   We had a lovely evening with family at the Ranche! Food was excellent with great service! The wedding next door added a fun vibe to our evening without being too loud!

   Truly excellent Canadiana. Terrific food choices, well prepared. Excellent staff. Great suggestions. Memorable event for visitors. If anything for a suggestion, dessert menu could benefit from an example of Canadian content.

    I was a little disappointed that it was only the Brunch menu, but everyone enjoyed the food. Staff was very attentive and my request for Prosecco was delivered to the table. It was excellent and I will go back to try the dinner menu.

    Warm water no ice served Had a martini but they ran out of olives if you can imagine Appy mussels was excellent Appy pork was greasy, cold and dried out Main course strip loin, although tasty was super tough and stringy disappointing Main course scallops was pretty good but cold Dessert we ordered a crème Carmel which was really bad watery not creamy Dessert two was pistachio cheese cake which was good We got a coffee which was cold. Also had a Spanish coffee which was cold as well Not a great experience

    I was surprised that the restaurant opened a few tables when they were also catering to a large wedding. The demands of the wedding made the service very very slow. The food was delicious when it did arrive but it was a disappointing evening with the noise and poor service. We will not rush to book again.

    Normally we have a wonderful time coming to the Ranche, however this was not one of those times. The food was still better than average and the whole house, in which the restaurant is situated, was still gorgeous, looking out on a pretty garden. However, issues began right away, starting with our seating. As it was my mother’s birthday and she has a particular spot in the large room that she likes to sit (so she can enjoy the large fireplace in the main hall), I had made a special request to be sat in that room. I had gone so far as to call and ensure we would be able to sit there. On the day we were brought into the first small room to the left of the entrance. When asked about this they said there was a wedding (which could be seen gathered out in the garden at that moment), which had reserved the main hall. I’m not sure why I wasn’t told about this since the wedding clearly was booked some time before my reservation.

    The oysters and halibut were excellent and the fish not overdone. The large party of wedding guests were noisy but not obtrusive the side room where we were sitting. An enjoyable evening celebrating the birthdays of my wife and me.

    Food was delicious, and came out quickly once ordered. Service was slow to take our order, and to provide us with our bill at the end (we actually went in to pay because it was taking so long). Other tables seemed to be served within reasonable timeframe, so maybe it was just our server.

    My wife and I returned to the Ranche to celebrate our anniversary. A fitting place to celebrate as we were married there some years ago. Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. The service was appalling, the food was cold and if a chef is going to cook steak sous vide, please at least let us come within 10 feet of the grill. My wife had the scallops and spent the night running to the bathroom. Our love affair with the Ranche is over.

    Service and food are both impeccable. Beautiful historic building. Delicious soup, main and dessert. The tuna appetizer is my least favourite dish. A must for Calgary visit.

    My wife and I love to dine at the Bow Valley Ranche and, while our most recent lunch experience was okay, it was significantly inferior to prior dining experiences. We had the express lunch (short rib and salmon) and while it's three courses, it took two hours from entering to leaving the restaurant; for me, a two hour lunch is not "express". The meat and fish were hot on each dish, however, the vegetables were barely warm. The dessert (brownie) was very underwhelming and dry. Overall, it was disappointing and the food and service were nowhere close to prior dining experiences, unfortunately.

    This is my favourite restaurant Today the lunch was very good with a couple of things: Owen the server was almost unfriendly, stoic, no smile. Maybe he’s new and uncomfortable. He also never asked if I wanted another glass of wine - which is fine but I usually get asked that. Note to chef - the salmon doesn’t need finishing salt!

    The service and attentiveness of the staff was excellent as usual. The food while decent was only that, decent. I’d love to see an updated menu and a few new appetizers and mains to select from. The oysters were the smallest I have ever seen.

    Excellent experience again. Great view from table 64 by a set of French doors. The food is always amazing. One dish was medium well instead of medium rare. Otherwise fantastic dishes. Beef carpaccio and elk tartare were both delicious appetizers. I had a Bison strip loin and my wife had beef tenderloin. Fantastic. Dessert was de-constructed tiramisu. All in all an awesome experience!!
