Worked fine for me, but I understand the drawbacks that some other reviewers state. I was there in June, before tourist rush, and at 2:30 PM. That being said, I really had a great time. I had a special need for time to write a long letter, and it was gracefully granted, with lots of smiles and attentive service. Many... more

Let me start by saying I have eaten here twice before and it was excellent….so you can understand my surprise at being so disappointed today. Two of us were here for lunch, the place was very busy, server was very nice, house wine, a Malbec was excellent. But the food…well let’s just say that they can, and have done much... more

I live in St. John's, and have been to the Gypsy Tea Room many times, both in their old and new locations, both on Water Street. It's a shame that this restaurant just can't seem to live up to its potential. The building is beautiful, the menu is outstanding, the service is lousy and the food is hit or miss.... more

Food was decent when it came, service a bit slow but it was busy on that Sunday. I found the portion size a bit small but the others at my table were satisfied as they ordered... more

My husband and I were looking for a good place to eat and we had come across a phanflet of The Gypsy Tea Room. We decided to check it out before we had made reservations. As we went inside the staff were sitting down at the bar and standing around with the manager included. Not one person said hello, and... more

The new Gypsy Tea Room now resides in what used to be the liquor store in the historic Murray Premises. They did a very nice job with the renovation and it is a lovely restaurant and bar. When you enter you go through a bar area which is very nicely designed, with glass walls on one side of the area... more
