   My partner and myself celebrated our 5th anniversary here. Both our mocktails (Blood Orange Fizz & Classic Ceasar) were amazing, and so was our food. We'll definitely be back!

   The food is overpriced, poorly plated, the waitress was lovely, very polite. I have been to the restaurant before and it’s no better now. Never again😡also the noise is awful.

   My guests loved it - thought it was ‘high end’. The food was better than when it first opened. Excellent service.

   Neat decor with the pumps. Cold draft from the door came right to our table (we weren’t even in front of the door) so wondering if a curtain or something at the entrance would help before it starts to get really cold. Definitely energetic in terms of noise level which was ok for us on a Friday night. Food was good. Friendly service and some REALLY tasty drinks.

    James Avenue Pumphouse is one of our favourite spots in Winnipeg. The ambience is great, the decoration is top-notch, the servers are great, and the food is amazing. They have one of the best burgers in town, maybe the best one.

    The food, service, decor, and location made this dining experience one of my favourites in the city. So much so that I took another group of friends there the following week and they had the same to say.

    Had a nephew in from Phoenix to take in some Jets game. Went to the Pumphouse pre matinee game. Did not disappoint. Beautiful atmosphere, awesome service. Did not eat but food looked good. Have a son who is Winnipeg FD, so story hit home. Recommend!!!

    Our party of 6 increased to 10. We had made two separate reservations on Open Table prior to arriving. Once we arrived , we asked if it was too much trouble to put our tables close together (the restaurant was wide open at 1:30). The hostess with red hair made us feel like we made her job more difficult. We patiently waited as the hostess walked away displaying her displeasure in our request. We quickly changed our minds and took the tables that were already prepared for our parties. We already felt unwelcomed. Our party quickly ate and left.

    We both had the schnitzel sandwich, I had the regular and my husband had the memphis style. We both really enjoyed it. The food is tasty but the real star of the restaurant is the vintage pumphouse equipment, very cool.

    Very disappointing as we’d been waiting awhile to come here. Service was horrible, server barely came to the table. I’m a waitress myself and you should be checking on your table within their first few bites … we ordered 1 dish which took almost 30 minutes to come out even when the 6 other tables in the restaurant were already halfway through their meals when we ordered. Food didn’t come correct and that could’ve been fixed if our server checked on us but minus bringing us water when we first sat down he didn’t return till we finished the dish. The manager was nice enough to discount it but overall very disappointed. I was looking forward to trying cocktails and other dishes but based off the issue for 1 dish we drank our waters and left. we’ve already agreed we won’t be coming back.

    It is a very different ambiance but excactly what you'd expect from its name. Food pricing is excellent, small menu makes for easy choices.

    I have had The Perogy and Dan Dan Thai an embarrassing amount of times and they have always been excellent. Today not much was good, the pump is really neat. The perogy, Dan Dan noodles and shrimp were overcooked and mushy. The Dan Dan Thai was missing the Thai Basil, Gai Lan and Kapow Chili Oil and when I pointed this out their only suggestion was to charge extra for some chili oil. Our server never asked how we liked our food, probably because I had a whole plate of food barely touched leftover. We ordered curly fries, they sent straight. We didn't want them, didn't eat them and weren't charged. The person who dropped our food off forgot a beer we ordered and gave us one at no charge once reminded, that was appreciated. It was our annivesary, I didn't want to have to fight for another dish or refund. Everyone makes mistakes; it's how a business handles them that reflects their customer service. We did contact restaurant before leaving negative review, they never replied.

    The food was very tasty and included a vegetarian option for my companion. Service generally good. It was a bit noisy because of a loud customer at the next table. Wonderful to be able to view the old pumping station.

    My friend and I made dinner reservation for pre- ballet dining. We absolutely loved our experience. From our wonderful server, Sam, to the manager and all the other staff I can only give the highest rating. The food experience matched our service experience. The snow fries are sublime. And our main choices from the ‘small plates’ menu were amazingly tasty - Medi flatbread and Mango Pesto Cauliflower - sooo good. Great wine list. And proximity to MTC, Tom Hendry Warehouse Theatres and the Centennial Concert Hall is such a bonus. Not to mention the ambience of the venue. The pump house view from our table made us feel as though we were in a European or Montreal setting. Well done

    We have been to The Pumphouse multiple times before. Last night we were disappointed with the food. The salad on the souvlaki platter had too much oregano as a dressing The double burger was tasteless and the bun fell apart My daughter enjoyed the braised beef tacos took one to go but wasn’t offered the dipping sauce The sorbet was very sweet the blue raspberry flavour was a chunk of ice In the bowl Again we’ve been there multiple times before
