There were so many children and it was very noisy. Was impossible to carry on a conversation. Will definitely try it another evening.More infoCaribou Restaurant + Wine BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Canadian• Thunder Bay•4.8
- RRyanToronto / Ontario •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoVery positive experience. Service was very friendly and attentive. Glasses were never dry and food came out quickly. The focaccia bread they give was fresh, soft, delicious and a nice touch. Tuna appetizer was one of the best pieces of tuna I’ve ever had. Very delicious. They did a great job preparing a variety of flavours and textures on that plate. Portion was quite small but fair for the price. The contrary for the risotto balls and crab cakes we got, as the portions were massive and a great value for their delicious taste. I had the rack of lamb entree, and it was my first time ever eating lamb. It was quite a wonderful meal and came with fresh veggies and a very silky serving of mashed potatoes. My fiancé had the 12oz black angus strip steak and it was arguably the best cut of meat that either of us have ever had. It came with veggies and a very nice risotto. We finished our meal with their skor cheesecake and that was such a delicious, sweet treat. Fantastic experience.More infoLot 66Price: Expensive• Canadian• Thunder Bay•4.9
