Was there for an event held by my company. Nice large room for the number of people. But I have to say the food was not spectacular. I had the ham and asparagus sandwich. It was tasty and an interesting combination but not outstanding. Not sure I would order it again. Servers were great.
Great meal. A bit pricey but good experience
Wonderful food, great service. Overall fantastic experience!
Great staff that always help with a smile. Great location with a nice garden, surrounded by trees and the Red River. Food and drinks are good. Great for weddings and large work parties.
To celebrate our 50th Anniversary a small group of school-days friends we'd been close to for over 50 yrs, some of whom were attendants at our wedding, were our dinner guests at The Gates. We booked space through Ray, and preplanned a menu and extras with Marley. The venue was perfect. The food was excellent. The service was unobtrusive and attentive. We, and "all" of our guests, were extremely impressed. Five stars isn't a high enough rating for our experience overall!
RAY you went above and beyond for our winter wedding (day). I cannot thank you and the amazing staff enough xoxo the food, the atmosphere the STAFF and the service 5 stars *****
Rugby team had our annual gala in the ballroom. Was a great venue for us. We had 70-80 people attend and it was the perfect venue size for us.
Wonderful sunday brunch (if a little expensive). Staff were friendly and very attentive even when busy!
Delicious food, large portions. Pricey but well worth it!!!
Excellent food, extremely polite servers, never a disappointing time here.
Beautiful inside and out! Food and service and fantastic! A very nice date!
Great venue for a wedding. Good was just amazing
Great food and service for Michelle and Matt's reception.
We took our boys on Feb 10, 2019 for Sunday brunch as it was their birthday. We had been many times in the past but have just recently moved back to Winnipeg. The cost has gone way up to $45 per person and there was less selection. Also the hot food was not very hot. Luke warm to almost cold. There was nothing underneath the heating trays to keep it warm. Also my husband wanted fried eggs but the omelette station would not make them. They had to order from the kitchen. When he finally got them (after asking 2 times) they were cold and undercooked. It definitely isn't what it use to be. Not worth the money at all. We will not be returning.
Atmosphere, food and service was absolutely amazing! Can't wait to go back in the summer and dine at a table on the patio. We definitely had a 5 star evening.
Incredible facility! Great Service! Family atmosphere
I have been here a few times. Twice for a wedding. Every time the experience was fantastic. Staff are always efficient and friendly, the environment is always clean and welcoming, and the food is always great.
The Gates on Roblin is by far the best intimate wedding venue in Winnipeg. Me and my husband contacted the owner of the restaurant just two weeks prior to our wedding date and with his help we organized a beautiful wedding. Honestly, we could not have done it without his help. His contacts, advise, recommendations and experience were much appreciated. The Gates staff is extremely accommodating, flexible and friendly and the food was AMAZING.
The Sunday Brunch Buffet is amazing with so many different stations and great selections to choose from. The food was great and so was the service.
Beautiful location and the food is unreal. Great atmosphere. Horses out front are a great touch.
Excellent staff! Great country style location! Very picturesque! Excelent food and catering!
The Gates is a beautiful venue, with amazing food, professional and courteous staff. Our wedding was everything we wanted and the night went along flawlessly. Even during the pandemic they were extremely accommodating. I highly recommend the Gates for any event, because you won’t be disappointed.
Fine dining with nice views and good food. Nice wine selection
We recently celebrated the wedding of our children (Tianna and David) at the Gates on Roblin and cannot thank the Gates and its employees enough for what was a most perfect day. We are especially indebted to the couple's wedding event manager, Nadine, who turned this special family moment into a lifetime memory of enjoyment and happiness. We had known by its reputation that the Gates on Roblin was a great place for a wedding given its high end standards for an elegant, yet natural setting, tasty meals and hospitable staff. What the Gates provided to us was all of that and much more. The guidance at rehearsal of the vows, spectacular decorating of the grand ballroom, pampering us at the charming gazebo, treating our guests with utmost warmth, appetizers and meal choices so delicious beyond surprise, and all within such very comfortable surroundings. In addition to Nadine's kindness and support regardless of hour of day, we experienced staff so gracious that we felt like royalty. It's clear that the Gates has something really special going on because being in the company of such great employees who placed our guests needs so high in importance does not happen by chance. Thank you sincerely Mr. Louie, your most hospitable staff and most especially Nadine of LONCH Event Management. With only handful of special days like these that come along in a lifetime, you made Tianna and David's wedding extra special and and care provided with genuine professionalism and kindness. With our deepest appreciation, Mark and Diane Prydun October 2021
Went for Father's Day brunch, $45 per adult and $25 for kids - well worth it. Coffee and orange juice was included, with unlimited refills. The staff were genuinely kind and the waiters were very nice and attentive. Also - there was an entire room just for desserts! AND A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. All the food was so delicious I can't wait to find an excuse to go again soon.
