Tip: The classic meals give you the most bang for your money. You choose your steak. It comes with…read moreeither bread or a starter salad, crispy onions, a starch, and your choice of a side. I had a gift card to use at any The Keg Steakhouse and Bar. I decided that I'd use it on my birthday and treat myself to a quality dinner. Last year, I was in the area and had two steakhouse choices. I went with Mr Mikes. This year, I chose The Keg. This location is the only one out of the bunch in Winnipeg that I had yet to visit. I came here after taking in a matinee movie at the Cineplex nearby. It was just before 6 pm. I drove over here and found parking in a vast parking lot. It was busy. I walked in. I was immediately greeted by a female staffer. I was looking for a table for one. She said that there was bar seating. No wait. Perfect! I selected a seat that faced the screen with the Argentina - Cape Verde FIFA World Cup game that was about to start. Nice! The lobster summer menu looked so good. However, I had my heart set on a prime rib dinner. I stuck with my original plan. I got the nicest bartender who took my order: - Diet Pepsi - Classic prime rib meal: - Mixed greens with mustard vinaigrette - Ten-ounce prime rib (medium) with au jus, crispy onions, mashed potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and horseradish - Caesar brussels sprouts My Diet Pepsi came out first. It was cold and refreshing. I would get a refill later on. A couple sat next to me. They were probably in their sixties. The man said hi to me. I reciprocated. They talked about fishing and how they used to live in Ontario with one of the bartenders. They were clearly regulars at this establishment, as they ended up chatting with at least two other bartenders. My food had arrived. Three plates. It look like I hadn't eaten in years! The couple looked at everything that I had. The man: You deserve the Order of Manitoba if you can finish everything. Me: It's my birthday and I plan on enjoying everything. I am normally not that bold to state that it's my birthday. I was looking forward to this meal, I would eventually polish off all three plates of food because I was hungry and I had wanted this meal. I started with the mixed greens with mustard vinaigrette. Everything was so crisp and fresh. The pickled onions gave a nice contrast to the plump tomatoes, yummy cucumbers, and fresh mixed greens. The mustard vinaigrette was excellent. Every bite had the perfect amount of it. I loved the prime rib. It was medium. Tender. Yummy. The au jus was perfect. Every morsel got dunked in it. The crispy onions looked like a lot. However, enjoying them with the mashed potatoes and au jus was the perfect amount. The mashed potatoes were comforting. I liked that the skin was left on the taters before they got mashed. The caesar brussels sprouts were outstanding. It tasted like a caesar salad with the best creamy dressing, buttery croutons, and a lemon wedge to squeeze over everything. The brussels sprouts were roasted to perfection and were scrumptious. I want to recreate this side. During my meal, the man said to the bartender that I could buy any drink, as it was my birthday and he was treating. It was such a sweet gesture. I was not expecting it. I got a mojito. Moments later, it appeared in front of me. I thanked the couple for making my dinner extra special. They wished me a happy birthday and we clinked glasses. The mojito was so good. I love any drink with lime and mint. It was wonderful. I stayed to watch the entire FIFA game. Argentina won in extra time. I presented my gift card to my bartender. I had printed it out, as it was a digital one. I said to use it all, which would include the tip. Done! I thanked the couple again for their kind gesture and for making my day so special. They were so gracious and wished me a happy birthday again and a good evening. I headed to the women's washroom before making tracks back to Steinbach. Another benefit sitting by the bar is that the washrooms are a few steps away. The women's washroom felt fancy. The stall that I used was clean. No complaints. I had an exceptional experience here. Great food and drinks. It helped that there were friendly folks at the bar and excellent bartenders who made my birthday a memorable one. (302)

It has been around since 1986, long before I was a resident in this neighbourhood. This eatery was a couple of blocks away from where I lived. It's a restaurant and bar. The menu is mostly Mexican fare. It does have wings and shrimp that seem to be exempt from it. This place is known for its extensive variety of nachos. I used to get the pig and pineapple nachos, which is pulled pork, pineapple, bacon, and cheese with crunchy corn chips. I'm glad that it's still on the menu. I need to return. It's got brisket nachos. I want some! I've also enjoyed the enchiladas. You can choose your protein. It's hearty, filling, and yummy. If you love happy hour, it happens daily from 3:30 pm till 7 pm. Discounts range from beer to 99-cent wings. I'll need to revisit this place when I'm back in my old neighbourhood. (361)

