My bison back ribs was delicious but my girlfriend thought the risotto that came with her arctic char was a bit bland. Food portions were very good. And the service by our waiter (Harry) was outstanding. Still a neighborhood gem !

The venue was beautiful. The service was amazing. The food was not great. My partner ordered lobster tail and I ordered the sirloin and lobster with ginger rice. The rice seemed plain, the steak was tough, and both our lobsters were over cooked. The drinks, dessert, and the service were quite good though. But it's not a place I'll consider going to again anytime soon.

It was a lovely dining experience and the food is very good. It was just very pricey and the value was not there for me.

This was our first time at this restaurant and we had a wonderful evening. There was something for everyone. I’m glad we got there early because it got busier towards the end of our dining experience. They have vegetarian, vegan options for appetizers and entrées. Portions were perfect. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a decadent dairy free dessert, which would have rounded out the experience. The server was wonderful and we would definitely go back.!

Hi Rayna, Thanks for the review! Glad that you were able to have a wonderful first time at our restaurant. We do apologize that we do not offer any dairy free dessert. We would like you to know that we are in the process of making changes to our menu and will be keeping you feedback in mind. Hope to have you with us again. - Big Fish & Open Range Team

We really enjoyed the YYC EXP menu at Big Fish & Open Range. All 3 courses were well put together and the food was well prepared. Service from David was excellent. Pacing of the meal was just what we hoped for and we enjoyed a very interesting conversation with him. Overall, a very good experience!
