Incredible food experience at Gusto's. The atmosphere is energetic, amazing food, huge portions and great menu. Big shout out to our server, Emma. She was amazing. Very friendly and attentive. This place is great for entertaining clients, and the best spot for sharing apps. Oh, and make sure you save room for dessert...or take home like I always do. The homemade cheesecake is like no other. Trust me, you will never be disappointed with your meal here !!!🍛👏👌For a team event, I purchased a cheese cake....it was a huge hit 🍰🥮

Great evening at Gusto as always. The food is delicious and well seasoned. Nice selection of wines and drinks. The atmosphere and service are perfect. And we always end up taking the dessert to go... Large and amazing piece of cake!

We love Gusto. Go there fairly often. Was there last weekend and last night with a group of friends. Food was amazing as always. We had Kim as a waitress. She’s so sweet and an awesome waitress. Thank you Kim. The Strongs. 👍

This place is amazing. My kids and i have made it our tradation to stop by after magic mountain every summer. The food is amazing, so is the service. They even hooked us up with a free dessert since we told them it was tradition! We will be back any time we are in town! Thanks Gusto!

Overall, the impression of the establishment is good, thanks to its modern interior. The size of the venue is impressive, with two floors. The first floor has VIP tables and a small open area, while the second floor features a large open space with a big bar and an open kitchen. If you don't like it when it's noisy, the second floor is not for you, and if you want to have a conversation, it's not ideal either 😅 The menu is excellent, but there is a lack of non-alcoholic beverages. There were only two sweet cocktails in the main menu, which is not great for such a restaurant. We ordered risotto and pepperoni pizza, and both dishes were very tasty and lived up to our expectations. As for the downsides of the evening, the unexpected letdown was the waitress who served our table. When I asked for non-alcoholic wine, the waitress reacted as if she didn't know it existed. Then I asked her about the non-alcoholic drink options since there were only two cocktails listed in the main menu. However, she pointed to the same cocktails and said that was all they had. It turned out they had coffee as well, but unfortunately, no one informed me about it when I asked for non-alcoholic options. And when I asked if they had tiramisu, she didn't respond and just said she would better bring me a dessert menu (which didn't include tiramisu). There was a small incident with our drink, and the manager came to our table and said they would replace it. However, the waitress approached us after about 10 minutes and asked if we wanted to replace it with the same drink or another one, which confused us because the manager had already told us they would replace it with the same one and bring it soon. In the end, after those 10 minutes, we had to wait for another 10-15 minutes. She didn't even smile much, which was very strange. I haven't experienced something like this before. Overall, such service is not acceptable, and it spoils the positive impression of the restaurant. I came to the restaurant with a smile and in a good mood, but I left in a bad mood on my birthday. However, the rest of the staff seemed very pleasant and friendly. Therefore, overall, I recommend this place.

We had a phenomenal super last night !! Thank you to all the staff who made it possible. We couldn't ask for better, the steak and chicken was cooked just right, the taste was amazing and the waitress was fabulous

This is by far the best moxies I have visited. Definitely my favourite. Awesome atmosphere. The staff are all wonderful. Especially Ashley, Jesika, Steph and Marianna behind the bar. The kitchen absolutely crushes every meal. Managers Kat and Sherrie were fabulous! 10/10 I will visit this restaurant every time I am in Moncton.

I took pictures of my food so I could share it with all my fellow Google review readers. I don’t want to say I’m a hero but…it’s implied 😛 Highly recommend the roasted tomatoes & whipped feta appetizer, and the tuna poke bowl was super filling. Pro tip - you can get mini versions of the desserts so you can pretend you’re going to share them with your date, and eat 2 desserts on your own without feeling judged by society!

Always love going here. Had the chicken cashew lettuce wraps and loved them!! Inside is cool, the patio is beautiful too. And lots of parking!
Amanda Burke
What a great spot. The food was amazing. Waitress was engaging. She came back a few times to make sure everything was good.

Sophisticated mainstay offering refined seafood & steak entrees, plus an oyster bar & wine pairings.
Reviews:
Don't be fooled (or nervous) by the exterior of the building! This is truly a diamond in the rough (building). Exceptional food with great presentation. Our waiter has been there since they opened 21 years ago. Not only is it hard to stay in business that long in the restaurant world but it's even harder to keep wait staff!!! That says a lot about management. The food tastes better than the photos look😋 Come to Moncton just for this restaurant!
Sally Shapiro
We had an amazing 6 course meal. The whole experience was beautiful and we are definitely going back. Our server Youssef was elegant and professional but also very kind. His expertise was impressive as well.
Gabrielle Gauthier
Such a pleasure to go there! A true hiding gem. Food is exquise. Ambiance is always on point. They have the best wine selection. Service is one of the best and more thoughtful in Moncton. Worth the price & the visit! Highly Recommend.

