Dine on fresh sustainably-sourced seafood, wild game meats and more. Our casual setting and inviting atmosphere is ideal for grabbing a bite to eat with friends or family.

Big Fish offers food such as a seafood chowder, smoked oyster sliders or chili-glazed frog legs that make for flavorful appetizers. Guests can feast on an entrée of pan-roasted walleye with wilted spinach, fish tacos topped with tomato-mango salsa or a lamb and lobster burger. An oyster bar as well as delicious house-made desserts are also available.

Open Range embodies the essence of our city; cutting edge, but comfortable and unpretentious. Open Range mixes modern with tradition, serving every cut you would expect but preparing them with interesting variations of flavours. We offer locally raised beef, elk, bison and game prepared in an easy going Southwestern style. We are one of Calgary's premier steakhouses with multiple awards and accolades.

    Everything was good except for 2 things. The clam chowder was underwhelming. it lacked flavor and was watery. the lamb was dry. my wife stated that it tasted overcook. seem like it was not fresh and that they added gravy to mask it. aside from those 2 things everything else was good. The duck and bison ribs were very good. Service was great.

    Our waiter was excellent and the YYC EXP menu is a great value. My husband enjoyed his full meal and I ordered off the menu. Lots of selection and close to home a bonus!

    It was our first time eating here and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. We were a party of four. We started with fried calamari and fresh east coast and west coast oysters for appetizers. One of us had the fresh BC mussels, another had the strip loin steak, another had the mixed seafood linguine, and the last had the seafood pot au feu, Although our tummies were quite full and happy, we decided to "look" at the desserts. Looking ended up ordering the shortcake cookie and lemon crème brule, which we shared. Yummy. Our server was prompt but not overbearing. We will be back.
