I am happy to read the highly positive reviews. After many successful experiences at SSG, my last time was a disaster. Perhaps it was just a bad day all around...me included. I have had some amazing meals here and am now looking forward to returning! The ambiance has always been a highlight of the dining experience.

The place has a nice feel to it. It's too bad it isn't backed up by really top notch service and value for the money. Our waiter seemed very snooty and abrupt with us. Who knows maybe a bad day, bad night - everyone has one. But it turned us off ever returning! Food was overpriced for what it was. Portions are decent but the taste just didnt justify the price.

For many years this was one of our favourite restaurants, service had been good and the food was usually good. I find the ambiance only so-so. We would go for anniversaries or birthdays a couple times a year. We've sent many people there with high recommendations. So it was with lovely anticipation that we went there last night for my mother's 60th birthday.

When I called to make reservations for the party, I waited on hold for over 6 minutes. I hung up & called back, then was miraculously handled right away (I think they'd forgotten I was on hold). Then I had to negotiate in order to get separate bills for our party of 10 and have them accept any Entertainment Cards. While having to "get special permission" from the manager to do this seemed excessive, he gave us a limit of 3 coupons for the entire table, of which we only used 2 - this seemed reasonable.

Things started fine, though they were very slow to bring the bread. The starters were fine. Then the meals came, all EXCEPT for one. Manager said there'd been an accident in the back, her dish had been spilled, it would only be 4 minutes. Fine.

The promised 4 minutes was more like 15 minutes!! My poor aunt had to just sit there while we all ate our meals. I had the braised pork, which was tasty, but there was very little rice, which was poorly cooked, some hard and crunchy, some mushy! We all shared some of our meals with her (it would be cruel otherwise). By the time her meal arrived, we were almost done ours. She had the seafood hot pot, which again was tasty, but was very watery - more like a soup. Then we all had to sit while she got to eat her meal, however due to the nibbling, she wasn't able to finish even half of it. This was awkward for everyone.

We were all surprised when her bill arrived and she was charged full price. I brought it to the manager's attention, and he said "Well, I did you a favour by splitting the bills AND accepting the coupons". My reply was to thank him, but that had no effect or benefit to her, she did not use a coupon. He looked at me, stiffened, said "Fine", snatched her bill from the table and stormed off in a huff. She was given 1/2 price for the entree. The waitress tried to justify his actions. He continued to either glare at me, then when I saw him, he'd pointedly look away, as we went about paying our bills and leaving.

The reason I went through the trouble of bringing this to the manager is because it was going to affect the waitress's tip otherwise. It was not her fault, so I didn't think she should suffer for it. It was management's responsibility to make a mistake of this magintude right to their customer - a simple, sincere apology (his was VERY insincere), and even $5 off her bill would have mollified her and us. However 1/2 price with a bad attitude will ensure that none of us will ever return again. For the prices they charge (my bill came to $80 for myself & my son) one expects a little more. A true shame!

It's an unassuming, almost uninviting place from the street but very cosy inside.... The street that it takes its name from might be the worst thing about it.

It took us a moment to adjust to the warm orange lighting but it works and the room temperature was perfect for the season. Our table was small and central but not unprivate. I was a bit surprised to see some wine stains on my chair though.

Service was great and we didn't wait for a thing. We were seated right away and my water glass was always full thanks to some invisible waiter. My wife's salad showed up on two plates from my comment that I might have a taste, the waitress anticipated and offered perfectly on that and everything else.

The Caesar salad was absolutely awesome, the bread was good. I had the braised beef and mostly enjoyed it although it came with broccoli, mushrooms, rice; foods that I'm not crazy about. Probably won't get that next time. My wife (and I, heheh) had the Tagliatelle and it was incredible. For dessert my wife (a baker, pastry chef) had the chocolate torte and was humming mm,mmm,mmm until it was done. Reasonably priced and decadent, save some room. Her advice was to eat the torte fast before it cools. My Monte Cristo coffee was excellent and was measured generously, get a regular coffee if caffeine is what you're after. :-)

I was served by the manager/head waiter personally and felt like royalty! A very upbeat and positive individual he is! I enjoyed the appetizers and the main course was awesome, the waiter kept coming to check on me. He was doing this throughout my visit and I can honestly say that if there is a more attentive staff anywhere I'd wouldn't go there! The food was fabulous as was the wine! I'll be back when I want to be an attention hog! Nice Decor!

