Cornerstone Bar and Restaurant
93 Osborne St
Cornerstone Bar and Restaurant is the newest watering
hole in Osborne village. It has been open for a little less than a month.
A new restaurant in Osborne village is bound to
get a lot of business, especially on a
weekend night. Therefore, the group that I was expected to wait a long time and
we did. It seems that winter doesn't cause Winnipeg's hottest district to
freeze over.
The group I was with came to drink and to talk. As
a result, my review lacks the meat that some of my other ones have (I couldn't
resist the pun). The menu contains a range of burgers, appetizers, and a few
mains. There isn't a lot of food. I promise I will try the veggie burger
sometime in the future, but for now I will confine myself to the two things I
did sample: the cheese platter and the drink section of the menu.
The cheese platter:
This is an idea I have seen at a few restaurants
now. I love it. My group had wine and cheese and enjoyed paring the food with
the extras the platter contains: figs, candied cashews, strawberries, tomato
jam, and bacon jam. There were crackers and toasted baguette to put the cheese
on. The server told us that they change
the cheese every week, which is a great idea!
The drink menu:
The main focus is the drink menu, which is sizable.
Their list of beer on tap is good and there are a few more bottles. They have a
fairly sizable wine collection ranging in price from just over $20 to over $60. I am not detail oriented when it comes to wine, so I cannot comment on the
quality of the selection, only the quantity.
I enjoyed myself immensely and we even had a good conversation despite the
moderate-high noise level. I will be
back.
Until next time,