Sunday dinner was perfect. It's a beautiful intimate setting. My prime rib was done perfectly, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
This place isn't good enough. The food is great but they serve small portions... I need to go home and eat a pizza cuz it's just not enough. Update: I went and got McDonald's and wasn't allowed to celebrate the wedding because of outside food... that wouldn't be a problem if they gave a decent sized meal! I'm 190 pounds. Not small but not big either. I ate sushi at 6pm, wedding at 6:30, meal at 10 that they served and right after I went to McDonald's... (Because a soup and salad will really fill you up...) good response Ray! I'm lactose intolerant and you serve cheese soup and sprinkle cheese on your dainty salad and after I go and get a burger you offer a cream dessert? No kidding I'm pushing it away! Service was great, kind ppl. The place looks nice but again, not enough food
Another must visit. Beautiful location close to the city. A+ food and service
Great experience and great service very friendly staff. Had a small issue but it was rectified no reason to leave a negative review over trivialities. All in all we have dined here on more than a few experiences and enjoy the setting
The menu looks good, but the food was 'okay', one meal was sent back as the steak was under cooked. Not as good as I once had there, but would try again
Love the food and service. Ambience is amazing too. Literally the BEST place to eat in Winnipeg.
Went for the father’s day brunch it was absolutely delicious!
Dine in
Rosemary chicken breading was soggy skin was not crisp, broccoli cheese soup was very grainy it appeared as though the cheese split, and broccoli and been blended. Desert was quite good over Disappointed there was no WiFi or cell service in the banquet hall
Awesome burger for Le Burger week. Hands down the best burger I've ever had in my life! Nice touch with the truffle mayo and bun.
Haven’t been here in approximately ten years. Didn’t realize how much I miss this place. The Atmosphere here is amazing. Took my beautiful wife here for her bday. The staff are amazing and knowledgeable and professional. All the questions we had were answered. We never felt rushed nor pushed out the door. The food was amazing and good portions. The desert was amazing. The old house is full of history and beautiful decor. Would totally recommend a friend and family to dine here.
We had a lunch there today and it was a really nice experience. Our waitress was good and everything came out quickly. I don't think they had a lot of options on the lunch menu and I did not love my drink- named the hibiscus but that is my fault because I forgot it had grape fruit juice. I don't like grape fruit juice. I thought it had hibiscus tea or something.Also the clientele was a bit older. Mind you, it's a weekday afternoon,maybe retirees? The younger audience are probably at work. I am a big foodie and the starter bread rolls was not warm like you would find at red lobster. I also thought my veggie pasta was not as creamy and thick as I would have liked. But my husbands hot beef was good. We spent 95$+15% tip for 2 starters, a drink, 2 main and a creme brulee( which was quite good). All in all, I liked the sun room. It gave a summer feel. I liked that it was quiet and I had a nice time. Would I go again??? Maybe for dinner. We did have a good time generally.
Excellent service. The brunch was reasonable. Avery beautiful place.
My husband and I got married at The Gates last month and we could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Nadine is the most incredible, professional and accommodating person to work with. As we got married at a time when wedding guest numbers and such were up in the air, she kept us up to date on all new health guidelines and provided alternatives if needed all the time. There was no question she couldn't answer - dealing with The Gates is absolutely stress free for planning any event and the grounds are breathtaking. There are not enough words to praise and thank Nadine and all the staff of The Gates for making our wedding the most beautiful day to remember. Amazing food, beautiful scenery and the most attention staff one could ever hope for. Thank you for all you did - we look forward to coming back!
Went for Sunday Brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good atmosphere, food was great. Good service. Will go again in future.
Now this is the most beautiful and recognized private event centre in Winnipeg
Excellent location...exceptional service...and fine food...
Lovely location delectable food.
Excellent fiod and great service!
Not recommended! For that price, waiting service should be top rate. I had better customer service at McDonalds. Food is mediocre, if not bland. All hype!
