If you park at the library parking this place is super close and easy to get to. Waiter was super nice, refilled water several times and apologized he was so busy. We tried the Ponche De Chicha house cocktail - 10/10 tasted like pineapple juice - a great summer cocktail. Very pricey and they added a Lot of ice. They didn't have the same Eighty Eight as on the online menu. We also got a house favorite the Brussel Sprouts - 10/10. Cooked perfectly, good portion, love that $3 is donated to the food bank, wish there was more chipotle but there was Lots of feta. Soo good - highly recommend. We also tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding. 10/10 great portion for price. Wish there was more toffee sauce as it was sooo good! Cake was moist but maybe too much salt as that got overwhelming. Ice cream was good - didn't taste too cheap. Next time I'll try the Rusty Bicycle house drink but I will definitly be back!

Wow! I was blown away by my first visit to Split Zero Proof. Split is Edmonton's first mocktail bar…read moreand have proved you can still create innovative, delicious drinks without alcohol. The space is very very tiny so if you want a spot to sit down on a Friday or Saturday evening, make sure to make a reservation. I really like the way they've managed to make the space feel cozy rather than crowded. We were seated at the window which made for some great people watching. I got to try 3 of their drinks while there and while I enjoyed them all, the Prairie Berry Patch was my favourite. It was very well balanced and smooth. However, I was very jealous of the Rosemerry Cranberry Gin Fizz that my friend had. It seemed to be the favourite of everyone we were with and I definitely be ordering one for myself next time we visit. The bartender was great at helping us pick out the right drinks to suit our moods and even offered to make something off-menu if we wanted to try something different. I was really happy to see how busy Split was and I hope the momentum doesn't slow down for them after people start wrapping up their dry January challenges. They've also held mocktail classes for the last couple months on Tuesdays which seems like a very fun night out.

The large windows let in tons of light. You would never use "dingy" to describe this place. It is fresh looking and clean. I would love to come back.

We were visiting Edmonton for the week and visited DOSC for a date night. I saw some great reviews…read moreonline and it did not let us down. This was one of those meals that you know you'll remember for a long time...in the best way. The best: - Brussel sprouts: crispy, sweet, and savory. Probably some of the best Brussels I've ever had. - ribeye with chimichurri: so good. Flavorful, tender, and the best chimichurri I've ever had. - oxtail poutine: I'm not a poutine girl but thought this was pretty good. The oxtail was so tender and with the gravy- seasoned very well. Pass: - striploin: we struggled to finish this one and had to ask for chimichurri to try and make it better. Even though it was cooked to a medium, it was not tender and we were not a fan of the peppercorn sauce. I'd skip the striploin and only go for the ribeye. The team at DOSC even curated a recommendations list for food in Edmonton. So sweet. 5 stars: beyond great service and very well seasoned food.

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.