I have had the absolute pleasure of dining at Saint St. Grill for about 5 years now. My wife and I love the food, the staff, and the ambiance. We eat there at least 3 time per month and are never dissappointed. I particularly like the fact that the menu changes seasonally, so I can enjoy new favorites for a few months and then just when I am wanting for something new, out comes a new menu. The daily specials are great when I can pull myself away from my menu favorites.

On rare occassions when I have found the food to be below expectations, I feel very comfortable in letting the manager know and he has always been very proactive in making things right. For example, recently I enjoyed a wonderful seafood broth that was a little more spicy than I had expected (but still yummy). While I loved the soup, I let the manager know that it was on the spicy side. I noticed that from that point on during the evening, all the servers added that it was "spicey". This is the kind of care that I expect from a restaurant.

I often see the chef come to check with the patrons, something that I have experienced in very few restaurants. He really seems to value our opinion, and on several occasions has asked if we have noticed subltle changes that he has made. I almost feel as though I have a personal chef.

I love the fact that the restaurant is on the entertainment card and that they do not punch the card - it can be used over and over again. The food is a good value without the entertainmnet card, but with the card, the value is out of this world!

We often celebrate family birthdays and use up to three entertainment cards. The only stipulation seems to be that we all have to be on one bill... Seems fair enough to me.

Definately try the bread (baked fresh in the restaurant daily). I am always torn between the mussels (with the ever changing sauces) or the caesar salad (extra dressing - yummy). My current favorite entree is the braised pork (perfect to warm me up on a cold evening). I love the creme brulee to finish off the evening.

I use to work as a hotel concierge in a leading Vancouver hotel, and in that position I enjoyed free food at just about every top restaurant in Vancouver. I have experienced some of the best that Vancouver has to offer. Saint St. Grill is definately our hidden Port Moody gem.

My wife and I went here on our wedding anniversary, Aug 14, 2008, a warm Thursday evening and sat outside on the patio.

We booked our table a few daya in advance and was glad in a way as the place was pretty full. The menu is rather limited and the main thing is prices are far too high for the quality of food they serve.

We had their muscles to begin our meal which were OK. I had lamb rack which was OK too, though nothing special for main course. My wife had to settle for their stuffed chicken, which again, was nothing special.

At least we know that this restaurant falls below par for sure and will not be returning. We really only went here to judge this place for ourselves and concur with the majority of other writers. This place tries to be a fine dining place in part of the Lower Mainland that has little to offer in that area.

Good place and a memorable dining experience. It does remind you that the suburbs are quickly gaining more of a “city” feel.

The inside of the restaurant is a bit too eclectic, and the lighting does interfere with the appearance of the food. What are they hiding? However, it does present a certain charm.

Decent selection of wine, but only bottled beer available - very disappointing for those who enjoy a good pint of draft beer during a night out. I refuse to wine about this while eating.

The menu encourages diners to try new things as it presents game and more exotic fish that more conservative pallets may find agreeable - although I thought the couscous fad was over with. Not that I have anything against couscous and its partner in trendiness – cilantro.

The Entertainment Book coupon usage is reflected in the pricing, but that is ok. It makes it a good value.

I have visited this place 3 times and will return. Give it a shot.

The interior decor gives mix-match atmosphere. The worst thing was the dark red lights which makes it very hard to see what I was eating.

I was there with a birthday party - table for 10. I ordered the Veal Rack - unfortunately it was full of FAT and the sauce wasn't flavourful at all!!! It was over $30 for the dish and it was definitely not worth it. I shared a rare beef dish and it was too salty! The birthday girl ordered the Poach Snapper, she was very disappointed with her dish as there is not much flavour. No one from the party totally raved about their dishes...nothing too impressive for the price for the dishes.

Not worth trying it, unless you want to be disappointed.

Went here for a birthday dinner with 3 people. My lamb was overcooked. We ordered a bottle of wine, and were forced to use cheap and oddly shaped wine glasses. Given their wine list, they should be albe to afford Riedel or Spiegelau glasses.

Bill for the restaurant was hand printed and the service, while pretty good, was stiff/formal.
