Oxbow - Calgary, Alberta

The chef was excellent, and very open to amending dishes to accommodate allergies, of which we had 2 in our group. Wait staff was excellent - flexible and friendly. We wanted the patio but were wary of being cold. They had blankets ready. Excellent food and service!

It was the first time we had dined at Oxbow, and we were there to celebrate a big occasion for my husband. We could not have been more thrilled with how beautiful the whole experience was! My review is going to sound like it's littered with embellishments, but truly, it ... was that lovely of an experience. We had the chef's daily whim - it was possibly the best dining experience either of us have ever had! Everything was made to perfection and we were introduced to enchanting flavour combinations we did not even know existed! With a few dietary concerns, it can be a bit tricky to find a restaurant with an inclusive menu or that will respect any revisions you might need, but they were very careful and ensured we got exactly what we needed! The staff were also wonderful! Very attentive, professional, friendly, and accommodating. When my husband entered the restaurant, they came out to congratulate him! They made us BOTH feel so special the entire night, even though it was my husband's celebration. Beautiful people - please leave them generous tips!! The restaurant was pristine, and the atmosphere quiet and cozy. We now recommend this restaurant at every opportunity we get. :) Read more

We had reservations there for Valentine's Day. Was seated in the lounge instead of the dinning room. They were out of the oxbow confit duck wings and baked brie en brioche. We settled for the ricotta gnudi. The appetizer took a while to come and so did the main course. ... It was his first time there and he didn't have a great experience. It could be because it was Valentine's Day and they weren't prepared for it. Read more

Beautiful experience at Oxbow, the service was fantastic, wait staff was available to caterer for your every need. The seared Duck was filled with so much flavor, Salmon needed a bit more razzle dazzle but it was still really good, cooked to perfection. The armchair tourist game on the television ... also made it a lovely experience. Valentine’s Day dinner at a wonderful restaurant. Read more

It was a great experience at this restaurant. It’s small and the service was very good! The food choice isn’t big, but should satisfy everyone. They have gluten free options both for food and deserts. Great wine and cocktail list. I want to point out to the service, it was very good, very ... nice people working at this place. Location is good and parking isn’t an issue with public parking across the street. The atmosphere was nice and quiet with a nice music somewhere on the background. A perfect place for a date or some family dinner. We will be back to try other food (which is always seasonal here). Read more
