    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.

    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.
