chewy dough. The meal gets extra
saucy with a choice of bbq, ranch or
honey glaze. Other finishing options
like garlic herb oil add subtle heat
without being overbearing.
New stone fired pizzas add considerable punch to the roster. Hand
stretched dough baked in a stone
oven results in a charred base, crisp
edges and chewy center. One standout from the menu of eight pizzas is
a hearty pie loaded with Italian sausage, Genoa salami, and fresh basil. A
roasted vegetable option shows off a
cheesy web of fior de latte mozzarella,
tangled with tender artichoke hearts,
red peppers and garlic herb oil.
Take out favourites like baked
wings are smothered with a choice
of sauces and rubs. Veer away from
the usual suspects and opt for the
smoked applewood rub, packed
with piquant paprika flavour, or
the mildly sweet roasted garlic and
pepper rub. Wild condiments are also
at play on a trio of sliders smeared
in chili mayo sauce and topped with
caramelized onions.
To help balance out the carb and
meat-centric menu, bowls of greens
range from feta-happy Greek salad to
a crisp classic Caesar.
The chicken mista salad is a portion large enough for two, dressed in
herb oil, and topped with a healthy
serving of grilled chicken.

these waters for trade long before it

for “Muddy Waters”, a reference
to the silt-touched Red River. The
significance of these streams makes
dining over the river a uniquely
Winnipeg experience.
