The atmosphere was wonderful, but the food left a fair bit to be desired. My dish (gnocchi) came luke warm and was not particularly tasty. My partner had the pickerel which she found bland and rubbery. Our friends had food they liked more than we did, but only 1 of the 6 people at our table thought their meal was particularly tasty. Portions are small, in keeping with what you tend to get at this price point. Service was fine. Overall our meal was a let down. At 30-40$ a plate for a meal that isn't enough food to fill a normal person up, the taste needs to be really good to command that kind of cost. Sadly, this wasn't it, at least for me.

Very underwhelming. They may buy their ingredients from the farm but they don't let them speak. Sauce on a 44 dollar steak? BBQ sauce on carrots? Maybe I'm simply not civilized enough to understand the mental gymnastics it takes to decide that's better than simple dishes, maybe I'd prefer to continue my path of savagery. Server was good, drinks were good, but I've had better Swanson TV dinners and thats a low bar.

Celebrating an anniversary we tried odla for the first time. Decor and ambiance 10/10.
Menu was interesting and looking back I would’ve opted for some of the starters.
Hubby had the chicken leg very good flavours but the sousvide chicken was rubbery. My pickerel was tasty but the dish was cold. For $39 and $35 I expected it to be warm at least. Didn’t catch the servers name as we weren’t ordering more beverages. Overall 7/10.

Love this place! The food, service and vibes were amazing. I got the smoked trout and it was delicious! Mimosas were $5. Reasonably priced. Will definitely come back and try more items on the menu. Thank you to our server who was friendly at prompt with service!

We went to Odla for the very first time and our waitress left us waiting for +20 minutes. Fortunately, another waitress apologized to us and payed for our drinks in compensation. It was a very kind detail! Other than that, the atmosphere is very special. The plants make you feel quite relaxed. The food was incredibly good.

I have eaten at Odla a handful of times over the past two years and my review is mixed. There are several aspects that always remain consistently great: the cocktails, dessert and the atmosphere. The food aside from dessert, I find hit and miss. I find the specials and chefs choice are always best while some of the menu items are lacking in taste and presentation for the price. The service is also quite inconsistent. NYE service was exceptional, but recently when dining with a few girlfriends, I felt like a burden to the server and she was visibly annoyed when I asked for a substitution due to allergies. The atmosphere is lovely and aesthetically, Odla is one of my favourite spots in the city.

Sorry Odla. Your simple breakfast. Salad? A deep fried hash brown. 2 poorly executed over easy eggs. One big overly sweet sausage. A what can only be described as a mutilated burnt single piece of toast. 21 bucks. My daughter did find the breakfast poutine good but the price to quality was way off. Service was good. A bit slow on the coffee refill. Not much of an Easter brunch.

This was my favorite meal that I had all week during my visit to Saskatoon. Highly recommended! I will be dining here in the future and I have a feeling it will be essential to have at least one meal here every trip. Food and service were both outstanding!

We really enjoyed our meals here. Though the printed menu may not change too much over time, listen carefully to the specials, which are often unique, interesting, and delicious! And their cocktail and wine options are broad and varied. In summer you can sit outside and enjoy the Broadway bustle, if you like.

In the summer, outdoor deck is a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming!

Ambience was pleasant, but the food/wine and service left much to be desired. I've been serving for 15 years and enjoy wine regularly myself; the house wine my friend ordered was very acidic and vinegary. We flagged down an employee to let them know the wine was "off", and our server returned with the same glass of wine, stating that she'd tried the bottle when she first opened it, and the wine tasted exactly as it should. Our option was to drink it or dump it, but we would be paying for it regardless. *cue dumbfounded look on both our faces*.

When others might have walked out, we decided to stick it out and order food and replace the unpleasant wine with a cocktail. My cocktail and the replacement cocktail were both good. We let our server know that the new cocktail was much better than the initial glass of house wine, to which she responded that "five sommeliers are employed there and have all enjoyed that wine for years" so she wasn't sure what our issue with it was.

Fritters arrived the same colour as the black cast-iron skillet they were served in, but I scraped off the burnt outside and enjoyed the rest. The lamb meatballs were not ground finely, and sinewy bits distracted from their overall flavour. The mushrooms were delicious.

