Great place. Best restaurant I have been to in years! Our Waitress-Trina was wonderful, providing service above and beyond; and the food was great. The Restaurant was quiet enough that we were able to visit without having to shout. Fun was had by all.

Great spot for brunch. Friendly service and great casual relaxing atmosphere. Industrial meets woodsy green kinda vibe. Dress comfy or in your best Sunday clothes, it fits all occasions. We had the chorizo scramble hash and the creme brule french toast. Huge flavourful portions, which definitely met our expectations.

The evening started promisingly when a friend brought us to her favorite restaurant for a special dinner. However, the meal quickly took a disappointing turn. The food quality was subpar - the duck breast was tiny, the potato was dry and burnt, and the sausage was ice cold. I only took one photo, as the server brought a replacement dish for the sausage, but the taste was still poor. My friend's husband even found a piece of plastic in his pork chop. My own risotto was the consistency of runny porridge. While the server was friendly, we felt the late hour had shifted the staff's focus elsewhere. My friend had to flag down the server to order wine, and the entrees were not checked on promptly, leading to the delay in replacing the unsatisfactory dishes. Even our cocktails were flawed, as they were served warm and we had to request ice. Although the restaurant did discount the bill in an attempt to make amends, we were quite surprised by the lack of attention to detail and overall poor quality, given this was meant to be a high-end establishment. Our friend was clearly embarrassed, as she had previously raved about how wonderful the restaurant was. In the end, the meal was a letdown, and we have no plans to return.

Bring big appetite! I usually don't have any left overs but here, I couldn't finish my meal and had to box it lol it's a bit pricy for brunch, but looking at the portion size..... it's actually not pricy at all! Staff are really friendly and nice, atmosphere is good.

Highly recommend this place!! Food was exceptional and the service was great too. Our server Jill was amazing! We wanted to try a bunch of food and she came around bringing us clean plates for each dish and wiping the table in between dishes. Considering the amazing quality and taste of the food and great portion sizes, the price really wasn't bad. They also have a great selection of drinks and pictures of the cocktails in their menu make picking one easy.

I had high hopes for The Workshop Eatery as we celebrated a birthday party here recently, but unfortunately, it was a lackluster experience. Our group consisted of 20 people spread across two tables, but shockingly, there was only one server attending to us. This resulted in excruciating wait times of about 45 minutes to an hour for our main courses, leaving several of us quite hungry even after appetizers, which in almost all cases should have been enough to hold us over. When our meals finally arrived, they were cold, including the featured dishes that came highly recommended by the server. The quality and temperature of the food were far from acceptable, adding to our dissatisfaction. After the event, I reached out to management to express our bad experience about the poor service and unpalatable meals. However, I received no response from them, which was incredibly disappointing. I was assured of a callback, which never happened. A week later, I followed up again, hoping for at least an acknowledgment or an apology, and yet again, I was left without a response. All I requested was a fair resolution for my meal plus one, not the entire group s - which could have been a partial refund or an invitation to return with the promise of a better experience. Sadly, I received neither. I was completely surprised at the lack of professionalism and tastiness this establishment gets praised on. It s disheartening when an establishment fails to follow through on their service promises, especially when a birthday celebration is involved. I sincerely hope they improve their customer service and dining experience, but until then, I cannot recommend The Workshop Eatery and will NOT return again.

Some friends and I stumbled upon The Workshop Eatery a few months ago and had an outstanding experience. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I ve since introduced the restaurant to family members and make a visit every time I m in Edmonton. Today, my son and I came and I had a tiny challenge. Carolyn (I believe was the name of the lovely lady that was helping with our table) took charge and immediately corrected the challenge and went above and beyond. What could ve been an ok experience was made outstanding again by Carolyn. THANK YOU, ladies. I will DEFINITELY be back! Dietary restrictions: Excellent care and detail paid to my celiac allergy. Thank you!

We were celebrating my friends birthday, a special evening. However, after finding the remote restaurant she ordered the short ribs and I had toe lamb. We were both disappointed. Her ribs were a small portion, fatty and rare. Most of it inedible. Her meal came tepid and had to send it back where they microwaved it to heat it up again. No vegetables, just a large serving of mashed potatoes. My meal, lamb shank was good enough, however the out side was quite hard , like over-sauteed meat on a lot of quinoa, no vegetable. We were both disappointed cause it was supposed to be so good. Oh well, there are lots of other great restaurants.

