Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Old Strathcona

Wow. As soon as we walked in the door, each person was warm, welcoming, and lovely. Our server was absolutely top notch and likely one of the best servers we have ever had! The food was absolutely excellent, and the restaurant itself is stunning and comfortable. You can pay a pretty penny, but it is worth it!! We will be back, without a doubt, with friends in tow!!

Sawmill is always a reliable pick for good food, service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend it for any occasion.

Had a fun evening at Dolly's. Greeted and seated promptly. Our server was friendly and personable, very helpful explaining the menu and Christmas specials. Checked back with us throughout the meal to see if we needed anything. I ordered the martini, my husband ordered a Seachange beer. Drinks were pricey but good, the martini was tasty. It had a side of prosecco that looked huge because it was in a glass with a false bottom, would have been better if served in just a regular glass. Still, the drink was good. Food arrived quickly, I ordered the spaghetti. The spaghetti itself was very flavourful, a good sized portion with prawns, sausages and a tasty sauce. The only downside was that both pieces of garlic bread were obviously burnt. It was exchanged quickly upon request, just wondering how it got sent out in the first place. My husband ordered calamari, it was a good sized portion, but there was no dipping sauce, I'm used to seeing a side of yoghurt or something for dipping. But, the dish was very good. The atmosphere was fun, the restaurant filled up quickly with happy people. The restaurant was fairly easy to spot with the pink curtains, but an outside lit sign would have helped. Good evening, would go back.

Our server was FANTASTIC. Food was excellent. T was a game night and things were hopping but everything was absolutely great!!

Our last family dinner at Biera :( It was amazing, as always, with all 6 dishes we had being exceptionally flavourful and fresh. The staff were all knowledgeable & friendly. We will definitely miss this neighbourhood gem.
