We booked table in dome for dinning on our Anniversary. Manager was very helpful as our dome’s speaker was not working and he changed it to make our day special. But we did not like the energy of the server, he was being judgmental whenever we say something. His face expressions were weird. Ambience of the place was so good. Service of the food was good but we personally did not like any food item. It can be happen because our taste is different than their food style. And there is $50 reservation fees for dome.

I honestly didn’t know much about Boxer when I booked. Follow them on Instagram, but don’t see their posts often. Luckily, they were on my local restaurant list & made a reservation there for our weekly Wednesday dinners at various local Edmonton restaurants, for my brother’s birthday. First of all, I LOVE that it is down an alley. It’s very fun & cool & very not Edmonton. Secondly, the decor is so eclectic and wonderful. I absolutely loved the space. I felt like a tourist with all the photos I was taking. Thirdly, our server was wonderful. Robyn is bubbly and fun and told us the coolest history of the building (which should be on the menu), but it was so fun to hear the story from her & the cool way it was heated back in the day (also think they should do $10 tours for charity). Finally, the food. Truly delicious. The presentation and flavour were fantastic. The farrow served with the chicken….UNBELIEVABLE! My friend ordered the kale salad with her salmon and I was teasing that kale should be outlawed. She said the salad was great, so I tried a tiny bite and it was very good. I’ve never tasted good kale. I guess the secret is in the massage and looks like Boxer massages their kale! My brother also had the salmon with the regular risotto side and really enjoyed it & his friend had the steak frites which was cooked to perfection & the fries looked really good. My brother finished with the apple jack creme brule, but I never asked how it was, the dish was totally clean though when we were finished chatting with Robyn. I am so happy Boxer was on my list & that I made the reservation.

About the restaurant
Bodega Ellerslie, our first Edmonton location south of the River Valley, is just 15 minutes from the Edmonton International Airport, steps away from Blackmud Creek and surrounded by numerous hotels and head offices.
Our Ellerslie location is the perfect spot for a speedy lunch, drinks afterwork and a night out with friends. With just 60 seats, this space is bright, dynamic with all the little details our properties are known for.
This summer, snag a spot on the patio, and settle in - small plates and paella to share will transport you out of the suburbs and into Spain. This is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant & we kindly ask guests to observe a two hour dining experience on busy nights so we can host as many of our cherished patrons as possible.

For groups over 4, please phone us at (780) 884-5916

The food and service was exceptional. but the wheelchair accessibility was not great. there was wheelchair parking and a ramp to get into the restaurant but there was a step once you got into the building. they did have a portable ramp that they did put out for me. it did worked great. but it would be nice if they would have a more permanent solution. i did not check to see if they had an ADA bathroom. but over all they staff were more than accommodating for me and my service dog. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Great staff and more over great food.