Unreal!! Best meal I’ve had in a long time (Lobster Pasta) New favourite in Moncton :-)
Jeremy Kitchen
One of the best fine dining experiences we've had in a long time! The food was fresh and flavourful plus the staff was attentive and pleasant. Highly reccomend to anyone who enjoys the finer things on your plate. The price point is appropriate and very fair. They started us off with un amuse-bouche (bisque with homemade fried papardelle), then we shared the foie gras and local oysters au naturel. For our main we had the surf and turf and ended the evening with crème brûlée. The sauce and spice parings were spot on with no substitutions or additions needed. Everything was truly perfect! Thank you Little Louis 👌

Tide & boar gastropub
4.4
(1774)
Buzzing spot with a rustic-chic vibe serving elevated spins on comfort eats, plus classic cocktails.
Reviews:
Tide & Boar is a great Gastropub, there are two locations, one right beside the Delta, and another roughly 1 to 2 km away both with very unique menus. They usually have very interesting beers with a wide range of options. We tried their burger from the last burger fest and we’re quite happy with it. This location is great for fish and chips. Scotch egg burgers and what have you. There are lots of seating options, and we would generally recommend that you make a reservation to be sure that you have yourself a spot. It’s possible to buy some of their beers to go as well.

The food and service here was great. All of our servers recommendations were phenomenal. We had the Tuna Tostada, Cheese Board, and Tide & Boar Salad, as well as a cocktail and a beer flight. No complaints about any of them. The tuna was fresh and tender, and I liked every beer in my flight. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a romantic night out or a casual dinner with friends. The service was impeccable and attentive and so friendly. We watched as they worked to accommodate patio guests during a sudden downpour. Overall, an excellent experience.

Heard good things about this place and it lived up to the expectations! The mango was a great addition to the mango poke. The beeramisu and cheesecake (subtle peanut taste) was amazing. The food was ready fast but the service was a tiny bit slow (grabbing our orders and bill) even though it wasn’t super busy. I would definitely recommend!

Visited this location today and chose a nice shaded area on the outdoor patio. Atmosphere is nice, it smelled divine because they were smoking meat just a few meters away from my table at the back of the patio. Server was kind and courteous, the food was served quickly. I specifically asked for a salad instead of fries and that my burger be served without lettuce (I was trying to avoid anything overly carby) but was served a burger with lettuce and with fries. I advised the server that my order wasn't right. It was quickly resolved, yet the fries remained, which were begrudgingly eaten because they were in front of me. That being said, the fries were perfectly crisp and the Tide and Boar salad had a wonderful range of flavors thanks to the grilled vegetables and granola. The burger left much to be desired though. While the chicken breast was flavourful, it was uneven which resulted in a nice, juicy and tender side, while the larger side was very dry. This was my first visit to this establishment. The food was good enough for me to warrant another visit to try something else off the menu.

Great stop right off Main St, with a nice big patio. It was our server Paul that made it an exceptional experience, helping us plan the next lag of our journey. Food was pretty good! Parmesan Fish was delish, slaw was a little sad, but the T&B salad was really nice! Lots of great beer options!

Amazing, authentic and delicious. The warm atmosphere, the food was excellent and the service was amazing

It was my first time trying this restaurant after trying almost all the other Asian restaurants in town. This one is definitely my new favorite! I had the soup to start, it looks a bit underwhelming but really packs a punch, delicious and authentic. The broth has some great depth of flavor. I then ordered the Thai Curry Chicken for my main. Delicious! Very creamy and all kinds of great flavor. It brought me right back to my time in Thailand and Vietnam. I didn't have a chance to appreciate the atmosphere until I went to leave. It's a really cool spot! They have all kinds of little wooden shelters and stuff that really makes you feel like you're outside eating food in SEA. I'll definitely be back and strongly recommend!

Today was my first time here. Food tastes very good. The place looks clean and pretty. Kitchen staff was very nice, and i feel like their speed was kinda fast even though it was busy. I will give 5 stars for the things i said above. But the owner need to know that the server - the curly hair girl - is not good. I don't know how to describe it. I understand that the restaurant was busy and she was the only server, i don't need her to smile all the time, but her attitude was kinda rude. I know she didn't mean it, but it looked kinda racist to me. The other girl in the kitchen had to help her bring the food out, they had to handle more things than her but their attitude was very nice, i mean i just asked her few questions but her attitude was so different, so much nicer than the server. I suggest that the owner need to have a talk with her about her behavior.
Jun Xiaome
Excellent food served in great portions at a fair price! I'm fairly certain there was a restaurant by this name back when I lived in Fredericton 10+ years ago and I remember the food was amazing. It is! Cooked perfectly and no complaints about price and portion size from me! I'll try to convince my family to join me the next time they come down!

