Great spot! Came in for late dinner and was very happy I did. I had the meatballs, brussell sprout salad and beef brisque nachos. The food and the cocktails were amazing. The staff is very friendly and not shy to have a conversation. Atmosphere is on point. I had the opportunity to have a drink with the chef, and what passion she has! If you're a local or visiting St John, I highly recommend coming here. 👌

One of the best meals we've had in a long time. From the service to the food everything was amazing! Tried the Spanish tapas and the curried goat, both were delicious! But the highlight was definitely the blueberry cheesecake! Can't wait to go back again!

An experience unlike any other. Instead of ordering from the menu, we asked Chef Ange to prepare whatever she wanted for us. She delivered Spanish Tapas, Curried Goat, Table Side Smoked Salmon and White Chocolate Truffles. All were equally unique and delicious. The Goat's bartertender Kevin and the staff were a pleasure to chat with and the service was top notch. Literally the best restaurant in St. John's, NL if not all of Atlantic Canada with the bonus of extremely affordable prices. 11/10

As soon as we walked in through the doors, the welcoming ambiance and delicious smells of garlic ushered us into the restaurant. We had the cheese board with the addictive cowboy butter (a must try), Goat cheese and warm honey, Strawberry bruschetta, Caesar brussels sprouts, and blackened salmon. Every single dish was perfect, presented well and so satisfying. The service was impeccable. The bartender came over personally to ask us what we would like in our mocktails. What a wonderful evening spent at the one eared goat.

Memorable experience! Terrific service, outstanding food. The cod tacos came in a corn tortilla, so a plus for gluten-free diners. I loved everything about this restaurant.

We had lunch here and were so impressed we went back the same day for supper with friends. Absolutely inspired food. Excellent presentation, great staff. The menu is really interesting and the 7 plates the 4 of us had were superb.

Phenomenal!!!! Mediterranean feel, warm and welcoming host and chef and overall outstanding experience with amazing mouth watering pintxos (Basque tapas) of cod with piperrada, caramelized onions on goat cheese, bacon wrapped scallops, bacon and bourbon jam. Smoked salmon infused with apple wood smoke at the table. Followed by curried goat on basmati rice with naan and finishing with a white chocolate truffle with cream and mint. Absolutely incredible! Thank you Chef Ange!!!

Delicious food, excellent service, wonderful new place with lovely atmosphere. The brussels sprouts were absolutely to die for, but every dish we tried was fantastic. Great cocktails too. Will definitely be back soon, so that we can try everything else on the menu. Definitely one of the best meals I ve had at any restaurant in St. John s.

I so, so much want this restaurant to succeed and Im telling everyone about it. I first tried Chef Anges work when she was working at the old Florian in Forteau, and that was an incredible dining experience. Now that she is in St. Johns - you need to try her creations. Simply superb food, experience, and value. Highly, highly recommend.

An absolute gem. The food was incredible. Had the Brussel sprout ceasar salad, Spanish tapas and brisket flat bread. All were outstanding. Plenty of food, we had to take away some as to much for the two of us. Service was flawless and atmosphere was light and comfortable. No fried food, was a wonderful treat. Will go back again.

This has got to be in my top five of my favourite restaurants I ve ever been too. I am a chef as well, so when I talk about this y all should listen lol. I ve been to many many restaurants around the country and this one is very special!! We were greeted by the owner as soon as we walked in with a big smile. The staff are very friendly and they know the menu to answer all your questions. The food was so full of flavour and in mine and my partners opinion the cost is very good. We felt they could ve charged more for the quality and volume of food you order!! Thank you very much to all of you making our experience so great!!!

This is my new favourite restaurant in St John s. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff, but the superstar here is the food. I ve been lucky enough to have had Chef Ange s food in the past and the menu here is as amazing as I ve come to experience from her. I went twice in four days and had the brussel sprout Caesar salad, strawberry bruschetta and smoked brisket tacos and cod tacos over the two visits. Everything was amazing. The brisket tacos are melt in your mouth delicious and I ve never had a better tasting Caesar salad. Everything was full of unique flavours and it is easy to tell that it is all made from scratch. The care that is put into the food here is evident. My only regret is that I don t live in St John s. If I did I would definitely be eating here at least once a week.!
