   We went for high tea. Everything was wonderful. Cucumber sandwich could have had just a bit more cream cheese. Scones and marmalade was fantastic as were all of the desert items. Would highly recommend.

   Sorry. Just not impressed. The food was extremely small portions for the price and flavour did not hit. Bison tartar and tuna was bland with no acidity. I had to ask for lime to try and improve it. We specifically asked how many scallops came in the main meal. She said they were the big ones and usually at least 5 she’s even seen six. We got 3. No effort to correct just offered bread to fill up on. To be fair the bread is great! But still for the price you’re paying here it’s not to the level you would expect. The service was meh. We had to call her over every time and although she was pleasant but we had to constantly ask other bussers and servers for things. Then when bill came she stands over you while the machine starts at an 18% tip. It’s been a very long time since any of us ad been here. And I think it will be a very long time before we go again.

   We absolute enjoyed every bit of our dining experience here. Service from beginning to end was excellent with our server having a thorough understanding of the menu, helping with recommendations and providing detailed answers to any questions. She was courteous and attentive and at no point did we feel that she was rushed or we were being rushed, our dinner was set at the perfect place. Every bite of food was excellent.. we highly recommend the grilled ctopus... Super flavorful, had a slight bit of char that was amazing and was probably our favorite dish of the evening. Our experiences with restaurants around the city have been rather hit or missly, so this was a very, very pleasant experience and we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!!

   I recently celebrated my husband's 40th birthday at Bow Valley Ranche, and it was truly a memorable experience. I had made a reservation and requested a special spot for the occasion, which they graciously provided. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and the ambiance set the perfect tone for a special evening. Our server, Dana, was fantastic—attentive, friendly, and ensuring that everything was just right. The food was absolutely outstanding. The soup of the day was creamy and delicious, setting the stage for the meal to come. We ordered the cod dish and the rotisserie chicken, both of which were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. Every course, from appetizer to dessert (the baked Alaska was a showstopper!), was a delight. We had such a wonderful experience that we’re already planning to return during the spring or summer. I highly recommend Bow Valley Ranche for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion. It truly exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the evening. Oh I want to say a big thanks for theHAPPY BIRTHDAY SONGS!! Thank you guys a lot.

   One of our favorite places to dine. Beautiful spot! Wonderful service, excellent dishes and a great selection of wine. We tried the Baked Alaska dessert for the first time and it was soooooo good! Looking forward to our next visit.

   Overall the evening was very good and I really love this place. My husband and I tried YYC and were surprised by the variety of dishes. There are a few comments: the pesto pasta was very rich in pesto and the taste was oversaturated. Everything else is very interesting, especially the dessert. The dessert was just like a work of art, and I am incredibly grateful to the pastry chef for such a delicious job)
