Didn't stay at the hotel. The oysters were great! Friendly service. The expensive rib eye steak was unfortunately not cooked properly, and the mashed potatoes over salted.

good location downtown, impossble to find the entrance (you do go through the restaurant door), couldn't figure out where elevators were for our luggages, but room was clean and came with robes, windows do open to the hallway but I found the blinds were enough to cover the lights overnight, drinks in the bar downstairs were weak but they were $14 and bar had live music

I recently had the pleasure of visiting St. James’ Gate pub in Moncton, NB, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! The vibe of the place is absolutely fantastic—warm, welcoming, and perfect for a night out. It’s great to find a spot that stays open late for those nightcaps! One of the highlights of the evening was the live music from Chris. He is an outstanding musician who truly knows how to engage the crowd. No matter the request, Chris knocked it out of the park every single time! His energy and talent added so much to the atmosphere, making it a memorable night for everyone. The servers deserve a shoutout as well. They were not only efficient but also incredibly friendly, ensuring that we had everything we needed throughout the night. If you’re looking for a place with great music, a lively atmosphere, and top-notch service, St. James’ Gate is definitely the spot to be. I’ll be back for sure!

Outside of having a extremely contagious son, we had a very close experience. My son went with the boring chicken strips. My wife and daughter both had the chicken wings, my daughter a particularly had the spicy ones and said that they were fantastic. I myself went with the bison burger and although I've had a bison burger before, this was probably the best bison burger I've had but it was also one of the best hamburgers I've ever had The waiter and sadly I can't remember his name was absolutely fantastic.

Cool building, good atmosphere. Tasty, but pretty pricey for what you get. We had a table of 8? and waited a long time to be served (45+ minutes?). Could see the cooks through the window loosing their minds, felt bad for them. Server said they had a big table before us, which is understandable to a certain extent, but management should have planned better. People who arrived after us, ate and left before we even got our food. Nothing offered complimentary for our wait... Just kind of expected more at such high prices.

We’ve stayed here 3 times now and absolutely love it. Central location, so walking distance to many local restaurants and bars, as well as shopping. Staff was quick to resolve a small issue, and gave us a free room upgrade for our anniversary as well as a gift. Fantastic place, and we can’t wait to go back!

Went to the restaurant for my birthday. The server was so NICE and joyful. The singer sang me a happy birthday song, and wished me one several times throughout the night, he even remembered my name lol. The food was awesome, it is my favorite place to go when I'm lonely and have some cash, i get my fave gate burger, sit and listen to the live music. I recommend this place 1000% Humans are wonderful ❤️

I give an opinion on the restaurant and not the rest. I like the decor and the atmosphere when the music is not too loud. We have been going there for several years, whether in Dieppe or Moncton. But its been 2/3 times that we have been disappointed with the quality. Non-alcoholic cocktails to start, not the same quantity of ingredients in them which changes the taste. So yesterday we decided not to take any! Then same thing for the chicken carbonara that we always have. I was so disappointed last time that I decided to have another dish. My daughter took the same thing and this time it was normal in quantity: bacon, chicken and mushrooms. Because the time before and the one before that we wonder if they no longer had the necessary ingredients and we divided what was left into 3 or if they were trying to make more money at the expense of quality? But as it was good yesterday, does it depend on the cook in which case the quality is unstable depending on who is in the kitchen??? So I chose a gate burger and I was disappointed with the very sweet taste of a topping, I didnt eat it, the fries were OK but nothing more like the homemade fries they advertise. My husbands fish tacos were barely breaded and not grilled at all, too bad. On the other hand, my son was delighted with his veggie burger, it was good. Apart from that, the service is always friendly and impeccable. On the other hand, I wonder why when booking they ask us the occasion of our visit because we often go there for birthdays but nothing ever happens, no problem but dont ask in this case, it creates confusion. false expectations. To check in the future if the quality is still up to par or not.

I was there last night with my friend, and I ordered a Coors Light beer, but the server gave me a Moose Light. I told him I had ordered a Coors Light, and he apologized and said he would bring me one. However, when we checked out, he had charged me for both beers. Just to let everyone know, if you go there, make sure you always check your bill before you pay!

