Enjoyed a great meal with friends. Our server was amazing knew the menu really well was engaging and funny and made our evening a joy.The layout of the Restaurant takes full advantage of the harbour view with tables along the window and large raised comfortable booths behind them.We were a party of 4 and were seated in one of the booths on the upper floor and were extremely comfortable.Three in our party had the Southwest Inspired Seafood Chowder Corn, Potatoes, Carrots, and Bacon with Seasonal Seafood in a Spiced Creamy Broth. Delicious .. one of the best chowder I have had.As a main I had the Lacey's Burger...4 oz Pork and Beef Patty with BBQ Sauceand Smoked White Cheddar on a House-made Bun with Roasted Garlic Aioli, Caramelized Red Onion Relish and Vu House-smoked Pork Belly. Served with a Chicharron-coated Dill Pickle and Fries on the side.The burger was wonderful, very rich and delicious. My only comment would be the Bun was smaller then I would like.Two of our party had 8oz Pan Seared Tenderloin with Roasted Brown Butter Brussels and Garlic Smashed Potatoes with Chive Aioli. Served with Demi and Herbed Butter. The Tenderloin was cooked as desired and was very good.The final person in our party enjoyed the Hickory Smoked Blackened Double Bone-in Pork Chop with Loaded Mash Potatoes, Roasted Corn Salsa, Broccolini, Chipotle Root Beer BBQ Sauce. The chop was huge and delicious.Over all the evening and the meal at VU was wonderful and I would highly recommend it.

First time last night for a date night and we sample many small plates and had mains. Everything was delicious, cooked almost perfect except my steak, it was perfect. I would have loved a few flakes of sea salt would have made it heavenly.Great view and the service was from I believe Monica and she was fantastic. Parking was a plus as well, especially during the winter when the snow piles are 6 ft high.

Fantastic food and great service. The view at Vu is just the icing on the delicious cake. One of my fave local restaurants (shout-out Get Stuffed) recently closed and Vu has become my new go-to. The honey Buffalo chicken sandwich is perfection. The fish and chips is fantastic (the pieces of cod are massive). Get the classic margarita- you won’t be disappointed. Also special shout-out to the man that manages the parking lot- such a gem. You don’t go unnoticed.

One word for this place: delicious. This was the first place we ate at in St. John's when we visited and we were super impressed. It came recommended by a local friend. The food was excellent and you really can't beat the view - gorgeous. I had the Lobster pasta and my partner had the cod. We also had a couple of drinks and finished things off with the peanut butter cheesecake. Would definitely return!

Lovely restaurant with a good view of the harbour. The staff are extremely nice and welcoming with great service. The menu is not too big and not too small, with good choices. The drinks menu is good with a very good wine list.I arrived early at 17:25, just after it opened and there were people in the which did create a good atmosphere. I would recommend booking if on a weekend or a later sitting.If you’re in St Johns then I would recommend to dine here.

Busy restaurant for lunch and seems popular with the business crowd. We were lucky to get in without a lunch reservation. Service was great with no problems. The dining area is naturally lit during the day with a wall of windows to the harbour. Booths have plexiglass partitions between them. Ordered the Cast Iron Baked Brie, Fish & Chips, and NL Savoury Crispy Cod Sandwich. The baked brie was very good with blueberries, bacon, and fried onions. The fried onions would sometimes dominate the taste though. The crispy cod was good, not overly salted, and large enough for lunch. The fish and chips were excellent. Nicely browned, tender, and flavourful. Served with a tartar sauce and a spritzer of vinegar. Chips were well done and not overly salty which was appreciated. Overall a very nice experience.

We went for lunch. The servers were super nice and polite and we got served right away.The food was bland, the rice was undercooked and the cod was grainy and overcooked. The flavor combinations were odd and the carrots were a strange mix of sweet and spicy. Will not go again. The prices were high for what you get and there are other options in the city that have much higher quality for the price.

Nice fresh new look, beautiful views of the harbour! Tonight we had a fantastic meal; beef tartar, calamari, tenderloin steaks and the pan seared cod! Everything was fantastic, great service, and the meal was quite reasonable. The steaks were cooked perfectly with an amazing marrownaise. The steak eaters thought it was far better than their last steak at the Keg, We will definitely be back!

First time at Vu and it was great meal. Four of us went there on a Thursday night in January. Service was spot on and the wait staff were excellent. There were a few menu items missing. We really wanted to try the bone-in pork chop but we were told it was not available. This wasn't told to us until after we placed our order. Should have told us in advance. I had the seafood chowder and the strip steak and my wife had the spicy sweet potato soup and the fish & Chips. Our 2 friends both ordered the salmon as their main. All were exceptional! If there was a small complaint, the F&C was under a heat lamp for a time as the chips were a bit on the soggy side. All in all it was a great meal and I would recommend them. By the way, the Vu was fabulous❗️
