The food was generally very good, though I didn't find a 5 star item for myself here yet, but I just sampled a small bit of their menu.
They got the 5 stars though because their service was great.

My friend has an allergy. It's kind of a big one for Mexican restaurants. Can't have chillies. The owner actually came out to talk to us and tried to find a solution (there wasn't one) but even suggested he help us get an order in to the restaurant across the street for my friend. I thought that was exceptionally kind.

It's a very comfortable place and I'm looking forward to finding my 5 star food item.

We ordered the rajas con queso. It's a stringy cheese they told us, but there was no cheese pull. We didn't wait that long to eat but it wasn't served hot enough that it was able to come apart and was more like a brick of cheese. Flavor was great. Preferred it with the crispy tortillas and ate the other ones by themselves as they were flavorful on their own.

Also got an order of the enchiladas. Solid 4 star. It reaches closer to 5 if you add the magical dust they have on the table. I'm not sure what the spices are but they were pretty delicious.

We did metered street parking, but I suspect they might have a free parking lot behind the building. I didn't investigate further and forgot to ask since we had already paid for parking.

Ramallah is one of my favorite restaurants in Winnipeg. Found out they opened up a second location so thought I'd drop by.

As you can tell from the photos, this location is a little small, but comfortable and airy. It is more of a pickup /takeout place, but you do have the option to sit inside.

The food is consistent and delicious.

Pro tip:
Order the falafels and the hummus

This is the place where I've introduced people and converted them to lovers of those food.

Parking is available in a medium shared lot.

I am sad they no longer sell the brunch for 2 though.

Nice Asian restaurant with some excellent options. Not everyone was winners for us, but there were some notable standouts.

Spring rolls 5 stars
The sauce on this was excellent, the spring rolls were very fresh

Chicken wing appetizer 5 stars
Decent sized very crispy chicken wings

Crispy duck 3.75 stars
It said fried crispy boneless duck but it should have added breaded. I thought it was going to be crispy duck skin and not a breading.
The sauce was a generic sauce that didn't have much depth.

Hot and sour soup 3 stars
This was A skip for me. Not enough flavor but still overly salty for me.

Egg drop soup 4 stars
It was better than the hot and sour soup though a bit too salty, but I know some people prefer a saltier stock

Grilled bbq pork 4 stars
Good meat, I didn't order the dish but tried a little of it

I was told the pho was very good here but I did not try it personally

Parking is in a large shared lot.
Service was friendly, easy going and casual.

Fine dining served in a more casual laid back atmosphere.

The table setting says fine dining.

We went for our anniversary dinner (and told them on the reservation). The host seated us at an odd location at first which was a table just inside the main dining area of the second floor but it was in the doorway. Our back was to the other side of the dining room that they turned off the lights to. (Aka: darkness)
We asked to switch seats to the balcony area over looking the atrium which was much more pleasant and romantic. I would highly suggest requesting for this.

We started off our meal with the duck wings.
They were not dry (a good point). The sauce was an orange sauce (duck is typically paired with it). I give it 4 stars.

Dinner comes with bread service served with a whipped butter. The bread rolls are served hot and fresh

Ribeye steak 5 stars
Grilled nicely, served at the right temperature. It hit all the right spots. You were able to cut it with a butter knife. My man cut it with his fork to show how tender it was at some points

Filet 11 oz Oscar style 4 stars
It just didn't compare to the ribeye. The extra cost of Oscar style seems worth it as it's a generous amount of lump crab and you get a few spears of asparagus as well. I do not have a huge appetite so if given the choice I would have gone for the ribeye.

White truffle Garlic mashed potatoes
Taste is 5 stars but if it's supposed to have white truffle I don't taste it which would drop it to a 4 if that's your expectation.

Baked sweet potato 3 stars
I wanted to love it, the sauce is paired with us very nice, but the sweet potato itself just didn't taste very good. Maybe it was a fluke we got a mediocre to bad one? I make sweet potatoes all the time and this one just wasn't ok got me.

I'd recommend a glass of the alias red to go with your steak. It was very good.

My husband booked it as an anniversary dinner, so we did get a complimenty New York cheesecake with a candle.

We ordered the banana bread dessert. 4 stars
I liked it, but I'm not a fan of cooked nuts in my dessert. If you like it, this might be a 5 for you.

Service was friendly and laid back. There were not many people in the restaurant the evening we went so the server had a lot of time to talk with us. He was genuine and seemed to enjoy his job.

This restaurant is located in the old market where the atrium is. Parking was typical of trying to find it in the old market, we came early and did not have a problem.

First visit
The bun bo hue was a 3.5 star, not being as flavorful as I'd like. I did notice another reviewer had mentioned that.

The combo vermicelli bowl was 4 stars for me. Good solid option.

The decor is nice and it's a very comfortable place to eat.
Service was friendly.
