiting. The food here is absolutely delicious, with all dishes made from scratch.

Amazing drink menu, never had a bad meal. The steak is well seasoned, and I will never say no to their cheesecake. The Mac and cheese was so good. Weird area as it is a bit away from other places but the view of the golf course is beautiful.

The food here is excellent, let me start with that, giving it a 5 star but it is a bit of an ...odd menu. They do interesting takes on a lot of classics but with a twist. Its usually super yummy but for example I ordered Arancini because I was kinda wanting Marinara. It came with Kimchi sauce and Avocado puree which.... Was really yummy but not really what I was hoping for haha. Its partly on me not reading the menu close enough but just an FYI haha. Its easily a 5-star place, beautiful and fair prices.

I also worked in food industry i always appreciate whatever customer give as a tip even if it s 5cent or 50 dollars both are equally appreciated. I went there with my family to try a new place with new food. But I don t know why your service all depends on tips . I wonder how can a staff member asks you a question are u new in canada ?and asking ..where are you actually from ?and showing attitude after getting 5 American dollars as a tip . When we ask what happened is there anything wrong she flaunts her attitude and said I was just wondering because u give me American bills . And she went back and put it back on the table and leave the tip on table. That s so heart breaking and I feel very bad on the choice to pick this restaurant for my family time.

The food was delicious, they were so accommodating with dietary restrictions, and above all they were friendly and wonderful to work with. The cherry on top is that the views are beautiful!

Great service. Great food . Burger was cooked perfectly ... fries were good, but they were shoe strings, which I really was not expecting . A place like that should be bottle neck or better, in my opinion. Great atmosphere but the music was a bit loud for a sit down meal . Couldent hear the people I was with across the table. Parking: I know you cant help the terrain, but the handicap parking was on a slant, which made transferring a bit more challenging in and out of my car to my wheelchair l. Wheelchair accessibility: Fine .. see above notes

High prices for mediocre food. A very small piece of cheesecake was $12. A little piece of chocolate cake for my 9 year old granddaughter was $10. My Mom had the jerk chicken and it was so dry that she asked the waitress for something to put on it. She didn t like her meal. My granddaughter had the kids mac and cheese $10 no taste and very bland. My bill came to $83 for myself and my granddaughter plus 15% tip. Very disappointed.

Saint James Gate in Fredeticton hosted our wedding reception this past weekend. It was a wonderful experience, the entire service from the planning the event with Jessica to the execution of the meal was well done. We rented the conference room and the beautiful balcony overlooking the golf course, the atmosphere and grounds were perfect. The service was excellent, we had a number of special requests for food sensitivities, and non alcoholic Cocktails and the staff had these requests delivered to our very appreciative guest. The food was excellent! We had a luncheon that started with champagne served on balcony, once seated, on the table was this amazing fresh baked bread with honey butter (I mean fresh...so good), then a garden salad. The main was crispy chicken on a bed of mashed potatoes with pan gravy, it was delicious, followed by our cake, tea ànd coffee. All our guests remarked on how lovely the reception was. The reception was carried out exactly how we had planned. Jessica and the team at SJG did a fantastic job.

Been here twice now for dinner. Both times pleasant and great service and the food is delicious. We did the Valentines Day set menu and it was fabulous and then last night I had the seafood risotto that was so rich and delicious. Kudos to the chefs on serving such good quality food with great presentation! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and seems like adding meat to certain otherwise vegetarian dishes is an option

My wife and I were treated to dinner by a friend on Saturday 12 Aug. I had the Seafood Risotto, which was supposed to include lobster, shrimp and scallops which sounded delicious. When my plate arrived it looked bland and so it tasted. It consisted ot three shrimp and scallops, but no sign of lobster. I called the next day and left a message. No return call was made.

We called at 8:10pm asking what time they closed and what time the kitchen closed, they assured us it would be 9pm and the person speaking said we could come right in for food. I personally don t feel comfortable going to restaurants so close to their closing time however the host assured us she d be more than happy to have us come in. As clearly stated by the host, they did last call for food at 9pm. We show up at 8:20pm, 10 minutes from when we called and are told they are not serving food anymore and that the kitchen has been closed. We drove 20 minutes to get there just to be told they won t serve us. Will not be returning.

Man, what a gem. I had the new old fashion...omg....a solid drink. My wife loved her blackened fish and calamari. I had steak frites (10 oz striploin) awesome! Great sauce on the steak. We had Rachel as a server. What a great server. Super nice & attentive. My recommendation would be too check out the clothing store attached. We had a great time talking too the women who owns it. She has great clothing options at reasonable prices for the quality. I wish I could remember her name.

Tried St. James Gate in Fredericton, West Hills Golf Course, for the first time (as we have been and loved the the Moncton location). We were disappointed that the first two drink selections (on tap) were all sold out. A Friday night and you are out of things on tap, not a good first impression. Otherwise we order the Thai chicken app, amazing. The fish tacos and sweet potato fries, delicious for me. My partner had the pork tenderloin with garlic mashed (though a lil dry) delicious. We will try this place again, hopefully they will not be out of so many of the on tap choices. Great atmosphere, awesome wait staff and an amazing view of the course. Next time we hopefully can sit on the patio.

We had a really nice dinner on July 3, our party of 11 all enjoyed their meals. Even the kids dishes were large portions and well received (kids mac n cheese came in a cast iron skillet and made my niece feel fancy!) Nice cocktail list. For mains, standouts were probably the blackened halibut, tacos and the shrimp/scallop salad was also great. Truffle fries starter was huge and delicious, not too overpowering in flavour. Everything came out at the same time which, when it doesnt, is a big minus in my picky books! Our server was Cory and he was very attentive and nice. Recommend!

My wife and I had an almost perfect evening here recently. Service, cocktails, and food were really outstanding. Probably among the best in Fredericton. Our server was experienced and particularly helpful and attentive. Unfortunately, the noise level in this new restaurant is almost unbearable. We were sitting in the corner at a table for 2 and had to shout to one another. The acoustics from the other patrons and ambient noise are simply terrible, and to make matters worse, there was some sort of music being piped in. If you want a delicious meal I heartedly recommend this establishment -- but go alone because you wont be able to carry on any meaningful conversations.
