Reviews for The Wine Cellar in Corner Brook, NL
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 thepotatoes and toast. the service did not live up to the White table cloth dining room. Coffee carafe and cups were placed on thetable and server left of up to you to pour your own?. This also happened at dinner on the one night we stayed in - water andwine with appropriate glasses left on the table with no intent of being filled by staff. For the prices charged, I will haveexpected a bit more customer service. Dinner was ok -the temp of the food was cold when it was served to us- should have allbeen hot. Sauces came in plastic containers. Read more
My husband and I went there and he ordered steak, let me tell you it was so ridiculous I was shocked. By the time he cut all... the big chunks of fat off he had nothing left. I told the waitress and she took it to the back to show someone but came rightback with it and basically said that's all they can do. My husband said it had to be the worst steak he ever seen and told thelady he would never come back. They never so much of offered anything else for him. I feel the service was bad. For our nightout and payed $130.00 dollars I was not pleased. Read more
Excellent service, great food.
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 themeals. Service was average. They either need a new chef or the current chef needs proper training /supervision. If they can notoffer 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 notbe returning. Read more
Fun little spot in the basement of an historic Inn. We ordered everything on the appetizer menu to share. It was great.
Excellent find. Was introduced here by a friendly local. Nice cozy atmosphere. Friendly service. We had the cod tongues,... mussels, smoked salmon salad, crusted cod, and finished the meal off with berry cheesecake with yummy spiked coffees. The mealand service was excellent. Well worth the money. Read more
Fish soup is yummy. The shrimp and feta cobb salad was amazing. Scallop appetizer was very good. They had a cod special the... night we were there which was delicious. Lobster cakes have too much filler. Carrot cake and Oreo cookie crust cheese cake wereyummy. Nice atmosphere good service. Definitely worth the money. Read more
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. Theremaining starter (mushroom with crab and cheese), and the mains - seared tuna with rice noodles, and a crab linguine - it'slike they were made by a rookie chef who forgot to add any seasoning whatsoever. When you're at an upscale restaurant, payingupscale prices - you don't expect to hear everyone around you asking the servers for salt. Yet that's exactly what washappening - including ourselves. The dishes simply had no flavor. It's not that I like overly salty foods either - the dishescould have benefited from citrus and other spices to brighten them up, and add some depth. It's no fun spending nearly $200 ona meal you can barely choke down. I expect a lot better from a place that bills itself as high-end. Read more
