It's about time there's a fun, funky, tasty place to go after midnight in this city. If you're a night owl, out late and hungry or work strange shifts, you can still eat at Folly until 6 in the morning. I have gone there over a dozen times and while sometimes the service is hit and miss, I still go... more

Decided to give 'Folly' another try since it switched over from 'Tangled'. The decor was pretty much the same as Tangled. The menu was lack-lustre, with a choice from a burger or pizza menu. My wife ordered the wine/pizza combo. The wine serving was pathetic...when I questioned it, I was told all servings were measured...yet the glass that was brought... more

Always a delight to visit Tangled Up in Blue!. A perfect Aussie style place. Casual atomosphere where you could just go in for a coffee on your lunch break or otherwise and must say the best espresso based coffees in town! Having travelled a lot on business and holidays, I have experienced all different styles of espressos'. Must say, Tangled... more

I went for lunch and was highly disappointed. The decor is very sparce, so there is a "tinny" sound to the place. The menu items are all over the place, and I highly doubt even remotely Australian. The food was mediocre at best along with the service. Also no bread baskets offered, I believe you have to pay for this.... more

As an Aussie couple living in St. John's for only 3 weeks, we felt like a bit of good old Aussie food! The menu has a good selection but not a huge range to choose from. They also have a specials board. We ordered the Fat wedges with Sweet Chili sauce & sour cream as a starter. Excellent! I then... more

Tangled up in Blue was a pleasant surprise in the heart of downtown St. John's. In a city where fine dining is of the finest in the world, Tangled more than met any expectations I had. The service was warm and friendly and the food was delicious. The staff immediately made us feel as though we were long-time friends and... more

I went to Tangled Up In Blue yesterday for lunch. The atmosphere was very clean and inviting. The menu had a wide selection and everyone was very pleased with their meals. I have never been to an australian restaurant before and was pleasantly surprised. Even for customers who did not want to venture too far away from their regular meals... more
