My client took me here for dinner Wednesday and I came back again on Friday night. Everything I’ve tried was absolutely delicious. There are only 3 things on the entire menu that actually have gluten in them. They have a dedicated fryer and the attentive staff and chef are very careful. The head chef has apparently placed silver in the world culinary olympics and he is a professor at the Saskatchewan Polytechnic culinary program where he’s working with Indigenous students to make and plate traditional Indigenous cuisine like a 5 star restaurant. Mad respect. Wednesday, I had the fried calamari, the chef’s cut selection steak with rosti potatoes, and the crème brûlée - which has been rated Canada’s best crème brûlée. Sooo creamy and delicious. Friday night I had a salted caramel chocolate martini with house made caramel, the wedge ceasar salad with crispy capers (I never would have thought to fry capers… a revelation!), and the slow roasted pork loin with house made GF spetzel. Everything was amazing and it’s in a cool old historical building! Highly recommend. I’ll definitely be back next time I visit Regina.
Superb food. Tried a steak and chicken dish take out. Menu is original and extensive. Food is on the level of good Parisian restaurants.
Visited here recently for the first time in a while. We had a very friendly and knowledgeable waitress. Ordered some tasty cocktails and the charcuterie board . One of the meats on the platter wasn't the greatest. But other than that, everything was good. The peach mustard was awesome!
The food tastes good. The portions are relatively small. We enjoyed their soup and their creme brûlée was excellent! Our server hadn’t show up and each time we had to ask some other server to come to us or call her. I recommend to check their menu before going there as the main dish options are just a few. The price is normal for a wine bar.
Just in Regina for 1 night and I'm so glad I had dinner here based on the menu and the reviews! It was an unseasonably warm day so I had a really pleasant time on the cute patio with some trees for shade. The meal started with an amuse bouche of roasted onion creamy blob on crostini. The flavours and texture melded together so well I knew I was in for a good one. Then I had the duck confit with onion tart. This one ties for the best duck confit I've had in Canada. Very tender but still has some chew to it. The flavour was very well developed - toasty and a little caramelized probably through the long cooking time. The onion tart was kind of like a quiche and creamy. The pickled onions and saskatoon berries are a good call to balance out the caramel, creamy rich tones. Since the entree was so good, I decided dessert must be worth the extra calories here - and I was right! After much deliberation I ended up with the creme brulee which was accompanied by lavender shortbread. The creme brulee is a little lighter than typical which I actually prefer, and it's super silky and smooth. It sets up the shortbread where the lavender really popped. The lavender also stood out because there's a lot of restraint on the shortbread base so it didn't overpower it. You really have to like lavender because once it declared itself it was quite sharp - fortunately I love lavender so every bite made me smile. As I ate my dinner I could smell all kinds of wonderful aroma from dishes on other tables. I'll definitely come again on future trips.
We just want to say thank you for such an amazing dinner. We're just stopping through town for the evening and looked up where we could try some of Regina's best culinary experiences, and I'd say we found it. Amazing service, beautiful space, tasty and creative cocktails, and everything we ordered to eat was absolutely delicious and perfect. I'll be recommending it to anyone I know visiting Regina.
We had a fabulous meal in a gorgeous old building. We started off with the vegan pate which was delicious and just an absolutely unique dish. I had the pickerel and the beans and slaw on the plate or a party in my mouth. My wife had the veggie white bean terrine. Which was another unique and delicious dish. Too full to eat dessert we took the espresso pate (clearly a theme) home and it was delicious.
The service was outstanding, particularly thanks to Katie who was incredibly welcoming and considerate, checking on us throughout our visit. We went for a birthday celebration and they truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time. The food was absolutely delicious!
Great place for a cocktail! Building is neat, good for group events. Creme Brulee was great.
Healthy lunch. Good price, better than I expected. Good service. We sat in the bar, so that was the atmosphere. Love the location even if there was no view
Unique and Excellent food with quality service. Beautiful atmosphere in nice old building with a good patio. Took my mom for her birthday, she is celiac and the vast majority of the menu she could eat. Recommend. Dietary restrictions: Majority of menu is gluten free
The food was incredible and Katie was amazing!!
