I don't recommend this restaurant at all! I tried the bison dish and it was good. However, the owner/waiter was very rude. The customer service was awful. The owner behaviour lacked professionalism and felt discriminatory.
Local, local and more local. And an excellent Canadian wine list from both Southern Ontario and Okanagan. Beet salad, paella, boreal forest cake, all most excellent along with sunstone brewed coffee. Friendly knowledgeable service.
Great food, awful service. I tried the bison and future soup and it was great, but the waiter (who was in jeans and I assume is the owner) was really rude when we paid and said that he would not accept my foreign credit card (which did was accepted by the machine once we tried), he even pulled it from my hand. Felt a bit discriminated. This is the worst service I've experience in Winnipeg since I arrived... but the bison was good!
Unbelievably tasty boutique restaurant on Academy! So tasty I went twice last week. I had the pickerel cheeks, the bison steak and apple crumble. For me to leave a restaurant full is rare but that's because a lot of food these days is filled with preservatives. This is REAL FOOD so it fills you up. The tastes are unbelievably fresh.I've never had Juniper slaw before and now that I have, I wish it was this instead of Frank's that was on everything.Cooked to perfection, great ambience, helpful and wonderful staff. I'll be back many times over.
First time trying this restaurant and did so as takeout. The food was incredible! I had the gnocchi and the flavours all worked so well together. When I am in town again I will definitely try something else from here. Highly recommend!!
When considering cost and current reviews - Underwhelming.Service was equally the same - after asking me if I needed a hand with the wine list, I was told the bottle I was inquiring about would taste like “the grapes that were listed”. Maybe my communication was poor, but that didn’t help me.The other staff member had inaccurate views about what they were serving, telling me a petite tender was also called a “butchers cut”… a petite tender and and hanger are not the same cut. Please reference a butchery chart or consult with your kitchen staff before service. Having serving staff try to tell me I’m wrong about something I’ve spent more than my fair share of time around left a really bad taste in my mouth (see what I did there)…. but seriously a major turn off when staff try to pull that.The beet salad was the best dish our table tried. The beets were grilled, the cornmeal croutons are great with the almond ricotta. Solid spring salad!Staff was accommodating with portions for sharing - we ordered five apps and four entrees for a table of four… something we ordered only came with three portions typically, they adjusted and brought four instead. I appreciated that.Everyone’s entree came with the same vegetables, which again, at this price point and considering the reviews, was an underwhelming surprise. I expect that with a catered lunch, but not with a $50 plate at dinner. My bison entree was lacking in salinity and my smashed potatoes were oily. My family members grass-fed ribeye was 1/2 sinew (at least 4oz) leading me to believe it was cut far to much into the chuck side. Something typical of local butchery, but I’d expect better eyes on whoever’s cutting the steaks coming out of a professional kitchen.More than most, I understand that taste is subjective; but given my palate, wouldn’t return.
Absolutely stunning. Took fiance for birthday and the best way to describe the flavors was otherworldly.Thank you so much and we will definitely be back
Amazing foods! We are so surprised with the duck confit. Highly recommend.
The food was wonderful. And, the staff and service top-notch. I'm just sad we didn't have room for dessert.
Would not recommend. Have had multiple poor experiences for customer service. Their food might be good but the way they treat people is not. I would recommend giving your money to a business with better ethics.Update: response from the owner is a perfect example of the ignorant attitude they have. We have dined here before and as I said it is not the first poor experience we have had with the demeanor and professionalism of this business.
