cars parked in front of a restaurant

For some reason, the exterior of this place doesn't fully represent what the restaurant is really like inside. I always figured this place to be more of a divey diner place. But I was very happily surprised when I walked in and it turned out to be this clean and cozy neighborhood restaurant. It was very pleasant inside and not too loud. I've been here a few times now and have enjoyed all my meals here. The place serves up a good breakfast selection - all around $10. Lunch options are $12-$15 with dinner entrees $18-$20. The menu is definitely familiar comfort foods like reubens, clubhouse, chicken fingers, pastas and burgers. They even have a kids menu and a 55+ menu - very family friendly place. I like their burger bar menu where they offer up different styles like basic, greek, western style and you pick your patty (beef, chicken breast, salmon fillet or veggie). I liked the california burger ($12.99) and opted for the chicken breast - it came with avocado, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes and sauteed onions. The fries were absolutely yum! The fries reminded me of the ones from New York Fries - skin on, and perfectly crispy. I enjoyed their breakfast meals too - very good portion sizes! I like that their food isn't overly salty. It's a nice place to go for a casual meal. Service is really knowledgeable and friendly with pretty fast food service. And there's parking in their private lot!

Very charming and did everything to make our evening very special. He gave good recommendations and was very attentive without being intrusive. I had the prime rib with Yorkshire pudding, garlic mashed potatoes and roasted red peppers (I specifically asked for those) and my dinner was 5 stars. For dessert I had their Key Lime pie which was melt in your mouth scrumptious. If you want a memorable and wonderful dinner, I highly recommend The Gates.

We came for an early dinner on a Wednesday so it was very quiet in the restaurant. I started with scallops which were cooked perfectly and had a very tasty aioli. For our entree's I had the beef tenderloin, my wife had pork tenderloin and my mother in law had a chicken linguini. My beef was cooked perfectly medium rare and was awesomely seasoned. The accompanying vegetables were great and I had an order of asparagus with bernaise. The bernaise was thicker than I expected but still had good flavour. My wife's pork was filled with apples and other things and wrapped in prosciutto. She said it was the best one of the best pork dishes she had. Lastly my mother in law really enjoyed her pasta We would all come back to The Gates for a special occasion in the future.

They brought me hot water and an assortment of tea. Thank you!! ( and no charge) Some unpleasant things We found the bed very soft ( and prefer firm bed). They have some rooms with firmer tempurpedic mattresses, but they are above and below an event space that had events planned during our stay and the staff said people report they hear the party When a room opened up after parties were done they did not remember to give to us, though they said they would When we returned for 1 night, they DID assign us a room with a better mattress (219), though it was not tempurpedic. It was more firm. We are in an adjoining room (338) and the person next door is showering and blowing their nose nonstop. It's like I'm right in the shower with him. Other guests also complained about hearing entire conversations from the rooms next door. Excellent location as it's a quick walk to The Forks for food and entertainment, plus the river walk area for running, skating, walking or biking.

We spent 2 nights here - before and after a trip to Churchill. A grand old hotel from 1913 that has…read morebeen wonderfully maintained and updated. Large rooms with high ceilings band lenty of hot water. Great staff and good buffet breakfast. Easy walk to downtown and the Forks. Recommended.

Not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the restaurant is so cozy and chic! We loved sitting at the window, sipping on coffee, and enjoying breakfast. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend the Palestinian Breakfast, but it's one of those menus where you can't really go wrong.

I was I was seated immediately the server then brought a bottle of water from an old tequila bottle. It looks like their glassware short the water tasted clean and refreshing. 9:15: am I just ordered a vanilla latte and I would be lying if I didn't say this was the best tasting perfect temperature vanilla latte I ever had in my entire life unbelievable. The perfect cup as well. This is a trendy breakfast at restaurant. Nice crowd and perfect music. 9:22 am I ordered the chorizo hash. Now I'm waiting with excitement while I wait for my food. This place is now packed people have started to line up. There's takeout here BTW. The latte has made me so happy just ordered another one at 9:27 am. 9:31 am the Hash has arrived and OMG this was the best tasting meal breakfast I've had since being in Winnipeg for the last month. Now I'm just waiting for my latte and for the Bill. I will tell you come early get a table but it's well worth the wait. Hands Down one of the Best Breakfast I've ever had in my life. 5 Star Vibe 5 Star Latte 5 Star Breakfast 9:46 paid the bill. Breakfast for 2 will cost you about 60 bucks. What a Great Meal !!!
