came here for a staff christmas dinner last night and i can surely say that i left there very very happy.
i had the tuna and pork belly, to be honest it had some odd flavors but tasted well.
the tuna was the best part of that dish, it was cooked rare and done so well i don't think i can have tuna any other way now.
to be honest the apple cobbler was only okay, the ice cream served with it was really good.
at the end we all have coffee, hot chocolate and cappuccinos, i normally don't like cappuccinos but this one was just so perfect.
the only bad thing about this restaurant i can say is that my partner thinks the portion sizes are too small, and during winter it becomes a cold adventure to get to the restaurant.
ita a beautiful walk on the way there if the weather isn't

i have now been here 4 times. every single time i have disgusting, snotty service by some short tempered waiter who complains about being over worked. find a new restaurant to work at. the food today...again putrid. i had the sirloin with a potato puree that tasted like dirty dish water with about the same consistency. get it together river cafe...i cannot believe how many people were also complaining at surrounding tables. brutal food and service. an absolute joke for such a great atmosphere. lipstick on a pig....period.

a very mediocre restaurant in a beautiful location. having twice dined at the river cafe, we have been disappointed twice. the first time in july of 2014 the service was awful. the second time was september 2015 when some of the food was burnt and spoiled the taste. such a waste of a lovely setting. they need better restaurant management.

exceptional service, amazing food. we had a business dinner here and they treated us like kings. the staff are so professional and courteous. beautiful rustic decor inside and out on the patio. i had the chicken and veg and it was truly one of the most balanced best tasting meals i have had in calgary. a perfect evening, sitting out on the patio with amazing views of downtown.

situated on prince's island, this is a treat! beer on the patio on the afternoon between a bike ride. or lunch and dinner if you can afford to drop a pretty penny- my favorite is the candied trout.

i love how this place looks in the middle of the park. perfect for walking around before or after your meal.

i've only been for brunch and the food was pretty good. the little pastry basket was good for sharing. the eggs benedict was good, except that i asked for my egg to be soft and one came out completely hard. the server apologized though and service was amazing. tiramisu was good but nothing amazing that i would go back for. the chocolate tart was good, and the fruit sorbet was so refreshing, i would recommend. the drinks were refreshing and nice on the patio, but nothing to write home about. mixed feelings about the food depending on the dish, but i would definitely be willing to go back and try for dinner.

love starting off with a small walk to the restaurant. it's a beautiful restaurant in a middle of a park. they have wonderful specials. i don't come here often but when i do, i'm always reminded why i enjoy it there. the servers are happy and informative. food quality is superb. the decor is traditional cabin yet modern. and to finish off dinner with a walk along the bow! great place for a date guys!

the interior and the atmosphere of river cafe is superb. however, the brunch that i ordered was lacking tremendously. it was nothing special. i have heard different things about their dinner menu though. i will have to try and come back for that one day.

i hate to give this review but this place is about a 50/50 and not on the good side. location, menu and ambiance, amazing. service, wine and water service, execution of food, terrible. service was 4/10, she had too large a section and took forever for everything. burger had a big piece of plastic so we sent it back and asked for a to-go, what we got was a box with a sticker. the sticker was well placed as we didn't open the box until we got home.. much to our surprise finding the same half eaten burger patty with chucks of others. disgusting and a disgrace.

i have only been here once and it was for big taste. i have always walked by river cafe when i'm down at princes island park. i love that it has the rustic look and the inside feels like you are in banff. the only thing that deterred me from trying this place before was the price. it is on the expensive side, but during big taste, it was definitely worth it. one of my favourite dishes for the big taste was the octopus dish. i love grilled octopus so i had to try this dish. it was sooo tasty and it came with crispy pork belly as well. 
i enjoyed my experience here and will go back again, probably during big taste :)

set in the middle of prince’s island park, this little restaurant has a rustic setting, surrounded by large trees and flower bushes. our reservation was quite late, and as we walked down the path to our destination, the sun was setting and the antique-like pathway lights were beginning to turn on.

great night out!
went for my girlfriends birthday dinner and we did the chefs menu... every course was amazing! the wine pairing were excellent and the staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable when ever course came.
it's such a great location and such a wonderful place to have a special evening out.
will be going back there for the regular menu soon!

very rustic and romantic ambience. i went on a warm day, and sat outside on the patio and could hear the sound of the river and the birds. great view and amazing food.