Had an event here for our daughter's christening and the guests not only loved the food, the area was picturesque, quiet, and we noticed most of our guests were "checking in" :D
That lunch there for a freinds birthday it was amazing great food and serve
55th wedding anniversary, what better place to be. The Gates On Roblin is outside of Winnipeg, a very short distance from the Perimeter highway surrounding Winnipeg. Country setting. Picture below was taken as we left about 9:30 in the evening. It's an old prestigious home that has been converted. Been there many times and even had out 50th Wedding Anniversary party in their upstairs room. Food is a bit pricy, but it's great.....you pay for what you get. Service terrific and atmosphere wonderful. Lighting a little bit low if your eyes are "old" but who's perfect. Got to know the GM a very nice person who strives to meet everything you expect in a special night out. If you have never been there, make the reservation and try it out. I remember one February a few years ago, we had a reservation for a birthday supper. Remember it's cold in Manitoba in February. That day it touched the -40 degree level but we went out. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves Guess others had cancelled. The plus was the staff kept us company and we had our own little party. A terrific and wonderful memory of that February evening.
The service was deplorable. We arrived at the Gates with a Sunday brunch reservation and not only did they lose our reservation for 5 but they made no attempt to accommodate us. We were very disappointed and will not be back anytime soon.
I can not say enough about The Gates and its staff. Had my wedding mid May and they took care of everything. If we had forgotten something in the room they provided.......they went for us to get it. They made sure our quests were well taken care of while we did our pictures. Even while me and my wife were out on the property having pictures, Ray was tracking us down to bring us drinks and appetizers!!!! So huge thanks again!!!
Fine dining at affordable pricing. Prime rib: unbelievable!
Very nice venue. We were a party of 12 . Service was mediocre. Wild rice mushroom soup was flavorless. The asparagus should be void of the inedible tough parts.The New York strip. Was cooked as ordered but the sauce had no discernable flavour. A chef should be embarrassed to serve second rate food.
Great meal and service.
The Gates on Roblin is such a beautiful place to celebrate any special event or just enjoy a relaxing evening out. They serve an amazing Sunday brunch! Have been here many times, for brunch and supper, and the service is always impecable! Their dishes are superb, delicious and very well presented! Definitely and highly recommend!
Nice place for hosting a group party. The foods are good and the venue is beautiful.
We have ordered lunch from The Gates on Roblin twice in the last month. The first time Ray helped me to my car with the order and this time he delivered it to our office himself. Ray and his staff are absolutely amazing and they go above and beyond. We've even eaten inside when COVID permitted and the service is always top notch. We will be back again and again!!!
Just stopped in for lunch and all the staff from hostess to servers and manager were friendly. Great meal and service.
Great customer service and excellent food and ambiance.
Great brunch buffet.
Was there for a celebration of life for my Auntie Stella and it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and accomodating in a very discreet manner. Lovely setting. Would definitely recommend it.
We, (Alli Mae Events) have coordinated numerous weddings and special functions at this venue and we can't say enough about Ray, Nadine and the entire team. They are always there to support and accommodate last minute changes or set up needs. Notably, they managed a ceremony move over in the middle of some pretty unstable weather conditions and their flexibility allowed our clients to have their outside dream wedding they envisioned for more than a year! We are always impressed with their responsiveness and attention to detail and can't wait to host a function there again soon!
Exceptional as usual. Good value for the price. Highly recommend the Chateaubriand for Two.
Fantastic upscale restaurant, Sunday brunch buffet can't be beat. Amazing food and service!
Just went for a lunch on the patio! Great food and service!
Great location for social functions. Excellent site, with a good looking venue and natural beauty. The food was also excellent!
My husband and I were married at The Gates last year; I would give that experience at 10 out of 10! Nadine was AMAZING, a true professional who was so pleasant and amazing to work with. I have attended weddings at The Gates prior to my own, and always had a good experience. I had never dined at the restaurant until recently... My husband booked a reservation at The Gates for our one year wedding anniversary, thinking it would be so special to return exactly a year to the day from our nuptials! He booked the reservation about a month in advance, told them it was our anniversary and that we were married at The Gates. We arrived to dinner that night and were seated in the front atrium that had a very noisy group of people, with young children, who were loud and running around. Don't get me wrong - those factors would be fine on any other night, but it just was NOT the romantic setting we were hoping for at all for our anniversary. It took 25 minutes for a waitress to approach us for the first time and it was to take a drink order. The waitress we had was very cold and unwelcoming; she did not seem to be having a good night. We were finally able to order food after about 40 minutes, despite menus closed and ready to order essentially right away. The food and wine was great - zero complaints about that. Honestly, it felt like our waitress could not have cared less about us, hardly paid attention or checked in on us. There was no mention by anyone that it was our anniversary, which was somewhat disappointing given we got married there (and spent a lot of money) the year before. The room was so distracting with the loud party that was there. I would have thought we'd be seated in a quieter area... I would still recommend The Gates for any kind of event, but I have to say - the experience we had that night at the restaurant left a very sour taste in our mouths and took away from how highly we saw The Gates prior to that night. I'm sure my review would look differently if it was just a regular night out for dinner - I was really expecting more for our anniversary, especially since we got married there!
