As always, service was on point, food was great and came out quickly with pairings as we requested as we were pressed for time before an event. They also recognized our celebration which I found really thoughtful. Can’t say enough good things. Grateful for a consistent, friendly and elevated place to go!

The staff was absolutely phenomenal at this restaurant. It was very quiet (Monday, April 21st). The quality of our food, drinks, and dessert was one of the best we have experienced.

I absolutely love Bodega! The well thought out stunning Decor creates an ambience that transported us to a European destination. We were at the new whyte ave location last night and enjoyed open air dining as the front of the restaurant opens up to the beautiful Weather and fresh air. The service was top notch, very welcoming and professional staff who took very good care of us. Delicious cocktails (try the Spanish old fashioned). And then the food-- every tapa that we ordered (and we ordered about 8 different dishes to share) was cooked to perfection, incredibly delicious and flavourful. This is a 100% local business started here is Edmonton by Edmontonians and I highly recommend supporting them! Jamie Cooper

We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our server was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and on point. We were pleasantly surprised by how quickly our food arrived; everything came out much faster than expected. We started with the mussels in a tomato-based sauce, which were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For our mains, my husband had the lamb and I ordered the tenderloin — both were incredibly delicious and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend this place! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Riverside Bistro-Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton is very commendable to all who want to eat a decent and delicious food with a beautiful scenery of Edmonton Downtown. My wife and I was very happy and very satisfied to celebrate her birthday. The crew are also nice, kind. We would probably come again but this time with family and friends.

The service was outstanding! I ordered a cocktail that was a bit too sweet, the server immediately offered to replace it, remedied perfectly! We ordered Bruschetta which was absolutely amazing! Cauliflower bites were the best we had ever tasted! The build your own charcuterie had wonderful options and we enjoyed them all, especially the strawberry honey compote! The ambiance and music were so pleasant and relaxing! Absolutely a wonderful experience for a leisurely dining option. If I could rate this restaurant on a scale of 10, I would give it a 15!
