   Lovely place to celebrate special occasions. Food is always great. Went for the Mother’s Day brunch. Starters had were a beetroot salad on whipped feta and a plate of pastry and fruit. I can only comment on the later which was heavy on pastry and light on fruit. Pastry was lovely but 1 strawberry a tiny bunch of grapes and 3 blueberries was a little stingy. Had the Shakshuka which was just what I was looking for, it was very flavorful.

   The most charming restaurant. Fabulous service. Scrumptious food. Value for money 11/10!!! Can’t wait to return.

   Certain dishes such as octopus and tenderloin were overcooked. Cocktails were average. But everything else was great.

   Booked for dinner and the options I had was 3:30 pm or 7:30pm. So I booked the 3:30pm dinner service. Bow Valley Ranch does not service dinner at that time, which we found out after we order a beverage. The waiter suggested Annie’s cafe for dinner which is a cafe not a restaurant (odd ). I want to thank Wellingtons for a lovely dinner. It should have said on the website that dinner starts at 5:00pm. The waiter was not very nice and when we paid the bill, the waiter pointed to the tip selection and said pick one. NOT VERY GOOD, tip is for the service, service without an attitude. Because of this interaction, not recommend to dine here or dine at your own risk

   All our food was absolutely incredible. The service was extremely slow based on the fact that there was just as many staff as there were diners, but we weren’t too bothered by this as we were there to catch up with each other. If we had somewhere to be, it would’ve been a bigger issue. All three of us enjoyed the dishes we picked out, the food was fresh, and seasoned perfectly. This is such a gem of a restaurant for Calgary.

    Second visit in a little over a month as the place is very beautiful in the building and where it is situated. The first Server we had was amazing and did everything to make the evening to a point where we couldnt wait to come back. The second server was a complete opposite in the attitude was one of indifference. I think she figured by bringing more water from time to time fulfilled her role to us. When she was removing the dishes i pointed out the strip steak i had, had a very pronounced gristle through it and that made the dish less satisfying. Instead of being sympathetic and making some offer to make it better she inferred it was just s strip steak and that happens. My wife’s dinner did not neither did the same steak i had a month ago have it either. The same dinner i couldnt wait to come back for gets a failing mark as does the server. Might i point out also she claimed to have worked kitchens for twenty some years so she was not just “fresh off the boat” .
