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.

I love that this place looks more upscale - think Earls, but doesn't compromise the quality of their food. It is the only place I know of where you can get new style sashimi (sashimi that is slightly seared) and roles that are wrapped with either cucumber or radish. YUM! The last time I went here I tried their features roll which was called a velvet something or other. I was hesitant because it was $22 but it came with around 10 pieces and was AMAZballs. No regrets ordering it at all. Which does make me let you know that the sushi is on the pricey side, but worth it. All of the ingrediants are fresh and the drinks are well made. Some are weird combinations - like the ginger pear. Take that off the menu. When you make a reservation also think of where you want to sit. They have a party type room off the front hostess desk which is completely private, they have the lounge, the main floor dining (one side open to the chefs and the other closed) then they have the upstairs and the back room. All really cool.

This is the worst place I've ever eaten. I will preface by saying that I'm a very non-fussy eater,…read moreI like all food except green beans, and I even like those if you put butter on top, and I have only had 2 bad restaurant experiences in my life: in 2004 and 2024, the 2 times I ate at Pony Corral. In 2004 I was 12 and on a school trip. We waited 2 hours for our food, which I remember because ADHD 12yos keep track of things like that. When it eventually came, I thought, "This spaghetti is bad," which I'd never thought about spaghetti before in my young life. I rarely think it, even now, about any food. I can eat notoriously bad meals. For a while in my 20s I regularly ate chickpeas with mayonnaise, because I just needed FUEL. I also thought, "This spaghetti is cold," which made sense since the spaghetti and I had waited so long to unite. My 2nd visit to the Pony Corral was yesterday, and it was bad vibes off the hop. The hostess asked me to take off my "backpack," a satchel that is not so much what you imagine when you think "backpack," but rather one of those teeny wimpy girlbags with silly little shoulder straps, that we all started wearing for fashion but found it was more convenient than a purse and easier on our back problems as we became Old. Purse-like, mine held such small feminine essentials as my wallet, phone, Kleenex, lip balm, and an instrument cable which, in all fairness, I could have used to attempt to strangle another customer had I really wanted to (the attempt would have been unsuccessful, as I am small and weak). I was told to go out and leave my bag in the car, despite having come in out of a blizzard, and with no concern for the fact that I might have valuables that I carry on my person because that is literally what women/people do with their valuable things in their little bags. What restaurant asks people to leave their bags in the car? I've been asked at stores to leave a large backpack behind the counter, which I'm fine with, because people probably steal expensive things from those stores in large backpacks. What am I going to steal at Pony Corral? I don't even want to take MY OWN LEFTOVERS home from Pony Corral, never mind anything else. Pony Corral, you caught me on the wrong day. It was 11:30 a.m. and I had woken up early to play music at my dear grandfather's funeral, and I couldn't scoff at your absurd rule-that-no-other-restaurant-has and walk back into the blizzard and find somewhere else to eat, because my entire extended family was already sitting waiting to order some bland, bland food. Is it possible you thought I was smuggling alcohol inside in my teeny tiny backpack, at 11:30 a.m. on a weekday? Because I was very, very sad, and that might be a reasonable thing to suspect if you had known that fact about me, which you didn't. I would even have opened my teeny backpack and displayed its tragic dearth of alcohol or Pony-Corral-silverware, and explained that the cable was not for strangling customers using my tiny noodle arms but for plugging in my guitar to play sad music at my grandfather's funeral. I know, I know: a woman should not get special treatment just because it's her 93yo grandfather's funeral. But is it "special treatment" for a person not to have to walk into a fcking blizzard to stash their purse with their wallet and phone and kleenex and lip balm so they can enjoy 2 hours (plus the time it took to eat, haha jk) with their family, consuming the most tasteless yam fries they have ever experienced with a dip that approximates salad dressing? To be clear, I know this rule wasn't invented by the hostess enforcing it, and that gently questioning her (which I did) was not going to change the stupid policy, and being a smartass about it (which I barely did) was not going to enlighten her to its ludicrousness, and yelling at her (which I did not do) was not going to bring back my dead grandfather. Which is why I went back into the blizzard and left my little bag in the car. Notes: 1. My cousin found a "short and curly" (her words) in her coleslaw. Of course all hair is beautiful no matter what body part it originates from, but this might be the one context in which it's acceptable to discriminate in favour of "tall and straight." 2. Another cousin received a ham omelette, and when he explained that he doesn't eat pork and had ordered corned beef, was told, "yes they are the same" and had to debate about it until the manager came and apologized. 3. Another cousin brought a larger bag, big enough to fit his laptop, and was not harassed about it, and I'm sure it's not because unlike me he's tall and straight, but one can't help but notice these things. One stars. The star is because the staff were mostly nice and if they seemed glum I don't blame them, it's not their fault they work at the stupid Pony Corral.

