I recently had dinner at Flanagan’s in Saskatoon and it was an excellent experience. I ordered the steak and lobster, and the meal was fantastic. The real standout for me was the Caesar salad, which they make table side. In my opinion, it’s the best Caesar salad in the city! The service was top-notch, and the overall atmosphere made for a great evening. Highly recommend Flanagan’s if you’re looking for a great dining experience in Saskatoon!

Great atmosphere and beautiful classic dishes. Shoutout to Aaron, who waited on us, and expertly cooked many tableside steaks while we were there. Amazing job. And great wine, too 🍷 thanks, Aaron.

Food was top notch. It's unapologetically dated but it works. Loved seeing old school classics on the menu. Table side service is a lost art. Service was great, but felt like the poor servers where stretched alittle thin with a lack of support. I wish the cocktail menu was alittle more tailored as it was sorta just the Winston's drink menu. Great time, I'll come back for sure.

The food was mideocre at best. One ot the worst meals I have ever had anywhere including Macdonalds. The food was tasteless, cold and unappealing. The only bright spot was our server. She was amazing. One of our party of 8 ordered a puckered dish. There were still scales on it in several places. Not worth going to at all. Our bill of well over $800.00 was truly a complete waste of money. Our server though, was delightful.

My husband and I came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a most wonderful experience. The food, service and atmosphere was top notch. If you’re looking for good steak and lobster or lamb this is the place. The decor is old and elegant from a past time.

I always forget this is here. This is the best steakhouse in the city. Prepared the ceasar salad tableside, it was amazing! Prepared my green peppercorn filet tables idea, amazing! Cherries jubilee for 2 tables idea. Amazing! We will be back for sure! Awesome wait staff, awesome food and a great atmosphere.

What a fabulous experience! Our server Aaron was just amazing 👏. He treated us like we were the only ones at the restaurant. He was superb at suggesting meal ideas and had a great sense of humor. We celebrated my birthday and had a wonderful Caesar salad made for us at the table as well as the peach flambe. The entre was lovely as well as the suggested wine 🍷 pairing. The atmosphere was second to none. I love the royal feeling of this restaurant. A must to experience.

Had a horrible experience there. We had to wait mote than an hour to get our food. Due to this situation they offered us a free apeteizer plate but at the moment to pay they charged us that allegedly free plate. We didnt even noticed that until my son checked the bill and when he confronted the waitress she called her manager but if my son didnt say anything they would have taken the whole payment. When we call out the manager she was so busy taking care of a toddler running around all the place and when she finally stopped by she didnt know how to make the refund. I am never coming back. I spent more than $300

Aaron and Marissa made our visit to Flanagans extra special! We highly recommend the platter for two, all of the food was full of flavour and prepared to our liking. A very enjoyable evening in a unique setting with the charm of a 1908 building that has been taken care of and has so much character. Skip the chains, Flanagans is the place for special occasions!

What a fantastic dinner. Recap: Appy: Stuffed Mushrooms: Great flavour and served with a Demi-glaze on top. Very unique and full of flavour. Dinner Rolls: Warm, fluffy and delicious. Caesar Salad: I don t even know how to describe it - it was so great. Perfect flavour. Lettuce fresh and crispy. Prepared table side. I could eat that salad all day long. Main: Bison Short Ribs (we shared). Tender, beautiful flavour, generous portion (2 large ribs). Served with mixed veg (peppers, onion, squash) cooked perfectly - still firm. Double stuffed potato was really good but we would try the rice pilaf next time. Dessert: Turtle Cheesecake. Yum. Say no more. Atmosphere: Quite quiet tonight (only 2 other tables). Lovely music (picture classical with a little Etta James thrown in). If you re looking for a dinner with loud music and party atmosphere, this isn t it. If you re looking for a nice, classy, quiet dinner with fantastic food and service, this definitely IS it. Service: Merrisa and Aaron are great. Friendly and knowledgable. Check it out. You ll be glad you did.

