Reviews for Riverside Bistro in Edmonton, AB

This was a different experience - dining under a plastic dome outdoors, in winter. We had 7 in our group so it was a bit cramped... but no worries because we needed the heat. The food was excellent but expensive. It would be a great idea for a date. Read more

Loved the gnocchi ???? it was so good. The restaurant is a bit pricey but the taste is very good. Also they have beautiful... dinner domes on the patio that you could have a wonderful date in. Read more

Thornton room for 50th wedding Anniversary - A BEAUTIFUL VENUE!! A PERFECT venue, for 40 - 60 persons Wedding /Anniversary or... for that matter any function. We were very pleased with our experience in the Thornton Room at the Marriott Courtyard Edmonton. On Friday night we were allowed to come in early to decorate, only to find the room beautifully set up....even with floralcenterpieces. We'd brought tablecloths and some 50th decorations etc., all we did was to add some 50th decorations. Sara andGary were our first contacts at the Hotel and were very easy to deal with, even when there was a detail missed. Sara was alwaysquick to respond to our many questions and we appreciated her promptness. Executive Chef Pawanjit Singh - THANK you forpreparing the delicious food!!! The Italian menu/meal we chose was a hit - especially the "melt in your mouth" breasts ofChicken with Lemon/caper sauce and the Roasted red pepper soup were favorites !! On Friday night we dealt with 2 very nicegentlemen - Sorry we didn't get their names. : -( They were both very helpful and accommodating. I've attached a picture ofour bartender and the waitress ( she made sure the food was refilled/plentiful, she also cleared tables & took drinkorders etc.) We are Thankful to them - both were very pleasant and willing to please. All in all - we can't THANK everyoneenough for making our 50th Wedding Anniversary VERY memorable!! We highly recommend, having any 40 - 60 person function at theMarriott Courtyard Edmonton!!! The View and Patio are spectacular!!!! Brenda & Daniel MacDonald Read more

Great view with friendly service. Definitely on the pricier side and a bit slower but for a relaxing lunch enjoying the view it... was perfect. We had the fig and goat cheese flatbread and the margherita flatbread. They were both on the smaller side and at$17 were a bit overpriced. The fig one was definitely the better of the two. Great flavours and would buy again even at thatprice. The margherita one felt bland and didn't really taste like anything. The crust for both was delicious. We also got theyam fries to share as a side since we saw how small the flatbread were before ordering and really glad we did. They weredelicious and crispy. The side spicy mayo they gave was also great but ask for two cause they only give one and that's notenough. We would definitely go back since they definitely have the best patio in the city but wished they had a bit moreselection on their menu. They apparently have a different menu for dinner so will have to try that. Read more

Great taste, great value. Best view in town, in terms of bistros. Menu is somewhat limited though, and the choice of mozzarella... didn't seem to match the salad. The duck salad was good. Read more

Tried the below dishes : Margarita flat bread which was naan topped with cheese n arugula - not worth $15 for sure Bistro... Chicken sandwich with a side of truffle fries - it was okayish Mediterranean inspired veggie burger with a side of sweet potatofries - burger was good but fries were really bad? so bad and soggy, try the burger not those fries For dessert we tried thecoffee Panna cotta. It was decent too. Overall average experience considering that you pay for the view and the view itselfwasn?t worth spending so much on? ???? Read more

Had a great time and a ton of fun. Very easy to reserve a time online through opentable, it sent a reminder a couple days before... and required you to confirm through your email. Great opportunity to take memorable photos while enjoying a meal for a specialoccasion. Igloos had 2 small space heaters in them so was warm and cozy. Felt very private. Waiter was very polite and wouldcheck up on us just enough, would be there whenever we needed something. Food was delicious, starters and salads were supersharable and mains were very tasty. Once the sun went down the colorful lights were very bright and made for great photos!!Waiter knew how to take photos ????. While waiting for food we were able to wander outside the igloos and enjoy the beautifulriverside view. The parking lot in front also had quite a view! Would recommend for special occasions and take ALL THE PHOTOSsince there are extra costs for dining in the igloo and limited seating time. Fun dining experience. P.S parking for the entireevening is 15$, I heard valet parking is 5$, take your pick. Read more

November 20 2021, we just had my sisters birthday in the igloos. Words cannot express how amazing this experience was. The... views, service, and especially the food all top notch. I would highly recommend this for any occasion from girls night out tointimate dinner with your partner. I will definitely be coming back and doing this again. If I could give it more than fivestars I definitely would. Read more