My fiance and I were in Regina this weekend from Saskatoon. I had heard great things about this restraunt so chose this as our spot for dinner. Great dishes and good portions considering the restraunt goes for a more fancy feel. My fiance and I shared the pork dumplings as an appie. And each had the chicken and steak frites dishes. They were all absolutely amazing. 5/5 atmosphere and food. Beautiful historic building in the heart of downtown Regina
Everything is amazing. Great dishes with balanced flavour. Very generous with food, which for the price point is very gracious. It was my first time going to this spot. Sexy little date night spot. Service was fun and very conscientious of the service quality. I ll be going back. Truly can t recommend them enough.
Posted hours were closed at 12am. Showed up at 11:00 pm on a Friday night looking for one cocktail and doors were locked. There were hours taped to the front door that were slightly different from the google hours but it still said they were open till midnight, but no themes the doors were locked.
Enjoyed an awesome dinner with 2 friends at Crave a couple of weeks ago. It had been some time since Id eaten there other than lunch, and the dinner menu was just the right sorts of choices. All 3 had beef sous vide and it was magnificent with the most delicious wine reduction and rosti potatoes, the appies were delicious, the wine list extensive, and the service topped it all! Were going back for a special date night very soon!
Love this place. Its my favourite restaurant in Regina. Vegetarian options: Faux Gras is really good! Food : 5/5 |
We had a nice evening with outstanding service at Crave Kitchen + Wine Bar. The food was delicious, and the environment was wonderful. This is definitely worthwhile for meals.
Stopped in on our trip to Regina. We are from Vancouver Island. Had a really nice lunch. The building is very nice and has history. The interior was beautiful. Rebecca took great care of us and we left very happy. Compliments to the Chef.
Had an awesome gluten free menu, including multiple gluten free desserts! We loved Katie, our server! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options
Family visit, great food and drinks. We spent such a wonderful evening relaxing and having a laugh. We had the best waitress (Katie) and the whole experience was very fun. I loved the decor btw.
One of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant. From the time we were seated the atmosphere and service was exceptional. The Bison + Snow Beef Burger is the best burger I have ever had. A superb flavour and nicely combined with a sweat relish and pickled red onions. Wow! A must visit the next time Im in Regina.
Just went tonight for valentines day and .... WOW. Absolutely stellar, top notch experience . Everything was amazing from the excellent service, to the outstanding culinary journey we went on. Everything from the calamari to the arctic char was cooked to perfection. The basque cheesecake and chocolate patè were to die for. I would like to mention how we were seated close to the kitchen and heard a good bit of laughter coming from the kitchen. We LOVE hearing that. Its a great vibe and a good indication of a happy workplace. We will be coming back very soon!
Careful, if you say its your anniversary they WILL go all out for you. Booked a first date via the online form and when it asked about an occasion/celebration I haphazardly selected anniversary. Selecting an unrelated occasion on online booking portals is a bit Ive played for the past few years as no restaurant/etc. has ever done anything from the first time I selected birthday for an actual birthday. Anyway, back to Crave. I booked bar seats as we were only going for their mulled wine; These people set up an entire arrangement front of house romantically at the window and offered a special anniversary dining selection. My date implored we play along so it became our five year anniversary - if youve heard of 13 Going On 30, we were 0 Dates Going On 5 Years. Although we could still stay at the bar seats, we were in too deep. We were probably the least impressive wood anniversary the waitstaff had ever seen, but Im proud to have celebrated it with such a dashing individual. We were certainly best dressed in our t-shirts, jeans, corduroys, and docs. As the waitstaff would pass wed talk about the night we met five years ago (that night), and sleuth typical pleasantries and first date talk in-between the candlesticks and surrounding holiday cheer. We pondered escaping to Vics Tavern for a more appropriate setting, but by then we became the anniversary and the anniversary had become us. Last weeks first date is now my five-years married partner, and weve never been happier. Thank you, Crave Kitchen & Wine Bar, for facilitating such an incredible experience and feature. It was only five years but your incredible service and experience made us realize the lifetime weve had together, and the infinity well get in each others arms. Well definitely be returning on our ten year. Oh, and the mulled wine was incredible. It comes with my highest recommendation for any five year anniversary.
