    River Cafe is one of the most beautiful places to dine in Calgary! The menu is brilliant, the wine list is carefully curated, and the staff are exceptional. We enjoyed the Fish & Game Board with Cheese, it was perfectly paired with a couple of glasses of the Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc.

    Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our waitress answered all our questions, and her suggestions were spot on. A nice and clean oshibori to start, then some delicious drinks. The food was very imaginative and tasty. Their sushi rice is the tastiest we've ever had. Everything was so fresh, and their in-house items are so great. The best moti I ever had, no questions about it. It became our favourite Japanese restaurant in Calgary.
