Great service, cozy atmosphere, food was super tasty. Small selection of menu items for lunch, but each dish was high quality!
Price is on the higher end but def recommend for the whole dining experience.
Yesterday, my best friend had her wedding dinner at the river Café, served by Kristen. She gave us impeccable service! Her kindness and attention to detail were greatly appreciated. Thank you for making my best friends’s night seamless.
Service from Sam was great. Food was exceptional. Great setting
Fancy without being pretentious. I loved every thing about this place- an oasis in the middle of chaos. Nestled amongst nasturtiums, apples and thyme, complete with a glass of bubbling rosé on the table! The food is creative, balanced and absolutely delicious. Thank you Craig and Team for a delightful afternoon.
The food was delicious. Would be really cozy spot on an autumn evening. I went in for weekend brunch, the halibut fish cakes and oysters were spot on! Definitely worth the visit!
Great location, we dined outside. Service was excellent. We went for the grass fed beef tenderloin and it was so tasty, did not disappoint! Highlight of our Calgary stay!
Nice coffee, lovely atmosphere, Scenic view and great hospitality. You’ll find it all here ❤️

I did the November tasting menu and really enjoyed it. The dishes provided the right amount of food such that you didn't leave feeling uncomfortably full.

My family and I came to eat here last night and had an amazing experience. As someone who works in the restaurant industry I enjoyed every moment of our visit here from the food, to the service it was all just amazing. Our server Michael was excellent, had very great knowledge of the menu and was super funny too, it was definitely a highlight of the evening. And the food was just amazing, we all tried eachothers meals because we just couldn’t resist because of how nicely it was put together on the plate.
Overall everything was 10/10 and will definitely be coming here again.

Prince's Island Park is a beautiful place with lots of trees and a nice little river cafe. That is, until the park gets swarmed by cars because the cafe allows patrons to call for a taxi from their location. This place wants its cake and eats it too -- idyllic location relatively far from noise, but if you can't be bothered to walk 100m to the nearest road, the cafe has no problem allowing a fleet of cabs to trample all over the island. I just passed 3 in the 5 minutes that I walked by there. Shame.
I have been to this place 3 times... every single time they are closed. Staff party, private event, etc. My recommendation - call in advance before going because even the online information is incorrect.
Best restaurant in Calgary!
