   First timer here! It was absolutely fantastic! Our Server Robyn hit it out of the park with her drink and food suggestions. Highlights for us: smoked olives were insane amazing, The meat balls were perfectly cooked and flavored. We really enjoyed the hot honey pepperoni pizza (an extra side of honey with it would bring it up a notch)  We tried so much more and were impressed with every bite. We will definitely be back!!!

   Food was just ok. Ambience was the best part of the experience. The mocktails were small and overpriced, especially considering they didn't contain alcohol. The food was slow to arrive, but our waiter was attentive overall.

   The cocktails are extremely clever and I love their lengthy full list (by QR code). Had the short ribs which were excellent, yet the baked Brie starter wasn’t baked too much. Great flavours though! Our server was busy which impacted how long it took us to be greeted (a while, but at least that cocktail list is a lot to get through!). Overall though good experience!

   I took my girlfriend here for our valentines dinner having never been prior and it turned out to be an amazing experience. We are not fancy people in the slightest but the amazing atmosphere at Boxer made us feel like we were! The food was fantastic (albeit we weren’t sure how to approach some with our forks) but it added to the fun. Our server was great, checking in on us just the right amount and making us feel welcome. I will definitely be returning to check out the brunch and regular menu!

   Excellent food and capable staff; sure those are important; however the real reason to come to Boxer is the : *Exceptional* cocktails curated by the master mixologist owner Why pay 8 or 9$ for a highball when you can pay 15 for 2.5oz of truly astonishing quality. This restaurant is simply underpriced for the quality of food and drinks. Fine dining quality with welcoming causal atmosphere, and excellent curated music that doesn't overwhelm the experience. Truly a gem in YEG.

   Considering that in many restaurants the often "associated chaos" on special days like Valentine's Day, the team at Boxer were incredible. Ambience in the newly opened "street space" was very nice, intimate for those that wanted more privacy and the hostess was most accommodating in finding the right table for us. With a set menu that offered three interesting and as it turns out, very tasty choices in appetizers, mains and desserts, we were very pleased at promptness of service, food presentation and delivery and of course the quality of food and excellent taste. A great venue for special occasions and for regular dining and highly recommended when dining in the Old Strathcona area of Edmonton.

    Endless cocktail options, food was delicious from start to finish. The crème brûle was disappointing as it was more like a liquid pudding but everything else was fantastic from starters to mains.
