We held a party here for my boot camp clients on a Sunday night for about 25 people. Jason was really wonderful to us, from planning the party with me, to communicating in a timely and helpful manner, to ensuring we were well taken care of that night. The food was delicious and the gluten-free options were perfect. Our awesome server Marisol was attentive, professional, and lovely. The Park has a great vibe and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Plus we love the tree! It's such a great menu too, with beautiful food, lots of tasty gluten-free options, and big fat chicken wings in delicious flavours! Having enjoyed this restaurant as a private diner, and a party member, I can say that they are absolutely consistent with their food and service. I happily recommend them and will definitely be back for more!
The Park is amazing. Food and service plus the patio is absolutely perfect. I love coming here. Oh and the kids menu has an option of salmon, which blows my mind. My son loved it so much! I Highly recommend eating at The Park.
Really good food, margaritas are worth the extra drive! Service as been great, this is our “go to” place. Thank you for being awesome!
We had the caprese salad, dry ribs, steak and the Santa fe chicken. Everything was delicious with fabulous flavors. Our waitress was attentive and kind. Even the kids Mac and cheese was gourmet! I'm tired of always going to the Keg as a nice place to eat. This will be a new choice for date night!
The Park is one of my favorite places for special occasions and to take out of town visitors too. Service is excellent and the food is always of great quality. Lovely atmosphere and staff go above and beyond to make sure your meal is enjoyable.
My husband and I found The Park about a year ago and it has become one of my favourite places to eat. Last night we tried ordering using Skip the Dishes for the first time. Before we even received the food, I got a call from The Park saying our food was on it's way but they realized there was an error with the order so they wanted to bring us the correct food. I was extremely impressed with the customer service and makes me like The Park even more!
Food was great, service was excellent. Tuesday is kids eat free so awesome bonus. Manager sent us a complimentary dessert and my kids both agreed the Nutella Won tons were on of the best things they had ever eaten. We will for sure be back. Kids would like to see a burger on the kids menu.
Awesome valentines menu!! Great service!! Amazing staff and well managed.
Well worth it!!
This place is awesome & great food. Have never had bad food or bad service. Try the lobster tacos...... so yummy!
Excellent restaurant. Good food reasonable prices and nice decor. Tuesday’s special included pizza for $12. Excellent. The fish and chips was truly a great dish. Huge portions.
Excellent pub/restaurant that struck a perfect balance between the two. The interior is beautiful resembling a community park with a big tree as a focal point. The music was not too loud to drown out your conversation (which seems to be trending in this city). The food was excellent. My partner and I both got the breakfast scramble and had the brie appetizer which I highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

Decor:
clean and nice ambiance. Easter Sunday lunch and surprised that there was only a handful of tables.
Service:
very friendly and attentive staff. not just our server, but also the hostess attended to us quite regularly. and both were quite pleasant.
Price: very fair
Starter:
Calamari - ok... a weird mix of "non-committal" flavourings. served on a bed of marinara sauce, topped with black olives, shaved parmesan cheese and arugula, and a side of tzaziki sauce and a lemon wedge... is it italian? is it greek? is it create your own flavours? if so, the marinara should also have been served on the side. marinara doesn't go with tzaziki. add to that the batter wasn't crispy all the way through, doughy in the middle. don't think i'd order this again.
Chicken & Waffles - a pretty decent take on the traditional recipe. instead of regular maple syrup, there's a maple bourbon butter sauce that tasted more like a buttery caramel sauce, instead of butter and hot sauce, there's a sort of spicy whipped cream they called chipotle cream. all in all, quite good. the best part of this dish wash how the chicken was cooked perfectly. tender and juicy, not over cooked and dry as sometimes chicken tenders tend to be. easily our favourite dish today.
Brussel Sprouts - cooked in a balsamic and honey concoction... really disgusting... nothing about this was good. the brussel sprouts themselves were overdone, but the worst part is the balsamic and honey. these flavours just plain don't go together. at first we thought it was too sweet, so the waitress brought us another one, but it didn't help. the whole thing was just plain wrong. feel like whomever is in charge of the menu is just plain trying too hard to be creative. a big miss here. the menu stated "Tender brussel sprouts fried with bacon, pecorino, balsamic crema, garlic & lemon", but you couldn't taste bacon at all. all you could taste was the overpowering balsamic. maybe the worst thing i've ever eaten anywhere. just really bad.