Love the gates, we got married here a few years ago, and come back every year. So peaceful and with amazing food and service!
I love seafood and have travelled to many cities on the west and east coasts. The calamari that I had at the Gates was fresher and tastier than any seaside restaurant I’ve ever been to. I honestly don’t understand how it can be so good compared with restaurants with local fresh catch.
That might have been the best reuben sandwich I have ever had. The mushroom soup was also great.
Was our staff xmas brunch - buffet was nicely varied and well stocked. Staff and particularly our server were top notch. Conveniently 6 minutes from my home ! Will go for dinner SOON
Great night out with great food an service!
Good food. Nice venue!
Amazing food and atmosphere. A wide variety of dishes to suit any pallet, great service, and sublime entertainment. Truly a well rounded experience for all senses.
Wow, both service and food was excellent!! I can’t wait to go again. Well done!
Amazing! We come here every year on Valentines. 10/10 would recommend.
Food was terrible 3 out of 5 really bad
Unfortunately I wasn't overly impressed with my experience. The food was ok? Atmosphere was terrific. For $35 a plate I've had better tasting and better quality food. The prime rib was full of gristle. My panko loaded pickerel was tasteless. The risotto had and odd taste. Don't think I will return anytime soon. 4 plus star I think it was rated as? It barely gets my 3...
$116. plus a minimal tip! Very disappointed, although the food was adequate, the variety wasn't. Hardly any fruit choices, strawberries and melon. The same with the cheese...white or orange coloured, no variety either. Eggs Benedict were either rawish(I know that's not a word) or hard ( which was fine). No variety in the salads. But the croissants and cornbread and bacon and salmon were DELICIOUS! Then there was the service....very friendly, but not very attentive. They would pour coffee for one person, but wouldn't ask the others at the table, whom were also drinking coffee, if they wanted any. Never ever asked "how is everything?". Hardly cleared dishes without being called over. Way too expensive for what was offered. April 9th, 2018...follow up: Spoke to Ray today, after a few weeks of telephone tag. Extremely pleased with his insight and genuine concern for all involved...staff and customers. We definitely will be back to enjoy the Gates soon. Thank you.
Love going to the Gates on Roblin. Service is awesome, friendly. The atmosphere is relaxing and bright to have a meal and never rushed so family and friends can enjoy a second or third coffee to have a wonderful visit. Thank you
We loved the attentiveness of the staff and appreciated their commitment to us as a small party seated amongst a VERY large group. Can’t thank them enough for helping us celebrate!
The Gates was a wonderful setting to celebrate our special anniversary with our family. The Sunday brunch was exceptional. There was lots of variety and it was delicious.
Lovely place, delicious food, accommodating staff!
Food is amazing. Everyone was happy with their choice, and portions were generous but not ridiculous. I can't recommend desserts because no one ever had any room left to try one. We asked to eat in the lounge so we had a private dining room for our family. Service was attentive but not intrusive. This is a super expensive restaurant for us, but worthy of milestone celebrations.
Food is fantastic. Great atmosphere. Pricey, but worth it
Great service .. amazing buffet for a great price.
Enjoyed the patio for our anniversary. Awesome service and food! ????????❤????
Chicken was dry, garlic potatoes had no garlic, soup, desert and salad were ok, nothing great. Buns were very good but they were brought in and not made there. Used to be a good place to go with great food, but now seems to be living off of it's reputation.
Was in a party of 8. Everyone seems pleased with the food, the service and ambiance. I had the smoked duck... it was rather nice.
Just had a great meal -- Fabulous arctic char and first rate service. A very comfortable room in which to enjoy a leisurely meal.
Ray is a godsend. After weeks of terrible news related to COVID19 Ray facilitated a small outdoor ceremony within all public health recommendations. His staff is professional and courteous. The food is excellent. The property is beautiful. Our guests have been raving about how well things worked out given the current environment. We cannot wait for our next dinner out at The Gates on Roblin. Thank you for everything!
A fabulous selection of dining and meeting halls in a historic building.
Just want to take this opportunity to give a BIG THANK YOU to Ray & the staff! We had our daughter & son-in-laws wedding dinner here on July 17th. The staff were wonderful, even with 3 little ones play & moving around. The room was beautiful and set up just right. The food was exceptional, absolutely no complaints from anyone! You made this day very special & flow just perfectly. Thank you!
Had a friend get together here. It was such a great experience as we reserved an entire room for our group with kids. Service was fast and food was delicious.
