    staff: hostess was friendly. Waitress was friendly and helpful and had a good sense of humor. service: we were a large group with a reservation. Drink Orders were taken promptly. Food orders were taken pretty quickly once everyone arrived. Food: came out quickly. Had nice presentation - looked fresh. Great portions - our tables shared a few dishes. Great Mediterranean flavours. It wasn't the best I've had in town but they did pretty well. Their tiramisu was different. establishment: nice vibe, plays music. Has large tables to accommodate a table of 12. Plenty of parking out front or around the building.

    Kabob board. Great to share with 2 ppl. Recommend

    Went with some GFs for dinner and we loved this place. The decor is very inviting with comfortable seating. All the food we had I would recommend!! They have happy hour till 6 on Wednesdays so take that in to consideration. Braised short rib: delicious! The pepper sauce isn't too peppery, rib is huge (my GF had to take some home) Kabob Board to share (2 ppl): delicious! The lamb was my favourite but the steak & chicken were also very good. Only critique I have is u get a small amt of potatoes and one bundle of asparagus w 3 stalks. Because most ppl would share this I would have liked a second helping of asparagus and a few more baby potatoes. That being said, highly recommend Shrimp appetizer: yummy! U get 4 which is nice. The shrimp are not huge but not on the small size either. Halloumi cheese: this was tasty but I have had better Tiramisu for dessert: if u like T then get this. It was delicious! Service was outstanding. Note they have a lot of construction so best to get to the parking from the north side of West Block

    Zula is a sister restaurant of Sofra, a Turkish spot we quite enjoy in downtown. The ambiance of Zula is quite lovely- it feels elevated and classy; dimly lit with music and social chatter surrounding you. It was a good vibe. 2 hour parking is available downstairs for free; we ended up staying a half hour longer and it cost $2. This is not the kind of place you'd go for quick service meals- it is a sit and savour type of dining experience. We were there with friends for my husband's birthday- we had 2 appetizers, and an entree each. If you are the type of person who is impatient if it takes your food time to come out, be forewarned. I wouldn't call it slow, but you certainly have time to enjoy a glass of wine or two before each course- which was fine by us as we were there to socialize. The food was fresh and flavourful, and the presentation was beautiful. I recommend the zucchini cakes, and the chicken kababs, but I will say I found the food to be much saltier than fare elsewhere. Overall I'd prefer to go to Sofra, but I'm glad I gave this place a try!

    Being fans of Sofra, we heard that this restaurant was affiliated with them, so we decided to check it out. One bonus was that there was free 2 hour underground parking for all West Block customers. Inside is smaller than I imagined, but quite intimate and trendy. Everyone fashionably dressed up and light music playing. Some of the tables seem very close together, but that was just my opinion. Our server was pleasant, however we ordered a bottle of wine and a mocktail, but they were out of the wine and some ingredients for the mocktail so we had to make game time decisions to alternate drinks. The server did, however, add an extra zucchini cake to our order so everyone in our party got one. I ordered the lamb rack, and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned, i must say. The zucchini cakes were also very fresh and crispy. My wife ordered the chicken kebob and said it was on the salty side. All in all , it was a great double date, and I would say people should check it out.

    I've been here a couple times, every time I've been here, everything was amazing!!!…read moreFood is great, they serve wonderful snack type options,as well as a couple dessert items. I have heard the Tiramisu is excellent, but I have never tried it. They have a good selection of cocktails to try, as well as a great wine list!! Our server was fantastic, very attentive and very helpful in helping us choose our drinks!! It's a very small but cozy bar, with interesting music in the background. It fills up quickly in the evenings and I have seen the line ups for eager patrons waiting to come in!! I recommend Bar Henry for anyone wanting a unique cocktail and a snack, it's wonderful!! Highly recommended after an event on the ice district!!

We ordered some food to share, Millie Panino + Whipped Ricotta and House chips. 10/10 would recommend the Millie Panino to anyone, it was fantastic! The Whipped Ricotta was also delicious but hers and my favorite was the panino. The servers were very friendly and polite and made it a pleasant experience. It is not a full dish restaurant so if you are expecting a Joey experience, this is not the place. While we were there, a party of 6+ showed up and sat down expecting that and ended up leaving. I would recommend this place if you are looking for something a little more intimate.

    Really great and hidden place…read more You won't beat the ambiance. it is amazing. Beautiful booths to sit in. Casual and private. Fantastic. Server was great. She came often to check on us and make suggestions for wine and food pairings. Food was fantastic. We ordered the shrimp which came in a delicous sauce and the mussels as well as the meat and cheese board. It filled up four of us nicely. Definately the highlight to the food was shrimp. But everything was tasty and good for sharing. We weren't pressured to leave and that was nice. Wine selection was excellent. And so many things you can try. My only complaint is you have to book email only. I tried booking this in may and no one responded to my emails. Also one time we walked in and tried to see if they had room but they weren't prepared. Please go on open table or something. Or consider people phoning in. Despite the nuscence of booking a great way to spend an evening.