Entree:
Wild Mushroom Pizza - all the ingredients were of the usual fair for a mushroom arugula pizza with truffle oil, however, the execution was off. we've had this dish all over the place. from Famoso's to Via Cibo to pretty much everywhere else. the difference is that, here, they put the shaved asiago on the pizza BEFORE baking it. what this does is turn the cheese into a hard and chewy mess. others got it right to put the parmesan on after baking. much softer and way more appetizing. this method made me not want to have another slice after the first one. asiago and other hard cheeses don't melt and become soft like a mozzarella, that's why others don't bake it.
Steak and Eggs - asked for rare and they baked it. quite often, restaurants have trouble making a rare steak. it'll usually be over cooked or completely too cold in the middle. this was done well. probably helps that it's a very thin steak. fantastic grill marks and tasty. only issue was that the menu states that the meal was served with a side of fruit. if you look at the picture, you will see two small chunks of cantaloupe and a sprig of grapes. that's all. a bit dissatisfied with that. plus the playing was nothing special. good thing the steak was good. eggs were also poached perfectly.
Breakfast Scrambler - this was good. or t least good enough. nothing too special. but done well. only issue, it was super hot (temperature wise). it was served on a hot plate that was so amazingly hot, the first bite burned the somer's tongue and kept so long intake the meal. once we were done, you could feel how hot the table under the skillet had been. not just warm, but after half an hour or more of sinking, the table was surprisingly hot.
Overall, the food was just average, except the chicken and waffles, that was quite good. pizza was disappointing and the the brussel sprouts was not edible at all. we'll likely give this another try, but pay closer attention to the menu when ordering so as to stay away from the more "creative" dishes. i think if you stick with the known, you won't be as likely to be disappointed.
*** props to the manager for comping our Brussel Sprouts. that was unexpected, but certainly appreciated. classy.
Checked out this place after taking the dog to south land/carburn park. Has a very nice interior and layout. The server was friendly and knew the specials. Husband ordered the Cajun chicken club and I ordered the daily special which was a corned beef panini. The side mac and cheese was very good, husband liked his sandwich and the corned beef panini was great. Could taste all the ingredients from the garlic aioli to the onions to the mushrooms and the corned beef. We were both too full for dessert so didn't have any but imagine it would be good. Will definitely be back to check out brunch.

I've driven by this place quite a few times and never gave it a chance so just today I decided to pop in with a friend and try them out for a late lunch or early dinner.
I had ordered the I he tuna tacos with a side of Caesar salad and had a Belgian Moon pint of beer. My friend had the Surf & Turf burger with sweet potato yam fries.
I didn't try the burger but I did have some of his fries and they were fried to perfection being definitely sweet and perfectly crisp. The tuna tacos were equally as good as they were hiding a little bit of Ginger crunch in the middle and was not overly sauced.
The Caesar salad was also good but you can't really mess up chopped lettuce unless you over unless you over sauce it which they did not. Even the croutons tasted light and fluffy yet crispy as you can tell they were made in house and not from a big or store box. Washing it down with that Belgian pint of beer was quite nice.
Adding to the experience was a really nice interior and great service. They had a fake tree in the bar. The tree itself with a really nice prop peace that made me think of a Rainforest Cafe except more mature and sophisticated.
Definitely going back to try more great items on the menu. Would recommend this place to anyone who likes a nice clean modern dining space.
Came here the Sunday of the long weekend. It's a really great space. Lovely decor. There are lots of places for big groups. Service was great, really friendly and quick.
5 of us got the Sunday feature, prime rib. It came with garlic mash, steamed broccoli, and Yorkshire pudding. Broccoli was cooked perfectly, garlic mash was very tasty. Prime rib was also very well cooked. Yorkshire pudding was a bit sweeter than I've ever had before but I like sweet and savoury so I didn't mind.
