About the restaurant

Aalto’s inspiration runs deep. From Pyramid Lake’s shimmering waters to the sky-scraping peaks that tower above, we’ve translated our neighbouring natural wonders onto our menu. The result is what we call “lake-food” — a homegrown interpretation of seafood that spotlights Jasper’s finest regional flavours.

We had a beautiful experience at Alto, we had eloped at Pyramid Lake and reserved a table for after the ceremony. The staff were very kind and professional. Food was absolutely delicious. The view from this restaurant was absolutely stunning. I do not have one negative thing to say about this experience. I will certainly go back to this restaurant when I go back to Jasper

Had an early mother's Day lunch and it was perfect! It wasn't too busy in the restaurant and the sun was shining through the windows which made it such a special day. Pat our server, was fantastic with lots of great recommendations and checked in with us often. The food came out very tasty and hot and we all raved about our meals. We are regulars and will continue to come back often because you can't beat the food and the service and the view you get here.

Riverside Bistro-Courtyard by Marriott Edmonton is very commendable to all who want to eat a decent and delicious food with a beautiful scenery of Edmonton Downtown. My wife and I was very happy and very satisfied to celebrate her birthday. The crew are also nice, kind. We would probably come again but this time with family and friends.

Attentive and friendly service by server Anusha and Manager Ajay Started by sharing a small Garden Greens Salad which my husband and I enjoyed. Ordered ahi tuna poke bowl and Sesame citrus noodle bowl with ahi tuna added. Food was very well prepared — delicious, interesting flavours, textures and colourful presentation. This was our first time at Earl’s in Jasper and we plan to return next time we are in town. PS Both men’s and women’s bathrooms well appointed and very clean. Added to a positive dining experience for us.
