We arrive at 7:45pm for our reservation. We left close to 11pm. Waiter was non-existent. Had to ask for him three times. We were going to leave before we even ordered the apps. because we we never greeted for at least 10 minutes. The waiter finally took the apps. order and never came back for our dinner order. An app.... more

This restaurant perhaps was number 1 once upon a time, but not now, they have to try their neighbours to find out how to serve quality food with exceptional service. more

It was a cut beyond most restaurants I have ever been in. Dishes were excellent, truly excellent. Staff were not in your face. Beautiful place. It wasn't crowded which was odd. more

We went last year for a pre-countdown dinner on New Year's Eve. There were 8 in our party and I'm a vegetarian and another friend is a vegan. And for anyone who has tried, its very difficult to feed a vegan in St. John's. We asked the waiter taking our orders what options were available to a vegan, not expecting... more

I have scanned down through the reviews. Portion size? Tell the server you want more. I can't imagine being charged for it. If there is something not quite what you would expect, mention it to the server. Tastes differ. I had a friend from Texas once and watched him barbecue steak. He would put his on the grill for maybe... more

Terrific food using local sources-great fish. Even if you're on a budget, this would be the place to splurge on one fine dining experience! more

We fine dine quite often, but this is the first time we have visited Bianca's. I was nervous because of some of the bad reviews. However, atmosphere was nice, service great, appetizer was tantalizing and the main course was exquisite. Even my cocktail was perfect (so I had 2). Expect the price for fine dining but this is not the... more

A 7:30 reservation turned into a 3+ hour meal. We didn't get our food until 9pm. While the food was tasty, the waitstaff didn't smile once. They didn't refill our water glasses. They didn't offer us any more bread (we had to get up and ask for it) and they didn't really apologize for the long wait. Not the type... more

For anyone who likes chicken. If you a order chicken breast, you will only get a chicken breast on a piece of lettuce. If you want rice, salad, or anything else with this, you wil have to order this separately and pay extra for it. It is way too expensive. All you pay for is the presentation and not the... more

The food is excellent, if not stellar. But the plate presentation is like the restaurant layout and ambiance - pretentious. It's about being able to see others and be seen by others. Pass. I only recommend to foodies from out of town. more
