My friend had the halibut which was great, however the seafood pasta I ordered was not good. The one bit of lobster was so incredibly over-cooked it was like cutting into rubber and the rest of the seafood (mussels, scallops, shrimp) weren't far behind it. The past was overcooked as well and the noodles disintegrated when my fork touched them making it a challenging meal to eat. Server was really nice but the meal left a lot to be desired.

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere. Our family tried it for the first time and can't wait to go again.

Nice spot downtown, but not downtown. Close to the greenery of the Bow River. It's a quieter place that beckons you to sit, stay, relax and enjoy the delicious food on offer. We had a nice lunch and then took the long way back to work. What a nice way to enjoy the moment.

We had a great dinner at Buchanan's Chop House. Mark our server was a wealth of knowledge on their extensive selection of whiskeys and our meals were all prepared perfectly.

We came on a Friday night and there was an extremely rude waiter. Since minute one, his behavior was bad and rude. He threw the to-go boxes to the table when we asked for them and was walking around saying rude words out loud every time he passed close to our table. It was the worst service ever. It's a shame because we've been here several times before because we enjoy the food but with this person I guess it'd be the last time we come. He should be fired immediately. Shame on him! Worst service attitude I ever have. Attached you can see a pic of him for your references.

We ordered a porterhouse for $144. We asked for medium rare but received a well done. The manager actually came over and told us we we wrong. Not happy at all.

A long-standing Calgary tradition for a reason, I hadn't been to Buchanan's in a number of years but have recently wandered in a few times as it's next door to our daycare.
The food is outstanding, no doubt about that. I love the burgers, and they are $15 during happy hour which is an insane deal for a lovely early dinner.
The service is always so wonderful and friendly, very welcoming to us and our toddler. Overall a great experience everytime.

There were only 3 tables occupied for dinner but It took 15 minutes for them to take our order, including drinks. Waiter forgot the salad we ordered. The steak was good but the vegetables were cold, fries were not hot either. Considering the cost of the meal, this was not good value or a good experience.

We went last night for dinner, and maybe I'm new to the party, but they have an awesome Friday night special. We shared a 29 ounce T-bone steak, wasabi caesar salad, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, and whisky peppercorn sauce. Meal for 2 cost only $99. We each got a dram of whisky from their massive collection for dessert, GlenAlacchie and Caol Ila (they have real dessert too - ha) Excellent service - friendly and professional to boot! We also sat on the west facing patio, watching the world go by, to/from the river pathway - so lovely.
5/5 Our food was really good. One issue. I ordered a Coke to drink but when I drank it, it was flat as hell. ZERO fizz. Get your pop machine fixed Buchanan's!!

Going downhill fast the last few months. Boss figures he got food poisoning here a few weeks ago. Then today I had my food served to me with a soaking wet wash cloth covering my food. Really lacking attention to details…. Will be taking a long break.

Service was excellent and the food was very good! A very good spot for our business lunch!

Good food overall. Service was a little slow. Steak size between 6 and 10 difference was huge. Otherwise good taste, ambience
