Guest Reviews
"Thank you so much for helping make our anniversary so special. You and your staff went above and beyond with every detail. We appreciated the extra touches (champagne and rose petals) as well. We loved the suite, and your location is perfect. I also think the Chef's Table has beat out Capo for my favourite restaurant in Calgary!" Thanks again, Trevor and Melanie
"This is a favourite - tiny perfect little hotel. It is a real treat to spend time at the Kensington. This wonderful boutique hotel is a hidden gem minutes from downtown Calgary."
"My girlfriend and I went on a fine dining spree visiting all of Calgary's best restaurants including The Riverside Inn. We were blown away by every aspect of The Riverside Inn experience! FINALLY I've found a restaurant in Calgary worthy of Michelin Star quality food! From plate dressing, to quality food product, to flavor combinations that actually work, the kitchen hit 5 full stars out of 5 for every, single, dish, down the the dessert! Absolutely incredible! This was the greatest dining experience that I've ever had in Canada!" - Francesco Pisicoli
"Absolutely outstanding dinner last night at Chef’s Table. Service was excellent, knowledgeable, unobtrusive.
You’ve done some amazing things to that menu. We watched the dishes come out and go to the other tables. Interesting molecular. Foams are interesting colours, it is an extremely unique menu.
My wife had rainbow trout and I had the Cornish hen. Totally not what we expected visually, or taste---both perfectly done and presented well. The foie gras appetizer from the kitchen (a gift), was nicely prepared and presented. I had the steak tartare for my first appetizer. Perfect taste (actually quite light), perfect portion size, nicely presented.
Chef made a point of meeting every dinner guest in the room, but politely waited until they had finished their main course. You’ve got a winner there, no doubt in my mind." - David R. Tetrault, La Chaine des Rotisseurs
"What a lovely Inn! Wow unexpected from my current perceptions of Calgary, this city has "grown up." What a chic, modern hotel. The food was lovely and the service unbelievable! World class!!! Congratulations."
"I've stayed at multiple hotels such as the Ritz Carlton. You are the Ritz of Calgary!"
"The restaurant is small and intimate with a clear view to the kitchen - always interesting. The service is outstanding - lots of attention and not pretentious. Most important - the food is consistently wonderful and full of delicious tastes."
"The jury is back and it's unanimous...KRI is a Michelin 3-star restaurant. Thank you for an exceptional dinner and evening at the Inn, we enjoyed ourselves and loved the food, wine and service."
"That dinner the other night was fantastic! The faciltiy was great, the staff was unbelievable, we knew the wine was great already, and the food was remarkable! It was absolutely the best meal that I had ever had..."
"The event was fantastic! I have absolutely zero feedback to give other than keep up the great work. We will definitely recommend this venue to whoever we can for any upcoming events and we too look forward to future events and working with you and your team. Please pass on our thanks and cudos to everyone involved."