Fantastic place to have any occasion celebration!!!!
The ambiance is superb! Food is great!
There's no real knock on the quality here, but there's no rave, either. Competent for sure, but under-whelming in general. Caesar salad that seemed to have a double dose of anchovy. Odd. Yorkshire popovers that were almost certainly made too long ahead of service. Prime rib that cried out for jus, or a spark of some kind for flavor. It's a terrific property, very nice ambiance. I don't know what will move us to return.
Service is good but the cost is way too much for grade of food
Great Great atmosphere... service was great.. married here 10years ago and came back today to celebrate my 10th anniversary
Amazing buffet!!! They only have it during brunch though.
For one of the best restaurants in west Winnipeg l think they are working on their reputation. I ordered a Keith's beer and waitress said ok. She came back 10 min later (slow) and said they were out so I ordered a ceaser which came 10 min later (slow) and it wasn't very good. My friend ordered a Crown and ginger ale and got a Crown and coke instead. We got there at 7pm and never got our meals until 9pm which were just warm not hot. When we got our bill (which was high) had 2 extra drinks on it. Waitress said she would correct it and came back stating the extra drinks were from a table down stairs. And as a group the tip is included in the bill at 18% not 15% as I think it should be. This is the second time I was not happy there and I won't be going back.
A restaurant at a nice surrounding. Food are good but a bit pricey.
Pretty place, very courteous and nice staff, the food is good but not exceptional.
The food and atmosphere was fantastic. I thought the servers did a great job with our large group.
Quite a setting, very cosy and private. Excellent Service and Food
This was my first time going, and our whole family went for my grandmothers 85th. More so than not, we had to ask for our coffee to be refilled, and one of the waitresses had a very poor attitude. After a negative interaction between a member of my family and one of the servers, the server had a very poor attitude towards my entire family. She would occassionally come, grab a debit machine every so often, then slam it back on the base. The same with carafes as well. It was so bad that eventually, what I can only assume was the head server, started checking in on our party. Still, we had to practically beg for more refills to the point where my family was serving beverages themselves. Overall, the brunch itself was excellent. The food was hot, fresh, and the overall atmosphere of the venue was nice. There were many different choices to select from. The "professionalism" however, (of one server), made the experience a little interesting, but we didn't let it spoil our families birthday brunch.
My parents had a wonderful time here on several occasions! I have yet to try it but they really enjoyed the key lime pie.
Food was mediocre for the price range. We had scallops for appetizer, duck and lamb for our main course. The scallops were small and overcooked. The main course was good but wasn’t memorable. The warm toffee pudding was good. I do say the mushrooms were delicious. We were there for valentine’s day and they placed us near a family with kids making a ruckus almost the entire meal. Somewhat a mood killer.
Just had our wedding here and couldn't be more happy. To us it was better then any other place in Winnipeg. They cater to groups up to 60 people in the front room of the building and hundreds in the back building. Food is 5star as discribed by all our family and friends that attended the wedding.
One of my favorite places. The service is impeccable. The ambiance is worth the visit . The food is always very good and totally affordable. I recommend you take a stroll and visit . You will not regret it.
Good service staff. I was attending a function and they did an amazing job of service and refreshments
Everything was perfect . 14 of us had a great meal , service and atmosphere wonderful.
Beautiful place, the property is gorgeous and they put on a great event!
The Ruben is good but I will drive through a snow storm (as I did today) for the panko crusted Pickerel, which is a bargain at $19 on the lunch menu. Sunday brunch is absolutely amazing and very nearly worth the $45 price tag. Cozy ambiance when it's busy, quiet and relaxing when it's not.
I loved it. The staff was very friendly and the food was so delicious and high quality!
Our wedding was scheduled for May 17 2020 and after weeks and weeks of terrible news due to the pandemic, Ray lent us a generous and helping hand and offered us to use the beautiful backyard and patio at the Gates for our small and initiate wedding ceremony and reception. If it wasn't for him, our dream wedding wouldn't have come true. Ray was a pleasure to deal with, always friendly and kind, and he continued to go above and beyond to exceed our needs. Since he has hosted many weddings before, he was really helpful in suggesting cute little ideas that would make our wedding even more special than what we would have planned ourselves (for example, suggesting that we light off a few Chinese lanterns for memorable photos). Him and his staff offered the highest degree of customer service that I have ever experienced. Our guests won't stop ranting about how amazing the food was, and how beautiful the space was. We are forever grateful!! We can't wait to come back for our all future wedding anniversaries and special occasions. Thanks for everything Ray!!