Would definitely go to this restaurant again. There were a number of things on the menu I'd be interested in trying.
First time to this restaurant for my birthday. It was super spacious with tons of booth seating which I like. The menu has a variety of different options and prices were reasonable. I got the ahi tuna entree which was sesame crusted with bok choy and rice and came with a tangy, spicy sauce. Very good and a great portion too. My hubby got the Fresno burger and he really enjoyed it. Finished and shared the raspberry chocolate ganache and bottled cheesecake with my family. Totally recommend the cheesecake but it had a lot of whipped cream. Totally had to work off the calories. Definitely would come back again.
Really great service!! Brook was top notch, just like my top nachos!! Would come here again and again and again. I do recommend this place thoroughly.
Just came here for Mother's Day brunch and was totally impressed! Our server, Kristi, was very attentive and just a doll. The spread was delicious, not a ton of options like some hotel brunches but unlike those brunches most items were homemade and high quality. It was great to see the owners serving up the food. You can tell they really take pride in their business. I will definitely be going back to The Park to try some of their other delicious dishes.
Beautiful spot! Love love love the decor... You will see for yourself from the moment you walk in. They also have a good size patio, I can't wait to go back this summer. Menu is huge with tons of options making The Park a great location for any group! Everyone was left satisfied and happy with the endless choices. Cold beer on tap too.. Can't go wrong!

"What a wonderful walk in the park! "
We visited the park on Saturday night and we were blown away! We had previously booked a reservation at a different place down town for a suprise birthday, and they ended up cancelling on us so we decided to call The Park. We have been wanting to go there since it re opened, so We called a week in advance and they were more than happy to take our reservation for a Saturday night . They set us up with a beautiful table away from everyone else that was dining in there at the time. This was really nice because it allowed us to mingle without interrupting other people's dinner . We proceeded to tell Courtney, the waitress that we were in a very big hurry because we had tickets to a show. She did a wonderful job getting out food out to us in a timely manner and kept our drinks full as we dinned and was very friendly and welcoming towards us. Now if I could pick just one thing that I love about this place the most is the food !!!! It was phenomenal. I had the rib eye and I can say hands down... One of the best steaks I have ever had, I highly recommend it to anyone that goes there. I would say this place is a definite new Favorite for our family, we love the upscale atmosphere and food! Keep up the wonderful work.
Came here for lunch and sat at the bar and had great service from the female bartender. She made me feel at home . Food was decent, had the daily sandwich and soup and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the soup. Will be coming back for lunch next week and hope I get served by the same lady .
We have dined here 3 or 4 times and have always been impressed with the quality. Highly recommended if you appreciate carefully prepared food.
The Park offers above average food at an above average price. I ate here on an early Thursday evening for dinner with my wife and we both enjoyed it. They offer a fairly average pub style menu (burgers, pasta, pizza, sandwiches) with some twists. The food is fresh and bright as they focus on using local product for their dishes. I had the butter chicken which was very good and my wife ordered the quinoa salad and she said it was excellent. I remember when this place was called Baton Rouge before it suffered a fire in their utility room. The renovations look good as the bar area is very spacious and would be a great place to watch "the game."
Was here yesterday for lunch at noon. Its a big restaurant so you won't have any problem finding a table - though I made a reservation and I m glad I did because it was busy during lunch hour. Smart business crowd. Service was good. Food was decent - I had the pineapple chicken burger and my colleague had the quesadillas. Will come here again for lunch! Nice ambience.
Great Wings, and daily specials!
Although the quality of the food can sometimes be a little hit and miss, they serve elevated versions of standard pub food, with a few extra menu items that are sure to draw your attention.
The restaurant side is fairly kid friendly, and the bar/patio is a great place to have a few beers and enjoy some delicious wings.
Recently, the manager was nice enough to give us our first round of drinks on the house, because we rode our bikes to the restaurant. They are obviously trying hard to win over the locals, and are doing a pretty good job of it.
been here once and it was wonderful. the restaurant was so busy but the food and service was still on point! great food, great beer, and great atmosphere!
