“I had the Chicken and Waffles and really enjoyed it. This a fresh, new and clean local with good service. Was happy with my meal this afternoon.“

“10/5 would eat here all day every day if I could afford to LOL. My mind was blown at all that was on offer. Whoever your chefs are my hats off to them. The food the flavors the pairings the combinations of flavors the presentation on top of an atmosphere carefully curated into a cozy lively Japanese style tapas bar with the most stellar customer service from your servers you can't go wrong here, you just can't. My brain had fireworks going off the entire time I was there tasting everything I had ordered from the duck and beef tataki to the 5 assorted sashimi and the aburi saba. It was "chef's kiss". If you're new to Edmonton and love Japanese styled and inspired foods you HAVE TO COME HERE. Reservations highly encouraged we got lucky to get in as quick as we did without one, but this place is VERY popular.“

“Happy hour is amazing! 3-6pm great place to duck in out of the heat on a Saturday afternoon. Ribs and garlic knots are delicious. The Scona Ruby is a very tasty red ale.“

“Always good service, delicious food and drinks. Never disappoints.“

“Marlo catered our staff party today and it was so impressive. I have eaten there on my own and it was wonderful. Truly some of the best tacos in the city. We got them to cater our staff party and the quality was still incredible. Never misses ?

Vegetarian options: Mushroom tacos“

“Went with a group yesterday for. Lunch. Server was a gentleman who you could tell really takes pride in what he does. Genuinely friendly, not pushy, but attentive. Great job.

Atmosphere was nice, lots of space, very nice decor, and open space was really appreciated.

Food was a bit of a miss. Had the 1/2 chicken which seemed like a large breast cut in half and then placed on top of one another. Fries were stale and hard to eat.
Warm potato salad was nice with the smashed baby potatoes, however I would have liked more color. More corn & perhaps.some chives or green onions to make it more visually appealing.

Overall a decent place to go.“

“Certainly a different experience from any other bar in the city. Daya was fantastic and elevated the experience to a full blown vibe. One of the funnest casual drink outings I've ever had! We'll be back!“

“Small portions on food, a little pricey and the place itself is small but the flavors were so unique and savory it blew us away! The service was amazing - our server made lots of jokes and made our time fun. We had window seats looking over a streetview. The vibe was overall nice but there were a couple of homeless people watching over us eat which made things awkward but that's outside the restaurant's control. Overall would come again“

“Fantastic change from the norm“

“Pleasant place to have dinner. Good portions with satisfying sandwiches. Went here to catch up with a friend, noise level was easy to talk through, ambiance was also cozy and warm. Overall, it was a worthwhile dinner stop for filling sandwiches.“

“We had such a great experience at Earls! The service was amazing—quick, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. Our server checked in on us just the right amount, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything came out fresh and timely. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Amazing food and service! Ambience is great, and the smell of woodsmoke really adds to it. Food is unique and delicious, worth how pricy it is. Great place for a treat, or even a cocktail. Their cocktail and mocktail menu is extensive—which is amazing as someone in my party doesn't drink and he still had lots of variety beyond just pop.“

“It was a perfect place to start our night! Thank you, as always, for the great food, service and ambience!“

“From the moment you step into Fu's Repair Shop you know you are in for a playful adventure… the dining room is decked out like an old garage with exposed brick and walls lined with wrenches and neon lights and a sea of red lanterns overhead… there is a bustling open kitchen and sometimes a live DJ or playlist that gives the space a speakeasy vibe while still feeling cozy and romantic… the menu offers an inventive spin on Asian street food and dim sum with rich flavours and fun plating… we shared green onion pancakes and dumplings dripping with umami broth, crispy Peking duck tacos and juicy Shanghai noodles… each small plate was fresh and artfully presented with bold sauces and spices… the cocktail program is equally creative with drinks like the mango lassi martini and a spicy Thai basil gin sour that pair perfectly with the food… service was friendly and attentive and our server made great recommendations and timed each course perfectly… despite the lively bar scene it felt upscale and comfortable enough for a date night or celebratory dinner… vegetarians and guests with food allergies are accommodated with dishes like charred cauliflower and salads and the kitchen is happy to adjust ingredients upon request… there is a wheelchair accessible entrance and washroom and although parking is paid street only the staff will point you to the nearest spots… we recommend booking a table for dinner because this place fills up quickly… overall Fu's Repair Shop is a fun blend of trendy lounge and modern Asian eatery and I can’t wait to return with friends for another night of cocktails and shareable plates.“