We had dinner reservations for four tonight our food was fantastic and our waiter. Thank you we will be back soon.
Lovely dining experience. Beautiful ambiance, excellent service, nice variety on menu to choose from.
Great food, great place, great atmosphere
Beautiful place with great staff, but the food was kind of underwhelming especially considering the price. The staff do a great job of looking after the guests, but I think the pricing and overall me u should be re-evaluated.
Dinner
I placed a reservation for 3 for brunch on Aug 12. I mentioned to the person on the phone that I had a gift certificate. He said no problem just present it to the waitress after the meal. It was our first time there ..we arrived about 35 mins before our 12:30 reservation but were greeted nicely and seated quickly. The serving staff were excellent and the food was superb. At the end of the meal we presented the gift certificate to the waitress and after a brief wait another lady appeared at our table explaining that they would not accept the certificate for reasons that I do not understand. This gift certificate was won from a company Christmas party. I think it is a short sighted business practice not to honor it. I would recommend that if anyone has any kind of gift certificate for this place...present it the moment you walk in .
I was at the gates March 9th for dinner. The duck was spectacular. The server was awesome!! Very beautiful place.
If I could give the gates 10 stars I would! My husband and I had our wedding here and everything from the staff, to the venue, to the food (!!!) far exceed our expectations. All of our guests still talk about how amazing the food was. …
The place is nice, came here for the wedding. The food is good but the servers don't wear mask. I think in this time that people are worried of getting sick "The Gates" should have their staff wear mask.
Service
My wife and I got married October 3rd 2020 at The Gates on Roblin. Not only was planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic complicated enough, we had only 8 days for the final decisions after social restrictions became limited to groups of 10. We couldn't have picked a better venue on a normal year, but the over-the-top efforts put in by Ray, Nadine, and the staff of The Gates on Roblin was phenomenal. We held an intimate reception of 10 in the full ballroom, beautiful lighting, decor, tableware and overall ambience. Our ceremony was outside in their well-manicured grounds, where we are able to have a musician play live for us. Only a few minutes outside the city, you would think you've gone hours into nature. Ray was involved in every aspect of our event. He was there Friday night to test sound and lights in the room, stocking the bar with all our favorite picks and providing us with all the technical support we needed. On Saturday he was seen doing every job from bartending and serving, to doing roadie work for our pianist. His commitment to his craft as a host and owner, as well as his determination to make this day perfect for us despite the circumstances was encouraging and raised our spirits. Nadine was our wedding coordinator and held our hands through all the lengthy processes of getting a wedding organized. She always responded to our emails and questions and was very thorough with her information. No question was ever too insignificant or irrational, her answers were always thoughtful. She was delightful to work with and helped make our visions come to fruition. Her experience was invaluable when we designed the ball room and built the structure of our day. She was also very helpful in pointing us the in the right direction for vendors and unique additions to our wedding. The services offered by The Gates on Roblin were well above our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with the reception, staff, food and estate grounds
High end restaurant with highly attentive staff that will serve you fast.
Absolutely beautiful place and amazing food. You'd figure they'd give the bride and bridesmaids something bigger than a broom closet to get ready in....
Our wedding was this past weekend at The Gates & we can't say enough great things about this venue! Leading up to the event, they were so flexible and accommodating during the COVID craziness. In the end, they made it possible for us to have as close to a normal wedding as possible, along with still following all of the health & safety guidelines to keep everyone safe! We had our dream wedding during COVID and couldn't be happier! The food was amazing and all of our guests kept telling us how full they were from the meal and are all still raving about the delicious late night poutine! Overall the service was great and we couldn't have asked for a better day! Nadine made the day stress free for me as our coordinator & Ray was so pleasant to deal with! We are so happy with our decision to go with The Gates as our wedding venue!
This place is such a romantic place for a date night. The people are so nice and the food is delicious. Lots of different things on the menu. Go for the Sunday brunch...better make a reservation ahead of time so you won't be disappointed. You get a harp player too on Sunday's. So fancy!
Fantastic food, great service & exceptional atmosphere. Excellent for date night, brunch is amazing. Have been coming here for some time now and have never been disappointed!
Fine dining and beautiful history. Will try and go again when I have an excuse to celebrate something big
Recommend this restaurant for special night out with your partner, office/work celebration. Great service, food and ambience.
This Restaurant is a beautiful piece of history with a fantastic menu.
Excellent Brunch! Well worth every penny!
I arranged a small family get together there last week and they were awesome. They gave us a room to ourselves and the food was off the charts good!
Such a great place. Always enjoy eating at The Gates! Steeped in history, great food, and great service.
