The braised short ribs were disgusting. The potatoes in the potato salad were raw. The salad was what I'd expect from a cafeteria. I also found a small stone in my mushroom soup.
The waitress was very nice. But she obliviously took away my barely untouched food with a smile....without even noticing.

This place is excellent! I had the salmon salad, the presentation was beautiful and the salmon was cooked to perfection. The salad was excellent. My sons split the steak tips and a cedar salad. The steak tips were super excellent. My salad was so good I'm going to dream about it tomorrow.

I chose the night that they hired a new cook. Cold rice with my overdone filet mignon.
The wait staff were great and handled it professionally.

Waiter was very courteous. Filled up our waters plenty of times without us ever asking. The ambience was colorful and relaxing. The food was tasty, especially the appetizers. We would definitely go back to eat there again

This is a good location for a downtown business lunch. The service is quick. The dining room is quiet enough to have a business discussion. The food is well presented. I really enjoyed the signature wild mushroom and chicken soup.

We use to eat here quite a bit, we still do occasionally, the food is superb, the only let down is there are no experienced bartenders during the day. My girlfriend enjoys drinking bellini's & daiquiris & nobody there seems to know how to make one. On the plus, the beer is always cold.

Looks like it's going to be great but food is SUPER average. Dry ribs and Chorizo/Chevre pizza were a-ok. Bacon wrapped scallops were disgusting.
Service is great though and folks are nice.

If you have business in the core, this is a good spot for a business lunch or dinner. After a recommendation from a friend, I decided to check it out when I hit town. The restaurant has two entrances, one on the street and another off the retail mall. The look is "old money", like quality steak houses of the eastern U.S., comfortable, serious, like you should be wearing a suit. The prices will likely deter casual diners, in favour of those not caring about the entree price.

The menu as refreshingly different from many restaurants, with a variety of items not too common in other menus

Dinner was fantastic, the food was delicious. The only negative was the waiter never returning to our table to see how everything was. He appeared with our bill and then we never saw him again to pay it. We waited 20min and finally went up to the bar to pay it, we were hold he had went off shift. ?!?!? We also had 3 children with us and he didn't offer a dessert menu, just brought the bill.

Service was slow even on a Wednesday night with only a few people in the restaurant. It took forever to get a drink.

Started with the mushroom soup. It was very good. The walleye was also very good with the mashed potatoes, but not spectacular.

Food was better than the service.

I never saw walleye fish on a menu before so I had to try it...it was great. Fresh fish, fresh vegetables sauteed in a garlic butter, and brown rice. Everything was good!

The atmoshphere is decent, the food and service is not.

Thier menu seem to be very poorly put togeher. They put un complimentary foods together in one dish.

When I ordered my steak and asked for it Medium Rare.. the server said

" thats hard to cook, the cook will do his best, but I cant take it back its not cooked the way you like".... WHAT?

It was served with roasted potoates and Roasted Broccoli.... UM weird.
So I asked or a diffenrt option than roasted broccoli...and she proceeded to tell me the cook as partnered the dish together to be amazing and he won't substitue.

2nd Avenue Grill tries to be a little more unique with its menu without being too adventurous (ie: you'll see menu items unique to Saskatchewan such as Saskatoon berry glazed duck and bison steaks but you'll also see your run of the mill new york steaks and grilled salmon.)

While presenting regional items is refreshing since it brings something different, the actual dish itself falls flat simply because the dishes are not prepared as well as the more generic ones

The more generic items are a fairly safe choice. The steaks, pizzas and pasta are made competently. They taste good, there

I dined here with my family while passing through town from Los Angeles. We came here on a recommendation from the visitors bureau. We were looking for a nicer family restaurant in the historic downtown area.

We came late on a weeknight, they were not crowded at all. I would consider this more of a nice restaurant that is fine for families than a straight family restaurant. They did not have a kids menu, which was fine because we ordered one entree and split it between our two boys.

My wife had a fillet which she enjoyed. I have the buffalo fillet which was unique (in the US at least) and fabulous
