The Banquet (Edmonton ICE District)

Great place to go before a game . Food was average bar food . Ceaser salad was ok but lacked dressing. Burger was good

Phenomenal - no brainer before an Oil game Amazing options - great drink specials - food came out fast despite the place pumping

The food was excellent and great service. Fast and made it to the game with lots of time to spare.

I paid $20 dollar person, 2 people totaling $40 to reserve a table for dinner and I didn't get a table and had to sit at the bar... a waste of $40.00 and I feel I was taken for. I reserved a table, paid a $40 despot only to just be put up at the bar.

The service was terrible. A beer not showing up after asking 4 different people is terrible. 40 mins later......

Love the Banquet. Has a great vibe and the service is amazing. Make a damn good old fashioned as well.

Came here with a larger group for a friends birthday. The atmosphere is really cool and definitely fun. Our server was attentive and friendly and did really well serving the large group. I ordered the Sunshine Bowl and while I was hesitant because I am not a huge kale fan, I have to say it was amazing. I wish I could buy their signature homemade sesame yogurt because I seriously cannot get over how good the salad was.

When you make a 9:45 post game reservation, it would be helpful to know that kids 18 and under aren’t allowed in past 9:00.

We went to The Banquet in Ice District tonight before the Oilers game and, due to the horrible service, we ended up being late for the game. We arrived for our 5:45 reservation and were told our party had already been seated which was not true. After being seated, we were left for about 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Drinks were ordered, but no menus were brought. We eventually had to ask for menus, and our server had to run to the server station to get them. Once we had menus, we waited an additional 25 minutes just to place our food order. At that point, we had to get up and ask someone if we could order because we were running out of time before the game.
When the food finally came out, I asked the food runner if my meal was the celiac meal. Her response was, “I don’t know, the kitchen just handed it to me.” I had to ask her to double-check. Everyone received their meals except one person, who ordered a salad which, as someone who works as a server myself, is typically the quickest item to be ready. I want to be very clear that this has nothing to do with our server. She was absolutely amazing, kind, and communicative. She let us know she was new and had never worked that section before. This experience reflects poor management and lack of organization, not her effort.
Overall, I’m extremely disappointed in our visit and will not be returning.

Food was very enjoyable and the service by Camille was even better.

Camille is the absolute best! She took care of the ice carvers and our party. We will be coming back! And requesting her! Thank you.

We had dinner at the Banquet last night. We were walking from Roger’s Place and had difficulty finding the Banquet. Please note that it’s inside the Ice District and you need to go outside to find it.
Two of us had the ban mi chicken sandwich, one with fries and one with the beet salad. The chicken sandwiches were good but could have used more marinated vegetables. The beef tallow fries were good and the beet salad was spectacular. Another of our group had the Carolina brisket sandwich with fries and loved it. The fourth member of our group had an order of honey garlic wings and was disappointed. In his words the wings were small and dry with very little sauce.
We ordered a couple of items to go for family members who had stayed home. The beet salad was raved about as a take out too. It will definitely be the side I’ll order again.
The service was friendly and attentive. We’ll go again but we’ll avoid the wings.

I can’t say enough good things about Jake and the servers at banquet. They are incredibly skilled at what they do and consistently go above and beyond expectations. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and positive attitude made the restaurant experience phenomenal. I would highly recommend banquet to anyone looking for punctual and excellent service.
