We had a group of 5 for lunch and Cheryl couldn't have been any better. When we explained we were not in a hurry, she let us take our time and was most attentive. Food and drinks were great

Extremely mediocre food.
We ordered 2 food items, both were wrong.
The burger was less than mediocre, it had an old dry bun not brioche like the menu stated.
Greg saved the day by comping one of the two wrong items
I’d heard such good things about The Shoe and Canoe, maybe it was just a bad night.
I would truly not go back to this restaurant.

Average experience, nothing too spectacular but nothing awful. Quality of food was average and I sort of expected a bit more from a hotel like the delta.

Sat at the bar and service again was average, not great. I didn’t order any drinks, but saw them mixing lots, I felt like the drinks were lazy.

This is a good restaurant if you don’t want to leave the hotel - otherwise I will try another place in the area.

We came here for brunch on Monday and was really disappointed. The menu was already overpriced for what you actually get, and to make it worse, they were out of the dish I ordered. I had to change my order last minute, and what I ended up with was just average at best — definitely not worth the cost. The portions were small, and nothing really stood out as memorable. For the price point, I expected better quality and availability. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back for brunch here.

Thank you Melanie!! After a trip to the harry Hays building we were hungry and tired and the Marriot saved us. We had flat bread and a buttermilk chicken sandwich with a glass of wine within 45 min. The food was great. But the side salad was incredible! Blueberries, squash, pepitas, parm, cashews, strawberries in a classic vinaigrette on mixed geeens. Our server was fabulous. Don’t forget this place tucked into a Calgary classic hotel it is warm and welcoming.

Came for breakfast. Food was quite good. Service was good. Prices on the online Google menu are dramatically different than the actual prices. Perhaps it could use an update.

Went here on a Friday night on a long weekend with friends and I had a great time here. The food and drinks were good, the server was wonderful and we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. It wasn't packed so not too noisey. They continued to serve water and be welcoming even after we were done food and drinks. So we stayed and chatted for a while. I thought the water service was generous of them.. I'll be going back with friends. Thanks Shoe and Canoe peeps for helping make a wonderful night out.

Had a nice early dinner before heading to a candlelight music concert. Did not realize the restaurant is the Delta's hotel restaurant. The decor was warming as we set next to the fireplace. Service was great and as it was happy hour you could have the house wine for $9 for 9 oz or $6 for 6 oz ~ no real decision there! We started with the wings, which were warm and delicious with the sweet chilie sauce and blue cheese ranch. Ordered the crispy tofu and asparagus bowl and my husband had the braised short beef. His portion was small for the price, while my bowl was more than I could eat. I would go back for the happy hour items for sure.

Lovely waitress. She was the only server and was very pleasant and capable even though you could tell she was stressed

We shared beef poutine a side salad and a wonderful brownie desert. Lovely red toscana wine. Great service. Nice atmosphere in the area near the fire
