Service was very good, though a companion found the hostess rude in the way she asked to take off his hat, but all props to our servers and the chefs. Food was filling and appetizing. You pay for both experience and quality. Though high scale, it didn't feel suffocating to have conversations, which is a must in any dining experience I find. Came for the first time for Burger Week, which by the way was awesome! The beef patty was great, the lobster deep fried deliciousness, but not oily at all, and the sauce just went well with the bitterness of arugula (which I usually stay away from), really lovely! ....But will probably come at least once or twice every year (it is a bit pricey, once we bought a bottle of wine, I wanted to keep buying more, and once I tried the cheesecake, I bought another to go... I mean, it's hard to stop). Steak medium well done (because my friend is crazy T.T), but he said it was also scrumptious! I LOVE the Jumbo Scallops with the passionfruit beurre blanc... T.T I mean, it was so juicy and the sauce was so beautiful, that I swirled the huge and crispy, not oily, filling onion rings all over it, and the bread from the burger... I wish I could have just bought the sauce by itself... xD) And cheese toast... what? Gotta get the cheese toast, just saying, been making it perfectly since 1955. Desserts: Banana Foster is out, my god! So SAD!! I really wanted to see the flames dance on desserts... but alas... Belgian Chocolate Bourbon Cake, which had more of a thick, smooth mouse, not too heavy, but by itself can be eaten between two people east and be satisfied. But I crave desserts more, so I got the cheesecake as well. I am not a fan of cheesecake, usually too crumbly crust, too heavy cake with either too sweet or too sour, and a berry compote tries to complement the cheesecake, but I never found one that really could, until today. I haven't reviewed foods for so long because it's been a while since I've been excited (Though shout out to Sous Sol, I will also be making a lengthy review for them soon. Though in poor taste because this is a review for Hy's Steakhouse, but I am highly recommending both! Support xD). Best cheesecake ever..so far!! XD Had a lovely hint of orange in the cheesecake, creamy and not too heavy or dense, the crust was soft, but not too crumbly, it came apart together with the cake, and you can enjoy together. The berry compote was perfect as not overwhelmed by tartness of berries, nor the sugar. I got TWO! And I wanted more... Gotta save up and come back again. Everyone should clamour to ask for Banana Foster again!! No travelling anytime soon, so where is the closest place I can get that, with the quality that surely Hy's Steakhouse will bring again. And thank you for all the servers we had on the second floor from 8is to 10ish PM, beautiful service and quality! Wish I could remember names, but can't xD I wish I can write more... truly highly recommend!

This was my first time back at Hy's after a 15+ year hiatus. I decided to treat myself to a solo dinner as I had heard and read great things. I started off with the roasted red pepper soup, it was delicious. There was no bread included, which I think would have been a nice addition to the meal. I then had the 6oz filet with mashed potatoes and was told I could order a half portion of veggies as it was just for me, which was great! (all the sides here are extra, most meals only come with the meat and potatoes) My meal came out pretty quickly and everything tasted good but nothing was spectacular. I had asked for my steak medium and by the time I got to the middle of my steak, it was borderline rare. My server was really friendly and checked in often enough so I did mention this in passing. I told them they could just redo that same steak and they ended up giving me new potatoes and new mushrooms. The redone steak was OK - still a bit on the underdone side but I let it slide. The potatoes and mushrooms were cold so it seems like they had already plated up potatoes and just used that, rather than giving me hot fresh ones. I had also mentioned to my server that I'd be interested in wine for the main course. But, they never came back to get my wine order, which would have been a super easy sell. I let that slide too, no big deal as I had a drink with my appetizer. At one point I assume my server got busy in another section so another gentleman was helping me, his service was great. I had a decaf with baileys and the key lime pie, both were a good way to end this OK meal. Overall, after spending over $140 for just myself, I had such high expectations but it was an underwhelming experience. It seems like the quality at The Keg is much better and you get more bang for your buck there.

First time to Hy's in Winnipeg. Laurence, you did not disappoint. You're service provided was exceptional. The only reason this is a 4 star rather than a 5 star is because of the restaurant placement of the silverware for the dining area. Laid out on the linen, not an actual traditional setup for restaurant silverware storage. Right behind my seat was where servers would attend to grab silverware for all the tables seated for the evening. On the window sill directly behind my seat. Where it may seem I am being overly particular, the caliber of this restaurant, and the investment you put forth for this dining experience would hopefully ensure the restaurant is mindful of the placement of the go to spot for servers to place the tools for the eve. This reservation was booked through OpenTable.ca. Orders were: Caesar salad, escargot, black and blue ahi tuna, cheese bread for starter. Entree's: 20oz rib steak with basmati, 20oz rib steak with mash potato, and my 17 year old enjoyed steak and lobster, fries, with sauteed crimini mushrooms on the side. Drinks were plentiful, refilled often, and refreshing. The food was delicious, and I don't regret the choice in dining for my family and I. Hy's is one of my most favorite steak houses, and I recommend a visit.

It wasn't worth the price. I love a good steak and I've had some excellent steaks in my life. The steaks here were good, but not 60-100$ per person. I had the steak Neptune with the new York cut. The steak tasted good but for the cost of the meal the amount of crab and asparagus were not worth it. I have had meals just as good for less. The drinks are astronomically expensive. An old fashioned for 19$.... It tasted good but was not even close to the best one I've ever had. For that price I want the best tasting ever. The bananas Foster was a fun show and tasted delicious. The Salted caramel creme brule was not good at all. The custard was thick and almost jellyfish. The taste was decent but the texture was off-putting for a creme brule. The service was 5 stars across the board. If I were to come here again it would be good the service. So incredibly friendly, chatty but not intrusive. Great recommendations without being pushy. The service had a good pace from sitting down to drinks to appys, the meal, and dessert. The atmosphere was very comfortable, I liked the restaurant very much but for the price I feel like there could have been more or at the very least top quality.

Went here for the first time and we’re so happy we finally got to try Hy’s! Our server Marvin was great! The athmosphere was very cozy and relaxing. Price was understandly steep but it’s a once in a while kind of date night for us. We ordered cheese toast, a couple drinks, NY strip and Prawns and Scallops dish. Cheese toast was okay, some toasts were overdone/too crispy. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was flavourful. I originally wanted to get the Beef wellington but it only comes prepared raw!! That was quite disappointing as I’ve enjoyed this dish prepared medium rare before… unsure if more could be done to allow guests to enjoy it to at least medium rare. Moving on, the prawns and scallops dish was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had!!! I could eat 3 plateful of those. Mashed potato is simple, smooth mashed potato. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and we’ll be back to try more!

Great dining experience. When we arrived, the front staff were welcoming and friendly, and offered to take our coats. We were then escorted to our seats upstairs, where we were greeted by our waiter, Glenn. Glenn was very pleasant and attentive (refilled our water glasses when it was low etc), and answered all the questions that I had about food / drinks. The food was amazing and delicious. We ordered the oysters rockefeller, but they didn't have any oysters (due to the supply chain issue and the flood in B.C) so we were subbed with the bacon and scallops, we also ordered the steak neptune, peppercorn steak, and also ordered the bananas foster. Kenny, who prepared the tableside dessert for us was awesome as well. Overall, great experience and good food.
