The place is outstanding - fresh seasonal locally sourced food, perfectly prepared in an unpretentious environment. What more could you want?!
The interior is warm, cozy, and spotlessly clean. The view of the park is very nice. Waitstaff were slow and a bit bland, but, they got the job done so I cannot complain.
I had the bison burger with bacon - a fine example of a high end artisan burger able to stand up to anything NYC's best burger joints have to offer.
River Cafe is a gem in Calgary and the locals should be proud.
