    Have to come back!

    The lamb and lobster is a delicious match with avocado and salsa. Lighter entree of seafood pot of feu soup in fish broth with melt in your mouth, fresh array of seafood is soooo good. Most satisfied with the homemade trio ice cream - especially the black cherry and cinnamon - not too sweet and not too creamy. Perfect dinner!

    Unique drinks & seafood dishes

    The restaurant is part of the group that owns Open Range & Diner Deluxe etc. and it did not disappoint in unique dishes & drinks on the menu. They actually put bits of grated truffles in their truffle lasagna (where most places infuses it with truffle oil only). Great little place - try their lillet cocktail too...not too many places in Calgary will have this :)

    Delicious Seafood and Oysters!

    This place is a favourite for us for any special occasion or just for a night out. Wednesday is bring your own wine night and free corkage! The place is small but very cozy so make sure you have reservations. The seafood is very fresh. We went there with another couple and shared the seafood platter and the candied trout jerky is delicious!

    First time visiting this restaurant. Came highly recommended so visited on New Year's Eve. It didn't disappoint. Nice to have a choice between seafood and meat menus. I had the Bison short ribs which were excellent. My wife and the bowl of clam chowder and fish and chips. Loved the chowder. Definitely will return.

    We were a group of four female friends who hadn't seen each other in quite some time. Big Fish & Open Range was a perfect spot. It's not a big place, so is really nice and cozy. The service was outstanding and with it being a smaller restaurant, this is one of the reasons the service is so good. The server was very attentive, yet not overbearing whatsoever; she left us alone to visit with very few interruptions. All the staff were very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant for brunch.

    This is the best kept secret in Calgary. The food is reasonably priced. The servers are marvellous at what they do, and make you feel at home. The quality of the food, and the depth of the menu will keep us coming back for a very long time.

    My boyfriend and I had a celebratory dinner here at Big Fish and Open Range yesterday. Our server Sam was absolutely amazing, sweet and hospitable She gave us great recommendations on both menus. I got the arctic char and my boyfriend had the bison short ribs. We shared a seafood platter and a lobster tail as well! Everything was super flavourful and fresh and delicious. I literally couldn’t pick a favourite part. We ate our heart out and we will DEFINITELY be back!

    With so many restaurants struggling to find their groove post covid, Big Fish is an oasis of perfection in a sea of mediocre. Professional wait staff, beautiful plates, and and eclectic mix of patrons made our visit complete. Little details are obviously thoughtfully considered, and we felt welcomed and attended to with minimal fuss or pretention. There is something for everyone on the menu, making this restaurant our most favourite place. We will be back, and we will tell our friends.
