Reviews for Braxton's Restaurant & Bar in St. Andrews, NB

Terrible service. The waiter didn't stop by once to ask if we wanted another drink or how our food was. The restaurant was... completely dead at the time. I expect much more from a gourmet restaurant. We had to request our bill even though he alreadytook our plates away and asked if we were finished. We waited almost 20 minutes after we had finished to get our bill and againthe restaurant was not busy! Menu description wasn't accurate. I personally didn't like my meal but my partners meal was verygood. Not worth the price, will not be returning. Read more

Amazing experience at this restaurant. We had the Braxton's platter to start which had a sampling of everything - some of the... best appetizers I've had in a long time. The cocktails, mains, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. Would highlyrecommend if in St. Andrews! Read more

Had a relaxing lunch on the patio overlooking the property. The only annoyance was some car engines left running while checking... in nearby. Read more

Ordered the medium rare chef's cut and seafood risotto, as well as the raspberry mousse dessert. Everything was delicious!

Although the service was a bit slow and the menu was somewhat limited I have to say that I had a very enjoyable time at this... restaurant. The chard broccoli was surprisingly delicious as were the crab cakes. Salads were tasty. Staff was friendly.There's also a kid's menu for the little ones. I think the atmosphere might be one of the larger draws to this restaurant. It'snice to see people miandering about the hotel enjoying a beverage by a table near the fireplace. Read more

Apr 2022 Update. The hotel is quiet. We had the lounge to ourselves. Had an exceptional meal! The chowder was fabulous. The... muscles divine. Lobster roll delicious and once again the creme brulee Beyond fantastic. Aug 22: The creme Brule and Mai Taiwere exceptional. The beet salad and crab cake were ok. Very expensive. Read more

Always a great spot. One of the best in hotel restaurants in the province. It completes a well rounded stay at this beautiful... hotel. I adore the crab cakes! A limited menu but what they do they do well! Fresh and unique dishes and I haven't beendisappointed yet. Read more

Feeling a great need to escape following a hard winter locked in the house, we escaped to the Algonquin Resort in picturesque... St. Andrews, NB. Needing time to relax, we didn?t even leave the hotel and ate all of our meals at the hotel?srestaurant/bar. As there were relatively few people in the hotel, it was easy to just drop in without reservations. We chose toeat in the bar as we needed a ?baño de gente? as my Spanish spouse calls it. Literally a ?bath of people?, we needed to feelthe atmosphere with people around. Also, the bar had a nice fireplace. Gas but realistic feeling. First, the staff areincredibly with the polish one would expect from a restaurant of this nature. Friendly and engaging wish just the right amountof attention without feeling over bearing. Meals arrived with good timing and nice presentation. Quality was good. Not greatlike I would have expected for the place and price. However, we were not disappointed with the meals. So while all was wellwith the meal, I feel the prices were too high relative to fine dining in other locations. Yes, I understand hotel restauranthave an added markup and many times I opt to pay rather than leave the hotel. However, it was just a little higher than I feltit merited. For example, my $40 seafood risotto was good. Not great as I expected for this price. The bottle of wine we orderedone night was about triple the cost from the liquor store. The other negative for me was to see two tip lines on the bill. Onejust labeled tip and the other labelled something like kitchen tip. It is a well known fact that in North America restaurantsare trying to up the percentages of tips as a way to supplement wages paid, not for rewarding good service, as a tip should be. If a restaurant wants to recognize cook staff, then have tips split. However, the best way to recognize all staff, especiallychefs, is to pay them well. In a tourist country like Spain, hardly anyone tips. It is because they pay their staff a goo Read more
