This restaurant was so good that we returned the following night. First night I had ribs which I’m very critical of because I cook great ribs myself. Their ribs were excellent, and the roast vegetables were cooked perfectly, and the portion was filling and more than enough.
Second night, I ate the braised rib as well as my three friends who are with me, and we all raved about it. If you are in the Kenora area this restaurant is a must visit. You will not be disappointed.

The 901 experience was over the top. They accomodated us even though we didnt have reservations. The food exceptional combined with the tastefully redone storefront was so homey. All staff came over to chat . Nice. ( watch for the kindergarten/ waitress) She is great. ( cute too!) Check it out. Worth it!

Ordered the Hail Caesar, Half Chicken and BBQ Burger. All were EXCELLENT. The roasted vegetables as a side were so good. And that BBQ burger was phenomenal. The fries are also so delicious. Would just recommend upping the cleanliness a bit in the bathroom and on the walls.

Went for dinner with friends and chose 901 because none of us had been and we all heard rave reviews. The server seemed friendly but rushed although the restaurant was not busy at all. Waited for almost an hour for food which would be understandable if it was busy, it was not. The salmon with dill sauce was over cooked and the sauce was basically butter and dry dill. Pizza came with plastic baked into the crust and the server didn’t seem to care. When the bill came they split the appetizer which we did not ask them to do and she thought it was funny. When the time came to pay they had trouble with the machine and I had already decided I was not tipping much because I was not happy with my food or the wait staff. The waitress saw the tip amount and scoffed and cleared the screen she was lucky I gave anything after that. My tip to them is not to judge people and not to treat the people they know any different than people they don’t that walk into their restaurant. We all had high expectations of this restaurant only to be extremely disappointed. I would not recommend and will not return.

I normally don’t post reviews however, we did not have a good experience for our first time at 901 Westside. We ordered lunch, each a sandwich and fries, and waited at least 40 minutes for our meal. Upon receiving our food, we noticed a hair on the fries and asked for a replacement. One of our orders was mixed up and the bread was soggy. When our new batch of fries arrived, after most of our food was finished, they were soggy. Seemed they were rushed to cook them as they were closing shortly. Our server was good, and apologetic for the mistakes, and the atmosphere was pleasant but would most likely not return.

There were challenges. It took 1hr and 15 min to receive our meal. We were greeted upon arrival by the server who was very pleasant. We received our drinks at the start, but during the 1hr and 15 min wait for our meal, our server did not return to ask whether we wanted any further drinks, or to explain the delay, or to offer any bread or biscuits or anything else. The owner, who was not keeping an eye on the storm or helping the server (who worked as quickly as she could) stood at the adjacent table and chatted with the patrons there for over 30 min. I understand they were personal acquaintances of hers and we were new patrons, but to never speak to us while hovering for so long at the adjacent table was poorly done. It was uncomfortable for us to have her looming for so long while still ignoring us. When the food was served, the braised short ribs were mediocre, not fall-off-the-bone as they should. The beet salad was made with warm beets which then wilted the greens and melted the cheese. They missed one of our two meals and only provided one. After the length of wait, there was no point waiting again while they corrected their mistake. We simply had one meal and salad between two people. They provided one drink free of charge as compensation, which was appreciated and appropriate, though I would have offered the beet salad gratis since it was more expensive than the drink. The owner did not come over to apologize, only our server. When offered the POS machine, I chose not to tip the standard 18% and instead intended to tip $10. Accidentally, I tipped $0.10 and rushed out. In the process, I left my phone behind. When I returned to pick it up, there was a dime with it, which I did not understand. But as I drove home and realized what had happened, I called back to leave an appropriate tip. The server would not accept it even though I explained that I had intended an appropriate tip. I will call again tomorrow to try to rectify that.

We had an amazing time! We had the spinach and artichoke dip ( you have to try it!) it was fresh and very good. Then we both chose the ribeye which were cooked perfectly to order. The mushrooms and onions went really well with it. Carolyn took excellent care of us, and we are definitely going to return!!
