NORTH 48 BAR & GRILL REVIEW

Hi I’m Andrea,Sommelier and Foodie in St. John’s Newfoundland, the most easterly city in North America and home to a vibrant food and drink community. I’m excited to offer recommendations on great places to eat and other local events of all kinds! 

North 48 is a standout addition to the dining scene in St. John’s, offering a delightful dining experience in a stylish and inviting setting. During our recent visit, we were treated to a feast of fabulous flavours and excellent service that truly elevated our evening. North 48 has over ten appetizer options that will be sure to appeal to everyone. Our Bite Size Adventure began with two delectable appetizers. The Butternut Squash Poquitos offered a unique and delightful twist on traditional poquitos while the Crispy Calamari impressed us all with its perfect texture, light crispy coating and overall flavour. Our dining experience continued with a selection of really beautifully plated dishes served piping hot from the kitchen. The 12-ounce Ribeye Steak showcased expert preparation, served alongside crispy french fries and fresh asparagus with garlic butter, creating a punch of satisfying flavours. The Stacked Cheeseburger and fresh cut fries impressed with an authentic charbroiled taste and the sheer size of the meal which totally surpassed expectation. Finally, the Tuscan Chicken, a dish bursting with a delicious blend of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, cream, and parmesan cheese, was packed with flavour and accompanied by perfectly roasted potatoes and a grilled vegetable medley. They also offer a unique variety of main dishes, pasta dishes, appetizers and desserts. Their menu offers a myriad of options to choose from. To complement our meals, we indulged in two expertly crafted cocktails. The Strawberry Jalapeño Margarita balanced sweet and sour notes with a tantalizing kick of spice…so very refreshing, while the very very well-garnished Caesar cocktail with its attention to detail and taste. I’m always happy to see signature drinks on a menu because it allows the opportunity to taste drinks I may have never heard about before. All of the signature cocktails are unique and look delicious, next time a Blueberry Fog is on my list to try for sure!
The attentive and knowledgeable service provided by Dave our server enhanced our dining experience at North 48. Dave's expertise and recommendations added a personal touch to our meal, reflecting the excellent service standards at North 48.  I think the east end of St. John’s absolutely needed a standout eatery, and, in my opinion it got one! No parking issues here either the parking lot is right in front of the restaurant and a just a hop, skip and a jump to the front door. North 48 is a great place for group or family dinners or just to meet a friend for lunch. Oh yes… their lunch menu boasts all mains for $19.50, it’s quick convenient and downright delicious as it says right on their website! I really liked North 48 overall and will definitely eat there again. You can check out their full menu here at their website: https://north48.net/