Great food
Went there a second time and the service was better! Food was delicious, ambience was great and the staff really nice. Really great setting if you want to host a work lunch/birthday. Smoked Brisket is really good
Food was OK, but drinks, and service was outstanding.
Unbelievable! The butchers cut of the day was to die for. Went there for a work supper. Hope we go back haha.
Had a great time there. Atmosphere and food both fantastic. Very easy place to spend a few hours catching up with friends. Our server Kate was amazing and brought a special personal touch to the meal.
Regular Thats it, you say its okay, it cant even compare to Calgarys Rouge. Not sure, but there are still some specialties, such as the raw beef A decent restaurant Noisy Very noisy I just lost interest Isn t the batch of duck leg meat the same as our roast duck? It s so hard to be full in a restaurant like this, so I had a second meal
Went here for a conference. Food and service was good. Server refilled my drink with minimum interrupt and always reached around my right for removing dishes. Place was very nice, made me feel outclassed unlike Radisson and Regina Inn. Presentation was mostly unreadable from using TVs which seemed to neither have the size or the resolution for such a presentation. After a year, still nothing has changed.
Fabulous mocktail menu. Especially the Faux Fashioned which still comes under a dome of smoke.
Good food and drink options.
Have only ever been here twice, both times were weddings. It was a great venue, food and service were excellent. Must admit its probably not a place Id visit regularily as the normal menu isnt really my thing and Im not a wine drinker lol.
Great, interesting cocktails; great food, much locally sourced; great space, and, above all, great, super friendly and helpful service by Katie. It was the perfect last meal for our vacation. Hope to go back!
Loved everything about this place, the service was great, the food was great and the cocktails are delicious !!! Very clean place and awesome atmosphere. Will definitely come back.
If youre in Regina and looking for a unique dining experience, head to Crave. The service is top-notch. Atmosphere is excellent and the food was even better. I will be back the next time Im in Regina. Try a smoked old fashioned. Yum. Food : 5/5 |
A true gem in Regina. Been a few times and never been disappointed with the food or service.
Absolutely extraordinary experience! I just recently got engaged in this restaurant BC it is one of my go to places for food and drinks! The staff was amazing as always! They were sure to make the experience perfect! I highly recommend this place to anyone! The food is always amazing the atmosphere is super inviting and I love theq speak eatery vibe! Thanks again for making my night super special!
Delightful location in a rejuvenated club. Food was very well prepared. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly.
Loved it.
Great experience. We had dinner for a retiring member at work. Booked the 10 Spot. Food was fabulous.
I have been here on two different occasions and I must say they are very good! I love their service the ladies are absolutely amazing. And the food is always good and presentable. I feel like you can dress up for special occasions or down to have drinks, the atmosphere is very well set up. I will be making more of an effort to introduce my circle of friends here because most of them don t know about this hidden gem!
We had an amazing night on NYE! The staff were super friendly and the food was delicious
Great food and drinks, amazing service. The atmosphere is great here!
Amazing service, amazing venue/atmosphere, amazing food, amazing cocktails, everything was a pleasant surprise that exceeded expectations. The Yellowfin Tuna was so good we order a second serving instead of dessert. Cocktails are 5star but are missing the 5star presentation for the full wow factor.
Most delicious food I have had in Regina, really remarkable!
We celebrated our 25 th anniversary with 66 people at Crave. The food,service and drinks were amazing. I would recommend Crave for any celebration. Emily was great to deal with as well as all the staff.
Crave is easily one of the best restaurants in Regina and one of the best restaurants for us anywhere. We usually have the cheese and salami board and it is amazing but they do a great job of all menu items including dessert. Best part is the staff is knowledgeable and great at what they do! Excellent wine list and fantastic custom cocktails. This is a go to place!
Great place for a few drinks and a lovely meal. Yes, it has a higher price point, but our meal was not small and the atmosphere was great. I love the fact that they use local producers for their ingredients.
