    Best meal I have eaten in six months. Beautiful decor, incredible cocktails and mocktails, and a menu so good no choice could be the wrong one. Server was attentive and easygoing, a pleasure.

    The food, the ambience and most importantly the service was amazing! The staff is friendly and very respectful when it comes to our preferences. I will definitely go back to enjoy more of their delicious food. The rolls are must try, they are mouth watering. Very happy that I chose LIV for our 14th anniversary.

    The food was amazing. Great prices, for top quality and excellent portion sizes! Our server was super pleasant, and our food and drinks came out quickly. Highly recommend this place , especially if you love Asian inspired cuisine and sushi.

    Only compliant is how cold it always is in there. Adding a fireplace would go a long way.

    Food was incredible. Had the firecracker sushi and tuna for an appetizer. And waguy steaks. Best food in St. John’s. Just a little note.. sat by the door and the cold air was a bit uncomfortable. Food and service made up for it. Will be back for sure.
