Received a gift card for our wedding so went there with friends for lunch. Meal was great as was the service. When we gave our card for payment they couldn't take it as they had a new system that couldn't read the card.The second time I took a friend for lunch. I made reservations. We were early for our table so they sat us at the bar. After we arrived there were three other groups of two that came in and were promptly seated. We were offered coffee but had to ask for a drink list. Finally a full 20 minutes after our reservation time I asked the gentleman working there how much longer we would have to wait. He said he was going to ask those other people to leave. Took a least another 10 minutes until we were seated.We ordered immediately as did another table beside us. That table received their food (all main courses) before we were served our first course of a small salad. The other thing I noticed was we were given the YYC experience menu and the Big Fish menu but not the open range menu. Over all the food was good but I was very disappointed in the service. I wonder how long we would have waited had I not mentioned anything.Dietary restrictions: There were no gluten free options for the YYC menu but last time I was there they had options for the open range menuParking: Small lot behind restaurant. When full you have to park on 10th ave

I hate having to post this but we no longer patronize to Big Fish due to a server who has worked there for as many years as I have been going there. He is middle aged with moustache and absolutely the rudest server/host we have ever encountered. We had always put up with his complete indiffernece to his patrons and lack of tableside manner mainly due to everything else about Big Fish being awesome. The last straw was last year when we entered for our brunch reso and he stood there looking at us blankly. We stated our name and reso time and he replied with a scowl and something to the effect of, "Wouldn't it be better to start off with a 'good morning'?" Wow??. I have lived in the Bridgeland/Renfrew area for almost 20 years, ate there with family and friends for dinners and brunches for more times that I can count over that time. Please let us know if he ever moves on... and we'll be back!

As someone who just moved to Calgary, I looked on the internet for a good place for fish and chips, which my daughter eats all the time in Halifax Nova Scotia, and I found this place. I ordered shrimp lasagna, my daughter and my husband ordered fish and chips. The food was good, but the service was not very good.The middle-aged waiter who with glasses brought our bill and post machine but never came to us again. This rude behavior continued as we left. Although we said thank you and have a nice day a few times, he only said "bye" with his back turned and an indifferent attitude. This rudeness hurt us a little.

I love going to Big Fish for brunch. I always expect it to be incredibly busy. Don’t get me wrong… They are steady, but just busy enough that we always have excellent personable service, and I dream of the food which includes plenty of not-your-average brunch offerings. They accept reservations, and there’s no waiting in line! It’s quiet and peaceful and delicious.

I recently stopped in for lunch at the Big Fish & Open Range. I used to come to both establishments more frequently many years ago. Now both restaurants have consolidated into one space (The Big Fish) side, whilst still offering both menus to peruse and order from. The space in very open and warm.We were welcomed with a delicious amuse-bouche featuring a prawn on a tostado. We then ordered a couple of appies to start. The calamari and steak bites. The steak bites were actually quite tasty, seasoned well and cooked to our liking (medium rare). The calamari was mediocre I had expected a better plate from a seafood restaurant. For my main I ordered the tenderloin, Chicago style medium rare. I must admit that it was underwhelming. The cut of meat itself seemed mediocre. I’ve had better steaks from this restaurant in the past. The mushroom ragú that accompanied the steak was a little too sweet for my liking. My friend ordered the fish and chips, but subbed the chips for salad. He thoroughly enjoyed his meal. All of the dishes were platted well with a touch of flare which I appreciate. Although my meal didn’t meet the standards that were previously set by this establishment. I will be back for dinner sometime in the future. I’ll chalk up this experience, to an off day.
Ordered fish and chips. Were very good, the batter was crispy and felt light, the fish was perfect. There were less chips than expected, were really good though!Will go back

This one star is only for the guy who served our table (weighted guy). Overall food was nice. Atmosphere was good.He was rude and unprofessional. Since the restaurant was ful, he was very rude to the customers. I was so embarrassed infront of my colleagues due to his behavior. I hope he will change his behavior after my this review. Thanks

Walk into a perfect intimate room with impeccable service two gentlemen will handle it all. We started with warm oysters and got the feature sirloin and boar chop so savoury and sweet worth every bite.

The fish was perfectly cooked. It was so moist and soft that it melted in my mouth. The balance of the dish was so good with the right sauce and the right garnish. Have a great selection of drink menu, too. Tried a few cocktails, all good. wanna try all cocktails. Better to book beforehand, tho. Definitely going again.

we just left the restaurant, easily the worst meal and service we’ve had in Calgary. Our server was terribly rude the entire time, the meal was tasteless and a pile of dirty dishes left on the table the whole time. Three servers were standing at the door chatting with eachother when we left, not one person even acknowledged us.