Amazing! The food and service here is of the highest quality. Great experience.
Was at a work event tonight with a catered dinner and they did a great job. Not a big meat eater so I was impressed with the many vegetable selections. Chicken was tender, juicy and the sauce light and delicious. Very impressed. Thank you for the great meal.
Great food and service.
Excellent service, great food, portion size could be higher on foods and wine.
Atmosphere is very cool and modern. Food was great. Service was good too.
First time was a great experience. Smoked brisket was awesome. If your hungry, order a side of mushrooms. Worth it!
Staff here are Racist against first nations people. The server seems to think that because she is first nations that she can call someone a drunk indian and thats alright. Meanwhile that drunk Indian was not drunk by any means. She was struggling to walk in her brand new heels. As every woman knows, new heels on a night out can be torture, that does not give anyone the right to make an assumption. She left there humiliated and in tears by how she was racially profiled. This is unacceptable and the owners really need to take a good look at their staff because this is how you loose customers. The woman who was treated this way was trying to enjoy a romantic evening with her partner and decided to support local after their diner before heading home. This behavior is not ok. it is 2022 and Racism should not be a thing anymore. Do Better. Be Better.
Restaurant set in a heritage listed building in downtown Regina. Fantastic atmosphere with an interesting menu made with local products. Good experience and worth a visit!
The server was nice and efficient. The menu is very limited, but the food was good.
We hired Crave to cater our intimate wedding. The servers were great. The garden salad, smoked brisket and dessert were excellent!!! Thank you!
Vegetarian options: They had only one vegetarian option. Which was tasty but way too small!!! They gotta understand that veggie options should be at least as big as meat options for me not to leave not feeling hungry.
The bison burger and fries were both fantastic
Attended a wedding here, Great location staff and food. Lots of space
In a old gentleman s club, very neat vibe. Service was awesome, all the food was classic but done very well. The duck confit was amazing!
Yummy food
Kudos to the Chef! The food was absolutely amazing. We had the Tuna which was cooked to perfection with grilled romaine and polenta fries. I never had grilled romaine and wow, it was so flavorful. The polenta fries where super flavorful as well. The steak frittes where also cooked to perfection with a nice pink center. The house made ketchup is die for to gonwith the crispy fries. The service on the other hand was lacking. The restaurant was empty with multiple servers and bartenders and yet we had poor service.
Ive been dreaming of the chickpea fritters...
Our first time coming to Crave and was a wonderful experience. Everything from the cocktail menu to the food was exceptional. I really like the way they take the time to elevate the dishes to a higher level. You can get a good steak anywhere but Crave sources locally and has found a producer doing amazing things with beef. The seared Yellow fin tuna is also prepared very well.
Always love my time spent here. Nice classy spot with excellent food and cocktails.
Extraordinary food and service.
Food , service and cocktails Everything was AMAZING!
Had a beautiful dinner with my fiancé for her birthday. The service and food was excellent as always! Keep up the great work Crave!!
Absolutely phenomenal food at an honestly reasonable price. When I went with my wife and her family the server was very friendly and personable which made it even better. Food was divine, all of us having nothing but positive things to say about our meals.
Always a phenomenal experience when we come for dinner. Staff and food are always amazing!!
Always pleased with my meals here! Did I mention they have THE best creme brulee?!
Perfect place
We had my moms celebration of life in the main event room at Crave and it was perfect. The food was amazing (perfectly cooked, soft, delicious perogy bar, excellent meatballs and desserts), great experience from initial planning right until the end. They were so easy to work with, organized, efficient, and on top of everything! I will plan events in this space in the future, and have never been let down by the ppl at Crave. The space is gorgeous, the AV is included in the price, no nickling and diming - very upfront, reasonable pricing, and excellent attention to detail. They helped to make her celebration so very special and I am very happy we chose to do this at Crave; it felt very intimate. Crave is the perfect venue for celebrations big or small. Best venue in town!
Great relaxed atmosphere and selected cuisine
Great food and atmosphere. Drinks were very slow to come out , but ultimately very good.