Went here for the first time to take out my wife for an anniversary dinner. Heard great things, we both ordered their dinner special. For the most part, we were the only individuals in the dining room and it took over 50 minutes to have our food out.... They did their best to apologize and did "comp" our meal which we did appreciate (we didn't ask for it..) but I expected a better experience for such a "higher end" establishment. Will probably not return based on this experience.
unbelievable staff, amazing food, such a wonderful time
Great food, worth every penny. Would recommend it for any occasion.
I have never had a bad meal here, and I've been to dozens of catered weddings and events. This was their special veggie omlette, and it was fantastic. The cheese blend that it was filled with was to die for. I ordered the kale salad instead of the usually paired hash browns. It was crisp and tasty, the vinegarette was not overpowering, and everything was fresh. My water glass was refilled often and my server was great.
We made Mother's Day brunch reservations only to be called 1 week before and be told the person who took our reservation didn't know what he was doing and they could not accommodate us! We now can no longer get a reservation anywhere else being this close to Mother's Day. They person on the phone made excuse after excuse that it was not their problem and even told me that people book a year in advance. How is that relevant to me I made a reservation weeks before! In the end they blamed the person who took the reservation! If he is incompetent then why is he answering the phone? Also why am I getting a call 1 week before! They did try to offer me a sitting 3 hours later than what I booked in the mid afternoon basically when the brunch would be over. We already had plans made after our booked brunch so that was not an option. So disappointed we will never go here again and beware if you call to make a reservation it may not be a competent person you talk to!
We had our x mas party there service was great. Food a little on the cold side but still good
Beautiful venue. The food is amazing. Attention to detail.
Always a lovely spot. Have been going for years.
It is very difficult to understand that so beautifully settled restaurant and not the cheapest one has food which is plain,simple and lacking any kind of sophistication. Very sad to criticizes the most important person in the good restaurant - the chef!
The food is very average for the price. Not bad, but not great. below average service. Very nice location
Service was very good, food was ok
Gates is a very nice and large upscale resteraunt. It provides many rooms for dining . They provide wedding venue. Along with lunch and dinner there is also brunch. Free parking in large lot. Not a accessible by transit. Lunch today was nice but my meal was not too hot.
Great atmosphere and service. The prices aren't as high as you would expect from looking at the place.
The Gates is a fabulous restaurants. The setting is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the food is delicious. It is well worth the drive, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion.
Celebration for friends mother was held... Couldn't ask for Better service, Day or views, etc.. Can't be Cheap... If u have the money, it's a nice spot.
Nice place to eat, tasty food and good service. Highly recommend for Christmas parties.
Had an amazing brunch here, the atmosphere is wonderful and the service is top notch.
Nice peaceful place to take family members on a special occasion. Food is good and waitress are helpful.
Was not impressed..very plain Jane.. very unorganized..fly was in food plus ice.. Plates were dirty Dust rim ..hair nets not wore By kitchen staff and the list goes on and on
Went there for my company xmas party was very good lots of food to choose from
The Gates on Roblin was amazing coordinating everything for our wedding day. The endless options for appetizers and plated meals were so great and allowing us to put our personal touches by bringing in specialty drinks for our rehearsal dinner and wedding made it that much more enjoyable. Nadine coordinated with the vendors so that everything was taken care of and the room looked spectacular in the end. Any small changes that we needed/wanted last minute due to Covid were taken care of with no questions asked. Due to the size of the ballroom, we were still able to have a good sized wedding with our closest family and friends and we are so grateful we were able to get married on our date with minor adjustments. The grounds are so beautiful that not only did we get to enjoy the ceremony space and reception, but the gardens and wrap around deck added even more enjoyment for us and our guests. The day went flawlessly and I would recommend choosing the Gates for any wedding or event.
The BEST place in Winnipeg so far! Amazing service, amazing food, amazing scene and the price is REALLY fair!!
Great place to have in Headingley! Beautiful building! Go check it out!
Always heard good things about this place, we ended up went there for breakfast. Food was awesome and service is top notch. Will come back soon!
Meal and service good. Dessert stale/old. Not the first time.
Had our wedding and many other events there. Ray is amazing and is always makes himself available. The Gates has beautiful grounds and has always been very accommodating to our events and their specific needs. To top it all off, their food is always fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend them.
We had their G-Unit burger. What an experience, never had anything like it, well seasoned meat and the overall craftsmanship of the burger was incomparable to anything I've ever had before. Only thing I wished was different was the choice of music. Overall great service and friendly staff!
Lovely place to eat out in Headingley. The menu is terrific and I really like the atmosphere.
