Scores Sports Pub

Fish & Chips

Breaded haddock, house-made fries, house-made tartar sauce and coleslaw.  We unexpectedly visited this restaurant and were glad we did.  The plan was to eat next door but when there were no tables available, it was decided to try this small pub.  I don't eat fries often but these homemade ones were a great treat. The haddock was not dried out, was fresh and was spiced just right.

SERVICE: The server was a real sweet heart.  She was attentive and accommodating.

QUALITY:  Fresh and just cooked veggies, nothing limp.  Presentation, for the other meals, was appealing.

ATMOSPHERE: For a Tuesday night it was nicely quiet. Another historical building renovated with a sports theme; bar tables and high stools and lots of TVs. 

VALUE:  Average prices.

Would I pay a return visit:  I'll return

Jungle Jim's

Chicken Taquitos 'n' Garden Salad

Tortillas rolled around Mex-seasoned chicken and mixed cheese.  BBQ style, baked or fried.  Served with choice of salad.  It was an appealing presentation and a great taste too.  Every once in awhile you want to eat "fun" food, something not really healthy but just go'in for the taste.  I must say that the garden salad was 'chock full' of veggies....the really healthy part.  Wellllll, except for the bread the whole meal was a healthy choice.

SERVICE: The servers are always fun, they actually laugh at our humour.  Their memory is amazing, some don't use paper and pen for the order. I see this occasionally and am always amazed.

QUALITY:  Fresh salad, nothing limp. Tasty chicken.

ATMOSPHERE: Fun but getting a little old, could use a reno and cleaning. 

VALUE:  Average prices.

Would I pay a return visit: Yes and do so often.

Saint John Ale House

Indian Curry Chicken Fire grilled chicken breast – IPA curry sauce - tomatoes - spring onions

I have to say that this dish was better then Britt's curry chicken, and the presentation was better.  Don't get me wrong both are close contenders.  Thank heaven the curry was not strong, which can be the mistake of many restaurants and which does kill the flavours of the other foods on the plate.  I have been lucky with my choices here....wait a minute it is not luck, SJAH has quality cooking staff.

SERVICE: The server was friendly, efficient and attentive.

QUALITY:  I always find the food fresh, as if the menu is decided on what is bought daily at the market.  The presentation was as it should be, arranged and sprinkled with herbs for decor.  Well done.

ATMOSPHERE:  Another great job in renovating the old port warehouses.  Very clean and spacious.

VALUE: Average price , good value

Would I pay a return visit: Yes, often