Almost 2 hours for food but the food was ok. If you are looking at reviews and think it looks good then dont lets this review dissuade you, you will probably love it. If like me you were hesitant youll find the food a little overworked. My steak was cooked perfectly but the pan sauce masked its flavor. Only two beers on tap but the beers they chose were good ones. I dont think I would come again. The food wasnt to my taste but was clearly made and seleced with care.

The absolute best sandwich I have ever had, I had the short rib sandwich and it was beyond delicious! As was the fried chicken sandwich and the soup of the day which was a lamb stew, was spectacular. Update to review: came here again, brought my sister from out of town and the burger ws delicious! However I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was burnt. Due to famine around the world i dont like to throw away food and the sandwich was edible so didnt complain to the waitress, but was very disappointed that they put a piece of burnt fried chicken in my sandwich.

This restaurant used to good, but it s gone downhill big time. It took 45 mins for our food to come out. Our server was rude and just RBF the whole time. Our meals were overly salty.

The service you get in this place is exceptional, the server who helped us was friendly and made us feel like we are talking to a friend, what I took issue with was the food, it was not terrible, but for the price and the wait time, I expected a lot more than what I saw, the sandwich bread was toasted but it was dripping with oil, the sauce in the salad was kind of watery and the hamburger patty was bland, needed a lot more seasoning, same as the chips. On the plus side, I did enjoy the coffee and the dessert. All in all, I don t think I will go back, but thumbs up for the service and great atmosphere

Maybe my expectations were too high or we came for the wrong meal and dinner is better but I was disappointed with the brunch food here. It was subpar to say the least. The sausage was undercooked and pink, everything was so buttery and oily it was hard to eat and had me feeling gross afterwards. The only redeeming parts were the hash and the raspberry vanilla jam, and our server was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately it seems overrated and there are much much better places for brunch at much better prices.

Not a great experience. Waited over an hour for brunch that was overcooked and dry. Didn t get part of our order but the server didn t come to check on us until everyone had eaten. I totally understand it s busy and that a reasonable wait or limited service is expected but our brunch was not a pleasant one.

Local Guide
June 22, 2024

Terrible experience. We waited over 10min to have a server come by and we ordered food and drinks. It was another 15-20min before drinks came to table, so almost 30min to get drinks. We arrived at 1pm ordered at 1:10ish and didnt get food until 2:15, over an hour to be served food. Staff were nice but extremely inattentive, we got drinks and then didnt see our server again until about 10min after we finally got food. Food items were missed but we were almost done eating so cancelled them, no ketchup on table and no server checking on us so we could request it. No water refills and werent asked if we wanted more drinks. The food was ok at best, marginally better than a low end diner, at least at a diner youd be eating in 10-15min. We had brunch, potatoes were under cooked, the pancake was a weird omelette hybrid which wasnt noted on the menu, and the huevos benny were very bland. Definitely will not be back and would not recommend as the food wasnt nearly good enough to be worth the wait time or terrible service.

★★★★★
June 22, 2024

Best restaurant in the area. Phenomenal local food, top notch quality ingredients, good service, and large portions. We ve been at The Workshop 4 times now and each time the food blew us away. A small seasonal menu that changes with what s in season is nice. Last visit we had the charcuterie board and roast beef, best charcuterie board I ve ever had and the beef was juicy and tender. 100% would recommend to anyone who is looking for a high quality farm-to-table meal in south Edmonton.