Had the new years eve 5 coarse dinner and it was excellent. Lots of food. Portion sizes were generous. Service was a 10. Love the Victorian feel of the place. Steaks cooked perfect. Only complaint is the steaks could have been seasoned a little heavier.

We wernt sure what to expect in the begining as it seemed like a very fancy place. The server was amazing and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered the table side caesar salad, steak Diane, boar chops & kids chicken fingers. We loved everything. We wont be back only because we love to try new places but this one is very memorable and we are so happy we tried it.

You have to eat here!!! Perfect date night environment. Very nice and quiet, our waitress Rusty was phenomenal. Excellent customer service with humour and very warm welcoming. The food was made by magicians i tell ya. I had the rib eye steak with mash potatoes while my fiancé had the Chicken Alaska and with a couple beverages came up to a very awesome suprising price of $132.00 (left her a tip of course). If your looking for a romantic dinner. This is place!!! Will recommend this place to anyone that asks about it and we will be coming back!

December 23, 2023

The ribs were tough, couldn t even bite into them. The flavour was off. The steak was also very tough. The website shows a vast menu but in fact the menu is very limited. I would never return to the restaurant again. Highly overpriced for the very poor quality. I have gone to high end restaurants that surpass it by far.

It certainly is not what it used to be. It has gone downhill in a rather apparent manner. We went there for supper a month ago and the food came out cold, and there was very poor service. There were three tables being sat at and we were still waiting 20+ minutes for a drink refill. With Ayden closing down this is a perfect chance for Flanagans to step up and take that market space. They dont seem to be able to do so. Sad. This was an amazing restaurant not that long ago.

We had a fabulous time for my mothers 70th birthday! The food was fantastic, the service was incredible, and you cant beat the Senator for decor. We were very impressed with the menu selection, and wish we had taken to heart the advanced warning about the large portion sizes because no one had room for dessert! The staff took amazing care of us, and even tucked us into one of the private rooms even though there were only 5 of us. This is hands down one of the top 3 or 4 restaurants in the city, definitely the best steakhouse, and doesnt get nearly enough press.

Went here for our anniversary. Was not busy. Waited almost an hour for a meal that was prepared tableside. Literally took 5 minutes to cook once they finally arrived. Both steaks were way under done and tasted of nothing but peppercorns. Risotto was overcooked and dry. Service was mediocre. I expected way better for this price point. Its definitely not worth the money. Would not recommend.

Disappointing. Wine service was not perfect: one glass fits all, bad cut of the cap. A lot of echo in the room. Some very loud guests who were not told by the waiters to be respectful of other guests. Lamb rack was rare when asked medium rare. Tables are too wide to have a conversation without speaking loudly. The appetizer plate to share is hit and miss: fried food was greasy, seafood was very well done. Best items: how well cut and well cooked were the mixed vegetables, palate cleanser sorbet.

Went with a group of 8, and service was very poor. Long time between getting top ups on drinks, food took over 2 hours to arrive after sitting down, and was cold. Entire table was disappointed with the meal. Ordered the Dinner for 2, and tenderloin was undercooked, lobster had no flavour, scallops were bland. Shrimp tasted good though. Overall, rather disappointing for the price. Had a much better time in Winston s pub attached to the hotel.

December 23, 2022

Came here for my birthday with a group of 8. Waitress was cold and rude towards us, we were trying to lighten the mood with some jokes and she was even more rude and sarcastic toward us. Even got upset when we didn t pay attention to her making the salad because we were talking. It took forever to get drinks, even refills, it took forever to get our orders placed, we even looked in the dining room to see if it was busy and the same waitress was annoyed that we looked. We finally placed our orders, half the food came out over cooked and hard (pasta over cooked to the point it was crunchy). The only thing that was warm was the steak made in front of us. I complained to the nicer waiter and he apologized and said it was short staff. Downside was we arrived before 7pm and didn t leave until a little after 10. We had to cancel the rest of our plans for the night and we felt bad for the other businesses we had reservations for. Definitely will not be back, nor will the 3 other couples we were with. Maybe they do better with smaller tables and should not take larger reservations.

