Dine on fresh sustainably-sourced seafood, wild game meats and more. Our casual setting and inviting atmosphere is ideal for grabbing a bite to eat with friends or family.

Big Fish offers food such as a seafood chowder, smoked oyster sliders or chili-glazed frog legs that make for flavorful appetizers. Guests can feast on an entrée of pan-roasted walleye with wilted spinach, fish tacos topped with tomato-mango salsa or a lamb and lobster burger. An oyster bar as well as delicious house-made desserts are also available.

Open Range embodies the essence of our city; cutting edge, but comfortable and unpretentious. Open Range mixes modern with tradition, serving every cut you would expect but preparing them with interesting variations of flavours. We offer locally raised beef, elk, bison and game prepared in an easy going Southwestern style. We are one of Calgary's premier steakhouses with multiple awards and accolades.

They didn't have our reservation set up but the hostess got things organized quickly so we didn't wait long. Server was excellent and had good recommendations for wine with the meals. The only issue with the food was that the ribeye wasn't up to the Quality you'd usually see for an $80 steak.

Was with a small group to celebrate a birthday. We were thoughtfully seated in a private alcove where we wer e able to be boisterous without disturbing other patrons. The pot-au-feu is a great dish, hearty and tasty. The meats were cooked to our taste. Service was personalized. A good evening out if needing a seafood fix. Kudos

Enjoyed an early dinner with family, we have had lots of greats meals at the Marda Loop location. Some of us had really good meals but some of us our meals were a bit off. The peel and eat shrimp was delicious. The cod was overcooked and a bit dry. The fish and chips were very over cooked. The bison ribs were very tender and got rave reviews. It’s too bad some of us didn’t have a great experience tonight

Excellent food. Would’ve liked to have been in dining room instead of the back area. Maybe some more ambience in there? Great server. Will be back

We went here as a family of 6 for an 86th birthday. It was our first time and we were pleasantly surprised. Great menu with lots of options, warm inviting room and we were greeted right away. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was refreshingly great. Overall, great food and great service. We'll be back again.
