The food was amazing! We are not wine drinkers, but John, our waiter, was the sommelier of food. He was so knowledgeable describing our dishes. Each one was delectable. His service was impeccable. You have go to Odla and have an extraordinary experience!
Odla was once again amazing! Service, food and atmosphere. It was my husbands first time here and he was raving about his steak and trout. Absolutely incredible. We will be back again!

This was our first time to Odla. It was absolutely amazing. Truly one of the best meals that I have ever had. Exceptional flavours and beautifully plated. Perfect portion. We will definitely be back again and again.

The food and service were amazing. We had the chefs choice, 4 course meal. They were able to do everything gluten-free, which was awesome. We also had a gf sourdough bread with honey butter and an amazing salad, but we ate both before I remembered to get a picture!Dietary restrictions: Everything is fresh made so can accommodate many restrictions main ones were gluten free, vegetarian, and dairy free

Creative and very well made cocktails made by a bartender who was just engaging enough to make us feel at ease while mixing a steady stream of orders. The server was hospitable and well informed about the menu offerings. Appetizers, mains and dessert were beautifully presented. Food was an absolute delight for the taste buds with creative combinations of ingredients prepared to perfection.

Food was cooked to perfection. I would recommend the pickled mushrooms to pair with the steak. Our service was informative, fun and provided excellent service. Would highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience at Odla in every way. The food was incredible, so tasty and every dish was arranged so beautifully on the plates. We had the Chef's Plate and it made eating out an experience not just delicious food. Our server was so passionate about the food he was serving and knew every dish intimately. We will definitely be back and hope to try some of the same food we had or try other dishes. We also loved that it's local!
We shared apps & the cheese burger. The food is interesting and very tasty. We sit at the bar and love the bar tender. Fun & attentive. Our fav place to eat on special occasions. .

Was not a fan of the beef tartare. Was hoping for a smoked version, with savory notes, egg, parm cheese etc. But it was so pickled with asparagus and some type of raisin. Honestly that was a let down. The service was great! Drinks were so yummy and the overall presentation of the food was amazing. We loved the mains! We will be back to try other items on the menu for sure!

Once again my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Odla. The food was exceptional from the two appetizers we ordered to our mains and dessert. The service provided by our server, Jason, was excellent. We will be back again!
$85 4 course meal (although you share the 1st and 4th course, which they conveniently leave out!) featuring a “medium rare” steak with a side of terrible service. We waited an hour for an appetizer to come out.

Absolutely love Odla, one of our favourite restaurants in the city, and every time we have eaten there before has been a 10/10. I cannot emphasize this point enough: Odla is an incredible restaurant, they do a great job on every detail and point, it is worth every penny and everyone should take every opportunity to eat there as often as possible. It really kills me to deliver this critique, but I do it in the spirit of gratitude and optimism for this restaurant and staff. This Valentine's Day tasting menu was a bit of a miss for us, and in a word: “Perplexing”. We left wondering what sort of staffing issues they might be dealing with — and that kind of thing happens to great restaurants and they bounce back and I have no doubt that this place will do that. The food was ‘okay' at best — even for a modestly priced tasting menu ($85/4course). A full plate of “meh” fries and “meh” steak as the main course was disappointing; the charcuterie was good but felt slapdash — the salad was the best course and that's not generally a good thing. Morel mushrooms with the steak: Perfect! Divine! Dessert: way too salty even for massive salt-lovers. Service was fine, though I'd stress the importance for wine pairings to arrive before a course is finished. The ambience in terms of lighting and ‘vibe' was good, but the most disappointing part of the evening was the music. It was Valentine's Day and in the 90 minutes we were there we heard several classic break-up songs, including the GOAT heartbreak tearjerker “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver. Not really the romantic atmosphere we were expecting. There was also a 15-20 minute silence, and the same song played 3 times in 90 minutes (Such Great Heights by the Postal Service). For a Valentine's Day tasting menu, I think ambience is critical and music is a big part of that. We had a great time and left happy — but that would've been the case if we'd eaten a tin of cat food under the bridge. We LOVE Odla and will continue to patronize them.

I ordered 1 espresso martini and got 2 and proceeded to order 1 corona and got 2, the pasta tastes like hamburger helper, as a food connoisseur I recommend subway around the corner.

It was OK. Not bad but I wouldn't say great either. I was so excited to eat here and left feeling let down. I think they forgot to salt my pasta as my carbonara was very, very bland. I did not enjoy the chocolate tart at all. For the hype this place has received, I didn't think it was anything special for the price. Service was okay. The pickerel croquettes were great though and that's why I gave 3 stars. I would prefer Hearth or Primal next time I go out for a meal.

ODLA is my favorite restaurant in Saskatoon for a consistent, fresh, farm to table meal! We love to spend special occasions here. It is expensive, but you are guaranteed a delicious meal that is of high quality. The meals feel “home cooked” but gives complex flavors. By far the best Saskatoon has to offer!
