Really enjoyed brunch! The lemon ricotta pancakes were so yummy and great to share with my husband alongside our main dishes.

We were a group of 9 for lunch. Apologize for the lack of pictures. Food was fantastic as was the service and the music. We shared a few dishes, all were delicious. The restaurant kindly let us order a couple of items from the Bites menu (normally available from 3- close): Tempura Oyster Mushrooms (so tasty and crispy) and Bread Rolls (could have filled up with those). From the Gardens & Grains: Romaine salad, smashed cucumber (this was a hit with all) and Grilled Broccolini (lovely charred flavour - one of the ladies ordered it for her lunch it was so good).
For mains, again everyone was raving about their dish. I may be missing a couple of items but I know we tried: Brunch Menu: Chorizo Verde, Brunch Greens, Sandwich Menu: Buttermilk Fried Chicken Thigh (very flavourful), Bison Patty (they had it as a lettuce wrap), Chorizo Verde Smash Patty (loved it).
Each dish had something unique added to it - black garlic cream, pickled grapes, candied jalapeno, charred garlic cream.
I highly recommend going. The outside restaurant signage doesn't jump out at you - you do need to look for it. Well worth a trip!

Incredibly disappointing visit. My coffee came in a dirty mug, then I found not just one but SEVERAL hairs in my food. The server basically shrugged and offered no recourse. Escalated the complaint to management who (over a week later) have still not reached out. I submitted a Public Health report and definitely won't be returning to eat here.

Delicious!!! This is our third visit to May and it just gets better and better!!! Broccolini with pickled grapes-------a favourite. Try the butter rolls, oh my, my!! Funky cocktails. Had a really great evening with the 6 of us. Excellent service! We've had the same waiter every time and he's a delight. Highly recommend a visit to May's.

Got the corn bread Benny and mule. The mule was a bit sweet for my liking, but everything else was great. The hash that came with my the benny's was pretty good.

We had a great evening at May. Brad took care of us very well. I can’t remember the last time we had such attentive service.
The restaurant is beautiful with nice wooden tables, comfortable seating, and a stunning bar.
The drinks tasted great, with a vast selection of wine, cocktails and aperitif.
We enjoyed the food. The chicken drums and cucumber salad were delicious.

I alway enjoy coming here, whether for the amazing rolls, coriander chicken drums, delish striploin (medium rare of course, I’m no savage!) or just enjoying a glass on wine and talking with the always friendly staff. I didn’t even mention the brunch yet! Come see for yourself, one of my top 3 go toos.

Second time eating here the first time was delicious but this second time was not great and the quality was not as good as the first time. Chicken was overcooked on the chicken and French toast. The ricotta pancakes were slightly burnt and the jam it’s served with was the texture of tar (I had order this on my first visit and it was completely different this time). Service was average, restaurant was very loud and our server spoke like a little mouse, couldn’t hear a word she said

A planned two person date turned into an 8 person sibling get together. May was great at accommodating us. Server had great suggestions on food and quantity. More shareable plates than traditional choose your own meal dining. Value was amazing considering how many different dishes we tried. Standouts were the smashed cucumber salad. Oyster mushrooms. Risotto. Chicken drumsticks. Octopus. Great and unique cocktails too! Great time!

The food was phenomenal. The service is always fantastic and personable. Eggs benny on cornbread is brilliant and flavourful and now my favourite brunch in Edmonton.❤️
I had the gnudi. Overpriced dish. It was way too garlicky.

This was our favourite place to eat on 124th. "Was".... My chicken was overcooked to the point it tasted burnt. The foam was drenching my meal. With some of our fav items now removed from the menu, there are better options to enjoy elsewhere. So sad.

Went for a brunch while our friend Marc is out of town just to make him jealous. We had Shakshouka and the Cornbread Benny. The Shakshouka was nice and spicy. I was glad to find out that cornbread goes great with hollandaise. The cornbread doesn't stand up to cutting through the peameal back bacon but it is still delicious after being pulverized. A little planning can avoid damaged bread by cutting the bacon off to the side.
Came back and did a repeat order. Still good quality but a noticeable difference we think came from a different chef today.
Parking: There is paid street parking out front and free parking across the street. The free parking may not last, the parking restriction signs have been flipped backwards so they might come back again. It usually doesn't take too long to find parking nearby in this neighborhood.

Went to this cute restaurant with friends for brunch. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We had a very nice server and the ambiance was perfect for talking and hanging out. The restaurant is in a great location specially to stop by after a stroll. Really cool atmosphere, tons of menu options and great service!