“I had awesome first experience tonight there! The food quality was great with fresh ingredients. We had exceptional customer service from Erik, guided us through the menu and offered excellent recommendations. I can definitely say this won’t be my last visit!
By the way the atmosphere was pleasant“

“May exceeded our expectations. Excellent service, nice atmosphere, and delicious, unique, well-presented dishes. The striploin and drumsticks were highlights! Thanks for being such a memorable part of our anniversary; we look forward to returning for brunch. :)“

“Just left Partake with nothing but good things to say! Our server and any other staff we encountered was genuinely, authentically kind. Customer service went above and beyond the usual. We had two allergies at the table between two of us. They were so well addressed. We sat outside on the patio and didn't have mosquito repellent. The staff dug up citronella candles and mosquito coils and made sure we were comfortable. This place is soulful. This place is a vibe 🙏🏽“

“Having little bit of dinner at sixty6 bar n grill my favorite place to come chill and realx one of the best places I have been in this city. If I'm going through anything in my life I come her and I feel better instantly. This my happy place in Edmonton. And londendaery mall. And they also some of the most beautiful bartenders here 👹💯“

“Enjoyed every moment spent in the building. The second after entering I was taken care of all the way to leaving the place with an elevated feeling to stay for longer and come in another time. No regret for money spent, felt that everything was reasonable and even had an intrusive thought that those espresso martinis may be topped up with a dollar or so due to excellent taste. The team works like a Swiss clock and there is uniqueness to being at Earls in comparison to other places.“

“I absolutely loved my experience at Earls Tin Palace. We had excellent service from Paige. She was so attentive and friendly. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Will be asking to sit in her section next time we go!! The food was fresh and delicious and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Overall top marks!“

“Brendan who was managing the floor during the evening was amazing. Went above and beyond❤️“

“Since moving back home to the island The Bower is my go to venue when returning to Edmonton. Being a DJ this place hires incredible fellow DJs. Strongly recommend!!!!“

“Myself and a couple friends stopped in before a concert at Rogers. The atmosphere was very inviting they usually only are open on Sundays for event nights, couldn’t believe it wasn’t more busy. We ordered tapas drinks and mains, the food was phenomenal, so good and came out very quick! We had Maria serving us she was so lovely very present without being at the table too much. Everyone who worked there we interacted with was so welcoming. Definitely will be back to try some more delicious foods, be sure to check out their drinks/shots!“

“The venue is welcoming & trendy, with an inviting bar area and cosy tables. Outdoor seating overlooking the road is also an option. Service was great - very attentive & knowledgeable. I had two starters / shareable- the scallops cevice & the steak tartar. The tartar was really delicious! Flavors very well balanced & the sourdough was perfect for mopping up the sauce. The cevice was good - the spicy sweet chili was the perfect addition. Co-diners had steak which looked very average, and was reported to be a bit overcooked. Personally I would have been a bit disappointed in the tallow chips, as they were not at all like fries but rather like snacking chips.
The cocktails were interesting & had some great well balanced options.“

“Being vegeterian it is always a challenge to find good canadian restaurant for a nice family dinner. Earls kitchen surely a good place to have a great family night out. Although they have limited vegetarian dishes, all were delicious and good for satisfying craving. Service was very slow and could have been better. A large patio offers perfect seating during summer days, particularly with pets.“

“Great cocktails and good food“

“We had a great server (Maya I believe? She was very friendly and attentive). The restaurant was very busy so it did take a bit for the food to arrive (maybe 45 min after order), but we expected that so was acceptable. Lots of pop refills without even asking. Portions were on the small side, though I'm sure that's done so you order desserts and an appetizer lol. Overall the food was great and was nice that the let us bring an extra person to make a table of 10. At no time did we feel we were being rushed out the door. Was pleasantly surprised that they didn't auto-tip for the big group also. Would certainly recommend this place and will return.“

