The food and service was high class and deserving of a return! I won't go on about the experience, but I will comment on the owners' investment. They are very much a part of the community and have taken every opportunity to support local everything. The fact that Andrea takes time to check these reviews, take comments and suggestions into...

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Bacalao. Our waiter, Kenny, was very knowledgable about the menu and was a gracious host.

Had dinner there a few weeks ago. Food and service is good but can't understand this being the highest rated restaurant in St Johns. My biggest complaint in ambience. Was given a table for 2 in a small back room with another couple a foot or two away from us. Could hear every word they were speaking which really put... More

We dined at the Bacalao last night, the food was delicious but I firmly believe $12 for a glass of wine is over the top, it was just ordinary wine, no special order.
