    My wife and I had a delightful experience and the food and service were exceptional. There was a wide variety of food to choose from, all of it top quality and taste. Of course the Empire Ballroom is a beautiful location with an amazing view of Edmonton’s south side. I highly recommend partaking in this experience with beloved family members at least once a year. Well worth it.

    The food was exceptional, with lots to choose from, from the salad bar to the omelet station or the prime rib, Everything was fresh and delicious. There were many more items to choose from but we enjoyed the desert the most, the crepes and cherries were the greatest. we will be back for more soon Maria our host was the best.

    I frequently attend the Sunday Brunch at the Fairmont Hotels Empire Ballroom. It is an exceptionally exquisite experience. The food, presentation, ambiance, coupled with the entire professional and friendly staff create a world class dining experience. The terrace and garden add a serene after dinner picture taking opportunities,overlooking a very picturesque and colourful area of Edmonton riverside.

    My wife and I had an incredible experience. We have been before and it was just as I remembered. The food was incredible and I didn’t eat one thing that didn’t taste delicious. It was so nice to be able to go outside halfway through the meal to catch the ambiance in the back and our server was amazing. It would’ve been nice to see some sushi on the menu to go along with the seafood selections, but I’m not complaining. Everything that was offered was awesome.
