    Best meal we had in St. John. Absolutely fantastic seafood, and great service to boot!

    Mussels were excellent. So was the cod chowder. Restaurant a little noisy? Large party upstairs?
    Main course cod was excellent. Seafood risotto was excellent as well. All in all. I would return to this restaurant. If looking for quiet ambience look elsewhere. Otherwise excellent.

    The cod chowder was great as was the soup of the day. We split the cod special that was served with risotto. Everything was very good, and well seasoned. I get a bit annoyed when salt and pepper are not on the table, but this was perfect and needed nothing. Great service and a nice ambience. Would be happy to go back

    For the starter we shared the steamed mussels.  The appetizer arrived in a timely manner and was hot and, even more importantly, tasty with garlic and hot peppers tossed into the liquid for the steaming.  The generous portion was plenty for two.

    My partner had the pan fried cod with scrunchions & caramelized onion and he cleaned his plate.  My entree was  the grilled trout filet with a delicious red curry cream sauce and I also cleaned my plate. Ok, ok, I used bread to sop up the last tasty bits of the curry sauce, if truth be told.

    The service was attentive but not intrusive, and the food was nicely presented and tasty.  My one complaint was that the Bob Marley music was a bit too loud, so we had to raise our voices above it to converse among our group.  

    The $$$ rating is correct and we enjoyed our Friday evening meal on Duckworth Street.  The old adage held true, "the best time to order fish is when you can see and smell the saltwater."

    What a wonderful meal my sister, her husband and I had tonight at Saltwater.  We started with a smoked salmon and a baked Brie with partridgeberries.  Both delicious.  For the main course, my sister had a perfectly prepared salmon, my brother in law had a fantastic trio of steak, lamb and pork (all beautifully prepared)and I had a great pan fried cod, with scrunchions and delicious potatoes.  Our dessert was a sampler of the three offerings, a delicious bread pudding, an amazing chocolate torte and a really good partridgeberry crumble.  Our server, Melissa, was a great complement to a fine evening.
    Highly recommended.
