With Sunday being a beautiful fall day, we thought spending it on a patio overlooking the Edmonton river valley would be a great idea. Drinks were good but very expensive ($24 for a cocktail) food was good (for the most part- we had to send back an overdressed salad) and reasonably priced. Our service was terribly slow. Bringing one drink at a time as each keg seemed to slowly need to be changed. By the time our last person got their drink, the first person was done theirs. Water refills were slow. Food came out quickly. I’m not sure- I was expecting more especially at the price point and location. Patio was dead too- we were the only group out there for quite awhile, so not sure the reason for slow service. Anyway- probably won’t be back there!

Server was very good & helpful, drinks took awhile to come but it wasn't her fault as they seemed slow at the bar. This was first time dining & staying at Fairmont McDonald so decided on the lounge instead of restaurant because the menu had a few more items. Food was good but nothing exceptional. Most tables not set up for real dining more for casual snacking etc. as we had a small low table but our server accommodated with another one to put our meals on. After dinner went outside for a coffee and she brought us blankets as it was a tad chilly outside.

Behind our seating there was shelving with recessed lighting that blinked incessantly. As the time passed, the afternoon got darker and the blinking became more obvious and distracting. We brought it to the attention of the server.. she regretted there was nothing she could do. No additional effort of any kind was made. And the blinking continued. We came prepared with an Edmonton Tourism coupon. That turned out to be good planning. The food prices were alarming, to say the least. The room was lovely, and the server was too. The unforgivable sin: the prices.

The location and history save the experience. Service was slow and neither our meals nor our desserts arrived at same time. Servers are slow and not to the level expected at a Fairmont. Food is good, but selection is limited. All three dessert options had nuts, which was a disappointment for me with an allergy.

This is one of our favourite places in Edmonton. Beautiful view, great location and faithful staff but food is not always consistent. Beer glass had some foreign object in it (tried to say it was from the keg…no real apology was made and no manager came by to address the issue) and the taste of “Alberta board” was a DISAPPOINTMENT!!! The board for 2 had a variety of meats but lacked presentation and flavours. Brisket was dry, ribeye was gritty and had no taste and chorizo was okay. However the pulled pork was DELICIOUS. Thank goodness! Tacos were great and hamburger was amazing. Tiered crepe dessert was good and was great with the purple UBE ice cream. And our board didn’t look like the one below in the reviews:(

Summer is coming to an end and there were mosquitoes out. I don’t know if there was any measure taken to help liviate the issue. Food is good and view is great but the constant mosquito bites doe’s ruin it a little.

Excellent attentive five star waitress. Patio view of electrical storm,stunning,warm and dry. Wine excellent but highly over priced. The menu and food was a MAJOR disappointment. Nothing creative,over cooked dry chips. Poke bowl lacked imagination,very boringly put together. Food was what you would find in a very ordinary diner. What happened to reasonable priced fish and chips and nachos,bring em back if you want to have us back. Otherwise next time it will be soak up the ambiance with drinks and head to a decent restaurant for dinner. Need to go your game for those high prices.
