    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.

    Last evening, we had another delicious meal at Liv. It has been our favourite St. John's restaurant for the past couple of years. We love that the menu is always evolving, with different choices each time we come. The combination of small plates and mains has always offered something to please our friends, whether we are there as a large group or small. Our server was attentive and friendly. I gave 4/5 stars for food this time because no one was keen on the taste/texture of cream cheese in the sushi. A welcoming dining experience! Warm regards, Sharon

    Good and service were fantastic. Great music and great vibe. The room was absolutely freezing. Wouldn’t go back again in winter or would insist on a table in the back.

    Exceptional food, attentive service, great ambience. It was a Monday night so very quiet. I wouldn’t expect that later in the week but Liv’s food is always extraordinary.

    All food was excellent. As a group of six, we sampled many of the menu items and everything was delicious. The cocktails were also really good. Although it is a January night and we were dressed warmly, the restaurant was pretty chilly and could’ve stood to have the temperature raised a few degrees.
