seine river cafe

got there around 5 pm. no wait; seated immediately. there was oneorderof a beef dip and oneorderof a roast beef dinner and soup. everything was excellent. the waitress was very efficient and friendly. will need to come again and try something different.

not expensive and good. sometimes, when i don't feel like cooking, iorder"veggie skillet" through skip the dishes. i've been at the restaurant a few times as well but it's always full, lots of people so a bit too noisy for me.

first time to this cafe, busy waited about 15 mins. to get seated, received our coffee and ordered. waited over an hour and still no breakfast, by this time there were many empty tables but the cooks were so busy filling orders for skip the dishes they seemed to have forgotten about the people sitting waiting for theirorderin the restaurant . after two tables that were seated after us received theirorderand we were still waiting for ours we got up and left. my first visit turned out to be my last.

do not bother so not worth the waiting for a table then the waiting to get yourorderacross! food was cold ( one thing i hate is fn cold food) myorderwas placed on my table incorrectly! firstordercame with green bell peepers when i specifically said no green peppers, second try came with bread again ordered without bread due to my celiac disease!! what a f****n disappointment ..... would rather drive the long commute to nicks inn!

absolutely worst customer service i have ever had in my life.  all the prices on the menu are wrong, their steak sandwich platter is now $18.99 gone up from $13.99. we had to have the person who answered the phone call us back to tell us different prices multiple times. when i had cancelled theorderfor the steak sandwich and called back toordersomething else she had explained the otherorderwas already ready was i sure wanted toordermore, well no i suppose not? so now my office is all ready to eat besides myself. very unimpressed with this business, i had never been, my work is across the street, and it would've been very easy to make a customer out of me considering iorderfood daily but no. i officially will never try seine river cafe. 

sincerely, 

not a fan.

my partner ordered the king of the road sandwich with hashbrowns on the side, and anorderof the au jus normally served with the beef dip. i had a basic breakfast with two eggs, sausages, and pancakes. very impressed by the quality of food. we watched the kitchen slice the roast beef for the sandwich to order, and it was incredible. very good flavour and properly cooked. au jus was good, but not amazing. eggs cooked precisely to order, and the most delicious fluffy sweet pancakes i've had in ages. let's talk hashbrowns though. hashbrowns can be so polarizing. these are shredded ones, possibly from frozen (hard to really tell), but cooked beautifully. the crispy bits were crisp and golden and not burnt or hard. the crispiness was nicely distributed throughout the whole portion, so each bite had that snap of fried potato. the rest of the potato was firm and well cooked, rather than soggy, squishy, or grainy like they are in so many other places. for me, these hashbrowns were my holy grail. we were only there once, and around brunch time, just catching the tail end of what was clearly a busy sunday breakfast, but we were very happy with our food and our service.

had 1 hour to eat. my boyfriend and i wanted to try something new and decided with this restaurant. we had only an hour to eat so we were pretty nervous since there was 4 names ahead of us. i asked the server if quick breakfasts were possible as my boyfriend had to work at 12pm and we were in the middle of a sunday brunch rush. she offered to take ourorderwhile we waited. we were seated within 15 minutes and received our drinks no more than a min after sitting down. 5 minutes later our food came and it was absolutely delicious. we were very pleased with the service and we definitely will be retuning in the near future. i should note... from the moment we got there at 10:45, we finished eating and paid by 11:25!

great place to eat.. i hear this place has lineups around the corner before it even opens on the weekends for breakfast, and with good reason! the food was fantastic! i got the mexican chicken omellette w/pancakes & a sideorderof fries (it was suppertime and i'd missed out on lunch). all i can say is i'll never need to worry about ordering a side dish again, even if i've missed a meal, because the portions were just right for a big guy like me. normally the pancakes served with breakfast are thin but these were about twice as thick as the normal ones i've seen at other restaraunts. the omellette was great (particularly with the sour cream it's served with) and very filling.

i'll definitely check this place out again and would recommend it to any of my circle of friends.

8.5/10

service! any time one considers the attractiveness of a potential dining place, service is always important. i am tough to impress when it comes to service, because the only thing that turns me off faster than rude or negligent service at a restaurant is that recent brand of phony, cloying, patronizing service of the big box store variety. thankfully, seine river café boasts neither. their service is sincere and attentive. your server will recommend things without hesitation showing their confidence and investment in what they bring to your table. which brings me to the food. i am not one for going out for brunch every sunday. i usually don't like that i'm paying too much for something i can do a lot better in my kitchen. i also hate that in addition i usually must endure that wal-mart greeter style of service and the loud cramped dining experience. however, seine river café is more than worth it. these cooks pay close attention to little details... the texture is flawless. the eggs benedict, which i've had so many bad examples of that i seldomorderit, was absolutely fabulous. everything was crispy in all the right places, and while their hollandaise sauce might not be the real deal, it as good as a real properly-made hollandaise. (and no doubt as rich) all in all, it is a great place for a breakfast, perhaps winnipeg's best, and i look forward to having supper here sometime.
