I thought it was kind of nice but the greasy butter did seem to upset my stomach. My friend ordered the nacho chips and they were pretty delicious but they also seemed greasy and made my stomach flip a bit. I kind of think that someone should proceed with caution when eating here if they don't know the restaurant well. It would be nice for the menu to list what kind of oils are used to cook things etc.

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.

Don't bother going to this restaurant if you're alone and over 50 years old. You'll be ignored…read more On the four separate occasions, I went there on the way to a regular appointment. 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.

All the food was amazing and I could not criticize anything. The restaurant was very busy with a lot of people, but it was not Overly noisy. The waiter provided some excellent recommendations and we were happy with everything. The quality of food was amazing considering how busy they were. Kudos to the chef. The servers were very attentive and aware of who needed water refills. A little more expensive than the typical restaurant but worth the cost.

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.

When we left we were still hungry & came home & had something else to eat. That meal with wine was $133. but definitely not worth it. We will not be going back there again as there are too many other restaurants in Winnipeg that has much better food & at a lower cost.

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 opted for the bone-in rib steak & added lobster tail, twice baked potato & mushrooms on the side. The lobster tail was definitely the star of the show on the plate. The lobster meat was sweet enough, the butter wasn't even necessary. The rib steak was a bit too peppery for me and didn't have the marbling I usually find in this cut. The twice baked potato was good, and I can see how some people are a fan of it. I prefer thin mushroom slices and not the whole mushroom, but again, to each their own. A bit on the pricier side, so might be worth a try if you're around and want a bit nicer of a dinner.
