Best Fine Dining Restaurants in St. Albert

We had the croquettes, saganaki, lobster fettuccini, cherry beetroot salad, and crema catalana. I also had their Sicilian Sunset mocktail. Everything was delicious! The croquettes were a good size, great texture, and nice and hot when we cut into them. I love that the server puts a flame on the saganaki after dropping it off at the table (a little fun presentation). Lobster fettuccini was fantastic - generous portion of lobster and a perfect amount of sauce. I wasn't sure I would like cherry with the beets but it paired very nicely. And the dessert was at least twice the size I was anticipating. Service was fantastic. I wish I remembered the name of our server but she was attentive, kind, funny, and prompt. Great value for all of the food - my bill was just over $50 (there were two of us). I will definitely be going back. Beautiful decor and nice ambience. This is a great spot to catch up with friends, have a business lunch, or have a date night.

I enjoyed a nice strong drink and had spam and dumplings for. It was tasty and comforting. For dessert I had the berry tart with whipped cream and that was nice as well.

We eat regularly at Riverbank Bistro as do many of our friends who drive in from Edmonton. As always great service and exceptional food and a great setting. Keep up the good work Dan and crew.

As always, the service was outstanding. You have excellent waiters and other staff. My wife's Prime Rib was not the greatest. It was good, she said, but it rapidly lost its heat and had lot of fat and grizzle on it. She generally orders the steak and she will again next time we are there. The mushroom soup and my pasta dish were truly outstanding. Delcious. I think your prices have gone up, and what you charge for a 5 oz glass of wine is simply ridiculous. My wife passed on wine, given what you are charging for it. What really compromised the visit for me was the ridiculous "elevator music" that is played in the background. This is not the first time I have complained about this, and for one of Edmonton's finest ,classiest hotel restaurants to play muzak throughout an expensive meal really detracts from the overall experience. Can you not do better?? Some light classical? Even some "smoky jazz", with the volume turned down? Another thing. I realize business is business, and money talks. But it there no way you can implement an even basic dress code? ( i.e. no ball caps or toques while dining). While the days when I would wear a jacket and tie to your restaurant might be behind me I found that sitting near patrons who would look more in place at a truck stop did make the evening's experience less than stellar. Little things, I guess, and half the world is starving. But you asked.......

Lovely brunch with family, great start to the new year. Food was so tasty, coffee delish. Service from Natalia and staff was on par. Special thanks to the kitchen for making our meals very enjoyable. Dessert was divine. Braven never fails to make every meal extra wonderful.