The restaurant was very busy that evening. I took the required amount of insulin for the meal that I ate. When I arrived home my Blood Glucose (BG) was over 20 which is a very dangerous level. The normal range is between 4-7. It was then that I realized that I was given a regular cola by mistake and not the sugar free cola that I ordered. It took many hours to finally bringing my BG down which I did by taking a great amount of insulin. I phoned the restaurant and explained what happened with the goal of letting them know to be more careful as something like this is very dangerous for a diabetic. The person answering my call apologized, took my name and number and told me that her supervisor would call me the following day. I have yet to hear from them. As I said I wanted to make them aware that something like this is very dangerous for a diabetic especially if you end up drinking more then one glass of cola. Needless to say, I am not very happy that they wouldn't even return my call.

I had thought about going to The Keg for dinner. However, I wasn't feeling like spending a ton of money for a single meal, as yummy as any steak at this eatery is. I had just finished seeing a great movie at the Cineplex on McGillivray. I was ready for dinner. It was my birthday. The Keg was fairly close. I did a search for other steakhouses. I found Mr Mikes. It was new to me. I headed over to it. Mr Mikes wasn't difficult to find. It was a three-minute drive from Cineplex. It's located in a plaza across from Starbucks. I backed into an available parking spot and walked in. It didn't take long for a staffer to greet me. She asked me if I wanted a booth or a table. I went with the former and got a comfy one. Summer was my server. Summer in Winnipeg with Summer. Cool! I ordered water and a Diet Coke to start. Service was impeccable, as another staffer came by a few minutes later to ask if I needed anything. Mr Mikes is a franchise that hails from Vancouver. It was started by a couple of guys in Vancouver whose first name isn't Mike. I don't know the story behind the name. Anyway, like Earls, Mr Mikes has made its way eastbound. This location is the only one in Winnipeg. There are currently three locations in southwestern Ontario. The one in Kitchener is new. I'll need to visit it when I'm back in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. Mr Mikes is big on steaks and burgers. The dining experience was casual and laidback. I got these items: - Oscars sirloin lobster - Diet Coke The oscars sirloin lobster is the most bang for your buck. It features a seven-ounce sirloin with lobster and seafood on top, along with hollandaise. It comes with onion rings, veggies, and garlic mashed potatoes. This meal screamed my name. I got the sirloin medium-well. I drank my water and Diet Coke. Both were cold and refreshing. I got another Diet Coke refill during my visit. My food didn't take long to arrive. It was impressive considering that it was roughly 6:30 pm on a Thursday evening. I never know what to expect when the description says that veggies are a side. Would they be gross, like mushy squash? Nope! I got the most delicate asparagus. Yay! I will say that the sirloin was a bit difficult to cut through. I don't know if it was actually the meat or my knife. It was still yummy and seasoned well. I loved everything else. The lobster and seafood on top was delicious. This place didn't skimp on the seafood. There were lumps on lobster and shrimp. Excellent! The garlic mashed potatoes were comforting. They weren't super garlicky, but you knew that the garlic was there. I loved the asparagus. It was easy to cut and eat. They were lightly salted and cooked perfectly. The onion rings were enjoyable. They were crispy on the outside. The onion's natural sweetness came through each ring. The only downside was being asked how everything was tasting with a mouthful of food. It happens more to me in Winnipeg, which is something I don't miss. The question could have been timed better. It doesn't take much to look at someone's jaw to determine whether chewing is occurring. If the customer is chewing, maybe ask the question later if you're dying to know. Summer asked whether I had room for dessert after I had polished off my main. I didn't. This meal was filling and satisfying. I asked for the bill. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. Done! I used the washroom before I started my drive back to Steinbach. The women's washroom simply had She on the door with red lips. Cool! The washroom stall that I used was clean. The entire washroom was nicely maintained. I liked some of the images on the wall as I headed out the door: - Some of my best friends are vegan - Bad spellers of the world untie - I licked it so it's mine All relatable. Super fun and funny! I had a wonderful dinner here. Prices are decent and the food was yummy. (287)