I asked for a California club. After 55 minutes I received a kind of cross dripping with sauces with fries that had been reheated several times. Very dry, dark brown and not edible. Unable to find the waitress, the manager came. I wanted to replace the fries. After 15 minutes of argument in English only he agrees to make me more fries. He is very arrogant and insists that the fries have not been reheated but his oil is black. After the replacement, they arrived boiled, not even cooked. I dont mind paying the right price but its not serious. My son makes the best sandwiches. To avoid

To start with, this is the most unoriginzed place you will stay at . From not being told there s no front desk agent to having to wait in line at the bar for a bottle of wine for a half hour . The price you pay you d expect abit better . I d hate to know how many people booked rooms to just cancel . I m honestly shocked this place is in business . Great idea, execution was very flawed . Great potential but , my experience it was a cold dingy room and had no sound insulation so snow removal ruined my night . Parking: Very bad

Walked in 30 minutes ago. Staff refusing to acknowledge us. Server comes angrily over and TOSSES 1 menu at us between 3 people and walks away. No hello, looks annoyed. We say we re sharing a menu between 3 people - walks off again! Comes back and very rudely asks what we want - takes order and angrily walks off again. Worst service we ve had here ever. Or anywhere in a very long time. Brought a friend here from out of town - embarrassed at the awful service. This server seemed angry that we existed.

Came here on a recommendation from another restaurant, was pleasantly surprised by the vibes of this place around 9pm. Live music, Jean and Guy(sorry if I spelled the names wrong please correct because I m trying to find these guys online to hear more of their stuff), other than the amazing music performed by those guys the drinks (cocktails) from the tall guy were superb, we started with The Refresher on a recommendation, then moved on to The Phd which took me to another place, I was drinking it and was immediately transported to the tropical beach, what a mixologist that guy!!! And our server was helpful, attentive, informative and lively; added to the vibes man!!!!!

December 22, 2023

misleading menu: Mojito, Moscow Mule and Refresher are listed in Mocktails only. When you order one, they order a cocktail with alcohol and charged almost twice the price instead.

Dined there tonight. Every item was mediocre at best. Basic oysters- no varieties, overdressed salad, soggy truffle fries, un-garliced garlic mashed potatoes l (that were clearlyvmicrowaved), lack lustre and overcooked steak, risotto that tasted like Lipton Sidekicks, and then three pieces of overcooked asparagus as a side?? This is THE WORST restaurant. How is it possible to be listed as one of the best places to eat in Moncton? On top of this, unattentive snd unaware server. Will never return.

December 22, 2023

Disappointing experience at St. James gate for dinner on Friday July 21. We went for the buck a shuck, but I also ordered a spinach and scallop salad I previously liked. Oysters were missing from our order. When the salad came out - it was not with spinach, it was with regular lettuce. I wouldn t have ordered it had I known about the substitution. I mentionned it right away to the waitress. She assured us that if we kept the salad they would make up for the mistake when it came time for the bill. I assumed it would be a discount, which I was fine with - we didn t want to make a fuss or return the meal. After the waitress came to confirm we were done and brought us our bills. I asked what the waitress meant when she said there would be an adjustment in the end to make up for the salad mix up. Looking rather annoyed, she said she could offer us a free desert or glass of wine - but by that time we were ready to leave. She said we could remind her next time we see her, which seemed rather impractical, and odd. Although we tried to be pleasant, we found her increasingly rude as the evening went on. I alone spent more than 60$ there that night, not including tip, and felt let down for the price I paid. We tried to reach out to management before posting this and did not get any kind of response.

December 22, 2023

Terrible service and it wasn t even busy. We were basically ignored. Waited over half an hour to have our finished plates removed from the table, waitress never even came back to see if we wanted any more drinks. She came to the table and just asked if we wanted the bill didn t even offer a dessert menu. Server brought the bill, over $150, should have been around $65. I didn t even notice just tapped my card. Had to go back to get a refund. Watch your bill when it comes to the table. Other couples seated were waiting a long time to even get their order taken. High expectations, bad experience. I have also noticed they don t respond to any of the negative reviews, or messages on social media. They obviously do not care about providing a decent dining experience for their customers.

