Reviews for Riverbank Bistro in St. Albert, AB
Food was great! The best were the Waffles. Service was a bit lacking. Slow and unfriendly. We had to ask for many basic things... like water refills, ketchup and the server never asked how the food was. She also inserted herself in the most inopportunespots, like trying to put a dish down in front of a baby. All our dishes came out separately. It felt like they didn't know howto handle a larger group. At 1pm, we were told we have to put our order in as they would have dinner service soon. Edit:Service was still quite poor. Came back for just the waffles and to celebrate our anniversary. We had an open table reservationand there were only a handful of tables inside the restaurant with two servers. OpenTable had asked if we were celebratinganything and we had typed in "Anniversary". Even then they didn't know it was our anniversary and didn't offer anything. When Iasked at the end of the meal, the server said well they don't do anything for "free"... Just led me to believe that maybe theywould have a discount of some sort. She then led to say that there were desserts and asked if we wanted any. We ordered and theywrote "Happy Anniversary" on the plate but charged us the full price. I feel like the communication here was not the greatest.I would reconsider eating here again. Maybe take out. Read more
Everything was standard, there was nothing special about the food. We went there because it was rated 1 of the top 100 in all of... Canada. The bison was tough. The pork was chewy. Everything was mediocre and probably won’t be going back. It was ok justtrying it once. Service was good. Out of all the ones we tried, I liked the Carpaccio the most. Read more

Today was my second time enjoying brunch at Riverbank Bistro. When I came in November 2021, I was really looking forward to... trying their wild-berry waffles, but was told they were sold out, even though I arrived an hour after they had opened for theday. Today, I finally got to order my waffles and they were phenomenal! They had a delightful crunchy sugar coating and weretopped with blueberries and cherries in syrup, as well as two generous scoops of whipped cream. My boyfriend had the R.B.breakfast bowl with a side of lamb sausage. The flavours in the breakfast bowl were wonderful together - salty, tangy, with ahint of sweetness. We were really satisfied with the food at Riverbank Bistro. Read more
An anniversary to be remembered with a true culinary experience. The duck breast was cooked perfectly, flavourful, moist with... crispy skin. The roasted cauliflower was lightly seasoned, alongside reduced sweet but savoury cherries. Put them all together:a perfect concoction of flavour. Eye rolling good. Compliments to the chef and the wonderful serve staff. See you again soon! Read more
Very good in atmosphere. Good for anniversary or some celebration. Not good for eating full. Tasty and good quality but not much... in quantity. It takes 40 to 60 per person in average. Read more
