I think it's slightly misleading to call Ricardo's a restaurant. It's a bar that decided to put a few things on a menu. The food was good but there are only two entree choices, one dessert. There are only a few tables and it was excruciatingly loud. I couldn't hear the person at my table. My purse didn't even fit beside me on the bench it's so small. Great for a pit stop for a cocktail while on your way to dinner.

This place is where laid back island vibes meet sophistication! We loved the atmosphere, perfect for having a fair priced quality meal, tasty drinks and a conversation where you don't have to yell over the music. So lovely =)

Great mix of refreshing and more classic cocktails. Food and service and vibe great. Look forward to their dark spirit cocktail season.

Ricardo's was excellent. The cocktail selection was great and all tasted amazing. Perfect descriptions on the menu so you knew what to expect and what to pair with your meal. Ordered the ceviche, oxtail and fried chicken. While they all tasted great but the oxtail was the highlight. So impressed. While we enjoyed a peaceful dining experience, we were surprised it wasnt busier given how good the food and drinks are. We'll be talking about this place for a while and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Honestly didn’t know what to expect at first but decided we would try it out, and everything went above and beyond all of our expectations! Food was amazing! service was seriously the best I’ve had in any resteraunt from Kate, who recommended the corn and flatbread and it was my favourite dish on the menu. I’m sorry I didn’t get the other servers name we had (tall blonde) but the service from them both was above and beyond. Drinks, food, atmosphere, everything. Will definitely be returning!

The portions were super stingy and the outdoor seats were really dirty.
The place is cute but the food and drinks were both really small for the price. :(

Service was subpar. Two of the people in our group waited over an hour for their food. Food was alright, a little bland.

Amazing cocktails and delicious food! Always one of my favourite spots in Calgary! Can you PLEASE bring Ricardo’s to Edmonton!!!
I don't remember my servers name but she was super nice and accommodating. The staff were all friendly and the vibes were vibing. Loved being on the patio

A perfect Friday night hideout. Beautiful ambiance and atmosphere. The vibes were vibin'. Sam and Jax were amazing hosts. Great drinks. We had the MaiTai the Saturn and the Sherry banana peanut butter drink. It was all very well presented and meticulously prepared. They really respect the art of creating a welcoming environment and making the visit special for the patrons. Very happy, kind and welcoming staff. Definitely a great place to hang out. I loved everything about the place. The food was delicious. The drinks were delicious. 100% will be back!

Ricardos is such a great little spot. Great atmosphere on a busy night and great staff as well. The food is spectacular. Snacks mainly but you're not going to miss on anything you order. Dont sleep on it, or if you havent been there for awhile dont forget about it!

We went to Ricardo's for drinks before dinner, but wish we would have stayed for the food too, because it looks great.
The drinks were amazing. Well balanced and unique. Sam the bar manager is very skilled and fun to talk to about drinks and the craft.
Allie is a very good waitress and gave top notch recommendations.
We are looking forward to visiting again in the future.