I went to Winstons pub with my son on Saturday and was duly impressed. Had an amazing filet with lobster scallops and shrimp. Delicious. Our server was very personable and new the menu inside out. Had a nice glass of wine with the meal as well. The meal we ordered was a dinner for 2 at 130.00. Was what I remember the old school steakhouses in Saskatoon were. Very quiet relaxing atmosphere. Planning my next visit already.

Our waitress Nikki, was nice, friendly and skillful. She performed the table side for half our orders. Food she made and from the chef were all delicious. Sharable appetizers was more amazing than expected. Juicy flavourful steak and lamb. Cherry Jubilee fire show was beautiful and sparkly. Décor and atmosphere was festive, fancy and romantic. Love the experience. Will Recommend!

Definitely the fanciest place Ive been here in stoon. Loved the vibe of the whole place, felt like I was first class on the Titanic. The salmon and chicken my friends got were the best Ive ever had, but the fellas and I who got the steak were a little unimpressed with the quality of the cut, for the price. Overall great, got dressed up fancy and had a beautiful night out

First class, from the moment we sat down. Our server Rusty was FLAWLESS with the perfect amount of attention without being overbearing! Started with the sampler appie and it came with 4 of each item. Scallops, shrimp, chicken, and stuffed mushrooms. Each item was great and as there was 3 of us, we absolutely fought over the last items haha. 3 meals ordered, the 24 oz ribeye, the ribs, and pickerel. The fish seemed just a tiny bit over salted, but that steak ... wow. The smoke flavor was very dominant, but the juice of the steak upon biting, brought a savory blast straight out of the succulent ribeye! It was well balanced and cooked to medium rare perfection. I will be back for another one soon! You could see the ribs literally melt off the bones and the barbeque sauce while familiar, was a very very good compliment to the tender meat. Since now every review seems to start or end with covid procedures, yes they were all followed to the letter. If you havent tried it yet, do not be afraid! Its a big yes from this fat kid! Pic* YES that steak IS as large as it looks, and I could have take a better angle to show the amount of veggies (which were also super crunchy and tasty) that the steak is hiding, and a good amount. No one left hungry for sure !!

We had a great date night away from the kids to celebrate our anniversary at Flanagans. The dining room is beautiful, the menu had a lot of classic steak house options but also had some modern twists. Those short-ribs were incredible! Table side Cherry jubilee is a lot of fun too! This was our first visit to Flanagans and will certainly return someday.

My first response is that the food is very over priced. If they had enough servers to make the wait time less extensive that would definitely help the restaurant. Two servers, for a restaurant 10 people in one room amd 10 or more in a separate room is simply not enough. The food is good, but clearly sat waiting on servers so it came Luke warm. Sad.

We had an awards night here. First the appetizers were a great addition to the drinks and socialization at the beginning. We had a four course meal. I picked the Soup (cream of carrot) which was the first time I had a carrot soup and it was to die for. We then had the pallet cleanser which was a Cherry Sobert. For the Main course I chose the Half Rack of Lamb with a Lime Gelton. The cook on the lamb was a perfect Medium Rare. The frenching was perfect, and the bones had a consistent white colouring (not burnt). And the crusting on the lamb gave it a perfect texture. Finally the dessert was their Chocolate Cake which was rich and was presented beautifully.

Showed up for our reservation to be seated in front of the door. After asking to change tables, we were basically told no because the others were wobbly. Decided to ignore that and just ordered a drink. The waitress didnt know if they had Jack Daniels or not, then when we wanted to wait a few minutes before ordering food she was happy as she could then run food elsewhere. When she came back to take our order we learned there was only one chef on staff and they could not do table side Cesar Salad or Steak Dianne (table side steak). Being a high end restaurant I would expect a)The staff knows to say no to other parts of the hotel and focus on their section and b) to actually be able to cook whats on the menu. We ended up leaving disappointed after our drinks and did not have dinner.