The food was good and the servers were polite and quick with taking orders and making sure that the right dishes were served to the appropriate guest. It is a little pricey though, even for its services and choice of menu, but the desserts are definitely awesome (in taste and in portion served!)
Glad The Park is open again after the flood. Great atmosphere and food. Panini was tandoori chicken and was excellent! The calamari in the other hand was over battered, dry and rubbery. We still love this place and will be back again soon!
Great place to get a bite to eat. Has a nice mix on the menu of a lot of great beers on tap. Excellent ambiance and great staff. My husband and I chose the chicken wrap. They were fresh and fairly flavorful.
This is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Calgary. It's beautiful, clean, food is delicious, drinks are good and the price is fair. The people are cool and the service is also great. What more could you want?
Much better than "the Park" was
A decent meal close to home. We live fairly close to The Park and had visited its previous incarnation, Baton Rouge, several times. Tonight was our first visit to The Park. It's a bright, clean and comfortable place. The menu (which can be found on their website) is extensive. Two of our party chose the chicken wrap. They were fresh and fairly flavourful. The side of carrot, ginger mint soup was a full size, rather than a cup. It was a light addition. The sweet potato fries were tasty, but like all the hot items, were not served hot enough. Two diners chose the lobster mac and cheese. The taste would have been enhanced had it been served hotter.
The server missed bringing a quinoa salad, but apologized promptly and removed it from the bill. One member of our group has special needs and the young server dealt with her in a respectful and polite manner.
Not the best restaurant on our list but based on proximity we will definitely visit again
It was Excellent. Our small group had a variety of items, they were all very good, and they were served promptly. The service was polite and appropriate. She was very good, our beverages never ran out, she was quietly present, and our food was appropriately hot. The dishes all received very good reviews, and the price is competitive. Overall an excellent experience.
Great food, beer, and service!!! 5 happy diners!!! Will return!!!. Although the website states "14 local and craft beer" the menu only has about 8 craft beers, 5 or so local. Nonetheless a good range from Village Blacksmith to Big Rock Grasshopper to Ranger IPA. The burgers (Veggie, Surf&Turf, and Pineapple), Fish & Chips, and Steak were all very tasty and a moderate size. The deserts (bread pudding and Nutella dumplings) were good, not great. The service was excellent and timely.
Great service and atmosphere, the decor was lovely as well.. Party of six really enjoyed our meals, steak, pastas and the beet salad was the favourite dish of the night! Will return for lunch menu soon.
Glad we went there. Excellent food
great service and décor
will be going back....soon
table for 5 -`average rating on various app and mains was 9/10
(calamari, dumplings, 1/2 rack ribs, wild mushroom pizza, lobster tacos, Thai salmon/mango salsa, roasted pepper penne'...cheesecake in a jar was great too)
AND THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS!
I Don't know how they do it. I don't know they do it, but every time I go to the Park It seems to get better and better. I'm always welcomed by friendly staff, amazing service, great value, and food that is always consistent .The only thing bothersome about the Park is that I don't eat out more often.
Fabulous Food. We've already been a handful of times and cannot say enough about the great service and even better food!
Make sure you try the Lobster Tacos and the Surf and Turf Burger! So yummy!
Great Place. I was blown away by the attention to detail. Apparently there is a new Chef whose also worked at some of the top establishments in Calgary and it really shows. If you haven't been here I would encourage you to try it out. You may just be positively surprised and this is coming from someone whose well travelled and knows a great place when he sees it.
Best Restaurant In Calgary. The bad reviews on here are ridiculous. I have been to this place many many times and will continue to go back. Best restaurant in Calgary in my opinion. Staff are very friendly, manager is always around checking on tables, food and drink menus are amazing! I recommend it to everyone and will continue to go regularly.
Impressed. Been to the Park a few times now and decided to write a review. Working in the area it's nice to have different lunch and after work options. I came for lunch when they first opened with a group of 6. It was a little bit of a wait but we excused it as they were new-I think it was their third day open-. Now we can be in and out quickly within our lunch hour. The food is great...they have a range of different options...LOVE all the big salads. Quinoa salad has been my fav so far. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the service has been very cheerful and attentive every time. The happy hour specials are great too. Overall, a great new addition to the area. Looking forward to belinis on the patio in the sun!
