the food is always great.. the service is even better! i love the athmosphere. its a great place to get together with family and friends, to catch up over a wonderful meal :)
Haven't been in a while but they impressed again! New menu items were wonderful (duck, yucatan pork and veal saltimbocca). The wine list is amazing, the drinks fantastic and the service great. This is one of my favourite places to entertain out-of-town guests to show them that Thunder Bay can kick it up a notch!
Nice place. First time. Should have booked ahead. Thursday night and had to eat at the bar but very comforatable and the staff made the night. Ahi tuna starter with wasabi jus was very nice. Duck was cooked to perfection. Choc torte was good but needed more custard as was a bit dry for my taste. Jewel of TB.
I have been there numerous times, and I had always enjoyed my food, but there is nothing special about it, especially for the price. The servers have varied, some were nice, others were snotty and they seem to think that they shouldn't care about the tables who have young adults seated at them because they probably assume that they won't get as large of a tip (which isn't true). There is no problem with the food, just boring. They also have the same exact menu as they did about 4 years ago, which doesn't make people want to continue to come back. Overall nice setting, but it is boring, there are better places for less money.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly...
I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the friendly prompt service we received at the bar and once at our table. Loved the food. Scallops were slightly underdone but were tasty. The seafood linguine was superb. I really liked the martini menu. This was my first time to dine at Caribou but definitely not my last. I will definitely visit again.