This place honestly looks amazing and the place is beautiful, the food so fresh and perfectly served. However I consider a dining experience as a whole with service , which was very poor; I was celebrating my birthday on Saturday for brunch with my friends, found this place on Google, the pictures and the food looked amazing, I called and attempted a reservation which the hostess told me is not needed and we can do a walk in; my friend is an amazing baker and makes beautiful homemade bakery level decorated cakes and it s her gesture of love for her loved ones on our birthday; so I called and checked if they could keep the cake for us in the refrigerator while we enjoy our food and while they mentioned there will be a cutting fee 3$ per person if they cut and distribute it for us, they won t charge us for keeping it in the refrigerator; low and behold we go there , the place looks so amazing, we take a lot of pictures while we wait 15 minutes for a table which was quite different from the discussion on the phone; and we hand the cake in to be put in the refrigerator; and they change their statement regarding the cake that if you do not agree to pay the cutting fee regardless of whether or not we cut the cake for you, we will not keep it for you in the refrigerator; I had to agree because after the drive and our wait time, the cake cream was melting. They sat us at a table not so good, and literally just gave us menues and left, came back just gave us waters , no introductions no drink orders. All good don t want to ruin good vibes of my birthday, we have to call after a very long wait for our orders to be taken and even after that, still no any drinks? Our waitress left in a hurry; our food came out we had to ask for ketchup, salt and pepper to be brought to our table while the tables next to us got theirs even before their food came out on a clean plate; even after asking for it she literally threw it on the table and left; we felt pretty disappointed but since we were so hungry we just ate. After our food was done they took It and I told them I was ready for the cake; I had already put candles on the cake before handing out to them; they just threw the cake on the table and left; apparently this place is very famous for birthdays so they sang to two other tables before we got our food so that s what we were expecting; and then I heard a happy birthday song, and I was like wow their singing for me until they get to the name , low and behold it s someone else s name , they pass our table to the person behind us to give them a dessert with a candle on it; at that point my friend was coming out of the washroom and both her and my sister s expression was so noticeable; like that was the frustration and anger pouring over the top; we felt humiliated, offended and ignored; and that was just it for us to call the manager; we told her about how we were treated and she was like who was your waitress, we were like we don t even know her name, she didn t even introduce herself to us, we had to point her out and she was like yeah , Amanda; I don t know why they treated us like that, my friend was wearing a scarf and all the people at other tables were white, so we told her that she got pretty mad at the fact we were accusing them of racism but simply there was no explanation of why they would treat u differently; or maybe they just saw us coming in with a big cake and thought oh we can t sell them dessert or something; manager told us birthday songs are sang upon request, but I mean when I called ahead saying we are having a birthday, coming in with a big cake, and having the candles on top, I mean that is pretty obvious for a birthday song to be sang to us. Usually at all restaurants not just high end ones they ask, is there any special occasions? Nothing. The manager apologised a couple of times but nothing from the two waiters. She handles the situation professionally and took care of our bill which we insisted to pay, but I guess was for the best; I would go back for the food and the atmosphere; I hope they don t disappoint

February 14, 2024 Update: We came for their Valentines Day evening and even cancelled another reservation downtown at an exclusive restaurant to see what this Workshop could offer up. We were very disappointed. We were put at a remote table in the hallway of the building outside of the establishment itself because they were so busy. It was dark and we completely missed out on the inside vibe. The atmosphere score drops form 5 to 3. Our service was good. She was busy and it seemed that sometimes we were an afterthought. Service score drops from 5 to 4. The food was alright. I think the chef was trying out some things maybe outside of their comfort zone. It didnt come across with any zeal though we could see the attempted creativity. Food score drops from 5 to 3. We left without any fanfare at the end of the evening. We were literally seated within proximity to the external doors to the entire office building itself. So...there was really no vibe to leave. Overall score dropped from 5 to 3. 3 x ********************** The Workshop Eatery is a stunning establishment way down south in Edmonton offering farm to table fair. The creations are inventive and delivered with a beautiful presentation. The flavors are rich and vibrant. The service really stood out for us. Cherisse, our server, was so helpful and positive. And a shoutout also to Alyssa who brought so much joy to the space as the hostess. They really made our experience so amazing! The space itself is stunning. Its an open kitchen space and there is natural light everywhere. There is also a patio for warmer days. Cant say enough. Love this place and its also great that they exist in a neighborhood that doesnt have a lot of higher end restaurants. 5 x

We made a reservation for birthday brunch. When we came, the place wasnt very busy, so we ordered food right away. After 35 minutes, we got ketchup and jam. After the next 10 minutes, food arrived. Food is pretty pricey but good, service not so good. The soup was spilled on the plate and the bowl didnt look very pleasant , The waitress needs some basic training : she did not serve each person by going around, instead she made us to serve each other. The same was with cleaning the table : she was waiting for us to hand her our plates ! I have never had this kind of service anywhere . Very disappointing. Not coming back for sure.

