Nice variety of appealingly presented and delicious items on the menu. They had a musical duo the evening we were there, and they were enjoyable but not intrusive. Excellent experience

based on reviews i knew that the food would be pricey. but the food was good so it didn't feel like a rip off. for one thing, you are in yellowknife, not toronto. my husband and i were happy to have this option (as well as Thornton's). my husband had seafood chowder (too creamy for my taste) and i had...

Used to be much more reliable food experience at Fuego's..now they are out of almost everything on the menu when I go so I pretty much don't go anymore....steak with mushroom sauce does rock your world when its available. Fairly pricey for the recent experiences I've had there....need to get back to the old way of doing things and focus... More

I went out for a work dinner at Fuego. The ambiance was just as I remembered. There was also live music, which almost seems recorded until you see the musician. It is lovely and unobtrusive. Perfect background noise. Our drink and meal orders were taken quite quickly. The drinks appeared delayed in arriving, but it was the meal service that... More

Well my Husband and I went for our date night. Had a wonderful meal. Prices are certainly high for what you're getting and their plate decorations they could do without, they are unique but I'd rather not see a a sprig of whatever they gave me on my plate. waitress was okay, could have been a little more attentive to...

We have tried all of the other places in town, and when it comes to a special meal for my wife and I, Feugos is always the one we choose. We have tried many things on the menu, and I particularly like having whatever specials the chefs had created that day. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a... More

The food in this joint is hit or miss. Sometimes okay, sometimes good. Drinks are okay, but generally too sweet. Servers tend to care about what they are doing and are pleasant if you say hi when they're not swamped.

I've always found the service to be fine, the music is usually good if a little loud, and I think they've done well disguising that this is a basement. Unfortunately, the food seems like it has declined in the past year or so, while the prices have gone up. Many of the dishes are overcooked, including the desserts. Can't believe... More

The food is usually quite good (some nights it's a little off), but the service ranges from good to down right rude. It get's worse upstairs at Twist, where both the food and the service is poor. If you only have one night in town, you have plenty of cash in hand, and you want to go somewhere special, try... More
