I have been here a lot of times. Always good food and service. This last time was an exception. My…read morefriends got there before I did and they had numerous drinks before I arrived. Once I was seated and we had ordered the server proceeded to tell us they had a reservation shortly for this table. Then why didn't you say anything before I was seated and ordered or move us to another table. And the whole time I was trying to stuff food into me we were getting dirty looks from all the servers. I get that it is a pain to have people sit for a bit but we were trying to have a meal and a visit. I guess next time we will got somewhere that allows us to eat slow and relax My friend gave the server her AMEX to pay. She came back to the table and said sorry it didn't go through. How embarrassing for my friend. She used another card. Later called the restaurant and was told they don't accept AMEX. So why didn't the server say that. Instead she said it didn't go through and embarrassed her for no reason. Luckily she was with friends who understood not business clients. May be time to switch to a new favorite restaurant in my location.

+.5 for service…read more Quantity wise this place is amazing. Quality wise it's fine, not something I'd have often but it's fine. Taverna Rodos is located in Charleswood, and was quite popular when I went here recently with a friend. I had the pork souvlaki, which came with a lot of rice and even more vegetables. I'll be honest, I enjoyed the rice and veggies way more than the pork lol. The pork felt quite dry sadly, if it wasn't for the spices it would've been worse. Service is excellent. I'm sure there are other better items here given the plentiful menu options. I'm content on giving this 3-stars for now and re-evaluate if I decide to return here.

The waiter was very funny and quirky. I loved his fun quick witted responses even though I am not very quick with my replies lol. My date loved the famous Bison Mac and cheese burger. They add a ton of cheesy macaroni and cheese on that burger! I had the Greek Lamb burger but without the lamb patty. I chose a vegetarian patty instead. I liked my burger. I wish there had been a bit more feta cheese inside it though but the sauce was delicious. It's quite a big burger and they give you a ton of fries on the side. They also add a fried pickle to the dish which is tasty. I wouldn't mind coming back here to try other menu items.

Our server, Zane, was terrific. He had a great sense of humor, was attentive without hovering, and made us feel well taken care of throughout lunch. Everyone at the table loved their meal. My sister ordered the Arancini as her entrée and polished off every bite. I kept things light with the Caesar salad topped with grilled chicken but substituted an oil-and-vinegar dressing instead of the traditional Caesar. The chicken was perfectly grilled, the salad was fresh, and the portion was generous. My husband ordered the pasta, and the kitchen was happy to substitute a spicy tomato sauce for the rosé sauce, which we really appreciated. My brother-in-law thoroughly enjoyed the Piri Piri Chicken. We also discovered a fantastic Canadian Riesling from Tawse Winery in the Niagara region. The only disappointment was the limited by-the-glass wine selection, so we ended up ordering a bottle instead. Not a huge issue, but it would be nice to have a few more options by the glass. A couple of tips for first-time visitors: parking is paid street parking, and the restaurant can be a little tricky to find. Look for the colorful striped exterior of the Mere Hotel--the restaurant is tucked behind it along the river. Overall, we had a terrific experience. Great food, excellent service, a beautiful waterfront setting, and a relaxed atmosphere made this one of our favorite lunches in Winnipeg. We'd definitely come back.

We have a tremendous meal at the Cibo cafe during a short visit to Winnipeg in July. Even though…read moreit was a beautiful evening, we sat inside at a wonderful table for 4 in the back of the restaurant at a table with a view over the river. This section is elevated above the main floor and has wonderful golden leather chairs where I could have lingered for hours. The menu is broad with Italian, Spanish, and even African dishes so it's not hard to find something tempting. To start we shared some bruschetta-there are six varieties and you can choose 3. We LOVED the pear/prosciutto as well as the Brie/apple varieties but the standard tomato variety was also great. At 6 pieces to an order you need 4 people (like us) unless you're only having a salad (like my wife) as your main. We also tried the Piri Piri chicken-very flavorful, the paella-yummy, and the chicken and chorizo pasta. They serve cocktails and the margarita and the whiskey sour were both standouts for their quality even if they were a touch lite on booze. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Loved the vibe, location and service. Recommended.

I first heard of Les Saj from a friend who's familiar with good shawarma in the city. I've had…read moretheir shawarma before during Covid via Skip, but it's been a while so I decided to come back recently. Their signature dish is the Arabic Shawarma, which is similar to a chicken shawarma, but cut into bite sized pieces. I'm a bit wary when it comes to chicken shawarma as I usually prefer beef or lamb, but they did do a good job here. Slight bit of dryness in the chicken, but their garlic sauce more than made up for it. I believe Ramallah and Baraka are both slightly better shawarma places than here, but Les Saj is definitely an excellent option if you're in the Polo Park area.

I also ordered a side of pita but passed on dessert. After you finish your meal they have a market next door. You may access it from the restaurant. They sell a lot of great products. Overall, great experience here. I will most likely return here when I return to Winnipeg. I decided to plan another trip here. I love the mellow vibe of this city. Also, this place is located in the corner of a mini strip mall. It can be easy to miss. There is also plenty of parking. I believe they have live music too. I highly recommend this place.