Delicious and good service! Id classify the cuisine as modern fine dining with a Prairie flair. All the appies, mains, and drinks we got were tasty. Highlights were the pemmican spread in the charcuterie board, the steak tartare, lamb, and the creme brulee. Well be back!
Excellent attention
Great staff and service
Lovely atmosphere and great food. Had a wonderful birthday experience and would recommend Crave to anyone.
Amazing service here, and great Mules! The meat and cheese board was amazing, with alot of the salami being made in house I was extemely impressed. The Steak Frites were amazing. The only miss I found was the tartare, the texture of ground beef was a bit strange for what I am used to in tartare, which is usually finer ground or chopped. Besides that they made us have a fantastic night, and gave us all the time we needed between plates and relaxing at the end of the night
Always amazing! The food was incredible and our server, Nicole was the perfect guide!
Great food good service, slightly over priced for quality but not outrageous
Fantastic wonderful awesome
Food menus has some nice items.. A few of the female staff are not very friendly ..this place has a tense feel to it..not a good place for a date ..they need much better staff .
Love their drinks and steaks. The resturant s atmosphere makes a great dinning experience.
Great atmosphere, excellent selection of wine too;)
We went here for a work function and it was way to pretentious for its own good. Over priced and not very good. Tip: if your going to make your own ketchup make sure it s better than the stuff I can squeeze out of a bottle. Also some of the combinations they put in the meals don t work and take away from the meals potential taste( how can you screw up pulled pork!?) in this city where there is pretty much 1 restaurant for every 20 people you have much better choices.
Easily the best food you will find in town.
I didnt know Regina was capable of flavors quite that exquisite!
We LOVED the plank and chose 3 items from their fair selection, we were delighted to see an unusual offering of bone marrow. It was outstanding and absolutely delicious. The presentation was lovely and the amount just right. We werent as thrilled with the main courses but still good. Our waitress was friendly, discreet and attentive. This is an expensive restaurant, perfect for special occasions.
This is actually the worst restaurant Ive ever been to, and I used to live in Meadow Lake, so that is really saying something. Slow service, incredibly slow. Truly awful food, low quality and not prepared properly. Certainly do not order the fish but my steak was awful as well. The wine selection is pathetic, they carry all of the cheapest most disgusting wines that you can buy for 8-12 dollars at the liquor store, and obviously do not employ a somalier or even a sensible head chef for the pairings. It is brutal. Crave sets up their decor, menu and prices to impress and then they leave all the suffering to you.
Relaxation center
Above & beyond everything! Delicious, conscious and creative food, attentive and caring service in a great atmosphere and location.
Had supper here on Thursday feb 27th and our server was very personable friendly and ensured my selection was gluten free. We had the beef brisket and mashed potatoes and was so much food and so tasty! The cheesecake in a jar was delicious ! Our hotel recommended and it did not disappoint and has a nice vibe !
Likely the best food in Regina!
Great atmosphere!
Great food and atmosphere!
Good food and service. They did a great job of ensuring safety protocols while maintaining an enjoyable experience.
Originally my fiancee and I had planned on going to another restaurant, but found out it was closed. So we went here instead, and were very happy we did! The cocktails were inventive and delicious; we enjoyed them with a wonderful charcuterie and a cucumber salad. But probably the best part of the experience was our server, Katie. She was very attentive, spot-on with menu suggestions, and had a very sharp wit. So much fun! If we lived in Regina this would easily be a regular hangout. But next time were in town this will be a must-stop.
I love the appetizers so much! The cocktail menu is fun to try, as there is a variety of cocktail styles. Some have fresh flowers, and are so pretty! I definitely recommend getting the beef main course, based on current Market Prices, and made to *perfection *.
Always good experience!
We were on a wonderful trip across the country and this was recommended as the stop to make i. Regina. Well they weren t wrong. From how they treated us (we were late) all the way through it was too notch. One of us got the nightly special and it was wonderful. Nicole, our server, was unbelievable. Just top notch and exceeded expectations. Definitely the go to place in Regina for quality, hospitality and ,mostly, service.
The food and atmosphere were great, and our server, Katie, was awesome. We live three hours away, but will definitely be back.
