We stopped in for the first time at the Silver Heights last night. What a great experience! Friendly staff and the food was excellent. The prawn appetizer was the best I've had since I was in France 15 years ago. The house red wine was lovely as well. Our compliments to the chef - two very happy customers. We'll be back.
I’m back with another St. James restaurant. This time it’s Silver Heights Restaurant. Silver Heights Restaurant & Lounge is a family steakhouse located on Portage Avenue. A couple of things about this place caught my eye as I was traveling in St. James over the last little while. The first is that the restaurant has a large black awning that really stands out against the building. The second is they advertise themselves as having the best BBQ ribs in town,
I was in Winnipeg last week on business. A good friend of mine lives within walking distance of the Silver Heights restaurant so we decided to meet there for dinner and drinks. The sign outside read, "famous for ribs". I decided to order a full slab of baby backs. They were just ok. They were tender but lacked seasoning and the sauce was really sweet. For sides, I chose a Caesar salad and fries. Again, they were just ok. I must say that the service was really good. We were drinking pitchers of beer and never once were we left dry. We sat on the bar side. It could do with a good cleaning. A renovation might even be in order. However, I have a feeling that the regulars might revolt if that were to happen. The Silver Heights is the typical Winnipeg bar where neighbourhood people gather to watch curling and drink OV.