I was here about 20 years ago, but on this newest trip to the place, it looks nice,…read morerustic.........sat down at a table (not part of the lounge), we had a almost 2 year old with us and 3 adults and a youth. No one was in our area when we arrived, the waitress was nice and friendly...........she asked for our drinks and gave us time to read the menu, I notice an ant crawling on the table, but it didn't gross me out so much, as we were almost willing to eat outside, but didn't. Not to long after we ordered, another family walked in and sat at a table near us. We noticed a manager looking guy coming out to greet the family, when they came in and they had the same waitress as us, but Mr.manager never came to say Hi to us., I didn't want to think racist...but that man never talked to us, only when it came to give us our food. And when the food (appetizers) came it was alright, until the nachos got to us, we asked for oaxaca cheese nachos but looked like we just got cheddar, (we thought, maybe because we look native...we wouldn't be able to tell the difference or complain (because most native people don't speak up), also they came burnt to hell, my boy said it tasted like eating charcoal but we were too hungry to complain, but I did metion to the waitress, "looks like the wrong cheese", she just told me "they must have used a cheese blend", which would be fine but we ordered the oaxaca cheese nachos and oaxaca cheese is white (maybe I read it wrong.) As we ate the burnt nachos, that had the wrong cheese from what we ordered, our main meals came out. And they looked ok, but as we ate my brother almost choked on some metal scrub ball for washing dishes (small pieces of it), he thought it was his main dish, but then my boy said while eating the nachos he felt something sharp go down his throat, he thought it was a sharp chip, but when he thought back and saw what my brother had found, he thought it was most likely the scrub ball. I'm just thankful that the baby just wanted the plain chips! (don't even want to think about if the baby had gotten the wire scrub and ate it.) After that, I got so freakin grossed out and when the waitress said "are we not getting dessert". Yuck, heck no! Check please!,(is what I thought,) and they are lucky we paid them at ALL! They probably thought we wouldn't notice the difference in the cheese and re-heated an old order, that wasn't sold (that's why it came back almost black and with the wrong cheese) but jokes on them, I'm half mexican, so I know exactly what oaxaca cheese looks like. I'm so disgusted with this place, its only good if your white or drinking booze, this place is crap for food and hospitality. I give every place I go to a fair chance, but that was garbage and I'm never ever going to that place again. It was so crap, this is my first ever post of a review for anyplace. And I've been to crap places but it's like people just don't care about people anymore. Zero stars for kitchen staff and 2 stars for waitress, she didn't even really know the menu and had to keep going to the kitchen to ask questions. Just all around disappointing experience.

We were meeting a customer and a company we work with who is located here in Winnipeg. We were told…read moreabout dinner, how it's one of the nicest spots in town and they absolutely delivered. It's in a beautiful large home, but has some private dining areas and a cool bar right when you walk ins We were early for dinner so a few of us ordered drinks. I ended up having one of the best spicy margaritas ever. Craftsmanship is crucial here, and they have a broad offering of cocktails, wines and liquors. Aiden helped us get situated at the bar. Watched him and the others work as fast as possible to make sure the bar was set, also the dinner tables too. Should not have had two but how often will I be in Winnipeg? We were seated upstairs in a private room. Perfect for a business dinner. Russell was our server and he was top level. Helpful, professional and helped make good choices for our table. We had bread service, onion rings towers, and I ordered a French onion soup that knocked my socks off. I saw the people who knew the restaurant the best order mojitos and how could I say no? That was the best drink of the night, the mint smelled so fresh, like someone literally grew it outside. For dinner I had the 10 oz ribeye mid rare and with a side of cognac peppercorn sauce which was almost too delicious that I tried not to dunk my steak in it rather than so the polite thing and pour it on my plate. The table ordered potatoes gratin, lobster mac n cheese, spinach, asparagus with Bernaise sauce, and cauliflower and I'll be honest I was holding on to make sure I ate the steak so I only had some bread and a couple onion rings, then with dinner I had some cauliflower and passed on everything else. Our customer is known here, so the service and food were impeccable. Russell was funny, and gave as good as he received when trying to razz him a bit. For dessert I thought why not order a couple scoops of ice cream? In Winnipeg, a scoop is basically two in the US. Way too much ice cream but presented beautifully with gooseberries and fresh fruit, along with a sauce for each the salted caramel and the dark chocolate. I'm in my hotel but this meal was a great way for me to end the day with customers and would be friends in business. A class group at a classier spot for a memorable dinner. Support small owned businesses!

We were with my mom who is elderly and has mobility issues. They did everything to accommodate and make her feel comfortable. We had to take her back after appetizers, as it was too much for her to stay for the full meal and the restaurant held our main courses until my family got back from taking her home. They could not have been nicer and more accommodating. We were so grateful! It's in a restored mansion on Wellington Crescent. The vibe and atmosphere is wonderful. Five stars, can't wait to go back!