A fine dinning experience with a large selection that will make you want to come back.
We just had an opportunity to attend a conference at The Gates On Roblin and to say we were impressed would be an understatement. It was a big event and there was lunch and dinner served and they were both exceptional. The food was healthy, fresh, high quality and delicious. The staff was professional, courteous and created a great atmosphere. So glad we attended and had a chance to experience the beautiful Gates On Roblin first hand. If you have an opportunity to go I’d highly recommend it!
I would give this place a 5 but the quality has gone down a little, and prices remain quite high. They should look at ways to keep food fresh for the Sunday brunch.
Beautiful restaurant! The food was so delicious and service was amazing! Its pricey but well worth it!
We recently had our wedding catered by The Gates and, needless to say, it was the best choice we could have made! Nadine, the event manager, was an absolute rock star - she was so accommodating and made the whole planning process so simple! The food and service were out of this world - our guests were all raving about how great it all was! You will not go wrong with choosing The Gates for any private event catering - they are truly amazing in every aspect!
Awesome food and atmosphere. A must if you're in Manitoba
The food is amazing though pricey. Cute little rooms that feeling romantic. Perfect for a small celebration.
Always a solid dining experience with exceptional food and staff!
I had the pleasure of working with Nadine on a mutual clients wedding recently. As a planner I work with many venue coordinators. Nadine was wonderful to deal with. She was organized and always prompt in returning emails. I can't wait to work with her and The Gates again.
If you are looking for a great date night or venue for celebrations such as weddings and anniversaries; this is the place to hold it! Always accommodating!
My now husband and I hosted our wedding reception at The Gates and the entire experience was top notch. Ray is amazing - he was extremely helpful and gave great advice on menu and drink selection. He and his team went above and beyond to make the evening perfect. Looking for your ceremony venue, wedding reception or both? Hands down you have got to ask for Ray - he will make sure it's everything you dreamed! Five stars all the way!
Meal type
I was there on Thursday with a large party and a few things were not as good as they could have been. We all ordered drinks and the wine order was placed. The wine came out before the drinks and the waitress asked if we wanted it served. Not before the drinks!! I ordered the onion soup. There was far too much bread and it absorbed the broth which made just a bowl of mush. I didn’t want to make a fuss so I took it home and threw it out. The venue was very nice. The calamari was delicious and a very large serving. The beet salad was delicious
Food and service is really good. Old style building.
My husband and I wanted to book a venue that was close to the city that we didn’t have to bus our guests out to, while still being peaceful and quiet. Enter The Gates on Roblin! We were instantly drawn to the immaculate gardens and stunning …
The staff were so polite. My small children were back and forth to the bar and playing all night long and the staff ensured they were having fun and felt included. It was so nice.
Very elegant nice quiet peaceful place to party!
Pretty good. I dunno if it is worth the price though. Had brunch and the eggs benedict was rock hard underneath. But other than that, not bad.
Well first disappointing experience we've had, we always look forward to celebrating our Anniversary with an evening out for dinner at The Gates! Service was great, but when I went to order my favorite meal the Bison short ribs I was informed that there was none! So after some deliberation I decided on the Lamb, based on my wife ordering that meal on a previous dinner out and it was a rack that was absolutely decadent. This time it was very disappointing to say the least, flavor wise was ok, but 2 tiny medallions with 4 bones hardly constitutes a Rack! Approximately 2 oz. of meat. The Ceasar salad was bland and no bread basket was even offered or delivered with our salads, when all the other tables recieved a nice basket of baked goods.???? I was so excited to go as all previous experiences were always superb! Ray and his staff were always and I mean always accomodating and so personable. (Thank you Ray for replying and reaching out to us! We'll definitely be back to enjoy your beautiful restaurant and menu! You're the best.... Rob and Linda.
attended a function, chicken was dry and soup boiling hot, other than that it was good
My husband and I had our wedding at the Gates on Roblin! It was a small intimate wedding, and Ray and Laura were amazing to work with. They were very responsive to all our endless questions, they were so accomodating with moving our dates and quickly putting a plan together for our date. Everything was stunning and so well organized! Food at the Gates is sooo delicious too, we were very happy on how everything turned out, how simple the day went, how everything was arranged for us and everything. It was a perfect day, thank you for helping us make it perfect, even tough it was in the middle of covid!
We visit regularly and cell reception is bad but high quality food, staff, and facilities.
great place for any event. The staff was so accommodating during our company event and made sure we were all set. Also had a party here and the facilities are great. Would usually stop by here for lunch and they have great food and great service! Amazing environment!
Food and service was great but it was cold in the room.
