This restaurant is affiliated with the Delta Hotels Edmonton Centre Suites, but is also accessible via the Edmonton City Centre Mall. It is spacious and tastefully decorated. My wife and I went there several times over a 3-day stay, and were never disappointed. The staff is very friendly, with excellent food at very reasonable prices. Items we sampled and recommend include avocado toast and carrot muffin (breakfast menu), and sonic spring rolls, breaded calamari, shrimp tacos, trio chicken sliders, and pulled pork bbq sandwich (all day menu). Would definitely go there again, even if we’re not staying at the hotel.

Darling is an amazing restaurant, in every aspect. The wine list small, but unique, always changing. The Oysters were outstanding, the pasta with vodka sauce was the best I’ve ever had, the carpaccio was beautiful served with homemade focaccia. Finally dessert. A unique and delicious peach finale. We will definitely be back!!

I have been here many times, introducing new friends, family and colleagues and as always, the food, and drinks were both delicious and impressive. Both people I’d brought with me were young 24-25 year old girls and they were impressed by the decor, the beautiful drinks and food and giftware for sale. (Purchases were made) They both said they wanted to bring their fiancés there next time. It was the perfect place for a celebratory bridal lunch! Of course I will be back, and I’m sure they’ll be back and introducing their own friends in future visits.💕

We had brunch before the Citadel and it was pretty good. The lettuce wraps and fries were good as was the southwest breakfast bowl. Note to the breakfast bowl menu description - specify how the eggs are served - it would’ve saved the trouble of returning the dish to the kitchen to have it corrected from over easy to scrambled (which I requested at the time of ordering). The server was sweet and professional.

What an amazing experience at River Bistro's Dome Dining! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was absolutely magical. The private dome created a cozy, intimate setting while still allowing us to enjoy the beautiful outdoor views. The food was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavour. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the evening. The attention to detail, from the ambiance to the service, made the entire experience feel special and memorable. If you're looking for a unique dining experience for a date night, celebration, or simply a night out, I highly recommend River Bistro's Dome Dining. It was the perfect combination of delicious food, outstanding service, and a truly unforgettable setting. We can't wait to come back!
