The setting is stellar as you drive into Fish Creek Park and there ahead on the right is the restaurant. It is a restored 1901 ranch house and has been open as a restaurant for ten years. The ambience is charming and takes you back to a forgotten past. The menu is up-to-date as is the wine and beverage list. The staff were prompt, friendly and informative. Our party variously chose beetroot salad, a soup of the day, lamb shank, cod, and pork roast. All were excellent, variously buttery (cod), melt in your mouth (lamb) as was the pork dish. All the desserts were excellent. We'll be sure to return to this gem on the south side of Calgary.

Celebration for my mother's birthday. Challenging to get to the restaurant for someone with limited mobility but we did it. Food was fresh, staff who serviced gave great descriptions, and libations were premium. Menu isn't deep in breadth but what they serve is excellent. Will return.
