86 Calgary / Southern Alberta Restaurants to Love This Valentine's Day

Always a wonder place to go, especially for a special occasion.

Good food and good service

Had a great experience last night ! The everyone’s food was amazing, and the service was great. Can’t wait to return.

We followed the servers recommendation and took down a tomahawk steak, served on a tree trunk, it was awesome, as well as the sides appetizer, wine and cocktails.

Great time

Everything was delicious. Our group had the margarita, empanadas, burger, steak, pizza and cheesecake and everything was amazing. Service was great as well. Will definitely be back.

we always have good food and service. that's why we keep going back.

Fun little date night spot. great cocktails and food. staff is friendly

Great lunch location. Outstanding food and service.

Great experience. Treated my son whose graduation was today with a complementary dessert. Real nice touch!

Best Primrib dinner & great salad bar!

Amazing experience. The River Cafe is not to be missed. The ambiance and aesthetic are beautiful, and the menu is diverse. We found the weekend brunch portions were huge and wonderfully paired with prosecco and cranberry juice. Staff are super friendly and try their best to create the best possible experience. The River Cafe is our go-to place for a memorable family dining experience.

Very pleasant evening- good service and great food.

We had a fantastic time, and the service and ambiance was great. We recently moved back to Lethbridge and was pleasantly surprised on the seating and the privacy you receive. And thanks to Kelsey! She was very attentive! Five stars all the way!

When to Pampa for a date night with my husband and I would recommend it for any occasion!

Speedy, attentive service, friendly wait staff, outstanding presentation and absolutely delicious food! Highly recommend, and will repeat.

Fun night. Great food.

Always the best experience at this location. We celebrated my birthday and it was the perfect end to my day. Our waitress was sweet and attentive

Great service. Food is always delicious

Went here for my birthday dinner. The place has a nice atmosphere and an extensive wine list. The food was fresh and prepared with care. Definitely on my list of go to places for high quality Italian food.

We were in a private room and although the service and food was excellent the vibration in the floor was very distracting and it took a while to learn to ignore it. Other than that, we enjoyed our experience at this wonderful restaurant and will definitely return.

I took my girlfriend out for a dinner date for our fifth anniversary and we had an absolute blast! The cocktails were well balanced and came quickly, the calamari was unique and unlike anything I had ever tried before. My partner loved her entree and the gnocchi I had was modern without being too over the top. The best part of the evening by far was the tiramisu. If you come here for anything at all, come for the tiramisu. I’m probably gonna be dreaming about that dessert for the rest of time. Thank you for the lovely date night, and we hope to come back again soon!

Beautiful experience. Katia was an extraordinary server: knowledgeable and professional. Bryant played and sang, taking us back to a time when people dined, not just ate. The French 75 were exquisite—very hard to craft correctly & they were flawless. The staff were all discreet and attentive. Wine list is amusingly overpriced but you can find a few interesting varietals. Originally sat in the dining room but it has a very corporate feel and windows that look onto a busy street. Moved the lunge which has more ambiance, albeit TVS. It’s almost the perfect classic NYC steakhouse; just needs a bit more ambiance. Still my favourite place to dine in yyc.

Great food, amazing staff , highly recommended. You wouldn't regret it

We were served quickly and efficiently. Our server was knowledgeable and helpful.

I love this place! It's always amazing. The food is great and the owner is always there to make sure your having a great time!

Best meal and service we have ever had would recommend this to anyone. The staff is all top notch

Excellent! Would recommend! Will be back!

Food and atmosphere were great. There could be a better scotch selection. I wasn't a fan of the service. While they did their job, I found the servers to have snotty attitudes and they were slightly rude.

BM is a superb and very attentive host. Our party was quite spellbound by his stories.

As usual, food and service were fantastic. Our waitress was very knowledgeable.

Food was amazing.... drinks were fantastic... service amazing as well

Amazing service with a great menu for all members of your dining party. Excellent service.

The food and service are consistently amazing.

We had such an awesome time in the lounge. We went earlier before a show at Vertigo Theatre. Had great service from Rebecca while sitting at the bar. Went to our show, and then came back. There was an awesome singer performing, so we stayed and enjoyed the rest of our evening. Thanks folks - it made our day!

Great place near Fairmont Palliser.. bar tables give you great view of pedestrian street.. Entertaining ..people watching

Selkirk Grille has been our go to lunch restaurant for several years now! Close to home, always up to standard and we like the fact that dishes represent all areas of Canada!! Most herbs come from the Heritage Park gardens, right outside the kitchen! Highly recommended!!

Outstanding! The perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary!

Anniversary

Great food and service. Staff was friendly and the food came quickly.

The food & service was excellent and I believe everyone from my family felt the same.

Excellent service. Good food, amazing deserts.

All around amazing! Great experience from entrance to exit. Food was phenomenal

I went for my birthday and was very warmly welcomed! I ordered the prime rib and it was FANTASTIC! My girlfriend ordered steak and it was good, but a bit bland. The service was amazing! There was only one washroom working which was a bit inconvenient but overall I would say 4.5/5. I love how many gluten free options there were. I’d have liked to see a bit more dairy free options but that’s a me problem haha. It was really good. We will definitely be going back!!

sonny was the best server i have ever had there

We will most definitely recommend and return! Great drinks too!!

The promo for the sapporo pitcher was misleading. It says the food that they were giving on the side is “unlimited” but it really wasn’t. And our server was sarcastic when we tried to asked her again for this promo. She made us look like we don’t understand the promo at all. Next time DO NOT put the “unlimited” sign if you won’t do it at all!!!

Great hospitality, engaging and helpful restaurant staff. Great location in town.

Food was good - service not great!

Unique, beautiful food. Lovely environment, well paced service for the tastings. And delicious!

Great food and drinks. Everything that hit the table tasted great, a bit disappointed in the prices however. A pint of bud light for $11 is… rough. Also the chicken tacos were great, but not worth 15.50 for two tacos. For fish maybe, but chicken? Overall a great experience, but probably won’t be back unless happy hour is on.

Our favourite place to meet as friends for lunch. Good food and affordable prices. Service is very good.

Food quality was excellent, very tasty, and hot. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. We will return.

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in recent memory.

Absolutely fantastic fine dining, elegant wonderful fresh seasonal food and exquisite wine pairing, gracious service, and one of the most amazing views of any restaurant I have ever experienced. This restaurant is expensive…and well worth it.

Awesome place to check out! Will be back soon. Great food and great service 👍

Amazing food service and waitresses are awesome. Never had a bad meal.
