    Beautiful walls

    Now that I've been to this location twice I am confident in saying "I love it". I love the natural light from the many windows. The decor is unique and it seems that there's something new to see each time one looks up and around. The seats are comfy. The tables are sturdy. The menu is the same/similar to the bodega highlands so we found our favorites here: boar cheeks, bacon wrapped figs, piri piri chicken and the peppers stuffed with ricotta and scallions; and many many more. One or two things to consider...both times I've been, the wine list is missing quite a few in the list. We've made do with what's available but paid more than we normally would simply because of limited selection and none of our party wanting light wines. Street parking but there's lots if you're ok to walk a block or two. The service has been lovely both times we've been, attentive, authentic and informed.

    Valentines edition 2021! This place is super cool! Fairly tiny little room, super cozy with elegant lighting...basically what you would expect from a snuggly little tapa's bar. Tonight we had a set menu of either a meat or seafood platter plus some ala cart items as well..here we go The options were both 99 bucks but with that you got a bunch of food but we decided to go seafood. Started us out with crispy calamari with a kinda tzatziki drizzled over top...dynamite! They had a nice little kick of heat you usually don't see in calamari dishes. Next were the piri piri prawns which were gigantic! Don't know what kind of shrimp growth hormone these guys were on but omg were they big and equally delivered in flavour. Some delightful crispy empanita's arrived stuffed full of veggies and shrimp excellent! Next roasted brussel sprouts with a citrus sauce. Perfectly roasted and they just get nice and sweet if done properly. Ordered a seared strip loin off the ala cart side of the menu cause why not, topped with an amazing fresh chimichurri. On the money medium rare cook but with a nice crispy charred outside. The seafood kept rolling in with 4 enormous seared scallops on a bed of cucumber slaw a little light in flavour but perfectly cooked, Ramsey would approve. Finished our dinner with a lobster risotto topped with a halibut and tuna steak. Risotto was next level, creamy yet firm, lots of cheese. Tuna was a little over cooked for my taste and halibut was really salty but still good. Polished off the night with a cherry cheesecake to die for... Such a great experience front to back, our service was outstanding, great food, great wine, great Valentines Day meal. Would highly highly recommend checking this place out. Wonderful date spot for sure. Cheers Andy

    Wow this place is my new favourite! I was here a couple weeks ago just for a quick drink with a client... The cocktails were awesome! I decided to come back for dinner with a friend tonight. Tuesday was half-price wine so we had a really nice bottle of cava, only $20 it was a great deal. Decided to go with mix of tapas. The ceviche, was really nice. Spicy and very fresh and citrusy... Definitely a great dish Steamed kale was particularly great... Had a very lemony garlic brightness to it. Grilled calamari puttanesca was the top dish... a really great classic puttanesca sauce over tender calamari. The grilled octopus in an olive tapenade was the only one that was a little bit tough, which octopus can be... Also did nice cheese and Spanish jambon... The service he was really great everybody was very attentive and smiling and knew a ton of stuff about the menu... Also the decor was incredible some of the art feature walls were really amazing. Definitely come and check this place out!

    Having dined @ Bodega down town, I was excited to see what their Sweet lil' spot off 124th street had to offer. Our server was fabulously fun & knowledgable. Suggesting we try everything Octopus, so we did adding in Ceviche and several delicious sides and a bottle of bubbly ~ the Cava was perfect and a steal @ $20 (HALF PRICE BOTTLES ON TUESDAYS) Great date stop, business drink, casual drink after work, nibbles or a full spread ~ the Charcuterie board looked fantastic. We had a great time ~ servers were lovely !!! I'll be back.

    Absolutely loved my experience at Bodega. Sabor is one of my favourite restaurants and I'm so glad I can order my favourites at Bodega. I love the concept of just tapas since it allows you to try more dishes. I've been to the Highlands location as well as this and they are both consistently great. Will definitely be back with my friends as it's also great for groups.

    I really enjoy Bodega and was excited to check out the 124th Street location. We were not disappointed. My friend and I came here without a reservation on a Wednesday evening. Upon entrance, you are in the bar area where there are tables with a more casual and boisterous atmosphere. It sets the mood of good cheer. We weren't really sure if we needed to wait to be seated as no one greeted us so we just walked in and made our way to the back where the restaurant area was. Once we entered the back, a server said to go ahead and take a seat where we pleased. It took awhile before we were served but I believe that is because we weren't seated from the start. Other than that, our server was lovely and gave wonderful recommendations. We decided to order a glass of wine each and have the olives as well as the fresh bread and olive oil to start. Unfortunately, these came only minutes before our entrees so it didn't allow for us to take our time and enjoy each item. I had ordered one of the specials which was seared salmon in a tomato basil risotto. It was delicious! The salmon was seared to perfection and the flavours were wonderful. My only criticism is that the oil from the fish was a bit in excess and made the tomato risotto more on the moist side. My friend ordered the Mediterranean Sea Bass with grilled asparagus and lemon risotto. This dish was perfection. The fish was tender and tasty and the lemon risotto was fluffy and complimented the asparagus and fish. I would definitely order this in the future as it is one of their main entrees. All in all it was a good experience with a few minor kinks to work out. I look forward to coming back again and checking out the other items.

