    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Awesome location. We sat outside and it was a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Scampi pasta - one of the best pastas I've ever had. Nice creamy sauce and the prawns were cooked perfectly. He had the smash burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had The service was great.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little place right on the river, service was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was rather annoying, had to street park a couple blocks away. Had a bruschetta app, chicken quinoa salad, and the daily soup- carrot something (maybe honey/dill?). The soup was delicious, as well as the salad. Good portion sizes. The bruschetta was decent, I liked that you could mix it up with three different flavors. Would recommend this place if you're in town.

    Love this place for brunch! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is located in a great location and has a great view.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their smash burger is really good and highly recommend that. The Greek Salad and calamari were great portions for the table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual vibes and friendly servers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back again!

    Great!

    Everything was perfect (well, a bit expensive). I had the octopus and I've never had a more unique dish at a 'cafe'. The cocktails run sweet. The server was phenomenal. The bathrooms were a bit of a mess and I sadly took a star for that.

    Went with my boyfriend on a date night. The patio had a beaten view with a sunset! The sever was very nice and the drinks were excellent! I recommend!

    The Salmon with Garbanzo beans is in and of itself worth the visit to Winnipeg. This gem of a restaurant is situated on the bank of the Red River in a former pump house which supplied hydrants for the Winnipeg fire brigade. The fig bruscetta is out of this world. River views are majestic and the service exceptional.

    Cibo opened about a month or so ago in the former Amy Street Steam Plant (in 1923) at the foot of Rupert Avenue. Cibo is tucked right behind The Mere Hotel which is this funky colourfully striped box structure near the condos on Waterfront Drive. This eatery is associated with the hotel but oddly enough doesn't provide room service to the hotel. We didn't spot Cibo right away so the easiest directions is to park on Waterfront in front of the hotel on street parking and walk through the lobby and straight through and you'll get to the adjacent building. Apparently there's only a couple of spots for the eatery so it's easiest to park on the street. The long rectangular space has high ceilings, a bar on the right side when you walk in with a large open dining space in the back. There's lots of windows to give you a spectacular view (more so in the summer but even in the dead of winter) of the Red River and all that is Winnipeg. The vibe is fun, cool and relaxed where the menu offers up lots of bruschettas, antipasto, pasta, pizza, pannino and grilled items. Their wine menu could be improved a lot more as a space like this would definitely benefit from a wider wine selection and more by the glass. Service was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The best items were the bruschetta as there are 7 flavours to choose from plus a special. For $12 you can choose a combination of 3 - brie/apple/balsamic, mushroom herbed goat cheese and the artichoke/pesto/parmesan were all delish. Burger ($14) - beef patty with pickled shallot and reggiano aioli was a let down as the patty was overcooked and completely dried out with too much aioli and the matchstick fries were soggy and stuck together like hashbrowns. The lamb and mint pizza ($18) has ground lamb, shallot, parsley and mint. The crust is thin crispy with a very slight chew. The pizza needed more flavour as there wasn't much to the ground lamb meat and there was no discernible mint flavour. Overall, I would go back and try other items and their breakfast too. But definitely a good place to have a drink and some eats in a cool space especially if you're going to the MTC or Concert Hall for a show. Really great to see how busy this place was on a week day evening in the first month of opening. ***** I've gone back 2 more times since my first visit. Sunday lunch was quiet and breakfast ends at 11 am so we had to order off the regular menu. I loved the carbonara $14 - double smoked bacon, yolk, chili and pecorino. I don't usually order pasta as it's not a fave for me but this dish was pretty damn good. It wasn't as heavy as a traditional carbonara though I am not saying this dish was light in calories by any means. There was a nice heat to this dish and all the components were just perfection. Get this one. The spanish chicken panino $14 - paprika, chicken, spanish goat cheese, peppers. Excellent sandwich. Fries were still soggy. Third visit was a friday lunch - it was very busy with nearly all tables taken. I had the pear and prosciutto thin crust pizza $16 - there was fresh arugular sprinkled on top of the pear and prosciutto and blue cheese. A decent pizza with good flavour but crust was not the same as my last visit and tasted more thin and cracker like. Service has been good and decently knowledgeable. I love the space here.

    Realized Canadians don't use Yelp much so let me do a few quick reviews for my Winnipeg trip. We…read moredrove by this a couple nights ago so decided to stop by, unfortunately no time to play but just a coffee/dessert stop after our dinner. My feedback... - Our lattes were lukewarm so that's probably a 2-star on their own. GF carrot cake was pretty good. - Love the concept, everyone looks like they are having a great time which is 5+ - If I understand the pricing correctly, it's $10 per person regardless of how much food one orders. Feels like there should be some discount pending on the overall spending. - I saw a couple playing Uno, I did wonder why, I guess good for datenight. And looking at it a different way, you ate only paying labout $3.50 per hour. - All the staff we talked with were very friendly. - Hours are completely wrong on Yelp, check for the correct times on their website, they open late.

    I loved the feels here! Plenty of board games and awesome food to try! The first thing you see when…read moreyou walk in is a towering library of organized on shelves board games. There breakfast cereal smoothies were also so tasty! The captain crunch one was perfectly creamy and cinnamon-y. They even added caramel syrup to it! I had so much fun playing board games here with my friends. The staff can also help explain the board games to people when they don't know how to play exactly. Since there's so many games to choose from there's almost a guarantee that you'll find one you haven't played before. It's fun trying new things out with friends. : )