A very pleasant evening at the Park. We just wanted to have a simple celebration for our youngest son's birthday. We ordered a couple of drinks and decided to give the specials of the day a try: two lobster tacos, two seared ahi tuna tacos, a Reuben panino, the corn chowder and a Sumo burger with a side of sweet potato fries.
The new chefs at this recently inaugurated spot surpassed all our expectations:
The tacos were perfectly fresh and layered with unbelievable flavours. The balance between the mango salsa and the spicy aioli enhanced the fresh flavour of the seafood.
The fries were tempura battered to add a level of crispiness. The Reuben was dressed with a perfect combination of mustard and horse radish. The servings were just right.
If you want something sweet, try their cheese cake in a bottle... Not too sweet or saucy but perfect. We'll be back for sure...
The Park. We went to the Park restaurant for lunch at 12 noon on May 22/14. We were looking forward to eating on the patio and the 4 of us were on our lunch hour. We were seated on the patio at 12:10, got our order taken at 12:35 pm and food was served as we needed to leave at 1:15 pm. We took our food with us and we were not offered a discount on anything. We did not even have cutlery at that time. They had lots of excuses why they were so slow, but it wasn't good enough. When we got to eat the food, it was actually quite good, but did not make up for ruining our lunch time. Don't seat us if you cannot provide better service.
Down town in the burbs. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Food was good too: I had the meatball sandwich and my perpetually dieting gf had the quinoa salad: both were excellent. We ate during a Friday lunch, so we expected a bit of a wait.
Soooo Happy The Park is in Our Neighborhood. Hubs and I went to The Park on Mother's Day and we're very glad we did. What a change from the previous restaurant (Baton Rouge). The Park has taken the restaurant from dark and somewhat staid to a more open, bright and lively space. Love the new colors! You can tell everyone is really happy to be working there as soon as you walk in the door and are greeted with a smile. We were shown to our table immediately. Our server was friendly and efficient. We ordered the prime rib special, and although there was a bit of a problem with it, this was quickly rectified and everything tasted delicious. Even the manager Tony personally took care of it. They clearly want to make their customers happy. We were planning our trip back for oyster and wing nights before we even left the building. We're so looking forward to returning soon.
Good food good service. This was our first visit to The Park, it won't be our last. The menu has a good variety everything our table of 9 sampled was well received. Our server was attentive we never sat with empty glass's. it is good have another option in the south. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone
AWESOME!!!!. We noticed the Park was now open. Living in Riverbend, thought we would try it out, hoping for a good new neighborhood hang out. WOW!!! Awesome!! Great service, incredible food, and so much brighter and welcoming atmosphere then the last restaurant in there. Appie specials till 6:00 from Monday - Friday, Wednesday is 1/2 price wine night (and oysters) as well as a whole bunch of other daily features. I had the calamari and the Albertan Pizza and it was FABULOUS. Gourmet pizza FINALLY in the neighborhood. Anyone who hasn't tried it there yet, get going. You're going to find your new favorite place to go.
Way to go you guys! GOOD JOB.
Yum!

We went to The Park last night for dinner, and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner out to this new restaurant. A night out should leave you feeling happy and nicely full, and glad you spent some quality time with your dinning partner at a great restaurant. This Park is the perfect new restaurant for south east Calgary, I can guarantee you it is well worth your time and money.
The decor is awesome; its fun, fresh, and inviting. I loved the fabric pattern on the back the booth seats, bright and cheery. The olive tree in the bar gave the lounge a fun vibe, great choice! The music is a fusion of old and new, the perfect volume that you can enjoy it but don't have to speak over it. The lighting is well done and appeasing; lots of interesting light fixtures.
Customer service is outstanding, from the attentive servers to the hands on management. The manager stopped by our table a couple if times to check in and ask our opinions on our first impressions, how our service was and if we were satisfied by the food. He was sincere in asking for feedback on his new restaurant, and you can easily tell how greatly he cares to deliver an exceptional experience to his customers.
