Silver Heights Restaurant and Lounge

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 recently visited Silver Heights Restaurant Lounge in St. James and was impressed by the experience. This family steakhouse on Portage Avenue caught my attention with its striking black awning and reputation for 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.

I had to visit Silver Heights during Le Burger Week in the city to try their 'Soup 'r Baked' burger. This burger features a ground chuck patty, bacon, mayo, sour cream, chives, loaded baked potato soup, and cheese all on a pretzel bun. Overall, it was a fantastic burger! I really appreciated the unique idea of incorporating their famous soup into a burger. The only downside for me was that I would have preferred the bun to be toasted and to have a bit of salt. However, I took the burger to go and it held up really well! Great experience overall.
