Reviews for Ayden Kitchen and Bar in Saskatoon, SK
Where do I start with this place. First you walk in the atmosphere is amazing it was busy when we arrived but we were greeted... really fast and sat down at a table in the lounge cause again they were busy. We didn't mind at all our waiter Brin I hope Ispelled it correct was phenominal aswell as the rest of the staff they all seemed to work together fluently! And granted thisis a finer dining establishment as I have never been I cane wearing sweat pants and a sweater. Brin didn't make us feel like weweren't dressed right or anything we felt welcomed and wanted there. The staff were so on the ball and when the food cameout...... Omg Steak special was cooked absolutely perfect my photo didn't really catch how perfect the rareness of my steak wasevery bit of our meals were amazing my girl had a Cosmo, and some bees drink and I myself had a paradise of the prairies drinkwhich was killer good. Also when asked why we came out that evening we mentioned it was my girls bday and were surprised in theend of our meal when they brought out these little soft lemon croquets type deal witha chocolate sauce which again wasphenominal and not too heavy after a great meal overall 9.8/10 I don't believe in a perfect 10 but this place comes close andwe will be back and overall cost wise we've spent more at chopped and meal wasn't on this level Read more
We enjoyed the chefs menu with pairings. Was incredibly tasty and so enjoyable. Our server, Travis was so awesome. Personable,... warm and helpful. We chatted for a bit and he kindly ended our evening with an Icredible cocktail. The food was so good. Theservice was great (pacing spot on), and the service staff were kind and engaging. Read more
This is one of the restaurants owned by the winner of 2011 Canada?s Top Chef, Dale MacKay. So since we were in Saskatoon on... Friday July 15th at 8:00pm and we are foodies we decided to check it out. The steak with bone marrow croquet, Mafalda pasta,and the Basil Exposition cocktail were outstanding. However, We put more than half the steak, and pasta in a to-go container,and forgot it, but returned 20 minutes later and we were told they "threw it out". What?! Who does that so soon? The entire mealwas $283.00, with most of it thrown away? They had my phone number from the reservation, and could have called. Sketchy! Andno thanks to our female server who could barely crack a smile. I'm sure if Chef MacKay was there he would not have been pleased. Read more
I would love to give this place 5 stars as the food and drinks are AMAZING! However, my girlfriend and I had eaten the lovely... appetizers and had a few cocktails so couldn?t finish our main course. We asked the uninterested waitress to pack it up and shebrought us the containers to do so. We then left, but we forgot our food on the table. We came back less than 20 minutes laterand they told us they had thrown out our food! The restaurant wasn?t even closing for a few more hours and they threw out morethan half of our expensive steak! We didn?t think they were honest and they never even offered compensation! Not impressed! Read more
Such an amazing dining experience here. To be honest the menu descriptions seemed a bit intimidating but I went with the trout... and it was amazing. Such an amazing dish. Really enjoyed it. I also got the friend potatoes which was also a delight, remindingme of my grandfather's fried potatoes who has since passed. We also had the drink special tonight, not sure what it was but itcame with a blackberry in it and it was also delicious. We topped the night off with the apple sorbet which was the perfectbalance of sweetness and loved the nuts at the bottom too! Would 100% come back here and recommend people to check it out! Read more

Saskatoon is not a very big place. Finding somewhere to eat is within walking distance in downtown. Was craving a good meal,... and found Ayden to be highly recommended. I was dining by myself and found a spot at the bar thinking I'd get some banter outof the bartender since I am in town scoping out the city, people, and vibe for work. He was great at talking me into acocktail, which was a nice start of my meal, and we weather talked for 30 seconds, of which he got super busy after and thenthere was no talk except if I needed to top up more drinks or order more food. The food was exceptional, he recommended thetrout, which was delicious, and the chicken liver was delightful. Overall value for food, drink and experience was great. Theonly negative I had was that I waited almost 50 minutes for my entree order of the trout. I politely asked at 45min and said, Imay have to leave if it is not here soon as it is getting late, and I was a little disappointed. The bartender explained that alarge table came 5min before me and got their orders in that slammed the kitchen, he apologized, and I understood, these thingshappen. I'd come back and was very happy with the food quality and experience. I'd recommend to check it out if you've neverbeen. Read more
