We enjoyed the tasting menu for Faber Vineyards (with wine pairings) very much. Everything ran as smooth as clockwork, staff were amazing, no complaints here!

The Butternut Tree was our venue for our wedding and I cannot say enough amazing things! From the planning, to the day of everything was so seamless! The staff went above and beyond making our day so special! The food was absolutely amazing, the location is perfect with stunning views of the river valley and the Legislature building! Thank you to The Butternut Tree for making our day that much more amazing!

Absolutely fantastic dinner experience. The cocktails are very unique, the duck and salmon were phenomenal. The service was amazing from start to finish, with a description of every dish as it came out. Loved this and will definitely be back!

Came for the tasting menu 105 per person and it was so worthwhile! There is parking behind the building a little hidden but super close. And I did see a baby change table in the bathroom too... but this is definitely an upper class dining experience. To start with we decided to order some drinks instead of doing the wine pairing. Tried the non-alcoholic Bees Knees 10 and this ginger tumeric mocktail of healthy goodness was right up my alley. I ordered the signature London Fog 16- earl grey vodka, vanilla cordial, lemon, egg white. And this drink was amazing! Creamy and smooth and so tasty. Our servers were amazing, my water cup was always full and they checked in on us often but not too much. They were friendly and did a great job presenting the courses as they came out. The tasting menu changes so I’d be game to come back and check it out another time for sure: Ahi Tuna - Shishito: so refreshing and I loved the spicy pepper salsa medley Bison - cured egg: I’ve never had bison tartar but dang this was such a unique and delightful dish. It also had some mushrooms on it that were so delicately tasty. Winter cabbage - caramelized whey: the best dish in the house! I’m a big cabbage fan already but this dish was just delightfully rich and full of flavour. Lingcod - Fennel Veloute: probably the least outstanding dish. Still good and served with lots of root vegetables which I enjoyed. Typically if I order from a menu I lean towards the fish dishes so I’m glad they served one in this tasting menu. Alberta AAA ribeye: very fitting for an Alberta/ local food forward restaurant. You can’t go wrong with a good cut of meat cooked right. Posset - raspberry: this was more of a mint forward dish, the brig strips of mint were alright. I enjoyed the flavour of the posset- it was light and fresh with a nice lemony flavour. And to finish it off in case you weren’t full enough we got a small order of the cheese board. Lovely presentation and the jams/jellies/honeys so good! Overall a memorable and delightfully tasty first tasting experience I would recommend to anyone.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE BRUNCH! I always wanted to visit and finally here I was. Straight out the best brunch I had in a long time. I had a quiche with extra mushrooms, avocado and potatoes. Everything was fresh and warm. Copious amount of fresh arugula salad! I am always happy to find a place that doesn't skimp on good veggies :) Clean and minimalistic decor with open kitchen concept. Friendly service and their cocktails weren't too bad either. I would like to come back and try other brunch menu. It was such a treat!

My husband and I came here for a fine dining experience and we were not disappointed. The Butternut Tree has been around for a long time, specializing in locally sourced ingredients long before it was popular to do so. After our recent experience, I am flabbergasted that it took us so long to make it here despite knowing about it for many years. We ordered the tasting menu at 125 a person and were very satisfied. Each dish was special in its own way, and very yummy. The elements of each dish were unique well thought out, and delicious as individual bites yet harmonious together as well. We savoured and appreciated each one. I wasn't starving, but had lots of room in my belly, and my husband and I both left pleasantly satiated but not stuffed. Service was excellent. The servers were knowledgeable and explained every dish while still being unobtrusive. For those wondering about timing, yes, the tasting menu takes between 2 and 2.5 hours. However, considering there were 3 appetizers, 2 mains, an amuse bouche, a palette cleanser, and dessert, the pace was spot-on. We had time to talk and savour our dishes and yet were never waiting so long to wonder where the next dish was. In terms of ambience and location, it has an airy feel while still feeling intimate. The vast amount of windows help with that and the natural lighting is beatiful. I also appreciated the local touches like the beautiful concrete candle holders that are made by an Edmomton artist. The view of the legislature building is outstanding. It's a great vantage point to people watch and car watch. Underground parking directly under the building is free, just beware of the height clearance (6'1") if driving a large vehicle. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The Butternut Tree will definitely come more quickly to mind for future occasions or when we have visitors.

The Butternut Tree is one of my absolute favorite venues to photograph weddings. With its large windows and chic, modern design, the natural lighting is stunning and truly elevates the overall look of the photos. The atmosphere is warm and elegant, and the staff are incredibly professional and kind—making the entire experience seamless for both couples and vendors. The space has an effortless charm that brings every event to life and makes it an absolute joy to capture.

What an absolutely gorgeous meal! Wonderful Leg views, and the Wellignton was delicious (order the Bordeaux!). The service was impeccable and we had the place to ourselves, which was a nice bonus. Definitely have the Creme Brulee. Can't wait to visit again. Thanks for the chat, Chef!