“Authentic Indian food but you need to come for the cocktails. Great experience overall!! We’ll definitely be back🥂“

“Had a great brunch this morning at Ampersand 27. Delicious food, Excellent service by Mido and a lovely atmosphere to laugh with my ladies. Thank you!“

“I had an amazing time at Alchemy Bar. The atmosphere was the perfect mix of lively and comfortable, with great music and just the right volume for conversation. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. Drinks were beautifully presented, balanced, and full of flavor. The space feels inviting whether you’re out with friends or just stopping in for a solo drink. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“Such an enjoyable experience, highly recommend this restaurant, starting with the hostess, so welcoming and catered to our requests. Waiter was so knowledgeable and had the best suggestions, to many to list. Drinks were amazing, Bartender was full of energy and was fantastic with his customers. The Food, Outstanding! The cornbread, bacon wrapped dates & ribs we honestly to die for.. the ribs cooked to perfection. Great job to all & thanks for a positive experience. Can’t wait for our next visit ??“

“Cute adorable decor and lovely spoil yourself dishes.“

“My daughter and I had the most magical afternoon at Rhubarb Café & Cocktails in Edmonton. The ambiance felt like a charming Parisian café—cozy, elegant, and filled with soft French music. We ordered the Rhubarb Fog and a warm cinnamon bun—both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The entire experience felt special and relaxing, and we left with full hearts and happy tastebuds. It’s truly one of our new favorite spots in the city!“

“was so delicious very good food“

“Pros- Happy hour menu had some tasty affordable choices. Booth was spacious, comfy, clean. Atmosphere very relaxed- dress up or down as you like. Did not have to yell to be heard but didn't feel like everyone was listening in. Women's washroom very clean. Good service staff. Cons- they removed angry lettuce chicken wraps completely; very limited Happy Hour beer selection;would have liked to see some dessert on Happy Hour menu.“

“st night we celebrated a birthday dinner on the patio at Earls, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with cozy lighting, comfortable seating, and just the right amount of background buzz to make it feel lively without being overwhelming. The patio had a relaxed yet stylish vibe, which made it feel special for the occasion. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure the birthday felt acknowledged, even surprising us with a little extra attention to the celebration. The food was delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. From appetizers to mains, everything came out at just the right pace, giving us time to relax, chat, and enjoy the evening. What made the night especially memorable was how easy it felt—good food, great service, and a fun setting that set the tone for celebrating. Earls' patio truly delivered a comfortable, celebratory atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to mark a birthday.“

“I Am Very Impressed With The Amazing Bowling Deals On A Cheap Day On A Non-Game Day. Very Respectfully Got To Say The Service is Absolutely Amazing! Also Looking Forward To Eating There Next Time I Come. Also Look Forward To Bowling Again Too!“

“Excellent service, skilled bartender. Will be back.“

“Braven is a gorgeous steakhouse in the JW Marriott where you feel like you’re stepping into a warm and elegant lodge… the space is filled with polished wood, soaring ceilings, soft lighting and an open kitchen so you can watch chefs tending the wood fired grill. The menu focuses on Alberta beef and other locally sourced proteins with dishes like perfectly seared ribeyes, tender filet mignon, slow roasted prime rib and shareable tomahawk steaks. Small plates such as crispy calamari, garlic prawns and bone marrow are rich and indulgent, and the sides of whipped potatoes and roasted root vegetables are delicious. Service is professional and friendly without being stuffy… servers are happy to guide you through the extensive wine list and craft cocktail program or recommend the perfect pairing from their great beer selection. The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale and romantic with booths for two as well as larger tables for groups or business dinners. It’s fully accessible with a wheelchair friendly entrance and washrooms… reservations are recommended since it’s popular for dinner and special occasions. Overall Braven delivers a polished dining experience that’s worth the splurge.“