I was looking forward to dining at Workshop Eatery. We live in Summerside since 2015 and I drive by this place on daily basis. I thought a brunch for my sons 13th birthday was a great occasion to check out this place. Internet pictures look way nicer than in real life. Was expecting a bigger selection for a brunch menu, I was actually looking forward to ordering a steak for lunch but unfortunately didnt realize the dinner menu was being served only from 5pm, not anytime after breakfast like most of the places do. We had a reservation for 11:30 a.m. I think it is pointless to do a reservation option since the lady up front did not even verify on their little ipads for whom the reservation was - she simply asked for how many, I said we have reservation for 4, and she just walked us to first available table without asking if we would like to sit by the window, booth etc; I dont really understand the point of pre-visit questions while doing reservation - specifically the reason of the visit: birthday, anniversary, other. - every restaurant Ive done the reservation at, upon arrival it was verified, I was asked where we would like to sit and I was double checked on the reason of the visit - on birthday occasions, the waitress at least said happy Birthday, some places offered free desert for a birthday person, some offered free drinks... I did not expect to get anything free for this occasion but saying Happy Birthday to my son would be nice. I must say, water was brought to our table right away, order was taken quickly as well, but the wait... come on, wait 35 minute for a sandwiches order ??? I hate to see the wait time for actual dinner, late supper. It seemed like too many waitresses not enough cooks. Some people that got to restaurant after us, and placed the order after us, got their food before us. It was not even that busy but the wait time was terrible not only for us - Ive noticed the family of 4 with two small kids waiting long time for their food as well.... poor kids, instead of be given the coloring paper from a waitress right away they were given it literally a minute before their food arrived. When choosing this restaurant I did a quick research and Ive noticed that the cook did his learnings in Europe. Me being from Europe, I thought cool, perhaps some European experience in Canada. I was very surprised when after meal was over, when the waitress came to clean up and instead of going around the table to collect the plates, she was reaching over and asking us just to pass it to her - I know it is easy this way for waitresses, but there was not much to clean up and I believe it would be much appropriate if waitress went around to grab the empty plate instead of waiting for plates to be passed to her. The only thing that was good was a food, I mean it tasted good. I was going to give 3 stars but unfortunately my son, the birthday boy ended up going in a washroom 3 times in span of an hour. I am not coming back. .p.s. please work on your waitresses manners.

A LOT better than going to your run of the mill breakfast joint. Better than earls or any of that big box restaurants. Creative, tasty, from scratch.

Excited to try this place for my brother in law s birthday. Mediocre at best! Food was just ok for all six of us, pricey for amount and quality. Service, although not rude/unkind, didn t really seem to care about the service provided. Double ceasars were definitely not doubles, and lacked taste, and garnish was not as described. May have the place years ago, when was new to open, but, sure isn t that anymore! Wished we had picked elsewhere and would not return.

The food here was delicious. This is a small, open concept restaurant in SW Edmonton. We enjoyed supper with family before an outing. We started with chips and the 5 onion dip (YUM) and we all tried different main dishes (beef short rib, pickerel, rock fish - the days special, chicken) as well as drinks (beers, caesers, espresso martini). Everything was top-notch. Prices are high, but we felt our money was well spent.

I was supposed to meet a group of people for a friend s birthday. Two days before, I contacted the restaurant through the contact form on their website to ask for modifications for my food sensitivities. I didn t hear back from them, so I called the next day and left a voicemail. Unfortunately, no one emailed or called me back. I didn t feel confident that they could accommodate my needs, so I didn t end up going. I was disappointed because the menu looks amazing and I would have liked to celebrate my friend s birthday with her.

Overall feedback from multiple people in our group...it was disappointing and they wouldnt come back based off the food they had and the look/cost of the private room. The private room was booked for a corporate dinner and was very expensive- $300 just for this room. I was told the room would be decorated and will look soo nice for this fancy dinner. Multiple guests said it had 0 décor, no table center piece, no placemats, nothing to make it look nice - there were no decorations. It was just a long wooden table with a long bench on each side to sit on (no chairs) and a little bar table set up at the side. I was also told they would have a bar where guests could mingle before hand and order cocktails, hi-balls, wine etc. and the feedback I received was, there were no cocktails or hi-balls and the restaurant picked the bottles of wine (we didnt get to choose the wine and I wasnt aware of that) and majority of the guests didnt like the choices they offered. The food was good but nothing amazing and small portions (this was a set menu the chef created which runs at $65 per person). I hear the main restaurant menu is better and thats probably what the better reviews are based on. For a high end pricey place, the ambiance and interior should match that vibe and it failed completely. The main restaurant and private room look like a nicer high end food court or bar at stampede. The private room is definitely a waste of your money and if you want something upscale and fancy for an event, choose somewhere else.

