   We were seated at an end table close to the stairs going down to the basement. What we didn’t realize was there was construction going on because of the flooded basement according to the staff. We should have been moved right away when they started sawing, hammering, pounding the walls,etc. they offered us to be moved only after complaining. In fact there was a lot of empty tables far from where we were placed.Also we were asked if we want our coffee topped to be warm, instead we were given a colder coffee from a pot. Overall not a very good experience. I have always liked to dine here but I don’t think this time we were seen equally with the other guests.

   We visited BVRR on the recommendation from our friend and it didn't disappoint. Eggs Benny, Mushroom Roast, Rosemary Chicken, and French TOAST were all fabulous! The sauces where all superb, we'll be back. Thanks.

   The staff was very welcoming, polite and friendly. My friend and I took the Lunch express, which was delicious. The roasted cauliflower soup was amazing. We were very happy with our experience and we both want to be back. Thank you very much.

   I believe the restaurant was understaffed as our waitress would leave us for long periods. But we could see she was run off her feet. We were seated by a very bright light and by the kitchen door even though there was an open table by the fireplace which the host said was open but we wouldnt like it b/c there was a baby that could make noise sitting close by. Overall, the food was delicious and quick to come out. We received 1 scallop (even though the menu and the waitress said there would be at least 2 maybe 3) for a whooping 11 dollars. Little disappointed on that. The location in the Valley is second to none and it is a beautiful, historic, majestic house turned restaurant that is so enchanting.

   Yes, I’ve been coming here for years and never disappointed except for during Covid and our wedding Anniversary pickup on December 29, 2020. Where my husband got violently ill … he has gluten & dairy allergies. But, he honestly believes it was the the meat ..in the pork belly appetizer…. We love the ambience, staff and overall surroundings… Thank you Sarah and others who served us. It was a girls lunch long overdue and I know we were there for a long time … thank you for allowing us to have this time together. Cannot wait to return ♥️

   We sat in a quiet side room right after the restaurant opened. Everyone was very friendly and the historical building is a charming setting. The food was delicious, try the pastry plate if you’re there for brunch. We’ll definitely be back!

    An excellent dinner. The dishes were vibrant and interesting mix of flavours. The wine list was very good, it was welcome to see a good selection of half bottles of wine. The main room was rather noisy when full which made conversation difficult at times. Service was excellent and unrushed. Kayla was very personable, knew the menu very well and was a delight.

    The food was outstanding. The waitresses and waiters went above and beyond. They were fast, polite and very professional. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. I wish I remembered my waiter’s name, as he was the best waiter I have had in my 32 years of being alive (not over exaggerating in the slightest)

    Delicious NYE dinner. Cioppino was flavourful and the seafood was perfectly cooked. The crab salads were great. Main courses had great flavour. The steak, although the flavour was fabulous, was full of grizzle and tough sinew. Dessert was great, and we had also ordered a cheese board and it was excellent.

    Excellent as always. Prices are a little higher than the big chain quasi-luxury places, but lower than most high end restaurants and the quality/service exceeds either. Can’t beat the ambiance or service

    We had the most AMAZING dinner at BVR. We have been several times over the years and yet this one will be one to remember. We had great service,. But the dishes we ordered were second to none. Typically we order steak when we go out, but I wanted something different this time. I ordered the grilled octopus and let me tell you, it was THE BEST DECISION EVER! It will be a dish that I remember forever. Following that I had the beet risotto, which was also UNREAL. My better half had the oysters and the scallop/shrimp dish, which were amazing! (Don’t get me wrong, the steak dishes at BVR are amazing too,. But this was something special). As always, an incredible experience; can’t wait to come back!

    We absolutely love BVR for dinner. The food is outstanding, as well as, the service, and the value. We find it very reasonably priced. My only suggestion is to make sure if it's a birthday celebration, not to forget. :)

    Beautiful landmark of a restaurant in fish creek park. The ambience is elegant and filled with antiques. We took a tour upstairs to see if the room was truly haunted. It was colder but we didn’t see anything lol The service was incredible, we weren’t rushed and she gave great suggestions. The food was fantastic, my husband and friend said it was the best steak they ever had! And we eat a LOT of steak.

    My first time at The Ranch, and it won’t be the last. Went for a birthday brunch, I had a pineapple mimosas-excellent! And mushroom toast-also excellent, the write up in the menu does not do this dish justice! Our server -excellent, described it as a “boujee dish”. Absolutely delicious!
