Commissioner Grill is one of the most reliable restaurants in St. John's, situated in the Redcliffe Quay complex. The menu leans into Caribbean Creole cooking — lobster, shrimp, grilled fish with mango salsa, rice and peas, and rotating specials depending on the day's catch. The setting, in a restored colonial warehouse with tables spilling into the courtyard, is among the most pleasant in town.
Prices are reasonable for the quality, and the kitchen handles both local dishes and grilled meats with equal confidence. Popular with both locals and visitors, so booking ahead for dinner is worthwhile during the cruise ship season.