We came from PEI to shop for the day and I'm so happy we stopped in to Saigon Thai. We ordered a few dishes and everything we had was absolutely delicious- fresh, light, and flavourful. The Pad Thai was my favourite (good Thai restaurants don't exist in PEI). Can't wait to return next time we're in Moncton!

Traditional comfort food & all-day breakfast in a homey diner dating from the 1960s.
Reviews:
They have amazing breakfast for the price. service is awesome. It has a cozy warm Vibe and the waitresses greet you with a smile. They seem very happy to serve you. I am probably going to go back. I love the bacon and eggs with the pan fries everything was cooked to my liking. I would recommend this breakfast spot if you're nearby.

Good experience. Staff was friendly. Lobster Roll Deluxe: It was a pleasant blend of texture. The toasted bread gave it a good warm crunch paired well with the cool fresh lobster. Overall, it was a refreshing plate and a great take on the classic lobster roll. Lobster Benedict: The lobster flavour was overpowered by the hollandaise sauce. The eggs were tasty and potatoes cooked with onions were a hit. Presentation was well done. I wouldn’t come back for the Lobster Benedict but definitely for the Lobster Roll Deluxe. Overall a pleasant experience.

(forgive me for the steak being eaten a bit in the photo i was hungry) i like this place! every now and then i come here to get one of their to-go meals, they are both affordable and delicious. this time i got to come here to dine in for breakfast. the waitress that greeted me and my ma was nice, seemed to be in a bit of a hurry but i don't blame her. food service is a tough job. she was as welcoming and cheerful she could be, though! i was also NOT expecting that i'd get an entire (small) teapot for breakfast, but it warmed me up well. i'll be honest that i was hesitant to come have breakfast here since the prices for it are a bit high. i usually can't afford stuff like this but i did come anyway and boy they did not disappoint at the size of the dish i've been eyeing on. it's quite hefty, and it comes with two slices of toast! the steak and eggs were cooked to my request, medium-rare and scrambled. it is nothing fancy and i appreciate that, it's nice to enjoy simplicity every once in a while. the food is plain but hey, you get to season it with as much salt and pepper you need. the potatoes (and extra onions) were delicious. surprisingly, the steak goes super well with some cranberry sauce and ketchup (that didn't come with the dish, it's there because i was curious if it worked together). the atmosphere in the restaurant is quite homely and warm, old-fashioned but honestly i like old-fashioned lmao. reminds me of what i grew up with. really want to come again during dinnertime some day, the options were more plentiful and diverse.
Tuan Tran
Very impressed by the quality of food. They even went out other way to make a healthy fish burger for me with salad.

After reading the reviews, I was disappointed with the service I received at this well known place. Arrived shortly after 11am and greeted with a smile, it was not busy when we arrived. Since it was after 11am I was informed pan fries would be extra 4.79 to my breakfast order. We surprisingly were never checked in on by our waitress who walked by multiple times. I did not receive the straw I asked for with my water and the orange juice tasted thin and watered down. My partner got the hot Turkey Sandwich with pan fries on the side, which ended up being flavourless and underdone with lots of onions. Over all - bang for your buck wasn’t great here. Will not be back.

Pump house - brewpub & restaurant
4.5
(2208)
Casual, convivial brewpub known for its wide selection of house-brewed craft beer & comfort food.
Reviews:
This place is bigger than it appears. Busy when arrived but sat quickly. The food was good. Would have liked an option for a veggie burger but the mussels with beer bread was really good. Did an interesting beer flight of craft beer and cocktails. For example lemoncello with beer. Was very good.
Donna B
Delicious food, tasty beer. Very impressed with how homemade the beverages and dough is. I got the honey chicken burger with salad and I was totally satisfied! Smells great inside because of the fresh pizza in the stone oven. Staff was very friendly.
Rebecca M Granter
Great service and excellent food at reasonable prices. I recommend Pump House BrewPub. We enjoyed the Baked Brie, Fish n Chips upgraded to Sweet Potatoe Fries and my wife enjoyed the Chicken Fetachinni Alfredo. She said the chicken was the best she ever had!
Steve Knights
A wonderful and yummy experience. The staff are extremely friendly. The wings, the burgers. Delicious

8oz steaks are a disappointment for this pub; definitely on the cheap side for slabs of meat and very thin. Asked for a medium rare but because of how thin it is, they had trouble getting that red center and got it closer to medium-well which was unfortunate and quite dry. Won't be ordering another steak if I frequent this place again. Service was also relatively slow, though to be fair it was quite packed for a Thursday night. Closing notes, there's other places to go if you're looking for beer and lunch. They may have great beer, but as such they also sell it to other pubs in the area and it'll taste just as good.
