This place can be great or can be a miss. I've been for work functions and hockey banquets and the foods been great and the foods been average. It's worth going if it's not "out of the way".

I did not enjoy the buffet. The pork loin was tough, the meatballs had no taste, the cabbage rolls needed more cooking time, perogies were ok, salad bar was ok and dessert bar was ok. Was it worth almost $30 per person? Nope. Would I return? Nope. Would I recommend it to someone? Nope. Service was ok.

We went for the new years eve buffet tonight. The service was terrible. The servers didn't even come to refill our water or take dirty dishes. The food was ok. The only great service we got was from the buffet server/cook named Sabrina. She even helped take care of another customer table who was asking for water cause their server didn't come to help them either. Seemed very unorganized. We won't be back.

Went for the 2023 New Years Eve buffet. Food was not good at all. The only good thing was the salad bar. Service was non existent and when paying the cashier left the counter and the manager sat on his phone behind the counter until I asked for assistance to pay. Will not eat there again.

We made the reservation last month for my mother in laws birthday. As my wife call for details on the menu the receptionist cant hardly say what are the food that they serving for weekend dinner. Its almost all answer is “ yes/ we have?! “ but cannot specify the food they have. So we ended up making the reservation. So when we dine in on the date. And to our surprise and definitely stun that the food that they have are - dried pasta-meat balls-chicken ball-cake from superstore or walmart i guess - roast beef?? Buffet? It was even not a buffet as there are staff that do serving per plate. Cannot expect this kind of food on a hotel-Altos. Very dissapointing. Money worth? Not even close and wouldnt pay even for this food not worth it. Told the manager that the cheese cake is not available and reply to me “ yes we will refill immediately” after an hour NOTHING HAPPEN! Even seeing him checking on the table. to sum it all in 2 words .. 1. DISSAPOINTING 2. NOT WORTH IT.

What a disaster, poor quality and terrible preparation. Value does not match price. Would not recommend as food had poor taste as most looked like it was reheated leftoversOther hotels have better buffets that taste better and good quality

Attending the annual retired schoolteachers first day of school breakfast. A decent breakfast and fair coffee.
Family of 8 for the Christmas buffet. We were seated in a ballroom which was beautifully decorated, round tables spaced out enough that holding a conversation was easy. Food was mostly great, the exception being the cabbage rolls. Good selection.Great choices for dessert.My only complaint was about our drink order. The waitress didn’t take our orders until most of us were halfway thru our main course and arrived after all of us had finished.I think the staff were basically run off the feet tonight - 900+ guests.All in all, a very enjoyable experience.

One of the few Friday night buffets in Winnipeg post pandemic. Always enjoy it. Usually has deep fried shrimp and roast beef- alternate menu tonight was a bit disappointing but still decent.Vegetarian options: Salad bar with soup is an option.

It's a shame what this buffet has become. Used to come here all the time with my family before the pandemic. Decided to try it out by myself tonight. Big mistake. Seemed to be a giant lack of communication everywhere. The server was just barely friendly and attentive enough. Some of the hot stuff was okay but almost everything else had this old taste to it like it's been left open for weeks or reheated ten times. At the entrance where they have the buffet menu displayed it said you get a complimentary drink with the purchase of a buffet but when I got my bill I noticed it was on there still. When I went to pay (after waiting for service) I mentioned it and the person at the till said oh we don't do that any more. He took it off after I politely said that it was still advertised on the sign and I will not be paying for it. Overall, not a good experience especially since the prices were raised. Would have done better with regular menu service.

Went for mother's day brunch and was extremely underwhelmed. Most of the food was cold, the meats were all dry and tough to chew and the service was nonexistant. The coffee creamers had turned and we could not drink our coffee. We never told the server because she never came back to us until it was time to pay. What a waste of $207.....pffftWhat's the point in emailing you when you don't respond to those emails.

Had a fantastic experience. All the staff were so friendly and polite. Our server may have been a little confused or undertrained; when he was giving us cups for water, he took cups from a table with people seated and eating (I wasn't too comfortable with that especially during the pandemic). I found that one of the cups he gave us already had a bit of water in it - good thing I checked (I really do not want to catch COVID). He was very apologetic and took cups from an unoccupied table. No biggie, though it could be for someone who gets sick. Experience overall was fantastic.
