In Regina for work & was craving a nice meal did a little looking around & decided on here & I am sure glad I did the food was amazing. I ordered the mushroom carpaccio as an appy & the crispy stuffed chicken thighs on polenta as my main course, the menu changes all the time so these items may not be available. The mushrooms carpaccio is thinly sliced portabella mushrooms that are marinated & is topped with a crab salad of arugula, crab meat & carrots & was fantastic. The chicken thighs were cooked perfectly with nice crispy skin & was stuffed with a mixture of tomatoes, olives, onions & sausage that looked like they were stewed together & all this was placed on top of a smoked creamy polenta. The entre was fantastic especially the polenta y far the best polenta I have ever eaten & when you add the stuffed thighs to it perfection!

Went there on advice of friends. I went there for my 50th birthday and I was presently surprised with the quality of the food. I drove in from Moose Jaw and I will again. I will definitely refer anyone of my friends to give it a try..

Best high end restaurant in Regina!

Only real complaint is that the atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but the food definitely makes up for that. Why can't Regina have more nice things?!

My favourite "fancy dinner" restaurant! The menu is different without being weird, the food is almost always excellent, and the service is good. It is the best in Regina and very reliable. It's the only place I will go for special occasions. Yes it is expensive, about $125 per couple (including tip), but it is worth it.

This is the best (only?) high end ,meal I have had in Regina... very glad I came here!

Pricing is beyond reasonable for the quality of food, but the wine list and atmosphere aren't that impressive. Very minor points when you consider how awesome the food is. I will definitely return!

The Creek has been our go-to since we moved here from Vancouver five years ago. We experienced the tapas and tasting on a Monday night recently and are upset we didn't come sooner. The set menu for two started us off with a trio of lamb ravioli, duck confit strudel and pimento cheese stuffed mushroom caps. The soup of the evening was a mushroom and blue cheese so we thought we should maybe split one of those as well and we weren't disappointed. The tasting portion of the meal first brought us a pistachio crusted halibut on a bed of basmati rice that made us feel like we were back on the coast. Our second dish was a honey jerk short rib with a wild mushroom potatoe crepe that melted in your mouth. For dessert the server brought us a delicious lemon curd tart which finished off our meal perfectly. My company has hosted several functions here over the last few years and the staff has always been accommodating to our group and specifically my colleagues food allergies and special requests. We will be back soon

Wonderful dinner. I took my partner to the creek for his birthday and we had a great experience. It was our first time and we found it quaint but a wonderful atmosphere for a special occasion. The waiter seated us right away and he was very attentive. We shared a plate of their daily tapas, which had great variety and flavours. We did have to wait a while for our entrees to come out but they were delicious. I had one of their specials, a prosciutto-wrapped halibut with a red pepper sauce. It was cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We will return and recommend the place to friends.

Very Good, not Great, But Very Good!. We went on a Wednesday Night. we were the 2nd couple to arrive. The atmosphere is quaint, but the building has a musky smell to it. This dissipated once the place filled up and food was being cooked.
We had 2 servers, neither introduced themselves which I feel is a no no in the service industry, especially a restaurant, but they were very kind and nice. We started with the tapas which were awesome and had the Halibut Special and the Pecan Chicken Special entrees which were all so very very good! I personally would have liked to see a few more veggies on my plate, but still very good. For desserts we had the Creme Brulee and the Chocolate Lava cake. Was disappointed in the Brulee but the Lava Cake was pretty good, have had better.

Final Thoughts:
Would go back for appetizers and wine definitely!
Would all so go back for entrees, but not dessert.
Wish they had a more private dining area.
Reminds me of what the Mediterranean Bistro use to be many many years ago.

Very Nice!. This is a very nice restaurant. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is relaxing. If you visit this restaurant I would highly recommend going on a Monday evening as we did. The menu was creative and had something for everyone. Presentation of the plates was top notch. We went this time with a large group but it is good for any size crowd. I will tell all my friends to check this one out!

Amazing Experience and Food. I can't begin to explain how wonderful this little gem on 13th is. The food is extraordinary, the restaurant is quiet and well maintained.
With a rotating menu so there is always something new and exiting.
I definitely recommend the pistachio crusted lamb-chops and roasted asparagus

This is probably the best restaurant in the city! Romantic, outstanding food, and the service is impeccable! We go every year on our anniversary. Make sure to call for a reservation, it is not a large dining room!

The best meal I've had in months and months. I took my husband there for his birthday with some friends, and every single one of us loved what we ate. My steak was done to perfection, the meal was large without being oversized, and they remembered to refill my coffee, which a lot of restaurants neglect if you're not paying for a more expensive drink.

