Saint John Ale House

 Lamb Bolongnese
 Cavatelli Pasta, Fresh Mint, Parmesan Reggiano

SERVICE:  We have great luck with our servers and the same was so last night.  Personable, attentive and quick to our needs.

QUALITY:  The dish was dry, not enough liquid added to the tomato paste.  The lamb was reduced to lamburger; what a waste of good meat and very little of it.  The flavour was good but not worth $18.  Who cares if it is cavatellie or macaroni, it is still an inexpensive filler. There was little presentation, just a cup of carbs with a mint leaf on top.....I can do that.

ATMOSPHERE:  What a great job the developers did when renovating these old ware houses on the Saint John waterfront.  Sitting among bricks, planks and history is just too nostalgic.

VALUE:  I found the price high for what was on the plate. 

Would I pay a return visit:  I think the Alehouse needs to pick up their socks. Pay the cook more, get a new menu and stop serving second best. This used to be the best place to go.
