This place is totally a Greeni9e place - sustainable menu items and local (like right on the property) greens and herbs for the salads. A very good concept, and if you are a person who grows your own, you will love the way they prepare and present their food. A little steep - a small (tiny) salad was $13.00 Canadian.... More

Had dinner at River Cafe as part of a large group. They reserved us the fireplace area away from the view (which was lovely on a beautiful sunny Spring evening).

Service was slow, the wrong food was brought out to begin with. We then waited an hour for our food. The portion size for the main course was appetizer size. I though they had... More

I had heard this was one of the best places to eat in Calgary and was very excited to check it out. The room is lovely and warm and I love the decor, cabinesque, canoes, stone fireplace etc. Really nice - and the open kitchen as well. The menu was very enticing, but was disappointed that some of the dishes... More

We visited the River Cafe after a stroll around downtown & the park with my mother-in-law who was visiting us from the UK. Service was great, food very good & tasty.
