Smoked fish on fried potatoes: this had a tomato coulis that overpowered all other flavors. The potato was soggy with oil. The restaurant Clementines does a similar dish but does it right Omelette-- good Beef hash ( what they tend to run out of) -- hearty portion, lovely beef with good seasoning, no green peppers is a BIG win, lots of kale, mushrooms, red pepper and onion, on a bed of home fries. The potatoes were soggy with too much oil but by the time we got to the bottom of the dish we were full anyway Decent coffee Ordered cheesecake to go on Valentine's Day They do not stop people from smoking right outside the entrance of the hotel which is annoying

This place is awesome, and definitely worth making a part of any trip to the Leaf. Actually, it's…read moreworth visiting even if you aren't planning on touring the Leaf. While clearly a nice restaurant, the atmosphere isn't pretentious at all. It's chill, people are friendly, and I was really impressed by how calm everyone seemed in the open kitchen. The menu I guess could be described as "New Canadian", and I'd say it's got something for everyone, but is focused enough not to overwhelm. We got three of the small plates to start with and share: the focaccia, the chorizo spiced tacos, and the roasted squash gnocchi. The tacos are actually made with soy curls (a soy-based protein that actually has the texture of chicken) flavored with chorizo spices. Our meat-eating (and meat-loving) parents who usually dislike tofu and any meat alternatives actually really liked the tacos. I tried some of the mole and it was so good that I ended up pouring some of the extra on the focaccia! The focaccia itself was pillowy and perfect with a unique and delicious strawberry infused whipped butter. The gnocchi was by far my favorite dish of the night. The contrast of the pillowy gnocchi to the pumpkin seed brittle, and the sweet squash to the savory mushroom xo, all make for delight and interest in every bite. For mains, I got the coconut korma with soy curls, and my dinner buddies got the house salads (one with chicken and one with soy curls) and the linguine with spinach creme sauce. Props to the kitchen for very satisfying portions on the large plates. We were all stuffed by the end and I actually needed a bit of help at the end to finish mine. The korma was delicious, with fragrant fluffy rice and flavorful soy protein. Everyone really enjoyed their dishes, and the only downside was that we were too stuffed to try and of the desserts, which sounded amazing. I'm not that particular about service in general, but when it's good, I can definitely notice, and the service here is really, really good. Our server, Karla (or Carla?) was so attentive, so helpful, kept us well hydrated, and paced everything out perfectly. Overall, our experience here was incredibly positive and would recommend!

The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering starters and main courses that will appeal to everyone. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious. The chefs use the best quality ingredients to produce dishes that are simply delightful. The restaurant also offers a wonderful drink menu as well. I'm pretty sure that we would return for another visit the next time we're in Winnipeg.

We came over to Oak & Grain as a group on the arrival day of our conference. Crossed the street…read moreand went into the lobby of the Hilton and there it was. Greeting was very pleasant and they sat a group of 8 immediately. The waitperson was quite knowledgeable about local brews, and since I'm a local brew fan anywhere I go, opted for a double IPA that ended up being really good. Other folks had a single IPA, lagers, wine, etc. The menu is quite eclectic, with items ranging from the Filipino-infused Shanghai Lumpia, to soup and salad, to Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I wasn't particularly hungry and I thought their "appetizer" menus would be small dishes, and treated ordering like tapas, asking for a small plate of lumpia and a small plate of chicken tenders.... Oh well.... I get an entire dinner plate of lumpia and a full basket of chicken tenders, French fries and vegetables.... I left stuffed. Service was superb. Even asking for separate checks for the entire party, our waitperson didn't flinch an eye. Superb service, great food and good company.

The avocado spread was also one of my favorite part of this sandwich, it was layered on thick with actual chunks of Avocado. I highly recommend it if you love seafood like me.

+.5 for service I…read morethink it's safe to say this is the best Italian restaurant in Winnipeg. I hear about Harth as well, which also works as they're both the same owners! I went here with a friend a couple weeks ago, as I was saying about how I wanted to try authentic Italian food. This place is an institution that's been around for over 20 years. It's not extremely upscale, but it's a comfortable dining environment. I went with the carbonara after I saw the ingredients in it. An authentic carbonara consists of spaghetti or linguine, guanciale, eggs, and a special kind of cheese. No cream, no milk, no garlic, no onions. This was exactly what I got with this carbonara, so I can confirm it's 100% authentic Italian. It was absolutely delicious, and the prices are very affordable for the quality and authenticity you get. I added a lemon meringue cheesecake. Pretty good, loved the design especially. Given the combined total of under $40 including tax and tips, this is very reasonable for an Italian dinner. Service is excellent. I'll definitely return.

Winnipeg has three locations of The Keg. I have been to two of them. The one that I used to…read morefrequent the most is this one in St. James. I have a friend who lives five minutes away from this location, so we'd come here to meet and catch up. I like that there is plenty of parking in the lot. I have never had any problem finding a spot. As with most of these eateries, this restaurant is dark when you walk in. It's cozy, though. For starters, I enjoyed getting the mushrooms Neptune. I love anything with mushrooms. This restaurant stuffs the caps with crab meat and cream cheese, which I love. I am also a fan of the scallops and bacon. I've had the escargot, too. They are all good in my books. I used to order the prime rib a lot. I loved getting it medium-well. It comes with strong horseradish and a red wine au jus. Everything was perfect about the prime rib. I enjoy getting sauteed mushrooms on the side. Otherwise, I'd go with whatever veggies are available. The sirloin Oscar is also yummy. You get shrimp, scallops, and asparagus smothered with Bearnaise sauce. Yum! Meals come with sourdough bread. It's yummy when it's warm and the butter melts on it. As for dessert, I tend to get either the Billy Miner pie or the fudge brownie. The former is decadent. It's mocha ice cream on some sort of chocolate crust with hot fudge and caramel. When I am super stuffed, I will get a mini fudge brownie to satisfy my sweet tooth. It comes with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. I always ask that the whipped cream be held, as I have never been a huge fan of it. Service has always been great here. I either drop by for lunch or dinner. Service seems to be slightly better for lunch, but it's all fine to me. The Keg restaurants are all closed due to COVID-19. I look forward to dropping by this location when I'm back in town. It will be nice to catch up with my friend, the menu, and the city. (147)

I did in fact genuinely like that appetizer, it tasted more of the mushroom though but I love mushrooms! 5 stars for the Escargot appetizer. The crab cakes were yummy but I've had them somewhere else were they were even more delicious. They just weren't moist enough or maybe they needed a bit more creamy sauce. 4 stars for the crab cakes. Overall the restaurant is very classy, the waiter attentive and charming and the food fantastic! 4.5 stars! A+
