I almost hesitated in writing this review because it is getting hard to get a reservation on Monday nights. It is two for one oyster night and they always have an impressive array of fresh oysters from both coasts. We have probably eaten there a total of a dozen or more times over the past three years. They haven't changed... More

We reserved a table for the Saturday morning brunch and good job we did as the place filled up pretty quickly. The brunch menu was a refreshing change to the usual fare offered in Calgary and there are equal fish/no fish dishes to suit everyone. They offered a daily special (which was delish), and all the other dishes on our... More

I've been here a couple of times in the last month and it just seems to be a so so experience. The service is good, the apps are good if not great but the selection is too small and lacking for my taste. There are better seafood restaurants in Calgary that this one and offer more selections with far better... More

Yes this sounds strange in a Restaurant called Big Fish but its attached to a Bigger Restaurant called Open Range which is one of the best places in Calgary for Meat. Big Fish has a separate kitchen and make a great Bison Burger. And make sure you get some homemade yam chips.

The chairs are a little hard... for my taste... but really - of all the fish I have made for me all around the world, the flavors coming out of this kitchen will keep me coming back again and again... I recommend this place very highly.

My partner and I visit this great restaurants most Monday evenings when we are living in Calgary. Monday is 2 for 1 oyster night, and they are always fresh and wonderful-tasting. I have tried their steamed mussels (superb) and everyone who eats with us at this restaurant has always loved the food. With no exception. They also have an excellent... More

Owned by the same people who run the so-popular-you-have-to-stand-in-line Diner Deluxe, Big Fish offers an excellent brunch. The eggs benedict (served with Dungeness crab or steak or vegetarian), the trout sandwich or the trout hash with soft poached eggs, omelets, everything is excellent. It's been our go-to brunch destination for a couple of years now. And you have a chance... More

Excellent place for brunch with very unique menu items like duck hash, crab omelet, rainbow trout and more. I've sample half of the menu and everything is delicious. Service is also very good and the environment is very laid back and casual. Stand out restaurant amongst brunch alley along the Edmonton Trail strip.