After having a fantastic meal at GaiJin Izakaya on Sunday, I thought that it would be fitting to get dessert from this Dairy Queen Grill and Chill next door. The drive-thru had a steady stream of business on a hot summery afternoon. I walked in. There were lots of seats and tables. A male staffer said hi and walked behind the counter. I wanted to try a Dilly bar for the first time. I have lived a sheltered ice cream life. I always bought tubs of ice cream, but never visited any Dairy Queen when I lived in Winnipeg. Well, I broke that streak at long last! He got me a Dilly bar. I was excited. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was done. I got the bar from this man and wished him a great day. He reciprocated. I ate my Dilly bar in my vehicle. It was so good. The chocolate on the outside was yummy and crunchy. The vanilla ice cream inside was dreamy and creamy. I am always late to the party. I eventually do enjoy being there. It's a decent DQ. I'd return to get more frozen treats. I'd also give items off the grill a try, too. (279)

I probably was a Winnipegger when I last sat down to have a bite to eat. There used to be a pizza-spaghetti place. It no longer exists. Well, here's to making new food court memories! I looked around and saw this Edo Japan food stall. I love Edo. Perfect! I got a nice, attentive woman behind the counter. She was great to let me review the menu and figure out what I wanted. I got the following: - Chicken teriyaki on rice - Gyoza - California roll - Diet Coke in a bottle I like making my meal a bento box. It allows me to select two appetizers. I went for the gyoza and California roll. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and was set. I watched my teriyaki chicken and veggies in action. My gyoza were also heated up on the hibachi grill. The California roll was already pre-made. I saw a woman start making some as I was about to head to a table and eat. It was cool seeing my food made in front of me. I enjoyed it. The man asked if I wanted teriyaki sauce. I said more would be great. There was a bit of a language barrier. I could tell that he was more comfortable asking me how many scoops of sauce I'd like. I said two. Perfect! One scoop of teriyaki sauce is the norm. I am so not the norm. Two works better to coat the chicken and the rice. I found a table and was ready to enjoy a late lunch. I love that no matter which Edo you visit, the food is yummy and consistent. I loved the chicken teriyaki on rice. The rice was perfect. The chicken morsels had good flavour and sear, and were delicious. The veggies were great. I was happy. The gyoza were great. They had chicken filling in it and were flavourful. The wrapper on each one was pan-fried. So good! I washed everything down with a Diet Coke. The bottle was the perfect size. I had a great experience. I'd return again for more when I'm back at this mall. (244)

Winnipeg's Chinatown was so tiny that you'd blink and you were done walking the whole thing. Osborne Village did not have a northern Chinese eatery until this place opened up. It was and continues to be steps away from my favourite used music and DVD store. You walk downstairs to get to this restaurant. Even though I lived two blocks away, I probably did takeout once. Most of my meals were delivery. I'd call in my order and one of the family members (mainly the dad back then) would happily come over to deliver my food. I have dined here a couple of times. Spicy Noodle House became my go-to place for yumminess and a bit of home cooking away from home. My favourite meal was the beef brisket in noodles. The beef brisket was tender and incredibly flavourful. It reminded me of how my mom made it, but without the turnips. This place took them out, which I appreciated! The noodles were thick and chewy. The broth was so good. I never had a disaster with the broth getting delivered to me. I also got these huge dumplings that were filled with pork goodness. Sadly, I don't see them on the menu anymore. However, if you get something similar, such as their wontons, you can't go wrong. They are so delicious and comforting. This place is generous with portions. I have also had their mooshi. I've done the pork, beef, and chicken. I am missing the vegetable to complete my mooshi mission. It was all good. It's funny how I only have had mooshi in Winnipeg. Maybe cold evenings scream mooshi as comfort food to me. I passed by this eatery the last time I was in Winnipeg, and was happy that it's still alive and kicking. I am salivating writing this review. I need to return and get reacquainted with the food again. (134)

I opted to do a Kamayan with my boyfriend and a good friend who frequently visits Winnipeg (and was coincidentally in the city in the exact same time as me). The menu tells you to call ahead of time to book your Kamayan 24 hours ahead of your visit, which is exactly what I did. Their Kamayan allows you to choose appetizers and mains from the menu (with the option of Pancit and fried rice). Because we decided to go with the large feast, we were allowed 2 apps, 3 mains, and 2 portions of rice or pancit or both). This restaurant offers both really traditional options (such as Bicol express and Kaldereta) as well as several fusion dishes that are quite interesting (such as longganisa nachos and coconut adobo tacos). I wanted a more traditional Kamayan so I ordered the Sweet bbq and the chicken inasal, with the rice and Pancit. We also got sisig, and we couldn't resist the coconut adobo tacos. They offer gloves and even utensils if you don't feel comfortable eating with your hands. There are packets of wet wipes as well as a paper towel roll for the table so it doesn't get too messy. All the food was amazing. I particularly liked their Sweet bbq. The sauce was amazing and was a nice mix of traditional sweet and salty flavours. The chicken inasal was also a standout. The chicken was flavourful and the skin was nice and cripsy. I asked for lechon sauce (Mang Tomas) for the chicken inasal and I was delighted that they had it! We had dessert after the meal. The ube brownie is stellar and melts in your mouth. Even if you don't think you have room for dessert, I would highly recommend this. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the experience. The banana leaf setting and the decor really helped make the whole meal feel authentic. If I come back, I'd love to try their breakfast.
