- HHelen2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoDiscovered LIV this summer and it’s become one of my favorites. Great food, great service, nice atmosphere. My only complaint is that they removed the salmon sashimi noodles from the menu.  Bao buns are great as are the Sushi rolls. Highly recommend. Go with people who like to share plates.More infoLIV$$$$• Asian• St. John's•4.9

- SStephenToronto / Ontario •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWhat can I say besides an absolutely enjoyable and incredible dining experience. The scallops starter was mind blowing, scallops were perfectly seared and the veggies were sautéd so tenderly, it was as if the chef had nothing else to do other than create this incredible dish. Main courses were both incredible, chicken fettuccini and the blackened salmon. An incredibly light lemon cheesecake topped off one incredible meal. Wine pairings suggested by Julien, from Paris, who was attentive and hilarious! One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in years, we will be back. Bravo, Gypsy Tea Room - you have outdone yourselves!More infoGypsy Tea Room$$$$• Global, International• St. John's•4.6