Sat at the bartop with a friend. Quick and friendly service ! Food was délicieux! Thanks again for the great experience!
Great food, great service and great atmosphere!
Always amazing food. Chef Jon is so creative and talented and you see it in every dish that hits the table!
Great food, great atmosphere
Awesome place with excellent service and great food
Great food, sourced locally.
Always excellent service, amazing food and drinks! Great team there!
Had a steak for $38.- plus a small side for an extra $7.-. The quality of the food was meh at best. Everyone on the table (6) had the same opinion, the food doesnt even remotely match the prices.
Great food and service!
Amazing! Im pretty sure theres a wizard making their creme brulé - its the only way there can be so much flavour in one little spoon. The rabbit dish was great, the calamari fantastic, even their frites are a cut above. Dine here; you wont be disappointed.
Great spot for a drink or full course meal. Farm to table menu is fresh with many offerings. Atmosphere is great as it located in the historic Regina men s club building. I visit every time I am in Regina.
What an enjoyable meal. The chef is outstanding.
Average. Portions are really small but they warn you suggesting they are a small plate type restaurant. Dining room is cozy but I accidentally bumped the waitress as she tried to slip by. Steak was tender and cooked to order.
Great place to host dinner meetings!
Nice room, good company, wonderul meal...
passing by
Overpriced
Interesting food and drink menu. I recommend checking Crave out if you are looking to try something new.
Really cozy and a great selection of tasty dishes
Excellent food, service, amazing cocktails. Love this place, highly recommend it
Fantastic food and service!
Crave is so cravey its RIDICULOUS
Absolutely excellent. Great atmosphere. Friendly service and attentive servers. Good libations menu with some unique cocktails. Started with a shared Slab of 5 items off the charcuterie menu. Excellent presentation and delicious. Had the Quinoa Salad & the Crispy Tofu entrees. Both were well prepared and tasted excellent. Creme Brûlée was perfectly prepared. Great dining experience. Highly recommend.
Great place for your workplace company dinner
New Favorite Canadian restaurant! This is a must when in Regina! From beginning to end, this is a foodies dream. Server was engaging, attentive and knowledgeable. Each course was fantastic! Atmosphere was great even with the late night party crowd in full swing (in a different part of the building). It was romantic and fun at the same time. This is a destination location when in Regina! It s a bit spendy but so worth it!
Service was impeccable. Food was nicely plated but average.
Nicole was great! Really appreciated how attentive she was and she was very knowledgable about the dishes served, altogether it was an exquisite experience!
Enjoyed the food. Great service.
Great lunch, I heard the chicken quinoa salad and was very impressed and full. Our server was excellent!
Love the atmosphere and ambiance created within this unique downtown restaurant and special events location.
Wonderful serve staff
Food was ok small plate for high price went once wont go again
Cool menu, good service. A Regina go to for me
Fantastic food and second to none service. Thanks Katie
Great service. Very attentive staff. Wine selection is limited but good. Food is very good. Rabbit raviolis were great. Also the calamari with the salsa verde is a surprising touch but very tasty.
Lovely place
The best cuisine I have ever had in Regina. Great place for a special occasion. Too expensive to go frequently.
Its okay. What is has going for it is location and desserts. Food and drink are fine but everything is very expensive.
We ve come here for a few Christmas parties and it s always been an amazing experience. If you have dietary restrictions they are very good about dealing with those. They have gluten and dairy free options as well as vegan choices! All of which are delicious! Love their Scotch selection and they make a really good Old Fashioned. The staff is always really friendly and super helpful especially Nicole! She s wonderful! Highly recommend!
Great spot, good and service were exceptional
Always enjoy myself at the kitchen crave restaurant and wine bar! This post does it no justice I wasnt in the mood for a dinner and wine! Beer and appetizers are great also at the bar!
Delicious but small portions
Fantastic thank you it was great!!
We went for supper September 8,2018 and had the most wonderful meal! My compliments to the chef who is in my opinion the best ever! The food was the best I d ever had in my life! Service was also very good. 5/5 stars!
