    We went on a date night and had a fantastic time. I had the sirloin special and my wife had the Roma pizza. I will be dreaming about that sirloin. Temp was 100% medium rare and the whole dish was prefect. My wife's pizza was phenomenal and the portion was really generous. You could definitely share the pizza between two. Michael B took great care of us. He was inviting and attentive. We also had whiskey sours and they were bright with a bit of warmth. Shout out to the back of house for putting out so much, so quickly and at such a high level.

    Always a good evening out for dinner. Had the lasagne which is delicious but regretfully it was burnt along the outer edges... presumably baked in a pan and the exterior edges got a bit burnt. Surprise it was served as such. Typically the food is good... also they sold us cocktails and dessert and delivered it saying they needed the table in 5 min...? Surprising... it felt rushed given the circumstances.

    Exceptional dinner with zero complaints. Scampi was perfect!!! followed by the Salmon which was again done to perfection... Could not miss desert even though stuffed, Crème Brûlée was to die for. Server made it all come together perfectly.... Highly recommend for any occasion or just because you deserve it!

    Great experience with our server. As always, IBN has the best wine list in town. Tried a Corvina on its own for the first time and it was great.

    I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get a table at this very trendy uptown spot recently while in Saint John for the weekend. The vibe is causal but not so casual you wouldn’t enjoy a celebration there, the design is airy and open, yet our table felt private. The server was better than average . We shared the root salad and it was one of the best examples I have ever had; the candied orange peel on top notched it up above the usual . Pizzas were what you would expect now, thin chewy crust baked in a wood fired oven. Really good, but almost expected no days. Skipped dessert, so you are on your own there, but I did notice a good selection of expresso coffees that I kinda wish I had stayed a bit longer to enjoy.

    I can’t say enough good things about Italian by night, food, service ,ambiance is exceptional. We were fortunate enough to have reservations for last night being Valentine’s Day, which I booked in advance two or three months ago. As always , we had a great experience. Our server Michael was a great help making last night an exceptional experience. If you only go out once this year to a restaurant you should make Italian night your choice, you won’t be disappointed.
