Went here to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. There was a group of 8. Seven of the eight meals were subpar. The cod was not fresh, the steak was pitiful...no flavour. The pasta was not edible The appetizers were good. Not great but better than the meals. Service was average. They either need a new chef or the current chef needs proper training /supervision. If they can not offer fresh cod in NL they should take it off the menu. The bill was over $500 and it definitely was not worth it. I will not be returning.

Great service (the only reason I'm giving it a second star). The food LOOKS spectacular... But it's like they forgot to season everything. We both ordered starters and mains. Of the four dishes, the duck confit was excellent and perfectly seasoned. The remaining starter (mushroom with crab and cheese), and the mains - seared tuna with rice noodles, and a crab linguine - it's like they were made by a rookie chef who forgot to add any seasoning whatsoever. When you're at an upscale restaurant, paying upscale prices - you don't expect to hear everyone around you asking the servers for salt. Yet that's exactly what was happening - including ourselves. The dishes simply had no flavor. It's not that I like overly salty foods either - the dishes could have benefited from citrus and other spices to brighten them up, and add some depth. It's no fun spending nearly $200 on a meal you can barely choke down. I expect a lot better from a place that bills itself as high-end.

This review is for the dining room off the lobby of the Glynmill Inn. We had breakfast included with our stay. Somewhat disappointed in the meals. Yogurt and fruit - yogurt was commercial grade and the fruit bowl consisted of pineapple, melon, grapes, melon, and apple. Blueberries are in season - why not use seasonal fresh fruit? Eggs and bacon were ok as were the potatoes and toast. the service did not live up to the White table cloth dining room. Coffee carafe and cups were placed on the table and server left of up to you to pour your own. This also happened at dinner on the one night we stayed in - water and wine with appropriate glasses left on the table with no intent of being filled by staff. For the prices charged, I will have expected a bit more customer service. Dinner was ok -the temp of the food was cold when it was served to us- should have all been hot. Sauces came in plastic containers.
