I had arranged with Holly, the manager to host my boyfriend’s birthday party here for 19 people. I cannot say enough good things about this place! Holly was extremely quick to respond to my Emails and arrangements. The wait staff were incredible! Fast, friendly, efficient. The food is SOOOO GOOD! Everyone enjoyed their food. The portions look small, but it’s REALLY FILLING!!!! And worth every dollar. By far my favourite restaurant to date. Others at the table said XIX nineteen is in their top 5 favourite restaurants. Huge shout out to their kitchen staff for making delicious food and having it ready so quickly for our group. And shout out to the serving staff for being so kind, and efficient. They had made the birthday surprise a dream, and went so smoothly. Highly recommend this restaurant! Thanks again Holly and team, you made tonight a dream!!!! I appreciate you!Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu. The kid in our group ordered veggies, French fries and the burger sliders. By far the best sliders I have eaten to date!
We have had this place on our list of restaurants to eat at for quite sometime but just never managed to make it there.I have to say, first the greetings from the staff upon arrival were more than your normal restaurant average. Arriving and leaving, every server and hostess acknowledged you with a warm smile and a hello or have a great evening.We had two appetizers, bang bang prawns and the ahi tuna taki, you will not be disappointed. The prawns were of nice size and the tomato, basil topping was a perfect match. The tuna presentation was fantastic, individually wrapped on forks, the slightly spicy noodles with melt in your mouth tuna was fantastic. Glad we ordered this one on a whim.All while waiting for this, they had a lavender gin and hibiscus drink on special. We had several, so good. The cocktails are balanced extremely well here.Forains we had the bison strip loin and tenderloin. For the bison, the avocado sale verde risotto.... Wow. And the bison was fantastic, but I almost feel the fennel sausage stole the show from it as it was unbelievably good.The tenderloin, all we can both say is, (coming from predominantly steak eaters) , this was the heat steak we have had in Edmonton. It melted in your mouth, the goat cheese crust added an incredible depth of flavour and the accompaniment was presented beautifully and full of flavour!Price wise, other than maybe a bit high on the appetizers l, I would say it's on point considering what you get from other places.Highly recommend a visit here, I know we will be going back!

We chose this venue for a business dinner and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious! The chef will also make a vegan entree by request which is lovely! Great wine pairings as well. Highly recommend.

Very expensive restaurant.. be prepared to spend money here . The food is good , but definitely not worth what you pay for. Small piece of Sable fish for $52? Small rack of lamb for $56? $16 cocktails? For the price, I would definitely recommend going somewhere else . I will not return. Our server was very friendly but really knew nothing about the menu and what he was serving. If I’m paying $500 for a dinner for 4 , would be nice to have a server that knew what was going on with the menu
We’ve eaten in restaurant before and enjoy the atmosphere and food (though it’s pricey for amount you get) and thought we’d get take out salads. Good salad (we both had harvest). Was shocked it was $30 (they don’t post prices online of course ?). Was it worth that? No. Not sure why they price themselves out of business but it’s impossible to justify this as a $30 salad.

I went here with my girlfriend to try and have a nice special night out together and this place did not disappoint. The food was absolutely fantastic. Everything was cooked to perfection and seriously exceeded expectations. We were almost left speechless at how great it tasted.Our waiter was friendly, passionate and genuinely seemed like he cared about our experience. He gave recommendations/comparisons when asked and did not hesitate for a second. He clearly knew the menu inside and out.Our only complaint, and it’s very minimal, was that we found it a tad loud. Nothing outrageous, but when it’s busy you need to be talking a little louder than normal.Easy 5 stars here.

The waitress in the bar was very friendly, patient and understanding. While I initially didn't mean to eat here as another place was packed, I had a wonderful experience in the lounge. The food was very fresh and my glass was never empty.For the chicken sandwich I recommend a sharper knife as it's an open sandwich with a good helping of chicken breast. I'm glad to have left full and now I know what I like here!
