    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)

    Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the YYC EXP experience!! We'll be sure to pass your compliments along to our pastry chef, and we appreciate your note on the pesto. Hope to welcome you and your husband back again soon! 😊

    Everything was amazing and I would highly recommend The Bow Valley Ranche for a wonderful dining experience. We went for the YYC Food Experience and it was great value for the price. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious.

    We did the YYC Food Experience and it was incredible! The portions were perfect, the flavours were immaculate, and the server was just wonderful. The ambience was so romantic, though unfortunately it was quite noisy for an 8pm reservation. However, it didn’t negatively affect our experience. It was our first time there and cannot wait to go back again!