Searching for someplace to go for a girls night out on the town? Look no further than Dolly's…read moreCocktail Bar! Slap on your sparkly dress and a pair of heels (or wear whatever the heck you want) and make your way to Downtown's pink palace! You'll remember this location as the former home of Fu's Repair Shop and Prairie Fish & Chips before that. The Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2024 list named Dolly's as Favourite Patio and the pictures that I've seen of the back terrace look completely adorable, complete with colourful lanterns. Unfortunately, my visit was in October and it wasn't quite patio weather anymore. I turned up on a Friday evening with one of my best girlfriends in tow and we were ready for the biggest Barbiecore night of our lives! Imagine our surprise when we discovered that Dolly's had been transformed into the "Black Lagoon" for the month of October in the spirit of Halloween. (I probably should have looked into this in advance but I was unaware!) I was expecting Cyndi Lauper and Aqua but instead I got Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson. The whole restaurant was draped in the most spider webs that I've ever seen. There were giant spiders hanging from the ceiling and spooky skeletons in every corner. It was a vibe, that's for sure!! But certainly not the one that I had been anticipating. Bits of pink paint and sparkly chandeliers peeked through in some areas and the neon "Dolly's" sign on the wall allowed me to imagine what the Barbie dreamhouse-esque space normally looks like just a little bit. Otherwise, Dolly's was fully transformed into the moody Black Lagoon. I should've worn fishnets instead of glitter. The servers were all very friendly and we were quickly seated at a comfortable table along the hot pink velour banquette. Dolly's invites you to sip, snack, and stay in their minor-free glamorous escape. The house cocktails and mocktails are a major part of the experience (it is a cocktail bar after all) and I was excited to get a cute pink beverage into my hand! There was also a menu of Black Lagoon-themed cocktails that were all served in fun tiki-style vessels. This menu included themed foods as well. I personally had my eye on the Pink Palace Royale cocktail which I saw on the menu online. Made with a special collab gin with Strathcona Spirits and Licor 43 (one of my favourite liqueurs), this sounded like everything that I wanted in a cocktail and more! Other drinks had names like Dolly's Dreamhouse, Bubbilicious, and the house shot was called the Bend & Snap - exactly the sort of drinks that I had come for! However, I was sorely disappointed when the server told me that the drink I wanted was no longer on the menu. It seemed that I could only order a Halloween beverage. I fumbled to find anything that Elle Woods would approve of and settled on a mocktail called Pretty in Pink (Strawberry, cream of coconut, lime, soda, mint - $9.00) and the server suggested that the bar could add vanilla vodka to turn it into a proper cocktail. I agreed. Honestly, I was just relieved to get something pink onto the table! I enjoyed this icy-fresh cocktail a lot and it delivered most of what I had been hoping for. The sweetness of the strawberry and coconut was really fun! The lime and mint added a mojito flair. A very cute and well-composed beverage but I was sad that most of the girly drinks didn't seem to be available. When it comes to eats at Dolly's the food is what you would expect to see at a party, with the idea of sharing at the heart. I loved the idea of Dolly's Funhouse (which is an epic plate of nachos), and dishes like wings, tacos, and mac & cheese. However, the dish to order at Dolly's has gotta be the Girl Dinner (Truffle tots, chickie tendies, aji verde, aji rocoto, pineapple sweet & sour, Dolly's salad - $50.00 for two). It's a must-share so grab your girlies and prepare to chow down! They had me at tots. The Girl Dinner platter arrived looking extremely appetizing and somehow exactly what I wanted to be eating in a place that looked like this. The portion was exactly right for two people and I loved the pretty floral printed plates that we were given to dish our tots and tendies onto. As previously mentioned, I enjoy a tot. (I have a suspicion that Napoleon Dynamite really imprinted on me.) But truffle tots? Now that's just a home run! Topped with sea salt, truffle oil, and parmesan cheese, these golden potato nuggets were fried to perfection with a crispy outside and a soft and fluffy inside. I could have eaten them all. They were awesome to dunk into each of the sauces and when the rest of the food was gone we were still popping tots into our mouths. We couldn't even finish them all because the portion was so generous! The star of the meal were the chickie tendies; two giant chicken tenders, of which we each got our own. I loved this chicken! The batter was really flavourful and unique, and oh so crispy-crunchy. The chicken within was very tender and juicy, proving that an elevated chicke

There was a lady on stage playing some solo acoustic music, her catalog of songs was all over the map and she added a ton to the early evening ambiance. Our waitress Amy was fantastic. We had appies and drinks... the food we had was standard pub fare, but I was happy to see they support local and had Endeavour beer as an option (no taps, just bottles and cans here). Heather had a couple of White Claws. Prices were more than reasonable and it was just a fun way to start the evening. I don't see this place scoring points with the pretentious crowd in St Albert, but folks that love live music and dive bars will like it just fine! HUGE bonus points for them having the old Bruin Inn sign on the walls. That's some nostalgia right there!
