We wondered why it was easy to get a reservation on a Saturday night. Ordered 2 Caesers to drink and they were good. We started with the calamari and it was cooked fine but was very bland. My wife got the pork belly bowl and again very bland with little flavour. I ordered the steak, med. rare and it came out well done. No worries, they made another. I ate some of the fries and veggies and by the time the new steak came my wife was done with her meal and again the steak was well done. I let our server know and wondered why this could happen not once but twice because there was only 3 other tables in the restaurant and they were all done and eating dessert before our food came. Anyways, the server was very pleasant and understood our frustration and only charged us for our drinks and my wife’s supper. Never again. The manager would not even acknowledge us as I paid our bill.

Thanks to Ryan (and Adam too) in providing excellent service as usual. We always enjoy our dining experiences here, the food is really great. Soups are always changing and definitely a must have, burger was very tasty and the tuna was excellent. Delighted to see some desserts are coming on board - carrot cake and lemon tart were two enjoyed on recent visits. Would be nice to have some rolls or something to have with the salad and or soup to start the dinner with. Look forward to the evolving menu. Keep up the great work!

The waitress was nice:) The drink menu is really large, good champagne last, The appetizers were the best things calamari and roasted brussels sprouts. Lamb chops were very dry and tasteless, the main courses need a little bit of work not very flavourful

Good was great. Would have liked more explanation about their menu as its not traditional and more seasonal. Their menu indicates small plates.. These are basically "lunch" size portitions. Once we got passed the menu the food, experience and such were good!

It was a big surprise that an "Airport Hotel" have a great restaurant and outstanding service. The food was very good, full of flavor and perfectly cooked and served. The best of all was our server who happens to be the bartender, his name is Adam and he was absolutely fantastic... the same with the girl who came to our table with few things we asked and she was fantastic as well, but mostly of the time was Adam. For a moment you forget that you are at an airport hotel. Congratulations.

I understand it was Valentine’s Day but our food took 1 hour and 20 mins to come a little long since there was just two of us. A quick apology and no offer of anything to make up for the wait.

The problem with Blue Marble is that it is incredibly hit or miss... One night it will be absolutely fantastic and the next... You're not even sure you're in the same place. They need to have consistency, then they'll be a great place to go.

Our main course choices were great. Nice portions and very tasty for both the surf and turf and steak and potatoes. Disappointed in the beet salad. While the greens and dressing was tasty, the beets were tasteless.

We were in town for a family gathering and chose this restaurant because of the reviews and the location. When we arrived, it was quiet and then two larger fishing groups came in and it got louder. Still, we had a booth and the noise level was fine. We started with a couple of shareable plates: the quail and the duck. Both were delicious. We then ordered entrees. My husband had the fish and chips and I ordered the pork belly bowl. We were pleased with the meal and then shared a dessert of banana bread French toast. Overall, the meal was delicious. Our server was a little different but he was attentive and polite. We would definitely return next time we are in town.

Wonderful experience at The Blue Marble! The Beef Short Rib was melt-in-your-mouth, no-fork-required and our Antipasto Platter was delicious as well. Well-crafted drinks and an amazing selection. Great service. Would have preferred not to be in the corner nearest the front desk (very bright, a fair amount of guest traffic), but overall a good atmosphere. Will go again.

Whilst staying overnight at the Winnipeg airport hotel, I walked past the Blue Marble and later found its website and looked at various portals' ratings for that eatery. It looked great, so I booked for four of us. (Turns out very few people eat at 5:30 PM, so we didn't have to book first.) The service was fast and courteous, and the menu quite varied. The small plate pickerel dinner was FAB, the presentation and the taste put it over the top! Although one beer was 'flat' on pouring, it was quickly replaced and a good time was had by all. This is great value for the money.

First time there. Great food & service. So nice to have a great restaurant attached to the hotel. Usually those hotel restaurants aren’t so good but this was lovely! If staying at the Grand hotel Blue Marble must be a stop for dinner and it’s worth the trip out that way even if you live in Winnipeg. Lovely!

This was our first time at The Blue Marble and overall it was AMAZING! We dine out frequently and we like to try new places especially on special occasions. Definitely no regrets choosing to come to The Blue Marble today. Hands down, it was the best Valentine’s Day dining experience we’ve had from beginning to end! The food was spectacular from presentation to taste and we are definitely coming back (no special occasion required).

Staying at hotel nearby and found this restaurant via OpenTable. Started with a Greek salad. It was not quite what I expected in that it had no lettuce, only cucumber, tomato, olives, red onion, peppers and feta. But the dressing was delicious and the salad was quite enjoyable. Followed that up with an entree of chicken breast stuffed with bacon jam with a roasted red pepper veloute. It was slightly overseasoned but not in a bad way, and quite tasty. The fingerling potatoes that accompanied were good (served almost too hot!) and the mixed vegetables were a little undercooked.

Menu is quite varied. All three of us had the fish and chips which was very good. The crust on the fish was cooked just the right amount, as were the fries. Server was very pleasant and attentive. We were given the choice of dining in the bar or restaurant and we chose the latter.