I have never been made to feel so uncomfortable and borderline unwanted in a restaurant before. I wish I'd had cash to leave on the table and avoid interacting further with any staff. Hard pass on returning any time soon.

My partner and I went during Nuit Blanche. Everywhere else was busy and line ups and we should have known by this. Odla was empty. We had a drink and appy. Toast was burnt and scraped off featured appetizer could have come out of a box. So disappointed. Waiter never asked how things were during or while bill was being paid. Won't be back and will let friends and family know to go elsewhere.
06 December 2022 12:03
Our waiter was amazing. The food was soooo good. I love that they use locally sourced products.
23 November 2022 23:07
AMAZING food. We chose here for our 17th anniversary and were very impressed. One of the best burgers I have had in a long while. Service was super friendly and informative. Great atmosphere. Will most definitely be back

Each dish was delicious. We tried the roasted vegetables with roasted hazelnuts and brown butter. The nuts were the perfect touch. We had the sliced cucumbers which were creamy and refreshing. Then we got the chicken schnitzel. The chicken was cooked to perfection. Crispy but not dried out.
The service was excellent. Only critique would have their water chilled or with ice as on hot days, that would have topped everything off. Definitely recommend this place!

The best place ever in Stoon. Food was just right, just great. Not too saucey, not too sweet, not too salty.
Would definitely come back again.

Had a lovely dinner here. 1st time. Service was excellent. Kitchen a little slow, but was worth the wait and they comped our onion rings, they were perfect. Great crunch and onions themselves were perfect. Nice bite. Not soggy or stringy.

A wonderful restaurant on Broadway. We had a gluten intolerant and a lactose intolerant member in our party and they were really able to accommodate both of them. The food was delicious. We had the chicken sandwich, pork dish, and the grilled trout meals. Everyone was satisfied with their meal, especially the celiac member that had agreed on to her meal some fried chicken as she had not been able to have fried chicken in years due to her gluten intolerance.

I've been to Odla a handful of times since they've opened but usually for lunch as its close to workplace. However, my wife and I have gone twice in the last month.

Our first time for dinner was okay but not the greatest, cocktails were great, I had the "Maize Well" and she had their take on a martini. We both had the gnocchi, to which we added fried chicken to, for dinner. Gnocchi was different (in a good way) but food was quite slow to make it to the table. Service was very awkward. I don't think we saw our server smile even once; very grouchy and very short with us. She didn't even say a single word as she took our payment. Kind of spoiled the night and we decided it might be a while before we came back.

Coincidentally, our friend decided to have their birthday dinner at Odla the next week. We are glad we went back, we tried more cocktails and a few different appetizers, all of which were great. Jason was our table's server this time and was phenomenal; great recommendations and a great attitude!

We will definitely be back soon!
10 September 2022 6:52
Long wait for pricy food that wasn't completely cooked. We both had very upset stomachs within 30 mins of eating here. Heard so many great things but we are definitely disappointed. Won't be back
19 August 2022 19:19
Amazing Service and Incredible Food! The menu is Celiac Friendly as the vast majority of the food is Gluten free! Thank you for a Great Anniversary Lunch with my wife!
08 August 2022 18:42
I thought it was underwhelming food for the price, drinks were expensive for the pour. The atmosphere was nice.
25 June 2022 4:32
My first time at Odla was on Mother's Day. I had broccoli quiche and salad. Excellent food! Friendly, helpful staff. Will be back again.
06 June 2022 18:08
What a fantastic place. My wife and I ordered 6 different things and one was better than the other. Standouts were the scotch egg and the brussel sprout side dish, but everything was great. One of the few places where I can't say I can make that myself. The best place in Saskatoon and one the best places I have been to, period. Great staff too, really worth going.
05 June 2022 22:27
I tried a tasting menu, and while it was okay the combinations were not thought out, it was quite over priced for what we received. I’ve been here before & it was okay, but when we tried 4/5 courses it just wasn’t thought out enough, it kind of seemed like a bunch of pickled ingredients thrown together! I don’t think I’d come back. (dessert was 10/10 tho! So maybe come back for just dessert)
04 June 2022 1:41
It was really good I wish they had a little bit more of an option 4 for food but what they do have is very good
10 April 2022 8:36
The ultimate farm-to-table restaurant. It's literally co-owned by farmers, and their meat is served at the restaurant. Ingredients come from within Saskatchewan, if not within 200 miles of Saskatoon. Every meal is delicious, made with love, and every experience is a great one!
07 April 2022 11:10
Really enjoyed our first visit to Odla! Food options are carefully picked and taste amazing! Staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Our party of 7 had both main menu and brunch meals picked and they looked great! All of us enjoyed their meals!

