Four of us came in supper as a first time experience. We ordered the 6 course Alla Famiglia (@$65 per peraon). Basically the chef's choice and a selection of the dishes they recommend.
Started with a delicious glass of Chateau St. Jean, a French Grenache & Syrah.
The supper came out perfectly paced and we enjoyed each and every dish. I forgot to write them all down.
Started with a crab dish and an amazing salad. Next was a ravioli in a brown sugar butter sauce. Then spaghetti clams in a wonderful broth. Following was an amazing glazed trout in a tomato medley. Last was an amazing peanut butter Budino.
Highly recommend and thanks to our fantastic staff. -

Give it a 3 and half, not totally 4 but not a 3. They've changed their chef several times, I loved the old chef Jesse! Made this amazing uni pasta everything I was in town. Since then, never been the same. Last year it was the worse, had this pasta and aged beef. It came out basically with rigatoni noodles with minced beef, tasted just like Michelina's frozen dollar but 30 times the price!
Recently went this summer and new chef, her best dish is the soft shell crab with an aioli and Thai basil. It's so delicious, ordered two but everything else on the menu is pretty basic and expensive for the portion and the simplicity of the dish. -

Very delicious 6 course meal we shared that was the right amount for the two of us to finish. Not large portions but we didn't leave hungry. The homemade pasta was fantastic. Service was friendly and efficient.

I heard about Little Grouse on the Prarie from a friend in Vancouver who loved Lumière, a former restaurant which shared the same chef, Dale MacKay. The restaurant is quite small, so I would highly recommend making a reservation (you can make one on OpenTable). A few people walked in for dinner, but all of the tables were reserved. The restaurant didn't have music playing and the tables were nicely spaced, allowing for a conversation with friends.
Our server was also the front of house manager and sommelier. They had an amazing knowledge of the menu and answered all of our many questions, as many words on the menu were Italian.
They offer a sharing menu, but we decided to order a la carte. The serving sizes are small (by Saskatoon standards), but quite filling. Just make sure to order two dishes if you're hungry. I had a large lunch, so I only had one dish. I went with the cannellini dish, which were filled with spinach and cheese. Others at the table had the beef, arctic char, spaghetti, and mushroom risotto, which they enjoyed.
The prices are high, but the food is definitely worth it. The restaurant has a casual ambiance, so no need to dress formally. I will definitely be back! -

I can't say enough about the Alla Famiglia menu. All the dishes I was interested in on the menu came as a share portion. Dining with a friend, enjoyed trying all the different dishes family style. The somalier suggested perfect wine pairings for an incredible experience.
Great intimate restaurant with exceptional food!
