Bistro:
When did Sweetgrass Aboriginal Bistro open?
On November 15, 2003, Sweetgrass had the pleasure of opening to the
public.
Can I make reservations online?
Yes you can. Go to the contact page,
and fill out the form at the bottom of the page.
Is there any live entertainment?
Not at this point.
Who are the artists?
The art galleried at the restaurant varies. We wanted to grant
more exposure to native artists as well as give them a venue to
sell their works of art, while at the same time adding to the atmosphere
of our restaurant. Presently we display works by John Tenasco, Doug
Kakekagumick, Marion, Beam and R. Bedwash. We also have other art
that is not for sale – some of these artists include Glenna
Matoush and Benjamin Chee Chee.
What is Bison?
Bison is another word for buffalo. The great American bison is
the largest land mammal in North America since the end of the Ice
Age. Estimates of the pre-European herd size vary from 30,000,000
to 70,000,000 animals and they ranged over most of North America.
There are three subspecies of bison: the Plains bison, Wood bison,
and the European Wisent.
Is our entire staff aboriginal?
Nope. Most of our staff is aboriginal, but not exclusively.
Does Sweetgrass cater?
At the moment we are focusing on establishing ourselves as a casual
fine dining establishment.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Visa, MasterCard, Debit and, of course, cash.
Are reservations necessary?
Reservations are not necessary, but recommended. We have had to
turn people away on occasion. So, if you plan to dine with us, we
are only a quick call or email away.
Are you able to accommodate patrons in wheelchairs?
We have had guests in wheelchairs who were aided into our establishment
before. However, we do not have a washroom that will accommodate
someone in a wheelchair.
Do you serve vegetarian dishes?
We make sure that there is always something for our vegetarian
guests to choose from.
