   We were travel weary and wanted a good brunch before an afternoon snooze. Google pointed us to River Cafe and to our delight, it was perfect in every way. The views outside, the ambience, the staff, the food = perfection. The only thing that would bring me back to Calgary (sorry, Calgary) is the thought of another meal at River Cafe.

   Had a lovely brunch - the red lentil hummus was exceptionally unique, and the Croque Madame, and eggs Benedict were second to none.

   Wales up to the beautiful front door after a cold walk as you can park there. So 10 min walk, not too bad. Nice to have a coat check and the place did not disappoint in terms of beauty. Loved the interior mountain cabin feel. Well done. Got the pancakes which tbh were mid. Kinda dry and not what I had really expected fr the write up. Gave me no charge on the extra syrup so thx. My girlfriends hashbrowns however were to die for. I was a bit jealous of whoever ordered the eggs benny ( missed opportunity :( ) All in all a solid 4 I’d go again but not for pancakes.

   Always amazing, we’ve been coming for years. A family member used to also work here and we’ve always had great service and food. Never ever had a disappointing experience or meal. It truly is wonderful to have a beautiful ambiance, staff and food to enjoy especially we don’t get to trek downtown Calgary as much. Thank you!

   Took my wife for her birthday dinner celebration. Place is great! Cabin & Christmas vibe: Got to the restaurant around 7pm. Got our main course around 8:30pm. so many people waited at least 2 hours for the main course. Our server is good but I I feel like no one should wait for 1hour + for their food they didn’t even provide complimentary drinks or desserts for the long wait. Food was mid and for the price! No wow factor! Overall place is great but we will never going back for Dinner. We saw so many people are disappointed. No one order desserts because of the long wait.

   Food was good, but not at the same level it once was. Server was very pleasant and helpful, but food was a little slow getting to our table. Still, I would recommend this place to anyone.

    We love the River Cafe. Service was great and overall we had a fabulous experience. Our coffee was served just warm but was quickly changed once we brought it to our server’s attention. We were there for brunch and I had the halibut fish cakes which I savoured every delicious mouthful, my husband had the artic char Benny but couldn’t taste any char so a little disappointing.
