River Café is a hidden gem located on Prince's Island Park in Calgary. It's not just a meal, it's a journey. As one reviewer put it, 'The food is different enough to be special (interesting combinations of local flora and fauna), without being too unusual for 'meat and potatoes' diehards to enjoy.' The restaurant's commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and rustic, quaint ambiance makes it a must-visit destination. One customer even mentioned it's a 'Michelin star worthy' experience. So, it's definitely worth the drive!

    All 4 of us ordered the 3 course holiday menu. The food was amazing. The portions were plentiful. My only thing and it's not really a thing was; I would have preferred a flat plate instead of a bowl like plate for my prime rib.

    I find the CattleBaron to be consistent, good value, and the staff are attentive and efficient. I will continue to go there. The one thing they could take a bit more seriously, however, are food sensitivities. I made it pretty clear to out waitress that I could not have any dairy in my meal. The potato was ok, but the veggies obviously had butter and the meat was swimming in some kind of gravy. In spite of this, I would still recommend people eat here. They generally do a good job, and like I say, consistency is impressive. Definitely a good place to take someone on a business lunch.

    We pre-ordered the Mega Bond platter for 10 people and there was more than enough to feed us all. The suggestion to pre-order platters for a large group is the way to go as we arrived and within minutes we were eating! Great food, location and friendly staff made this one of the best choices for a staff luncheon, thank you, we will be back!
