Thank-you for giving me the opportunity for feedback. This was my first visit but a repeated visit for my guests. I reserved a table for four a week in advance. I tried to call during opening hours but there was no answer so booked the table online. Easy and convenient. I received an email confirming my reservation with an accurate date and time. Two hours before the reservation, I received a text message confirming the reservation. Upon arriving the 'Greeter' had no reservation in my name. I showed her the text and she said she'd have to discuss with the manager. Thankfully, it was a Sunday evening and a table was available. The staff was friendly and attentive. The appetizer was amazing as were the salads. The Sunday night roast beef special although pleasing to the eye upon presentation was underwhelming in terms of the cut. I will try another item at the Fence and Post again when time permits.

I have lunch with friends or family at Fence & Post fairly frequently. The food is invariably freshly prepared and of high quality: I find the fish and chips to be among the very best . Service is first rate - very attentive to allergies etc. The atmosphere is pleasant but I find the "background" music is often irritatingly loud and makes conversation a bit difficult for seniors like me with hearing aids.

Dietary restrictions: One of my frequent guests has gluten issues and is very happy with the range of gluten-free options. I have some food allergies and the servers are always most careful to check with the kitchen.

Parking: Parking in downtown Cochrane can be very difficult - it is almost entirely free street parking. It will usually be possible to find a spot within a couple of blocks, but this can be problematic for those of us with limited mobility.

Kid-friendliness: This is not really a "family" restaurant, and it does not cater to younger kids - although I sometimes take my two teenage granddaughters and everything is just fine

Wheelchair accessibility: It is possible to get a wheel chair in to the restaurant, but there is not much space for one once in. I do use an electric wheelchair on occasion but I have never actually tried to bring it in too the restaurant.

They were very short staffed which had an impact as the restaurant was extremely busy. But the food and service was as usual excellent.

An amazing experience, perfect dinner service from arrival to departure. Service staff (Zaneta) was wonderful, snacks & appetizers (garlic balloon) were fantastic, main dishes (especially bison) were top notch as were the cocktails and dessert. Everything was amazing and this place should be on the do not miss list.

A lovely, unique, high quality, delicious restaurant. My daughter and I came in for the trick or treat event in the downtown and appreciate the participation. The staff were so excited to see her and all this helped make her first trick or treating experience extra special. I know it may seem like kids and parents just pass through the stores for this event but it's a very nice gesture that doesn't go un noticed for future. We will be back! Thank you very much.
