The food was not satisfactory, nor was the service. Honestly, the food was severely overpriced; it lacked fresh ingredients, especially the salad, as it was slimy. Service was mediocre at best. Due to this experience, I didn't tip. The waitress walked away without a word, somewhat pouty because she didn't receive a tip for the less-than-satisfactory service.

Exile should be a must on your list of places to dine. Food, ambience and the staff are all top notch…one of the best spots downtown St. John’s has to offer. Do yourself a favor and check it out…

Everything we had was really great. It’s such a cozy and comfortable restaurant but extremely modern at the same time. The food was great. I mentioned when placing the reservation that it was a birthday and I requested a certain seating that they have and they very kindly seated us in a great spot. And it was delightful when they gave me a choice of a complimentary dessert- a choice is rare for that I find. And then brought it out without any silly singing but with a little candle that was lit at the table and just perfect.
