River Café is a hidden gem located on Prince's Island Park in Calgary. It's not just a meal, it's a journey. As one reviewer put it, 'The food is different enough to be special (interesting combinations of local flora and fauna), without being too unusual for 'meat and potatoes' diehards to enjoy.' The restaurant's commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and rustic, quaint ambiance makes it a must-visit destination. One customer even mentioned it's a 'Michelin star worthy' experience. So, it's definitely worth the drive!

    We had family come to town and we thought Hayden Block would be a great place to take them as they love barbecue. The ambiance in the back with the fireplace is fantastic. It was great that my 16 year old nephew was able to enjoy the spot as they allow minors until 8:00 pm. The service was fantastic and the food delicious. The brisket was very tender. All of the sides were excellent. If you are a whiskey drinker they have an incredible selection which is half off during happy hour 3:00 - 6:00 pm Monday - Friday.

    The service was wonderful. The table was perfect, and the food was great. Our only negative would be the Table sat next to us was talking on their speakerphone really loud for quite some time but that has nothing to do with the restaurant and experience we had