Definitely a positive and fun place to get some food, have a drink and spend time with the people you love. We did not go into the hotel, which is why I havent rated it. Nearby activities: Live music, when we went. Safety: All the workers ( In the restaurant)make sure that all customers are safe and well taken care of.

My husband and I went to the restaurant and my husbands meal was good but I ordered the grilled chicken picatta and I was very disappointed. 90% of the was broccoli and wedges and the rest was very small chicken breasts.

I also found it odd they don t carry straws which was upsetting because my teeth are very sensitive. Don t think we will be back.

This hotel is tired. Excellent downtown location. Not senior friendly due to the stairs. But the biggest downside is that its on top of their event venue and the intense noise booming from events makes it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep until the event is over, which seemed to be near midnight. Cool bathroom if you dont mind your roommate seeing your activities there through the glass wall into the bedroom. Good TV. Not great facility to hang clothes, no body lotion amenity, pillows were lumpy and not sufficient, the chair was cracked and worn. Ok if you get a great rate, but if youre looking for a good night sleep and quality experience, book elsewhere. If youre partying downstairs, its the way to go!

My first visit, arrived mid afternoon on a holiday and was the only one there. I like the venue, small and cozy, and the wait staff was very friendly and accommodating. I had read some good reviews on their steaks, so I thought I would try one. I love a great steak, but admittedly, I dont know much about the different cuts. I ordered the striploin (new menu item) and fries, medium rare. It was cooked exactly the way I was expecting, but I found it a bit tough and sinewy (is that a word?) Maybe thats because of the cut I ordered? Not sure. Fries were excellent. I tried the SJG ale, apparently brewed by The Pumphouse. I found it a bit bland. Chose Guiness for my second round. Cant go wrong with that. Overall, I had a good meal, but it wasnt great. Service was excellent, though. I will give them a second chance soon.

Ate at the restaurant. I ordered calamari which was rubber band like complete with hair. Seafood risotto was suitable with lots of seafood.

December 22, 2023

Absolutely dreadful. I ordered the cod bites as an entrée, little to no flavour if they think this is what cod should taste like they are not from my world. I followed up the entrée with a steak, the most flavourless steak i ever had. Accompanied by burnt brocoli and mashed potatoes that im quite sure came from a powder pack. Then there was a weird side of onions in a seperate plate.. it was awful. My girlfriend had braised lamb on rigatoni she says it s the most awful meal she s ever had. Would not recommand this place.

The starter was good, the meal was good, the waitress was really good not always at our table but made sure we didn t want for anything. The coffee was not plentiful or extremely hot. For a non drinker the coffee is important it should be high quality and plentiful the atmosphere was lively and generally happy people people dining all around. The only only thing that bothered us was the garbage on the side walk in front of the restaurant. There was not any garbage throughout the city but there was paper boxes drinking cups cigarette butts etc to walk over to enter or exit the restaurant a solid 4 rating

We were looking for something to eat and on line it was one of the places that served food til a later hour, after being seated and waiting for a server for about 10 mins we were told that the kitchen closes at 9. The menu seems to have a great selection, the employees were very apologetic 3 stars are only based on an in and out experience, after trying the food I will change or may my keep the rating.

This restaurant has a unique interior design and all waiters and waitresses were very friendly! Oysters were fresh and clean, seafood chowder was loaded with seafood, and the bison burger was juicy and tender. Overall everything was on the salty side, especially the deconstructed ravioli.

Not impressed about the service. The waitress told us we can wait on the bar or outside until a table become free. We left our phone number. We waited 1h and we we want inside to check, the restaurant was empty and the waitress said she forgot to call.

Good place, but sometimes the food comes super salted. Last time my salmon was extremely salty and my partners unsalted. This mistake shouldnt happen when the price is so high.

We have visited the St Jamess Gate restaurant three times now on each of our trips to Moncton this year. The food has been consistently excellent. The staff are friendly, and welcoming. We want to give a big shout out of thanks to Aayush, who has served us on our last two trips. He is always smiling, attentive and informative about the menu. There is live music too, which is fantastic. We recommend eating here and you wont be disappointed. Thank you to all the lovely staff at this restaurant. G & T.

