We had an intimate wedding reception here and I truly recommend them! It was easy coordinating with Laura. She responded to our emails quickly, and she is so knowledgeable with wedding details, you could tell she is experienced! We had some kids who were overlooked...by their parents and were going out of our venue and were entering into the lounge, and Laura is so polite to remind us about it. Very nice and approachable! We arrived to stay in the bridal room that we rented and they served us coffee and water. Their property alone is already so beautiful that we didn’t have to put up a lot of decorations. The bride and groom were also able to have their wedding pictorials around the property! We didn’t have to go to another park to do that, whereas in other hotels, they don’t have that kind of property. What I liked best is that they have a menu with options for the main course for our guests. It wasn’t the traditional menu like in other hotels where you can only choose a uniform course for all of the guests like a chicken cordon bleu. I’ve coordinated wedding before and so this is what I loved about The Gates! We had options from salmon, to chicken, to steak, and vegetarian! They served the food in a timely manner. They served them all together so it wasn’t awkward that one table had their food while another haven’t. Service was topnotch! Also shoutout to a guy that we weren’t able to get his name, I think he might be the manager. We noticed that he was paying attention to us while we were setting up the decors. He came and asked us what we needed, and immediately helped us out. We had a guitar and live singer last minute, and he came help set up the equipment for us! Thank you The Gates of a non-stressful wedding. We will surely recommend you to our community. We will come back for other weddings and occasions in our family!More
My first time here, the food was just ok. I could have made a better meal at home for $150. The service was good and the surroundings was beautiful. Don’t think I would return here to eat. I had the chicken and my partner had...the rack of lamb, neither was worth the price, $35 and $48, salad was an addition $8 each.More
Our wedding was scheduled for May 17 2020 and after weeks and weeks of terrible news due to the pandemic, Ray lent us a generous and helping hand and offered us to use the beautiful backyard and patio at the Gates for our small and...initiate wedding ceremony and reception. If it wasn't for him, our dream wedding wouldn't have come true. Ray was a pleasure to deal with, always friendly and kind, and he continued to go above and beyond to exceed our needs. Since he has hosted many weddings before, he was really helpful in suggesting cute little ideas that would make our wedding even more special than what we would have planned ourselves (for example, suggesting that we light off a few Chinese lanterns for memorable photos). Him and his staff offered the highest degree of customer service that I have ever experienced. Our guests won't stop ranting about how amazing the food was, and how beautiful the space was. We are forever grateful!! We can't wait to come back for our all future wedding anniversaries and special occasions. Thanks for everything Ray!!More
Nice quaint ambience , rooms for all occasions. Menu is good. Prices are about right . Even nicer in the summer with the horses in the corral.
We visited The Gates on December 18 to find that the power was out in Headingley. We were cheerfully greeted and the parameters of our dinner carefully outlined. We dined by candlelight at a table graciously pulled to the fireside for guaranteed warmth, and had...a delightful meal of scallops and prawns with their delicious signature salad. Talk about 'Got lemons . . . make lemonade!' An excellent evening all around!More
Went tonight for my Birthday- totally impressed - best calamari I've had in yrs and the escargot was like a meal not the traditional serving - unique. I have not ordered Prime Rib out for a few yrs as it's been disappointing at the chairs-...My wife and I said as good a Prime Rib weve ever had - really great service from Loren- or Lauren? A real sweetie- Being close in oak Bluff we will be backMore
My husband surprised me with one of the most memorable dates we have ever had! The ambiance of not only the restaurant, but the grounds, the animals, and even the buildings are a visual buffet! The serving staff is beyond exemplary, the food is like...a ballet for the pallet, and after you are finished dining, you can take carrots and feed the horses (who love to see the guests!) What an experience! From the moment we first drove in, until long after we left, it remains one of the best experiences of my life! If you are looking for somewhere to have not only a meal, but a full hospitality experience, please go and visit The Gates! This is one of those hidden gems and after the first visit, the bar for fine dining will be raised beyond your previous expectations! I would like to thank them for their hospitality in making this a very fond memory every time we visit.More
I attended a catered event this month and was not disappointed. Great food and service. Special thanks to management for offering other refreshment choices that were to my liking
I was part of a group of 8 celebrating our friends 20th wedding anniversary. This restaurant always offers a beautiful setting. The food is delicious and makes any occasion special. The staff was very friendly and attentive. One person in the group was Celiac and...the waiter bent over backwards to accommodate him.More
We attended a wedding celebration there this past weekend. The property is pristine and inviting and the staff were very pleasant and most accommodating. The meal and appetizers were well prepared and presented. We will certainly be back.
Perfect location for a family get together or business. Service was above board and the food was excellent. I would recommend going just to check it out.
Again another wonderful meal at one of Winnipeg’s finer dining spots. I selected the Pickerel as it was Good Friday and it was done to absolute perfection along with a lovely side Caesar salad and vegetables. My only complaint is the fact that the restrooms...are on the second floor so that anyone with mobility problems will find this to be a problem. Service could be a bit more attentive as I had to be rather demonstrative at times to get the servers attention. Price point is moderately high but I would say that portions are large and one must bring a healthy appetite in order to finish that which is served. Desserts are a bit of a disappointment. Nothing on the dessert menu rang any bells for either of us. A review of this meal ending is definitely in order.More
It was absolutely wonderful. The service was superb. The food fantastic and the atmosphere was great . I just loved it. I would recommend it highly.
Our friends were celebrating their wedding anniversary so they picked The Gates to have dinner after the theatre. It was very busy on Saturday night with what looked like several groups but we were shown to a lovely table for four near the sun room...at the front. The servers were friendly and efficient. We all had a pre-dinner drink and toasted their anniversary. Our husbands both have hearing aids and the room was pleasantly quiet even though all of the tables were full. That’s a bonus for conversation! Our food was all fabulous and we really enjoyed our dinner. Two of us ordered the 10 ounce prime rib which was perfectly cooked to medium rare and a surprisingly big portion. I couldn’t finish mine and should have ordered the 6 ounce. The sticky toffee pudding had two pieces of cake so was perfect for sharing which both couples did. The dinner was pricey, but worth it for a special occasion.More
