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.

I love that this place looks more upscale - think Earls, but doesn't compromise the quality of their food. It is the only place I know of where you can get new style sashimi (sashimi that is slightly seared) and roles that are wrapped with either cucumber or radish. YUM! The last time I went here I tried their features roll which was called a velvet something or other. I was hesitant because it was $22 but it came with around 10 pieces and was AMAZballs. No regrets ordering it at all. Which does make me let you know that the sushi is on the pricey side, but worth it. All of the ingrediants are fresh and the drinks are well made. Some are weird combinations - like the ginger pear. Take that off the menu. When you make a reservation also think of where you want to sit. They have a party type room off the front hostess desk which is completely private, they have the lounge, the main floor dining (one side open to the chefs and the other closed) then they have the upstairs and the back room. All really cool.

With a place like Pony Corral, one should definitely not expect top notch quality, but something that's middle of the road and edible. That was the mindset I came in while ordering here, in which I had the chicken and ribs with the soup of the day (tomato and wild rice). The soup was actually really good. It felt fresh and they separated the extra ingredients such as onions and sour cream so you can choose to add (or not add) them. The chicken and ribs were nothing special, but nothing terrible either. Service was great and what I expected for a place like this. If you set your standards right, it's a decent place. It definitely won't blow you out of the water though.

I let our server know when she asked, but not as a complaint. She let us know that she would be right out with our refills. Instead, a guy brought us ours, and when he put them onto the table, he didn't let go of them, and stared back and forth at us. It was really odd, especially because he turned out to be the manager. He was argumentative, confrontational, and belittling. I let him know that it was me that said that the steaks weren't done how we ordered them. He asked us if we even know the "correct" doneness of each steak, and proceeded to tell us that we didn't. He made quite a big issue out of it. So much so, that he went back to the kitchen to get his chart, and pointed out each level. He stared us in the eye and was defensive and challenging. I rarely go out to eat, so this was supposed to be a nice, relaxing occasion. We had hoped to go out for a nice meal, and enjoy a nice steak. It was the absolute opposite when Chris came out like some sort of pitbull. I feel bad for the staff at this location, because if he was willing to treat two complete strangers this way, he definitely is this way to the people around him. One thousand per cent DO NOT recommend!! Do not even think about coming here. Tell your friends to save them the hassle.

The restaurant was very busy that evening. I took the required amount of insulin for the meal that I ate. When I arrived home my Blood Glucose (BG) was over 20 which is a very dangerous level. The normal range is between 4-7. It was then that I realized that I was given a regular cola by mistake and not the sugar free cola that I ordered. It took many hours to finally bringing my BG down which I did by taking a great amount of insulin. I phoned the restaurant and explained what happened with the goal of letting them know to be more careful as something like this is very dangerous for a diabetic. The person answering my call apologized, took my name and number and told me that her supervisor would call me the following day. I have yet to hear from them. As I said I wanted to make them aware that something like this is very dangerous for a diabetic especially if you end up drinking more then one glass of cola. Needless to say, I am not very happy that they wouldn't even return my call.

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)

I had thought about going to The Keg for dinner. However, I wasn't feeling like spending a ton of money for a single meal, as yummy as any steak at this eatery is. I had just finished seeing a great movie at the Cineplex on McGillivray. I was ready for dinner. It was my birthday. The Keg was fairly close. I did a search for other steakhouses. I found Mr Mikes. It was new to me. I headed over to it. Mr Mikes wasn't difficult to find. It was a three-minute drive from Cineplex. It's located in a plaza across from Starbucks. I backed into an available parking spot and walked in. It didn't take long for a staffer to greet me. She asked me if I wanted a booth or a table. I went with the former and got a comfy one. Summer was my server. Summer in Winnipeg with Summer. Cool! I ordered water and a Diet Coke to start. Service was impeccable, as another staffer came by a few minutes later to ask if I needed anything. Mr Mikes is a franchise that hails from Vancouver. It was started by a couple of guys in Vancouver whose first name isn't Mike. I don't know the story behind the name. Anyway, like Earls, Mr Mikes has made its way eastbound. This location is the only one in Winnipeg. There are currently three locations in southwestern Ontario. The one in Kitchener is new. I'll need to visit it when I'm back in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Mr Mikes is big on steaks and burgers. The dining experience was casual and laidback. I got these items: - Oscars sirloin lobster - Diet Coke The oscars sirloin lobster is the most bang for your buck. It features a seven-ounce sirloin with lobster and seafood on top, along with hollandaise. It comes with onion rings, veggies, and garlic mashed potatoes. This meal screamed my name. I got the sirloin medium-well. I drank my water and Diet Coke. Both were cold and refreshing. I got another Diet Coke refill during my visit. My food didn't take long to arrive. It was impressive considering that it was roughly 6:30 pm on a Thursday evening. I never know what to expect when the description says that veggies are a side. Would they be gross, like mushy squash? Nope! I got the most delicate asparagus. Yay! I will say that the sirloin was a bit difficult to cut through. I don't know if it was actually the meat or my knife. It was still yummy and seasoned well. I loved everything else. The lobster and seafood on top was delicious. This place didn't skimp on the seafood. There were lumps on lobster and shrimp. Excellent! The garlic mashed potatoes were comforting. They weren't super garlicky, but you knew that the garlic was there. I loved the asparagus. It was easy to cut and eat. They were lightly salted and cooked perfectly. The onion rings were enjoyable. They were crispy on the outside. The onion's natural sweetness came through each ring. The only downside was being asked how everything was tasting with a mouthful of food. It happens more to me in Winnipeg, which is something I don't miss. The question could have been timed better. It doesn't take much to look at someone's jaw to determine whether chewing is occurring. If the customer is chewing, maybe ask the question later if you're dying to know. Summer asked whether I had room for dessert after I had polished off my main. I didn't. This meal was filling and satisfying. I asked for the bill. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. Done! I used the washroom before I started my drive back to Steinbach. The women's washroom simply had She on the door with red lips. Cool! The washroom stall that I used was clean. The entire washroom was nicely maintained. I liked some of the images on the wall as I headed out the door: - Some of my best friends are vegan - Bad spellers of the world untie - I licked it so it's mine All relatable. Super fun and funny! I had a wonderful dinner here. Prices are decent and the food was yummy. (287)
