We love riverbank! The (amazing) food never disappoints, and we LOVE the new menu. St. Albert is lucky to have such a great restaurant placed right on the river in a beautiful building less than 10 minutes from anywhere in the city! Dan is an incredible chef.

We started with Potato soup (RBB Soup Creation) $10 and the Slow Roasted Stone Fruit salad (online menu says peaches) $18. Soup was good but I think needed more bacon or cheese as was Just potato, but was very nice 8/10. Peach salad was 12/10 delicious! The Ancho Dusted Chicken Pasta $25. He gave it a 12/10 best pasta he has ever eaten (really he is comparing it to Boston Pizza), he thought the pasta was so perfectly cooked, chicken was moist, but sauce was 12/10 the greatest thing he has eaten. Lets just say no leftovers. I got the Schnitzel $32. The size IMPRESSIVE+ delicious. Definitely one of the Best I have ever had. French fries were tasty at first but cooled too quickly. Salad as good, dressing was spot on but arugula is not my thing. Overall could forgo the fries and salad and still 10/10 would get again in a heartbeat.
