Back to the restaurant :) We had a great experience! The restaurant is beautiful and we sat upstairs right next to the windows; great view. Service was extraordinary and the food was fantastic. I had a Jam Jam Martini to start, very nice. Myself and Hubby tried three of the apps. I had the Shrimp, which were delicious, would get them again for sure. Hubby had the Cod Fritters, they were excellent as well; and we split an order of Calamari, these were fabulous as well and not overcooked. For mains, I threw all dieting out the window and had the Lobster Mac & Cheese....it was worth it. Hubby had a special; a full perch, yes the full fish with veggies and rice. We even tried dessert. A chocolate flour-less cake, to split :)
Decided to give a new restaurant a try tonight. St. John's Fish Exchange opened up this past Monday and we were looking forward to trying it. For those who follow my blog, I was doing pretty good most of this week, getting back on track but took the weekend off from dieting....again. Plan to get back to it 100% on Monday, because Monday is the only day you can start eating better. Nobody starts eating better on a weekend, pfffft.

I got excited to see your blog…finally someone is doing a blog for the (underrated) seafood capital of North America. I have to admit as much I was excited to read your blog I was more disappointed. Expecting you to be a foodie rather than a food critic. Let me dissect your blog now. I am by no means to undermine your effort but giving you a rather healthy feedback.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog and for all the feedback. I will admit I didn't start this blog to review restaurants, it was more for me to start eating better and feeling better. I thought the blog idea would help me stay motivated and maybe help others who are in the same boat as myself.

I am as well disappointed. I admit I have not read the rest of your blog yet, but will check it out. I would like to know it the Fish Exchange is expensive or was there good value. Lobster Mac and Cheese is so easy to make and inexpensive given the cost of pasta-most restaurants serve pasta dishes because it is cheap to make.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post :) As I stated before my blog is more about healthy eating, eating real food, and my struggles with eating and weight. The restaurant posts are more just add ins. I did post a picture of their menu which has prices, may need to blow up to see fully though :) Thanks again.