    Can't beat their amazing lunch specials. For $15 you get a soup or salad and a delicious unique meal. See their Facebook or Instagram profiles for what their daily specials are. When I took my husband there recently, he ordered their pork belly and bacon paella with roasted vegetables and it was really good! I tried their lingcod special with lobster stock risotto - the fish was cooked perfectly but I found the dish lacked any textural contrasts. It was yummy but I preferred my husband's meal more. Oh I should mention, we also ordered the Piri Piri Prawns to start. All the Bodega locations prepare their prawns consistently. Perfectly grilled and meaty with a delicious sauce. The only small complaint I have is the price point is high for just 3 prawns in my opinion. For drinks, we both opted to order a red wine sangria. I prefer my sangria's to be on the slightly sweeter side whilst theirs was more on the "wine-y" side so my husband ended up drinking both for us. Hahaha Service was just okay. I think the bartender was the one serving us as we were there at 1 pm on a Friday and there were only two other tables occupied when we arrived. Our server could've been friendlier and more welcoming but once again, just my preference. We found parking just around the block in the residential area but note the 2 hour limit.

    Seafood paella
    Cherry Z.

    We ordered pork cheek, chicken liver, calamari, and seafood paella. Pork cheek: we were amazed how much meat we got for $9. The meat was tender and flavourful. Chicken liver: the sauce was amazing but the liver was over cooked (or not fresh) Calamari: tasted exactly like those you get from cheap Japanese eat. Not so fresh and not so tasty. Seafood paella: there were lots of seafood in the paella, but it's likely they were all frozen seafood. The rice tasted like undercooked, maybe that's how rice in paella is usually done I'm not sure. But overall, I think the food quality was fair consider the price we paid.

    I really love this restaurant. When you walk in you notice the walls all decorated with everything white. It's a small, intimate place. The food is absolutely delicious. Best Spanish food in Edmonton. There is lots of vegan and vegetarian options. The fried artichokes are so simple but was one of the best dishes I've had in years. The prices are typical to other tapa restaurants and they are all meant for sharing. They also have a really nice curated wine list and a cocktail list. I have been here three times now and will definitely be back

This menu is meant for sharing. We decided to split some dishes - the tuna crudo, the meatballs with grilled foccacia, and the cauliflower. There was some hits and some misses. The hits first - tuna crudo was great with fermented mango, coconut milk and sesame crackers. Fresh and exciting. The second one I loved was the meatballs. The sauce was amazing and meatballs were full of flavour. Make sure you order the bread to soak up all the sauce.These two I would totally recomend. The two that were disappointing was the cauliflower. It comes as a whole head and the idea is that you cut it into pieces. So the sauce doesn't really penetrate the cauliflower and the sauce was okay but seemed to berry forward. The pizza was worse. Barely any toppings except an obsene amount of arugla which didn't add anything to the dish. I had three peices and there was only two measly small peices of chicken. It also lacked flavour. Skip these. Saying that I would come here again to try some other things. But save your stomach and don't order the pizza.

We were handed a brunch menu so it might be different on weekdays. My partner and I both ordered the Shakshouka mainly because it sounded so unique. I'm glad we did try that dish because it was unlike anything either of us has eaten before. It's a mix of bread, tomato sauce, eggs and other good things. Delicious! Service was friendly and prompt. We parked on the street nearby in the 2 hour zone. I don't know if they have their own parking out back. The washrooms seemed to be clean, and featured reusable washcloths instead of paper towels. Tryst definitely has guest WiFi that is password protected but I didn't try it out. If you are passing through St Albert I would definitely recommend Tryst for lunch or brunch.

For a place to enjoy wine and appy the seating is literarly a pain in the ass. The whole thing is to make a comfortable experience. It is hard to enjoy your flat bread when your ass is sore. Just get some decent chairs for crying out loud. However they insist that there is a time period for you to get in and get out. So maybe they make seating uncomfortable so you get going. That is why they loose one star. Food was lovely. Service was good. We each had a unique cocktail. This was well executed. Food was great. There wasn't a standout because everything was amazing. We ate a whole lot of things. Really loved the most simplest of dish which was the sourdough bread with whipped butter. It was lovely. The bread was chewy and had amazing texture. We also loved the ricotta gnocchi. It was pluffy and flavourful. The fish of the day was delicate and tender. Beef Carpaccio was tasty and interesting with lack of a better word waffle fries ontop. And the beef and cheese was rich. The only thing that we didn't love on the menu was the lamb flatbread. Too many pickled radish on top took away from the dish. However, I think anything you order here will make you happy. A little pricey but again it is a well saught after place. And much cheaper to other places that are in chains that won't give you the same experience. I would definately go here again. But make reservations. The place was jammed packed.

Boring AF is another way to put it. Drinks other than beer and 5oz wine start at $15, and are geared to the candy crowd. Totally turned off by repeated hard sell by the server, intrusive and annoying. Then she didn't remember who ordered what at our table of 4, did things like placing food on top of menus. Yet I should take your "recommendations" seriously? Take a hike! I chose not to eat, the upsell made me lose my appetite fast. Red flags are SO unappetizing. Others were not so lucky. Tacos (lamb/beef barbacoa) were boring and dry, served with pickled onions, jalapeños, cilantro, that's it. No salsas, not even cheap jarred stuff. Nastiest bs "churros" ever, check out the picture. Great comment made at the table, "is this cheese sauce? Maybe it's cinnamon? It's kinda watery..." Even my perpetually positive, sunny side friend commented that the food was overpriced and not very good. We not be back, total poser show.

The food was delicious, I had the tacos and tried 3 different kinds, all were good. The tuna appetizer was so delicious! The cocktails are high quality and creative but in a tasty way! This restaurant went above and beyond my expectations for an experience of this kind. They even let my friends go in early before the surprise to decorate. They were all in on it. We got to bring a cake in and cut it there as well which was so nice because the cake my husband got was such a luxurious piece of art! I enjoyed eating it. I highly recommend this place and will absolutely be back for another night out of delicious food and quality cocktails. Great location right across from the arena but good idea to make reservations. Enjoy!
