We got to the restaurant and the bartender, Kieran, gave us great drink recommendations. We ordered a couple items from the menu - the olives (served warm - amazing!) and the Pumpkin Crème Brûlée, prepared by Denise in the kitchen, were our favourites! I wanted to spend an evening out with my sister and Kieran took the time to answer all our questions on the drinks without hovering. Would definitely recommend this bar. Sunday night it was calm, classy, and cozy; we were told Friday and Saturday are quite busy if you want a more bumpin' vibe. Whatever night you chose to go, I hope Kieran is at the bar - great service.

What a lovely, but very small, hidden gem. The Roost is…read morelocated upstairs from what also looked like a tasty milkshake shop and is quite small. When I called to make a reservation (only taken between 5-7pm) the staff member told me they only have 18 seats so it is very "cozy". There were 3 of us and we ended up sitting at the bar, which was actually just fine for us. Since the Roost is renounced for their house cocktails, it was actually quite entertaining to be able to watch the bartender make the cocktails, see the different glasses and cups they had for each drink and just get to know the staff more. With that said, the Roost's cocktail menu is so fun and there were so many choices, including mocktails, that it was actually difficult to choose drinks. I think in total we tried maybe 5 of them and they were all phenomenal. For food, we ordered a couple of different things. We had the vegan cheese platter - oh yeah, this place has a large vegan/vegetarian friendly menu - some baos or steamed buns and the scallop risotto. I want to say my favorite were actually the steamed buns - nice and fluffy and warm and full of flavor. This place was such a nice little treat during our time in Winnipeg and I would imagine that, if I lived in Winnipeg, it would quickly become one of my go to places for a date or a night out with a friend. Worth the visit if you're in Winnipeg.

The cocktails and the mixology are inspired! The food, on the other hand, is not my idea of great…read more Warm olives were scalding hot, and buried in so much balsamic glaze and blue cheese that there was no point in putting olives in there. The service was slow and sporadic. The vegan burger was tasty but so mushy most of the "burger" ended up on the plate and not part of the sandwich. It's a nice place to go for a drink (good ambiance) but I wouldn't even recommend the tapas from the VERY limited menu. So just to qualify, it's a good place. It's just me that won't be going again.

It's located in a slightly quiet area but despite walking there around 9 and leaving after 11 on a Saturday night there were no issues. No coffee, wines or beers here but there are non-alcoholic drinks and of course loads of cocktails. Most cocktails are $13 and they even offer old school punch bowls (recall the ones our parents owned) except these are smaller ones and need a min of two people for $15 each. Food was just a few cheeseboards - one is a vegan cheese board too. Loved all of the cocktails we tried: - Golden bird - patent 5 vodka, apple jack, golden apple syrup, green strawberry bitters, Malic acid - espresso martini - patent 5 vodka, dogwood neon espresso and Kahlua - Long Island gimlet - patent 5 gin, rum, tequila, house cola cordial, citric acid. This was my favourite - maybe because it has a lot of liquor. Service was laid back yet helpful. Vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Just people having a cocktail and a good time. No pretension. Loved it. I will be back!

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 atmosphere was just as inviting as the staff; there was a side for serious breakfast eaters and a side for coffee and pastries type people. Speaking of pastries- the "cafe style" display of various goodies (cinnamon buns, muffins, croissants etc) was *drool* delicious looking. Will I eat here again- definitely. My husband and I both got the eggs benedict (he got the braised beef, I got the avocado smash). The English muffins were clearly made in store so they did not have that "store bought" flavour.... which some of us may prefer ‍. But the eggs were cooked perfectly soft, the hollandaise was to die for, and can we just highlight the POTATOES for a second . I was skeptical at first because they were a little dark, but seriously- they were amazing. Crispy, salty.. what more could you want. I also had the cappuccino, we know how I love a cappuccino- however this one hit a little under the bar. The coffee was strong so if you're into strong coffee then this is the place for you. Next time I'll try a different warm beverage. We loved this little spot- keep an eye out for more visits here. Next time- Cinabun french toast!
