The patio at the Riverside Bistro has an incredible view of the river. I made a reservation for a graduation celebration at 12:45 pm and confirmed we would be there but no preparation for a table for six was arranged. We had to help push the tables together when someone did finally take notice of us and take us to the patio. The service was not attentive other than we did have our water well taken care of. I ordered the Brussel sprout Waldorf Salad and it had a serious bagged supermarket salad vibe but the other meals ordered were fair. They also charged us an automatic 18% gratuity despite our group being 6 where the menu states over 6 at least this is what is shown online. Then our server was giving the impression that this was necessary due to how much harder the kitchen had to work to plate our food. Also chose his words in a way that made out that it was not a gratuity implying one was still due. The restaurant was not busy in any way and no one was putting in any additional effort. The thing I cannot understand is why it was so blah there when they have one of the best views in the city. This was our second visit here. Our first visit was for supper and it was much better service and the food was good so maybe they try harder for the supper patrons?

Came here for Father’s Day brunch. I tired to call in numerous times to get any details from them about cost or making a reservation to be told they weren’t having Father’s Day brunch even though it’s posted on their Instagram. I was then told to call back and speak to a supervisor because they had no answer or to make a reservation online. When we showed up it was dead and two waitresses stood there talking instead of helping us, the bartender actually saw us and seated us outside. The Father’s Day “brunch” was nothing special it was an overpriced brunch menu. Food was plain and basic. The view outside on the patio is the only reason I can see people coming here.

Beautiful restaurant - patio and view are stunning. However food is average at best, and very expensive. $8 upcharge to change a side of regular fries to sweet potato fries! Would not eat here again but would consider going for drinks and enjoying the patio.

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.

We celebrated our 41st anniversary on the patio inside one of the domes. It was absolutely wonderful to be able to set our own temperature and listen to music through the Bluetooth speaker. The lights and decor were beautiful. The food was excellent, especially the Lobster Linguini!! We would go again!!