Vibe amazing! The liquor was great. Don t have Malbec on the menu but you can ask for it. Perfection! Food portions are good if you like your meal. The low rating is for the menu. I got the guilt free omelet but it doesn t say you get toast and potatoes with peppers and onions. I am sensitive to onions (also don t like them), and my whole meal tasted like onions. I should have asked about it, but I didn t feel I needed to say I can t have garlic and onions because it was not listed as part of the meal. Asked for multi grain toast, got rye. 2 thumbs down. Hubby gave his meal 1 thumb up one down for the Lox Benny - also with the veggie loaded Potato s. I believe that Menu option said hash, which sometimes does mean prepared that way. Our bad for not asking. The menu should clarify what s involved. Servers were pleasant with good energy. Had to ask for coffee top up, only got the one. I like everything is local, but I won t be back for the food. Maybe desert and drinks when the patio opens. Not worth it today. Super disappointed.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that I can confidently say is one of the best dining experiences Ive ever had. From start to finish, every aspect of the meal was absolutely outstanding. The atmosphere of the restaurant was warm and inviting, with just the right level of energy to create a lively and enjoyable dining experience. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive, without being overbearing or intrusive. But the star of the show, of course, was the food. Every dish that we ordered was expertly crafted and beautifully presented, with a level of attention to detail that is truly rare. The flavors were complex and well-balanced, with each ingredient working together in perfect harmony

We had a private function. 4 floors up too accommodate our group was a little much. The little bartender servicing our drinks was wonderful, entertaining and professional. The servers tried their best considering they had too walk up and down many flights which wasnt a great demographic plan as we had to eat independently of one another. I believe the one lady a bit older than the girls may have been the manager. Id re-evaluate her position if shes in charge of upcoming hospitality futures.

Loved the all things about this place. The space is casual and appealing love the open kitchen. The cocktail variety is good and the one i had was balanced and delicious. It was tough to decide what to have as so many things look delicious. There is a good offering of seafood options, and a daily seafood special. Also a daily beef special. I had the seafood special, cod cheeks. I was surprised to see this on the menu, being from the Atlantic provinces i would have to say it is the first time I have seen it on a menu. They were cooked perfectly! It was served with smoked tomato risotto and shredded brussel sprouts. I was a little apprehensive to order this dish because of the smoked tomato risotto as I am not always a fan of smoke flavour. I found this to be well balanced and delicious, and I would have it again. The shredded brussels were a delicious way to served them. All around an amazing meal. And great service!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful dining experience at The Workshop Eatery today. We brought our dog, as we found out their patio is dog-friendly. The service was excellent from the get go. As we approached the patio, a server asked whether we were coming in for food and she opened the gate for us. She ended up being our server and was so warm towards us and our dog. Because we were the first ones there, we also had our choice of seating and opted to sit in a quiet corner with shade. The drinks we ordered were the Peachy Business and Rosemary Delight. My boyfriend had the Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bacey while I went with the Lox Benny. Our drinks and dishes were prepared in a timely manner, looked appetizing and were delicious! Thank you for the amazing service and food! Bonus points for being so attentive to our dog ;)

The staff that welcomes us, sat us, and served us were amazing and friendly. The appetizer had nice flavour. Spouse had an old fashion beverage and he was very impressed. My red wine was tasty. We both had the specials which were $40 each. He had the sole fish, with black beans and sautéed vegetables. He wished the fish had more spice. The black beans on his plate was like a whole can. Lol. A little to much. He only ate a 1/3 of it and the sautéed vegetables were cut up so small that he could only see corn. I had the smoked brisket, BBQ potatoes and beets. Beef was very tender, but was more like a fatty roast beef. Both my spouse and I could not taste any smoke on the meat. Beets were good. Potatoes were dried out and hard to chew. Dessert was good. For the price ($178. before tip) we were so hoping we would have been wowed from our meals.

