Restaurants near Hostelling International Regina

Blancos has become a favourite of ours. Love the atmosphere, generally have great service, and the food is tasty. We went there with a friend for Valentine’s Day for late night happy hour (our favourite) to celebrate her birthday. The guy working the front door was super sweet and took care of us, though he seemed to be struggling a bit as he said he had no idea how to work the reservation/seating chart program. After we got seated, he mentioned that since we were there for a birthday we could choose from a shot or dessert on the house. Awesome! The server arrived and she must have had a long night because she seemed like she had checked out hours ago. Sub-par service all night long, and no personality. The food was fantastic as per usual. Happy hour tacos and margaritas were delicious as always (shrimp, chicken, and mushroom were the best ones). The server never once mentioned the birthday or anything, which wasn’t a huge let down as the food and drinks were great otherwise. Again, she seemed like she was done with the night before we even got there. Music in the restaurant was great all night, and we enjoined ourselves regardless. Server eventually brought our bill and we went on our way. We will still definitely be back again soon.

Wait time at the restaurant was 20 to 25 mins inspite of reserving the table for our date night. And the staff was not very welcoming at the restaurant at the reception area at the main entrance of Earl's restaurant. They were all confused with the reservations on their list and giving tables to different people in the restaurant. A Total Chaos !! Not at all organized on the floor and reception area of the Earl's Restaurant .

We got a great table, service was excellent and the food was excellent.

I booked last minute and we had to sit at the bar and we were a little disappointed at first but it was my fault for reserving last minute. However we had a great time watching how different drinks are made and the service was amazing. Food was superb as always!

Despite being a high-end dining establishment, Avenue is surprisingly family-friendly. The kids enjoyed their food just as much as we did.
