The Granite Room — Restaurant in Iqaluit

Didn’t know what to expect, but the experience exceeded my expectations. Celebrating a nephew’s wedding anniversary, we opted for the best rated place. The decor was tasteful, and with ambiance lighting. The staff were the 3 Fs. Fast, friendly and fficient. OK...maybe 2 Fs and an E. Yes it’s pricey, but expect to pay double for just about all restaurants. What you get is a gourmet meal, that will not only delight, but fill you up.

A fact that he failed to mention the first time I spoke to him. A fact that was also not stated on Google or their website.

Considering that not much is open on Sunday, they might want to disclose that information for people visiting Iqaluit. Especially since the restaurant is part of the...

This place is a popular spot for special occasions in town such as anniversary dinners, birthdays, etc. The menu sometimes changes, occasionally spotlighting local foods, but for the most part, the fare here is extremely overpriced and underwhelming for the quality. Myself and my partner have been more than a handful of times, and now only commit to going if a group of friends invite us. Service is subpar at the best of times, as you can feel "ushered" in and...