Most importantly the food and drinks. Shock Put was on special, so we tried this beer. Refreshingly flavourful and fruity. We loved everything we ordered, and can't wait to try more of the menu soon. For starters we had the BLT sliders and the lobster tacos. So delicious! The bacon in the slider is so mouthwatering good, I asked the manager what made it so flavourful and it is because the bacon is cured. Good chef! The lobster tacos had the perfect amount of meat to tangy sauce. Recommend!
For mains we both had salads: duck and beet goat cheese salad. The duck was cooked perfectly, excellent sear. The beet salad was superb, dressing has a great kick to it. I inquired what kind it was, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that the chef makes all dressings and sauces in house from scratch!
The portion sizes are perfect, and we were able to fit in a shared dessert. We shared the Nutella Dumplings, they were better than I even imagined. Yum! Will have again for sure!
We look forward to many more dinners out to The Park, and highly recommend you check it out! Keep the great work up managers!!
The restaurant food needs much improvement. Overcooked, greasy and definitely prices do not reflect what you get on your plate. I realize the restaurant has recently opened but the chef needs more practice with presentation amd the management needs lessons in customer service. I rate this restaurant 4 out 10.
Been twice already and they aren't even really open yet. Good vibe, seem serious about doing a good job. Meatball sliders and surf and turf burger (with lobster!) have been hilights so far. Good wine and beer selection. Will be back.
So excited to have a real restaurant that serves real food along with real service in this neck of the woods!
We used to live in Mission and we were spoiled with delicious food and being able to walk (stumble?) home after a few glasses of wine...
Living in Quarry Park isn't quite the same... But when we visited the Park Kitchen and Bar tonight we were reminded of what it's like to enjoy a really good meal with wonderful service and a great wine list... And they have oysters on Wednesdays!! Couldn't be happier that this new spot has opened up. New favourite place. Fresh fresh fresh food, fresh ingredients! What I'm trying to say is... Yay!!
Work week lunch. Stopped for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. was made to feel welcome from the moment I entered. had the carrot and dill soup that was very tasty and followed with the meatball sliders. the meatballs are really good. and I especially liked the little touches - although it was fairly busy I was asked what I wanted within minutes of arriving and the food arrived quickly after. perfect for a working lunch. I was made to feel welcome by all the staff and as well as by the chef who circulated asking how we felt about the food. definitely a recommendation.
Lovely place! It feels very homey, from the decor, to the furnishes, to the tasteful uniforms worn by the staff. Everyone was very friendly, the food was good and the $2 oyster special on Wednesday's is a great deal for some fresh tasting oysters. This location would make a great place for those who are trying to find a local bar to make it their regular watering hole.
The Park Kitchen and Bar is a leader in food quality, menu variance, and the ability to provide celiac safe food! This place has become one of my top places to both go to when I’m in the city, as well as confidently recommend to celiac folk and non-celiac people alike!!
What makes them so good for celiac? Dedicated fryers, the ability to offer almost their whole menu (with some substitutions of course), breaded chicken and fries (yes, fully gluten free!) as well as knowledgeable servers who know what the word celiac entails.
If there was a place that deserves to be in business and thrive, The Park is one of them, just for their compassion to give celiac people an inclusive experience.
To say I enjoyed my meal is an understatement! I had the lemon Mediterranean pasta. This is a MUST HAVE AGAIN MEAL. I loved every bite. So good. Shout out to the chef! Thank you for such a delicious lunch. I will be back for more. Also my server was excellent. The whole place killed it today ☺️
The food is great! We had burgers, the one I had with goat cheese was amazing. highly recommended trying the Mac and cheese side! Very yummy. On the expensive side as far as typical large restaurants go, but worth a treat. Very spacious with many seating options, including bar and patio. Patio has cover and heaters, it's a great spot on a nice day. Kids eat for $5 on Tuesdays!
Keep coming back to this place because I really enjoy the ambiance of it. Our server was very attentive, food was wonderful, especially because the kitchen helped to accommodate my keto diet o twist on the Asiago chicken.
The wine we ordered was delicious (pictured). And the cheesecake dessert was just the right portion for two of us to split!
Will gladly go back again. Love this place.