Had to wait for the food almost an hour without any explanation. Asked the host why the food was too late and she explained that the kitchen staff dropped one dish so they had to redo the dish (I heard at least three broken dishes or glasses while I was there), while 10 other dishes had to wait under a heating lamp. Asked my service again why the food wasnt out yet. Without explanation, she said it would come out soon. Told her whether the rest dishes were sitting under the heating lamp. She said no but my son said he saw 10 dishes were waiting there. I had chicken dish (my favourite from this place) but it was very dry. Probably from sitting under the heating lamp too long? The manager ended up taking 10% off the bill. However, it was a family gathering with my uncle and aunt visiting from Korea so, unfortunately, it was a very very disappointing and unpleasant dinner.

Update: August 2023 Enjoyed another amazing fine dining experience. Went for the staple crispy brussel sprouts and carpacio. This time for dinner, it was the lamb chops and the effing catch (artic char), but it lamb) was prepared differently (and amazing ) then the last year. Balanced so well with a chutney(candied) topping with risotto like base. It was like the next best comfort food lamb preparation. And that was just what was with the lamb chops. The lamb chops were made so well. Soft and easy to cut from the bone. The London fog creme brulee was just that, creamy, London fog in dessert form. Light. The apple pear crostada with ice cream is also a great ending to a perfect dining experience. Always great service, if not for great attitudes and awesome hosting. Long live the Workshop Eatery How did we get such a great dining experience in Summerside Edmonton.

We went to brunch with friends. Our friends both ordered the Chorizo hash and both of their plates did not contain very much chorizo sausage. The one friend only found one small portion of chorizo in her entire bowl/plate. She said it lacked flavored. Her husband said it wasnt the most flavorful as well. My husband and I both ordered the Huevos Benedicto - and ours was very delicious. However we decided to order dessert and ordered the lemon meringue cheesecake and were very disappointed. For $12 we expected something a little better or larger. In the picture I put my chapstick for size comparison. It was basically a bar style dessert with meringue on it. I guess Im used to cheesecake cafe when you pay $10.50 for an amazing cheesecake and receive a portion that you can eat over a couple of days! Our service was ok, it was busy - but not busy enough to be forgotten as much as we were. We werent asked to refresh our drinks. The guys were wanting another Caesar, but by the time our server came back... we were ready for our bill. It was quite a wait. The environment wasnt anything special, reminded me more of a cafeteria. We spent over $100 for two people... it just wasnt worth it to go back.

So this place has been on my list for a very long time and I finally had the opportunity to try it out for my return from a deployment. I wanna start off by saying this restaurant is so amazing, the atmosphere and the way it looks is so beautiful, I love the kitchen and how cozy it really looks inside, the service was up to par our server was actually really really nice and even explained what was in the dish and recommended some good dishes to try, we started with the mussels and the capaccio, the mussels were very very good and a good quantity, the carpaccio wasnt a hit for us it just didnt taste the same and the mushrooms had to strong of a fermented taste which didnt hit but being Italians we have high expectation for it, for Mains we had the slow cooked beef, the lentil stew and the taquitos, the slow cooked I had a very high expectation because the server said it was one of the top things and I cant lie I was fairly disappointed with it (maybe is having a high expectation) the meat wasnt very soft and It felt more tough than what Ive had in a different restaurant and the sauce that it comes in the bottom I wish it had more of it specially on top of the beef to give it a extra sweetness flavor to it, the stew was good but we felt like it was missing the coconut flavor on it and the lentils were cold but the inside was very hot so it was confusing, the taquitos were very good though my dad seemed to really enjoy it, we finished up with the apple crisp with ice cream and sadly it wasnt a hit, and I love dessert specially because we dont get sweets in the army, the inside of the pastry wasnt cooked and it felt like it was more dough than a apple crisp, the server was really nice and removed it off our bill which was very nice of her, over all I think we had very high expectations and Maybe it went this way, I do hope to give it a second try to maybe see things differently and definitely change this review.

Food was great, and although not inexpensive I thought was good value given the quality. Service and atmosphere were excellent. Our only negative was the noise level. To be fair, there was a table of 8 beside us but they were over-the-top noisy which detracted significantly from our meal. That s not entirely the restaurant s fault, but I thought they might have discreetly found a way to ask the table to lower the noise level. Overall, we loved it and would definitely go back.