If I could afford it, I'd be back there every week.

Just had mother's day dinner here. Really great tasting food, from the apps to the entrees. We ordered different items so I had a taste of each. All tasted great to my expectations. Small cozy place, so make reso's before you come. All in all, great tasting food.

Best food in Regina. Consistently great quality and product. The cooks challenge conventional taste combinations to successfully produce an amazing journey for your taste buds and eyes. They are great about accommodating gluten allergies without issue, one of our favourite spots in Regina.

Love it!. I left Regina a year ago, and I still think of their delicious brunch. The spinach feta omlette is wonderful, and the coffee is good too. I only wish they offered brunch more often. Next time I am in Regina, The Creek brunch is on the top of my list.

When I was in high school, it was normal to trek over the Kowloon House for the Won Ton Soup. The Creek Bistro continues to make this item. It has also expanded the vistas of the cooking and culinary experience in Regina.

Anything served that uses local fair or builds upon Saskatchewan produce is world class. What do I mean? It parallels the Crillion in Paris. I had the opportunity to compare the food in a one week period.

In parallel to the meals served at Michael Stadtlander's Eigensinn Farm, local fare is bright, clear with defined flavors and contrasting textures. It is satisfying and overall a unique experience.

Where I get frustrated is with efforts to parallel other regions and genres of cooking. Some of the dishes can be a shadow of the original. Nevertheless, I have eaten the best steak and fries, not baring Paris, here in Regina. Indeed the luck of the cow, and right cooking time.

The restrictive alcohol laws of Sask, harkening back to prohibition era temperance sentiments, prevents the development of a wine list to match the food. But this will change with time.

This is truly a culinary gem of Regina and should not be overlooked.

Cheers

Great food, finest ingredients, talented and creative chefs! Plenty of veggie!. I stumbled onto this restaurant quite by accident and am so very glad that I did!

The food was excellent, especially considering that ultimately what I ordered was not even on the menu. I happen to be a vegetarian and the wait staff was only too eager to inform me that it would be no problem at all, "Just let me check with the chef to see what options we have available tonight."

My expectation was that there would be a "token" vegetarian dish, nothing special, just there to "keep the peace." I was QUITE delighted to learn that the chef was prepared to make any of three different selections, all of which sounded interesting and delicious. I opted for a vegetable terrine in puffed pastry. It was wonderfully prepared with a savory sauce between the layers and just a hint of mild spice. All around simply delicious and satisfying. Reasonably priced, too!

Now, then don't let me set the expectation that it's all about the veggies. ;-) There was an even wider range of interesting sounding selections for the carnivores, as well, and the restaurant was filled with folks who were obviously enjoying the "regular" food, direct from the menu.

I'll definitely be back for more!

I snapped a photo of the menu, even though the wait staff informed me that it does change frequently, according to the seasonally available ingredients.

The selection of tapas when we went (a Thursday) was unbelievable! They had frog legs, Brie with compote, muscles, and everything was made with delicate care. The presentation was superb (don’t judge the photo, I only snapped it after we had partially destroyed the board!). Just a great twist on some classics to make them delicious and scrumptious!

Wonderful brunch. I had the breakfast bison burger, and my husband the breakfast butter chicken on naan. They were both excellent. Fantastic coffee. Reasonably priced for a unique and elegant brunch - about $40 for the two of us including our coffees. Great service. Only complaint is that it isn't open Sundays during the summer because we want to go back tomorrow before we leave town!

Nice casual restaurant with a unique menu. Waitress was friendly and relaxed. Bison burger was great, and seafood platter was big enough for two people to share. A couple of minor complaints, one could be corrected, the other one maybe not- waitress did not ask us if we wanted any dessert whatsoever, and the guy sitting behind us seemed to think everyone else in the restaurant enjoyed the sound of his voice as much as he did.

We had a lovely dinner for 2 at The Creek! Having not eaten there in about 10 years, I wasn’t sure if the quality would be what I remembered it to be, but it absolutely was! Our meals were absolutely delicious and the server was a lovely, personable fellow. The only thing that makes this a 4 star review instead of a 5 is that the wait staff were complaining audibly to each other about another coworker, which isn’t something any patron needs to hear.

Worth the flight to Regina. How this place doesn't have a full 5 star rating I don't know. I had the cashew and mushroom loaf. Just sublime taste. And the Thai coconut rice that came with it was an interesting counter-punch of flavour. And cardamom ice cream! Where else can you get that?

Ambiance and service lovely - consistent with fine-casual dining. Dinner was beautifully presented but most importantly, was comprised of masterfully combined distinct, vibrant flavours and textures. A delightful experience!
