Le bison était parfait, tendre à point.

First time visit. Have been excited about coming, for a long time. We had a reservation. The ambiance was nice, the restaurant was busy. I loved the serving ware. The pottery drinking mugs were my favourite. The service was very good. Parking was easy. The bathrooms are not labeled. I incorrectly assumed they were gender neutral, and (as a male) thought it was great to have early accessible feminine hygiene products…. but I later found out the bathroom on the left was men’s (urinals!) and I had incorrectly gone into the women’s. Oops.

My visit started poorly, but ended in an almost great way.

I ordered a El Niño, which is zero proof. It was also zero taste. Pretty much a flavoured water on ice.

Raw Venison and Grilled Strawberries. This was a miss. The venison itself was quite good, but the presentation was not appetizing. The fiddleheads were crunchy but boring. Everything had an overpowering smoked flavour.

Albacore Tuna. Melt in your mouth. This was really nice.

Manitoba Green Back Pickerel. I’m not sure why I picked two seafood dishes. The pickerel had a similar melt in your mouth quality as the tuna, which was surprising. Unfortunately the dish lacked depth and was boring after 1-2 bites. My spouse had the chicken - it was fantastic.

Peanut butter Icecream Sandwich. So close… The icecream was amazing. The salted candied nuts were so good. But the sandwich itself was a tasteless breading that could have been so much more. A simple crunchy cookie?

Overall mediocre. For the price, I won’t be back. In my opinion, there are better options for great food in Winnipeg.

The tasting menu was balanced yet creative - but the friendly service was the standout. I was on a solo date and the team was so incredibly friendly, sat me at the bar with them and chatted with me in between other customers, and described every item on the tasting menu so I felt good about my choices. The bison tartare was fresh and phenomenal, the cauliflower was smoky and citrusy, and the cod was so comforting. I finished with a tea made by a group of locals and the pecan carrot cake which was a cross between carrot cake and sticky toffee pudding, it seemed - decadent. Thank you for such a lovely evening!

Flew in from Ottawa for the Jets game - needed a good spot for dinner and definitely found it. Menu items are a little higher but your belly will be FULL; meals were spectacular.
Would highly recommend.
Chef/owner was celebrating his birthday and offered everyone a glass of bubbles on the house.
Very nice touch…
