Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Lake Bona Vista

Food and service is always great at this Keg location. I really appreciated that everyone took the food allergy at our table (even it’s not a severe allergy) very seriously. The manager came to speak with us to ensure that all the dishes that we ordered did not contain the allergen and that the dishes were free from cross contamination. Any time they brought us dishes, they also took the time to explain and let us know that it had been prepared in a safe manner. Our server was great as well. He made sure to check in on us and made sure that we had a very fun and great night out!

It was a quiet Wednesday night at The Living Room, we sat at a nice table for two by the fire. We ordered Vitelli tonado for an appetizer, it was lovely and just enough to share. I had the lamb shank, it was excellent and very rich with mashed potatoes and gravy. It fell off the bone. My friend had salmon, also cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We didn’t have dessert. Josh was our waiter and was perfect. We waited for nothing, he was there exactly when we needed him. Aaron was the bartender, and he was delightful!! We had their famous “shafts” a great little pick me up; we also had winter wine, like a sangria only prettier and in a martini glass. Cool place, great ambiance. Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent food and service! a little chilly though in the restaurant

We were travel weary and wanted a good brunch before an afternoon snooze. Google pointed us to River Cafe and to our delight, it was perfect in every way. The views outside, the ambience, the staff, the food = perfection. The only thing that would bring me back to Calgary (sorry, Calgary) is the thought of another meal at River Cafe.

Our family did the tasting menu for 4 at the Deane House this evening. Wonderful food, good portions, great wine pairings, and really lovely service. Thank you making this the best Boxing Day meal ever!