    Very misleading hours posted we showed up there at 9:41 and were told that they were closing soon…read moreand that they shut their kitchen down at 9:45pm & that they had already done last call for food for the night. They were still willing to serve us food to go though when my friend initially asked for menus they said to go? . Super disappointing we drove a half an hour to make it on time and rushed and everything thinking that an hour and 20 minutes before it closes is more than enough time for a quick Dinner service for two people and obviously we're not a-holes so when the entire staff is ready to just shutter early and leave, we're not gonna be the two people that insist that they stay open. The guy working there was really nice to my friend apparently though. So nothing against the staff personally or anything. Oh, and the gazebo is getting wild. There's some guy out there screaming about cutting some girl named Kristen's head off so if there's any violent crimes tonight, we're audible witnesses lol

The interior is beautiful exposed brick, warm grey chairs and banquets. Very comfortable and chic. The hostess and wait staff are friendly and extremely helpful with suggestions. For brunch I had the short rib benedict, atomic blond cocktail, and coffee. All were very good. For dinner I had the focaccia with whipped ricotta, a sazerac, the gnoochi, and an affogato for dessert. The whipped ricotta was the suggested appetizer by my server and of my goodness I could have crawled right into it--absolutely get that! If I went back to Edmonton for a visit I was definitely go back.

We tried to arrive a bit earlier to keep…read morethe baby more comfortable, but due to the timing, the music was quite loud, and the baby was very uncomfortable. That said, the food was outstanding, as always. We've been here many times, and our favorites never disappoint. This time, we had beef bites, bore cheeks, bacon-wrapped dates, lamb chops, oysters, and seared scallops. We also enjoyed a delicious dessert. Despite the baby's fuss, the warm atmosphere and attentive service made the evening special. Next time, we'll aim for an earlier booking to avoid the noise. We'll definitely be back!

Most people in the city are familiar with Sabor, Edmonton's legendary Spanish and Portuguese restaurant. But have you ever wished that there was a more casual, more low-key version of Sabor? Maybe with multiple conveniently located spots around town? Well you're in luck because that's exactly what Bodega is! You'll find Bodega's flagship restaurant in the lower street level part of Sabor itself, however there are now five other locations. It's almost a guarantee that there is a Bodega near you, no matter where you are. People have loved this place for years. Voted as #1 Best Tapas 2018, #1 Best Spanish 2018, and #1 Best Wine Bar 2018 in VUE Weekly. CBC Edmonton's Best Restaurants 2019 listed them as Best of Downtown. And you'll find them as a Favourite Communal (Sharing) spot on the Edmonton Food Faves We Crave 2022 list. It turns out that the people of Edmonton love a laid-back tapas moment and getting some sangria into the mix doesn't hurt either. I was excited to visit Bodega's original location in the heart of Downtown on a Saturday evening and to finally experience their flavours. The first thing to note about the OG Bodega restaurant is that they don't take reservations, however all of the other ones do. As previously mentioned, you will find the flagship location right inside of Sabor. Parking can sometimes be tricky in this area and that's the only downside. If you've been to Sabor before you already know how impressive the space is. The huge building is one of those places that doesn't need to pretend to be old because it actually is. Instead of heading up the stairs into Sabor's dining space, Bodega is found to the left of the entrance in the lower street-facing area. It's actually a wonderful use of space which otherwise might not have served much of a purpose. Less dressed up and grand than Sabor (but still bearing a similar decor), Bodega harnesses the Spanish modern-day watering hole vibe by featuring a simple but beautiful bar area and bistro-style al fresco dining in the warmer months. The dining space is small and because there are no reservations taken it might be necessary to prepare for a wait. When my group arrived it took about 15 minutes to be seated which seemed entirely reasonable. We were pleased to be situated at a beautiful little table outdoors, in the warm summer breeze. Unfortunately, there were a lot of bugs flying around that kept landing on our table and we had to ask to be moved to one of the more interior tables. Thankfully the staff was able to accommodate this! We really didn't want the bugs to land in our food. The servers who visited our table were all extraordinarily friendly and gracious. Of course there were going to be drinks! The wine list is plentiful and extensive. However, I was more drawn to the interesting Iberico gin & tonics, caipirinhas, sangria, and the signature cocktails. These are the types of drinks that I picture myself holding on a patio in the summer. From the cocktail list, the De Puta Madre (Mezcal, dry Sherry, pineapple, lemon, orgeat, cocoa powder - $16) sounded like the most special one to me. Out of curiosity, I put the name of this drink into a Spanish to English translator and had a pretty good laugh when I learned that it means Fucking Awesome. Well. Sounds like I made the correct beverage choice! And I really did enjoy sipping on this perfectly crafted cocktail. I was slightly worried that the mezcal would be very strong and boozy, but the balance of the ingredients was lovely. I felt that I was able to taste and appreciate the flavour of the mezcal without it being too overpowering. The fruity and sweet flavours from the pineapple, lemon, and almond syrup made the drink fun, but again it wasn't too sweet either. I loved this cocktail and it paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. The food menu is packed full of options and every single thing sounds enticing. The good news is that the plates are small and part of the experience is to order a lot of them. There's a whole long list of tapas, but also breads, spreads, charcutaria, and cheese if you are in the mood to create an exciting board (I always am!). There are also some larger plates if you are truly looking for one big meal of food. On this visit I was aiming to remain in the tapas realm since that is what this restaurant is actually all about. As such, we proceeded to barrage our server with a long list of items, eager to sample as many dishes as reasonably possible. We were asked if we would prefer to have every dish all at once, but opted for a slow and staggered method. No need to hurry though! It wasn't long before our parade of plates began to arrive. First was the Brushchetta (Grape tomato and fromage blanc - $14.00). I wouldn't have chosen this dish on my own accord but I saw it pass by on its way to a different table and it caught my eye. The tomatoes looked
