+.5 for service For…read morethe hype it gets I was a bit disappointed by the food quality given the price I paid. I went here recently with a coworker and his friend on a Friday night, and it wasn't busy at all. While reservations are suggested, I'm aware that they leave a portion of tables for walk-ins. So feel free to still come even if you can't book a reservation. I had the Krakow Burger, which was recommended in some Google reviews. It was apparently one of the Burger Week winners a while ago. It was good, but for $21 I was left expecting a bit more. It didn't feel that much better than smash burgers from other local sports bars in the city. Their indo-met salad was certainly a unique salad, and something I wouldn't mind trying again. Their beer is probably better than the food IMO. Steel Cut Blonde had that nice honey touch if you like that, while Tepache Gold is amazing if you like pineapple. Highly recommend both. Service was good for us here. I probably won't go crazy in returning here unless it's for drinks.

Only time we've experienced bad service here. Been multiple times and today (during burger week…read more2024) we were completely ignored by our waitress who forgot to ring in our burger. We waited 45 minutes AFTER receiving our appetizer and still no burger. When we asked how much longer it would be she said she'd check but never came to let us know how long it would be. Never refilled our drinks and then when we paid with cash she said she'd be back with our change but didn't come back until we called her over to which she said she completely forgot which I don't understand because she looked at us multiple times. Every other time we've been it's been amazing so this was really sad considering we love this place. Will consider who's on shift next time we come because it was really unacceptable especially during an important week like this where SO many new customers are coming in. The burger-nothing special this year, honestly couldn't taste the pineapple aspect and it's so greasy. Would not suggest this place for burger week this year. So underwhelmed

I have been going to the Oakwood for years, but my last several experiences there have made me…read morereconsider. This past Tuesday, a friend and I went there for dinner before the Dasha concert down the street at the Park Theatre. The lone waitress shared that it was her second shift. The place was packed and we waited an eternity for our drinks, and what should have been an enjoyable dining experience ended up being a tense, unpleasant few hours. The waitress was not to be faulted at all. The management should have known to have another server given that a packed to the rafters concert was going on a block away. The food was great, but I will be hard pressed to go back there again.

My friend tried the interesting burger called The Oakwood Crown and Coke burger. He said the juice tasted like that popular alcoholic drink. He said it was pretty delicious. I tried the 2 egg Beet Latkes. It was unique to me. The beet cakes were tasty and that sauce that comes with it was delicious! The horseradish dill sour cream. I liked this healthy meal. The potatoes were also well made. The waitress was super helpful and sweet. This place seems welcoming to all types of people from what I saw. I definitely recommend this place.

You can get some of the best restaurant-made eggs Benedict in the city here, not to mention they've got a bunch of good Mennonite options, which is oddly rare for a city that has so many Mennonites.

3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more Fun fact: I pass by Rae's Bistro every weekday on my way to work. Fun fact 2: I have never eaten at Rae's Bistro until recently. I was coming home with two friends after a day at Bird's Hill Park, and decided to stop by here so I can try here for the first time. The ambiance here is quite upscale with the lighting inside. I had the seafood linguine, which came with a garlic toast. It was really good, though at a slightly elevated price. I would say for the north half of the city, this is the best upscale cuisine. However, I would rank this below Cafe Carlo and Tre Visi. Not to take away anything from here though, it's still a great place to dine. Service was excellent throughout here.

+.5 for service…read more Smitty's, compared to the popular Manitoba grown chain restaurants (e.g: Tavern, Stella's), is more family focused, with an older clientele. I don't dine at Smitty's often, but I won't say no to their wing deals and their poutine. I actually had their poutine in my most recent visit, as I wasn't hungry and wanted something light for dinner. Their poutine was above average in my opinion, their fries are fine, they're generous with their curds, and their gravy wasn't bad either. Nothing amazing, but it did the job. Service was excellent here. For what it's worth, Smitty's in my opinion has the best value for wing night specials. Their wings are on the smaller side, but it does equate to more wings since it's per pound. I'd say that's where you'd see me dine here more.

3.5/5, +.5 for service…read more Went to Block and Blade for a friend's birthday party. We were part of a large group of about 20, and the server accommodated us very well. The restaurant is slightly upscale, with a wealth of food options at somewhat higher than average prices. I was torn between a few items, but I settled with a starter french onion soup and an entree of chicken tenders and fries. I've had lots of french onion soups in my life. This one was quite good; the gruyere cheese was plentiful and was gooey, which is how it should be. The chicken tenders were crispy with plenty of batter. The honey dill sauce is on the creamy side, which I didn't like as much but I can imagine others preferring the creaminess of the sauce. It won't be a place that'll be on my regular visit rotation due to location and price, but I'd definitely have this in my list of suggestions for a special occasion.

I had in the neighborhood. One time I sat at a table; one time I sat at the bar and a third time I saw it in a booth. On each occasion, I waited between 15 and 20 minutes for somebody to even come to the table. On two of the occasions, the food came before I had a set up at the table, and the server disappeared, leaving me with no cutlery and a meal rapidly getting colder. The first time this happened I contacted the restaurant management and said that rather than leave a bad review, I would like to speak to him about it. It obviously didn't help because the next three visits were just as disastrous.

The food served at this location, in my opinion, is just as good as the locations in the U.S., if not slightly better.