Like the fact the ingredients come from a local farm by Vanscoy.

Design of this place is truly beautiful and super cozy! I doubt any girl wouldn’t like going for a date here.

Enjoyed the visit and will be coming back!

Another incredible spot in Saskatoon. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive and exactly what you expect in high quality service establishments. The food parallels the service. Every bite was a full flavour mouthful! This isn't a generic restaurant. Each dish is a curated design by the chef. I also tried the cocktails there, and the drinks match the dishes. Again unique thought was put into the house cocktails. Housemade ingredients are used to create truly one of a kind offerings.
Was a great experience and we are looking forward to returning.

Went 1pm on a Friday, know one else in the resteraunt. However, our waitress was wonderful. The food was amazing. Highly recommend. They also brought me a free birthday dessert without showing any ID.humble, relaxed atmosphere.
12 January 2022 6:01
Lamb meatball starters, Schnetzel and the hot chocolate are the perfect brunch trio! Great place with exceptional service

I've been here two times now and each experience was incredible. Great food and terrific service. Highly recommend.
10 January 2022 19:18
Food was great and many different menu options. Drink menu has lots of great cocktails, 9 Mile Legacy Brewing beer, and even Pisco Sours. Had great evening with friends. A bit more $$ than some of our other favorite places, but seemed worth it. Recommend trying them out.
30 November 2021 17:09
An absolutely amazing restaurant. The food was so delicious! Beautiful thing about it was that I couldn't tell what the flavourings were. I have no idea how they made it taste as good as it did. It was radically fresh food, perfectly prepared. And we were able to eat outside on the patio warmed by these bowls of fire oh, so even at the height of an outbreak we were able to eat safely and in a beautiful setting.
09 November 2021 13:44
Tasty dishes in a great location, I really liked the cocktails, but the menu is small and portions are too.
24 October 2021 21:58
I don't think I've ever had fish as good as the one I had at Oodla. It was a great experience, nice atmosphere and drinks were well made. Food is out of the world and I'm still not entirely over how good it was.
21 October 2021 17:19
Only complaint was the service was a little slow but, as with most places, they are dealing with short staffing so I can let that slide. Especially since the food is so good.

Staff was very kind. Food is on the pricier side but, in my opinion, worth it. Which is really what matters in the end. Definitely worth checking out.

*Also they have lots of gluten free options!
10 October 2021 18:57
So impressed with this dining experience in Saskatoon! Our meal was superb, fantastic wine, and amazing service! Thank you so much!
09 October 2021 2:49
A bit pricey. This is the best meal I’ve had in a long time. They value Quality for sure. Eat here.
30 September 2021 11:04
The fried chicken! Is gluten free! Everyone needs to know this! This was my first fried chicken experience at a restaurant and i nearly cried into my plate. The gnocchi and fried chicken was over the top. The chicken was shattering crisp and perfectly cooked. My plate was a pleasing balance of colors and flavors and I savored every bite. THANK YOU for giving us a wonderful experience.

Second time visiting. I normally don’t like to leave negative comments to local restaurants specially those who are promoting local food ingredients. We understand really well the difference between the color variation from each different shipment and an old oil burn taste so when we only try to provide an friendly reminder the uncomfortable attitude from the server make us leaving a 2 star comment here.
07 September 2021 17:35
The food and service here is always fantastic. They could however invest in some umbrellas and better furniture for their patio. Neither are up to the quality and prices of the restaurant.
19 August 2021 5:03
Excellent service and wonderful food. I highly recommend the Gnocchi if that's your thing.
