Reviews for LIV - Restaurant NL in St. John's, NL
I was very excited to try LIV, as the menu looked quite interesting. The space is lovely, really beautiful decor, and our waiter... was very friendly and attentive. However, the food was disappointing. We went in a group, each ordering at least two things,and between us we had ordered about 3/4 of the menu options, so we really got to try most things. The food was presented well,but it was just underwhelming in flavor, one dish tasting overwhelmingly of burnt broccoli. The dishes were also quite smallportions. We all left still hungry, which is saying something when you're dropping $40-$50 each on your meal. What ultimatelymade the experience unpleasant was that a large party arrived for what appeared to be someone's birthday, and they completelycrowded about half of the restaurant, including where we were seated. They were standing inches from us, and having strangers'backsides in your face while you're trying to eat is not my idea of a good time. We couldn't wait to leave. I imagine you'dhave a nice time here having drinks and a small bite on a night out, but I wouldn't recommend going if you're hungry and want asatisfying sit-down dinner. Read more
Service was so embarrassing. Went with a big group, spent a lot of money on food and alcohol. Left a good tip on the bill and... the server had the nerve to complain that the tip wasn’t enough. We left an 18% tip which is standard, but the server cried itwasn’t enough and demanded more in cash. Disgusting. Won’t be back. Read more
Shared an entirely gluten free meal with friends. Korean chicken and charred broccoli were my favourite! Loved the basil... gimlet! Read more
Not much to say about Liv. The cocktails were delicious, staff was nice, pretty decor and the servers wore cute floral shirts.... The vibe was a bit lacklustre and flat. We had a Smokey the Beer, a scotch and beer blend cocktail; it was nice and wellbalanced. And the Cleopatra’s Bramble, it was quite beautiful and delicious…it was like a really fancy lemonade for adults.The prices were a bit steep but it was a nice place to have a drink and move on.

Found a pile of dust and dirt in my vegetable tempura after eating half of it. The chicken tasted fine but no way to know if... there was dirt in there too, and I ate it all. I'd like to rate the restaurant higher than 1 star but I really can't based onthis experience. It was gross. Read more
Definitely recommend. The food was excellent, the service was amazing and the vibes were incredible. The chef definitely knows... what he’s doing with these Asian inspired fusion dishes. My teenager said she’d move here for the pancake. There is nothingon the menu that I wouldn’t try. Since we were a large party you can refer to the images, each one of the dishes are shareableand incredible. This is a place I can’t wait to visit again, to take my time and really enjoy such a colourful assortment offoods and flavours. The cocktails are also incredibly unique and pair beautifully with their all star menu. We can’t wait tobe in St. John’s again soon! If we can only make time for one restaurant it will be LIV every time! Thanks everyone! Read more
