| While visiting my girlfriend in St John's for the Valentines Day weekend this year, she had made reservations at the Press and Bean. I hadn't known what to expect but was extremely impressed by the service from the time we had walked in the door. Everything was so very professional from the atmosphere, staff, service and right down to the food and it's preparation. My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and they were more than happy to accomodate her requests. Before the meal started the waiter had brought over a plate with 3 very large chocolate dipped strawberries whcih had been an added touch for the Valentines Day theme. The atmosphere was very cozy and we were able to enjoy a very romantic dinner that evening, one which I will never forget. |

| My husband and I were in St. John's the week of May 1, and we ate at Merlo's on the Friday night. We enjoyed it so much that we went back on Sunday night. The food was exquisite, the service was excellent, the whole experience was delightful. The next time we go to St. John's, we will definitely eat there again. The strawberry salad was unique, the mussels were the best we've ever had, all the food was really well-prepared and delicious. We give Merlo's top rating. |

| This was an amazing restaurant to top off my last day visiting St. John's. Have to say that this was the best dining experience I had in years. The food was nothing but perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and wait staff on the ball and very professional. I didn't think it took a lot of skill to cook mussels until I had them here. Best mussels ever. Even the house wine was great. Meal was delicious from beginning to end. Been telling anyone who visits St. John's to visit this place. A must for all food lovers. |

However we keep coming back to Press and Bean, Torbay Road being our preferred location. The food, service and prices are outstanding. The evening menu selections are amazing, the taste just amazing, and service is always superb. Well done! |

| Hi Mike and Brenda
Just had a meal at your restaurant with two friends and had to let you know how wonderful it was. The food fabulous, service absolutely the best and the atmosphere wonderful. It is so nice to see you doing so well, God knows you deserve it knowing all the hard hands on work you both do. Hope all is well with everything else in your life, I'm sure you are still spoiling your Grandson, are there any more?? Only disappointment in this evening is that you guys weren't there, haven't seen you for so long. I will be back for those coconut shrimp!!!

| A note of thanks. Your restaurant made my first working visit to St. John's a joy. The meals and presentation were superb, but it was the staff, Jeremy and Leah, that made each evening special. I was made to feel more like a visiting friend than just a paying customer. Thanks again, and hopefully see you again soon.

| July 2005, Undoubtely the finest if not the best meal that myself and my wife have eaten. The service was 4 star with friendly staff constantly smiling. Our greatest praise does without a doubt go to the Chef and his staff for the fantastic meal that was prepared and presented so well.
On our next visit to NFLD. will include more than one visit to the Press and Bean........thanks for making our trip great. |

| We had a fantastic time in St. John's while attending the Scott's Tournament of Hearts.
One of our highlights was dining at the Press and Bean. Thank you so much Tammy and Jeremy especially for allowing us to be a little noisy to say the least on Sunday evening.
When I come back to St. John's a visit to The Press and Bean will be on my list of thing to do.