We had moved to BC and returned home to Edmonton not long ago. This was our first time at Workshop since we had moved back to Edmonton. I was very excited about The Char Siu Bowl because born and raised in Singapore, I m very familiar with Char Siu which is Bbq Pork and it is one of my favs. The description of the dish on the menu was precise as it read Bbq pork. I encouraged the other couple to try it and raved about how delicious Char Siu is. Sadly when we received our dish, the pork used was pork belly which is an extremely fatty cut of meat. I could not get through eating the pork as every bite was a chunk of fat which is not supportive of my health issues. I just wish it was clearly stated on the menu that it was bbq pork belly being used in which case I would not have ordered it nor would I have recommended it to our friends. It was a bit disappointing but the service made up for it. Our waitress was lovely and understanding as she noticed I had not eaten much of the pork and I explained why. She was so sweet and took 20% off 3 of the Char Siu Bowls ordered. We ve always enjoyed The Workshop in the past and hope to give it another try without having this experience cloud our pleasant past experiences at this establishment. Kudos to our waitress for making things right for us. :)

Good potential. Took my father here for his birthday my company had worked on the building during the construction phase and it was a good fill of dead space. However, the food was a 5/10 and the service was a 3/10. This review is due to the manners of the servers and apparent management This is Edmonton however please do better: - don t clear plates until people are done eating - don t bark back at patrons when they ask for the specials by saying ya I ll get to that later - more to list Go to Cedar Creek in Kelowna and take a note out of their page If you can do that you can charge much more if the market will support. Prices are way too low here. Fix the servers, food and then Jack the prices.

Their google reviews looked great so we thought to give this place a try. The ambience was nice but our waitress started off not being friendly, no smiling and seemed grumpy. My friend and I disregard it at first but we noticed she never checked up on us after the food came nor came to fill our empty water glass. We wondered if she was just having a bad day. Aside from that, the food was good but we would not come back as the service was disappointing.

This restaurant has absolutely delicious and thoughtful dishes. The drinks were amazing, and the staff , chefs, management, and our waiter were so friendly and kind. Their ethically sourced food and products make this place well worth supporting. We had such a lovely night out. Thank you to everyone there :)

Workshop is solidly delicious and the service is excellent every time we visit. Tonight was no exception...we went with a large group of friends for my husbands birthday. They treated us like royalty and as usual the food was spectacular.

Went in for lunch last week and had one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! (Their take on a Reuban) The service was exemplary, atmosphere was enjoyable and incredibly clean. Will definitely be back to try more

It was my second time to eat there for brunch. My favorite main dish is Chicken so yummy. Fish and chips are good. The Arancini are not my favorite, it is not hot enough inside, only 3 small balls for $15, over prices. I rather order something else. the beef burger is juicy with the creamy chicken soup. the restaurant has a huge window, I like to eat inside and can see sunshine. this time, our waitress wasn t very good, not much talk with us. When we talked to her, her voice was so little and hard to hear. And we had to repeat a few times to tell her what we ordered.

Was there for a Sunday Brunch. Ordered fried Chicken Waffle and Huevos Benedicto. Chicken and Waffle tasted amazing. For sure must try. Disappointed with Huevos Benedicto. It was recommended as their best seller but sadly did not taste good. Service was a little slow. Surprisingly it was jot that busy either. I d say You can try this place.

The food was good, but service was poor. Our server never asked us once how the food was. She cleared our plates and commented that our plates were empty. When we asked if we could make adjustments to a dish she said no problem then when we made our adjustments she then told us to order something else. Didn t appreciate her condescending tone. For $85 definitely not worth it for the service.

We thought we would try the Workshop, after having enjoyed a few meals at their WoodShed operation. Overall a very average meal. We both had the chicken burger. My wife thought it was average, nothing out of the ordinary. My chicken was very thin and tough. Service was good and prompt. Value for dollar would be good as well if the food quality was better.

I came here for a work Christmas party. I ordered the devilled eggs and pickerel. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and I like their concept of providing seasonal menu s. I would say the food is mediocre. It s nothing special and lacks flavour. I was very unimpressed in how my dishes tasted, as it sounded delicious. I took a few bites of my pickerel dish and ended up taking it to go (to be polite). I never ended up eating the leftovers as it wasn t good. The server was friendly but the service was a little slow. Perhaps they were understaffed that day. Use your discretion when considering this place to eat. You may love it or you may not.