I love the atmosphere of this place. Smoky without the smoke. Books like the walls... lamps are turned on low... funky music filtering in... I ordered the lobster pasta... being from the west coast, one of my goals was to have Atlantic Lobster before I return to Vancouver BC. This pasta was scrumptious. The New York Cheese Cake with blueberry sauce drizzled over it, really hit the spot. Id have to say that the Virgin mojahito was probably to best Ive ever tasted... with the fresh stacked limes and mint. Superb!

Beautiful place very well located. Good value for money. No reception staff on site in case of need such as the faulty ice dispenser. Problematic soundproofing: earmuffs are provided. Excellent restaurant both for the service and the menu.

Discrimination and Cover Gouging. Went here during a night out with my brother. After paying the outrageous cover of $20 due to COVID-19, we sat at the bar and were treated fairly by the bartender. We continuously purchased beers and tipped generously. We were not loud or obnoxious. One thing of note, however, was the significant lack of young women inside the bar, but I thought nothing of it until a bouncer came to my brother and I and told us we had to leave. He did not give any reason and when asked, he became aggressive and made an effort to intimidate us. They didnt let us finish our drinks despite how we paid $20 to even be allowed inside to buy them. Once we were outside, the same meathead that kicked us out finally told us they were too full. However, he immediately welcomed a group of 5+ young women to enter the bar. This place is not a welcoming place for anyone looking to experience the nightlife of Moncton.

Note to self: never order take out from there again Called about 15 times before someone picked up to take my order, I assumed they were busy so we didn t make a big deal out of it, the guy on the phone was very nice, the wait was about 45mins, my biggest concern was the food. Everything looked and tasted like fast food, nothing special considering the price we paid (around 100$ for 2 person and the servings were not that big). In conclusion, way too overpriced for what we had.

Work function. Room was too small. Food wasnt great. Bartenders had extremely short pours for an already-paid-for event. That and they closed dirty in PEI and left their staff high and dry a few years back, -not a fan.

Very bad experience with this bad company. I made a reservation (for the event room) a month before my event, I even paid the full amount requested. To be sure that I will have the room on the day of my event. 4 days before my event when everything was already ready for the event, the manager called me and told me that it was no longer possible for me to do the event there. And this without explanation... Big disappointment, frankly if you are looking for a serious place I do not recommend this company.

Disappointed in the cocktails and service. I Ordered an Espresso Martini just recently and it was like an alcoholic latte on the rocks, all ice and not at all martini style. When I asked about it, they responded very rudely well that s how we do it here and walked away.. Wouldn t recommend ordering drinks here.

Loved the vibe of this hotel and restaurant. They have great food and drinks. I loved the accommodations, clean, modern, and very friendly/helpful staff. I would give 5 stars if they had an elevator. I had to carry my heavy luggage up narrow stairs, which wasn t ideal. Overall, great experience!

Bit of a mixed experience. The good: - Staff were quick to respond to emails - Rooms were spacious and clean The bad: - 2nd floor rooms are directly over the restaurant, which has music every night of the week. In other words, its going to be noisy until the shows over - There are no blackout curtains, so light can be an issue - There are barely ever hotel staff on site, so resolving issues requires you to call / email someone in to address a problem

Really great atmosphere and the spinach and artichoke dip starter was amazing however, the chicken carbonara tasted really weird, almost like it was solely turned over in oil and the sauce was forgotten and it didnt taste like any of the carbonara dishes Ive had in the past. No parm was offered which surprisedme a bit. Really disappointing since it wasnt a cheap meal and the waitress told us it was the most popular dish. The seafood chowder was tastey yet I did not note any lobster, there was one scallop and a few shrimp. I get that with every spoon full you get what you get from the pot however, it is quite disappointing, considering I waited a long time to try this place out. Still, a very nice setting, super awesome staff. We didnt complain because that is just not worth the time.

I don t recommend if u want to actually sleep Not happy with the service! First night away from baby just wanted to relax and have a good night sleep.. nope the event room was hosting a party. No one at front desk, no answer after 9pm by call. They could at least warn their guest that there is an event or supply ear plugs! Never Again!
