Restaurants near Grand Portage Marina Ramp

Don’t let the location deter you from making this a prime dinner spot on your visit to Thunder Bay. Located in a non-descript mall parking lot you forget all your cares once you enter the doors of the well branded Caribou Resto and Eibe Bar. You are immediately greeted by a visible kitchen where well trained staff are feverishly whipping up a diverse offering of fare. The welcome staff offer to take your coat and bring you promptly to your table. We were celebrating with our Varsity Volleyball athlete daughter after a hotly contested game against hometown Thunderwolves so we skipped the fancier cocktails and ordered a crisp and tasty mid priced Viognier with a starter of warm olives. For dinner we decided to share 3 mains which turned out to be an excellent choice. Our waitress was calm, friendly and warmly accommodating. The food came out in a very timely fashion and although we had offered to receive them as they were ready we were assured that the kitchen would have them delivered at peak freshness. The custom pizzas are worth their weight in gold. The structure and flavour of the crust is unparalleled in our experience. We chose the white version with fig, pear, prosciutto and arugula. One can easily make a full and delicious meal of this but we also treated ourselves to the perfectly seared Ahi Tuna on a crispy rice bar with a mountain of cucumber and wasabi vinaigrette along with, the star flavour dish of the night, the Mafaldine Pasta with braised rabbit, pancetta and wild mushrooms. A dose of freshly ground black pepper makes this relatively bland looking pasta soar. Had we not treated my daughters York University team to a massive tray of local Persians (procured from the University Field House snack bar on a weekend by a stroke of luck) we would definitely have ordered the Créme Framboise to share for dessert. An outstanding experience on all accounts. Thank you for hosting us.

We were at the Keg Thunder Bay last night (4 of us) for my birthday dinner. We had Sean as our server. He was very attentive to our every need. He suggested different things we might like and we took his suggestions and weren’t disappointed. We also were served more bread from what looked to be managers so were impressed that they also helped with service. We had not been back to this Keg for quite some time as the previous visits the food was not up to par. This time, steaks were done to perfection and food arrived promptly. Great job all around. 5 stars…..

Can't say enough about the wonderful staff! Their team approach to taking care of their diners was seamless. The fresh pasta was amazing. We had the bolognese, and fettuccine in white wine sauce that was so good on a cold evening.

What an amazing evening! Bianca is a wonderful host! She made us feel so comfortable and not rushed although know we overstayed and yet she kept checking in on us ♥️ The food was superb as usual and with the new addition of McInley the magician, we were thoroughly entertained and in aww. Thank you Seler and a special thank you to Bianca ~ you truly are wonderful! We will see you again soon.
