Aaltos - Winnipeg

One of the few Friday night buffets in Winnipeg post pandemic. Always enjoy it. Usually has deep fried shrimp and roast beef- alternate menu tonight was a bit disappointing but still decent.Vegetarian options: Salad bar with soup is an option.

Went for mother's day brunch and was extremely underwhelmed. Most of the food was cold, the meats were all dry and tough to chew and the service was nonexistant. The coffee creamers had turned and we could not drink our coffee. We never told the server because she never came back to us until it was time to pay. What a waste of $207.....pffftWhat's the point in emailing you when you don't respond to those emails.

Do not eat here! Poorly managed and racist. Ethnics not welcome. I am Aboriginal from east coast New Brunswick. Sat with girlfriend for 30 minutes waiting for a waiter at the buffet. There were four or five waiters bussing tables and cleaning. No-one approached us. We could see the manager in the office staring us down. So I asked the chef at the buffet if I could get something to eat as we were hungry. He said yes. So I went and got some soup. Being a gentleman I brought her a bowl and myself a bowl. She wanted to wait for drinks before accessing the buffet. So I went and made a plate. When I returned none of the 4-5 servers had still not come yet. So we waited some more. She saw my broccoli and said it looked deliscious I said go ahead and eat it. She had one bite and the manager ran to our able accusing us of stealing. I argued with him and he said he was gonna go to his office and review the security cameras to charge us. I have money, I’ve ran restaurants in Montreal and Iqaluit Nunavut: I’ve never seen or been treated this poorly before nationally or internationally in any restaurant. I currently run a successful business here in Winnipeg where the aboriginal population is large. All I can conclude is that because of the social problems here in winnipeg the presence of a bar. In the hotel and alcohol vendor on site the manager assumed we were just some drunk Indians trying to steal food before even being asked if we’d like a drink or menu. I eventually called him a goof for his assumptions, where his response was to start attacking my character and degrade me verbally. He then turned bright red and looked as though he wanted to fight me over a piece of broccoli ? and his lack of employee management skills. He then proceeded to have us almost physically removed by security! In front of everyone. How embarrassing. Please help make a difference in equality and co-existing relations on aboriginal territory. Do not support this establishment.

I went to the annual retired school teachers' first day of school breakfast. The breakfast was decent and the coffee was ok.

Family of 8 for the Christmas buffet. We were seated in a ballroom which was beautifully decorated, round tables spaced out enough that holding a conversation was easy. Food was mostly great, the exception being the cabbage rolls. Good selection.Great choices for dessert.My only complaint was about our drink order. The waitress didn’t take our orders until most of us were halfway thru our main course and arrived after all of us had finished.I think the staff were basically run off the feet tonight 900+ guests.All in all, a very enjoyable experience.
