I am not big of pizza however, I'd say it was probably the best pizza I've had. My favourite was the sausage and mushroom as well as the fall harvest. I love how the pizza is not greasy or heavy. There is lots of flavour and the toppings are pretty generous. The pizza is about the size of a dinner plate give or take and serves about 2-3 people depending how hungry you are. Pizza ranges from $20-28. I cut through the restaurant to use the bathroom and noticed that it was packed on a Friday night. It looked nice and had a bit of an upscale vibe. Parking can be a bit tricky as it's Whyte Ave. I'd definitely come back for the pizza.

They changed thier menu to fall coziness so we tried a few different things. We had the Chou Farcie which is France's version of a cabbage roll- Savoy cabbage stuffed w/ braised pork & beef, sautéed vegetables & served with tomato sauce. We also had the Coq au Vin -two braised drumsticks, red wine, smoked bacon, shallots, and mushrooms. We had the savoury cake sale and the flavour was vegetable. Finally to round off the meal we had pommes duchesse w/horseradish, chive aïoli, and truffle oil. We also tried some seasonal cocktails. Service was friendly and professional. Food came out in timely manner. The ambiance was cozy and a great place to chat. Food was amazing as usual. Favourite was the devilled eggs but I really appreciated the chou farcie. The flavour was delicous and my hubby appreciated that it was mostly meat. You really can't go wrong here! Just order whatever you are feeling like and you won't be disappointed.

I came to birdog to have a fun lunch with my cousin since we were both craving Italian food. I did…read morea bit of research to find an Italian restaurant opened for lunch in the. It's and landed on birdog because the lobster ravioli sounded great and the bison carpaccio peaked my interest. It looked to be a Canadian spin on Italian classics which melted my heart. I'm impressed by the level of service Francisco who was wearing every hat that afternoon showed us. He created us very warmly and seated us and quickly gave us ice cold water since outside was scorching hot. I saw on a menu posted on yelp that there was a pornstar martini that is no longer on the menu, but I asked Francisco his opinion on what drink I should order. He recommended the tulum rider which turned out to be very good but I really did have my heard set on the one I saw online from a past menu. He still offered to make it for us and did an excellent job!! That was the best anything I've ever put in my mouth. Put that back on the menu!!!!!!! The food was incredible. I definitely will be ordering the Margherita pizza the next time I'm there and the bison carpaccio. The ambiance was definitely giving luxury and I can't wait to show this place off to my friends when they're visiting in the city

Amazing ambience. Classy and hip. Amazing pizzas and salads. Great service for a very busy place…read more Delicious cocktails. I have been a fan of this place for a long time. There are so many places to eat in edmontons downtown core. But this is always one of my fave sort of chill fun places to have a nice chat with friends. The atmosphere is great with plenty of TV to watch the games or sporting events if you cant watch it live in the arena. The have cool events like a piano duets or live dj spinning old school beats on weekends. Food wise... the salads are top notch. I actually hate ordering salads at restaurants but this place probably does it the best. The ceaser salad or the pear salad are pretty phenomenal. You honestly cant go wrong. My mouth is salivating thinking of how delicious they are. The pizzas are great too. I love the truffle mushroom pizza, the honey glaze is pretty stellar. All the other pizzas are great too. Perfect amount of sauce to topping ratio. I was just in italy and honestly the pizzas taste exactly the same. Supposedly they import all their toppings from italy. So that totally makes sense. I have had lots of other dishes and I love the specialty dishes too. They are so unique. Done nicely. A bit pricey but you pay for good food and quality. The portions are always big enough to satisfy me so I do not mind paying the prices here for an upscale meal. It is always a place I love to go to for happy hour or pre or post Oilers game because they have quick service that always gets me in and out in a hurry. But they also let me linger if I feel like chilling out. I honestly love the music so much here too!

I found the menu was a little limited if you were not in a steak mood. So yes shrimp on pasta was the meal even though I generally dont order pasta in restaurants. Apart from no chicken there was lots of little mistakes. I ordered a gin and tonic with light gin. But it did not come with the light gin just the others. And they did not seem to know who's food was this. Which lead to problems as when they came out with the shrimp on pasta dishes, I had forgotten thats what I ordered. But we were a large group so some amount of confusion is understandable. And there was still lots of good. They had a hugh selection of gins and tonics. I love that. Had two great ones of the dozens they had on the menu. The apitizers were great. Roasted beans, flat bread with a cheese topping and a third thing that disappeared fast. Everyone seemed to enjoy the meal, and we had 2 different people that had some struct dietary restrictions and they handled that well. So yes no one died thats a plus. All in all a great night

We came here for a birthday celebration with a group of 6. It was all our first time here and had a wonderful dinner! The atmosphere and food here is so inviting! The service was excellent, delicious food, great music, and ambience is nice for a group celebration or a quiet date. The maple walnut salad is the best, so tasty! The chicken Parmesan comes on a bed of pasta, and half soup or salad and was a nice portion! Pizza had a good portion of toppings with a thin crust. The chicken pesto fettuccine was a healthy serving with a big piece of garlic bread. Everything was yummy and we've been back several times already! They have daily specials on drinks and food. Excellent restaurant to try out any day of the week!

The servers were attentive, and answered our questions, and the food came out looking and tasting delicious. The maple walnut salad is delicious!
