Riverside Bistro - Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton

I had a reservation for this particular day which was good because there were a whole bunch of people coming in from a conference. We had an awesome view of the river valley and the service was great. We thought that we were going to have to wait a long time due to the number of people but within 10 minutes we had our food. I would love to come back in the summer time to sit outside.

We came for a birthday party, and what made our experience wonderful was the server. She was so positive and kind, it was refreshing!

We were unimpressed with brunch buffet option, and the breakfast itself was okay, but nothing special.

The location of course was fantastic!

Food was just okay considering the price, service was good although restaurant was understaffed the night we went. Waiter was great, friendly and accommodating.

It was a great evening spent visiting with family, we all enjoyed our meals and service was perfect. Due to the Christmas season we had the restaurant to ourselves.

*The one thing I want to mention is regarding parking, please update the parking instructions in your overview. You mention "in front" but don't mention where exactly. We assumed parking was $5.00 for either valet parking or we could park on our own in the parkade for $5.00. We ended up paying way more than $5.00. Just make the parking options more clear. Thanks!

The servers were really nice and our food was great. The restaurant also had an excellent ambience and great views. It will definitely be better to see the views on their balcony tables, so we will come back during the summer!

Great food with an amazing view of the river valley. The Yorkie appetizers were wonderful. The meals were timely and tasty for our whole group.

We also enjoyed their breakfast the next day.
A hidden gem.

We enjoyed our meals, how we were served and okay with the price. Enjoyable, tasty and comfortable.
Will be back again.
Thank you.

Service was great. Food was very good. Really enjoyed our dinner.

We had excellent service, table with a view, waiter offered to take a photo of our group.
Appitizer and drinks perfect pre symphony spot

Wonderful food. Great service. Prices were fair. The view is spectacular! Would definitely come back for a date night with the hubby!

Good was okay, service hit and miss,
Probably won’t go back.

Couldn't have found a better place for my husband's birthday dinner

We enjoyed the service. The best part was the view!

Best view in town especially for the reasonable dinner prices. Two of us ordred the the butter chicken and it was better than the Indian restaurants we've eaten at in town.

Great service. Fabulous food! Beautiful views! Very friendly!

Good food n view

Our waiter was very pleasant and accommodating - he carried an umbrella over to our table to shade the other members of our group. The food was tasty and the terrace has a sensational view of the river valley.
A most enjoyable anniversary luncheon experience - except for the wasps which are unavoidable at this time of year. The view from inside is just a spectacular!

Pésimo servicio tardaron en traernos la carta y en servirnos la copa de vino que pedimos la mesa tuvimos que pedir que la limpiaran había hecho reservación para la terraza y me dijeron que la mesa que yo quería era para una reservación para otras personas. Never going back again terrible experience Price is too high for what they give not a good service

Magnificent view of the river valley. Ribs were delicious and of terrific value. Seemed to accommodate groups well. Definitely recommended if you are looking to rack up your points.

A friend was in from out of town, first day of the folk fest , so where better to take him than the Bistro patio. I used the online reservation tool and got a table outside. It was a busy Thursday evening so I knew we wouldn't be so lucky to get the prime tables. Our server was very attentive, I loved their was little bottles of prosecco on the wine menu and the menu itself was quite varied though definitely on the pricey side. My friend was excited to see Kronenberg rouge on the beer menu, but it was out of stock. I am a veggie so will always say I wish there was more options on the menu for me, but the Mushroom raviolli was really tasty. Overall, a great venue for a lovely meal and one of the best view in Edmonton. The only begrudge is paying $16 to park! I could have found other parking for less but was running a bit late so just parked in the hotel parking, wow, thats alot ;-)

Great view! I wish we had come here sooner. The patio is awesome but they also have a excellent view of the river from inside as well. The food was good, a bit pricey though. Would come back.

My partner and I came in to celebrate our anniversary, we did a late dinner around 9, sat on the outdoor patio and caught the most beautiful sunset over the cityscape.
The employees were very welcoming and kind people.
The food was tasty, me being someone who enjoys middle eastern food, I ordered the butter chicken. Most of the time to have good butter chicken you need to go to middle eastern restaurant, but I was very pleased with the results here, the spices were accurate and it was a delicious meal. Very excited to come back and try more of the menu.

Decent ambience, ok views, food was okay but way overpriced.

Enjoyed the evening and the meal. Patio is one of the best in the city.

Had a great visit with old friends on the patio! It was a beautiful evening and our waitress was just the right amount of attentiveness. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy the patio again, such a beautiful view of our lovely river valley!

Googled Edmonton downtown brunch and this came up. They don’t serve brunch.

It was a beautiful setting overlooking the river. Food was delicious! Service was great!

Best patio with a view of the river valley in Edmonton!!

The view was stunning!!! VERY SLOW and inefficient service despite the fact that they had a lot of staff working. Decent food.

Park in valet and let the front desk know you're there to eat. Will cost $5 instead of $16 in the parking lot.

Food was ok, a little pricey, but it's a hotel downtown...

Amazing! The dining experience was excellent. Food was great. Beautiful view!

Wonderful and gorgeous views of the river valley and downtown.

Great spot. Perfect for a summer night!

We got great service and a spectacular view. We were celebrating a birthday and The Bistro was a great option.

A small error was corrected quickly and with grace. Overall a great experience.

We went back the next morning after checking out of the hotel, and had the same great service.

Awesome food and fun view of the river and city! Can't wait to go back!

The patio and view are great. The drink menu is food. Food is mediocre and service was terrible. But naturally I’ll be back because of the patio and the view...

Hidden gem in Edmonton. Gorgeous view of the River Valley. Food was great.

Very pleasant experience. Server was great. One of the best views of the river valley in Edmonton.

Service was very slow but food was good! I wouldn’t order steak again from here tho as they don’t know how mr steak is cooked, other then that everything else was great I’d come back again!

View and atmosphere are phenomenal. However, service is lacking, long wait time, poor table maintenance, and forget servers etc.
