Restaurants near Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary South

We love Bow Valley Ranche. Our lunch was excellent and we had lovely service. The main room in the restaurant was busy so we were put in a side room which was perfect. My husband has some hearing issues so this was much quieter and we are seated by a window so it was fantastic .

Chairman’s is one of my favourite restaurants ever. Where do I even start… The ambiance is beautiful, whether it’s the lake views or the decor everywhere you look there are beautiful details (the menus softly light up when you open them and every bathroom is a bidet as well). The service is next to none, thoughtful and kind staff and again every detail is thoughtfully curated throughout your entire dining experience. We had Dany as our server and we just loved him. So respectful and friendly, he really gave us a great experience. The food… wow. Consistently incredible and made with so much love and care. There is not one thing I’d complain about at this restaurant other than the fact that you won’t find such a well rounded and consistent fine dining experience anywhere else and it ruins you lol.

Alvin’s Jazz Club is incredible, as always! The food is excellent, the service is top-notch, and the ambiance makes for a great night out. But what really makes this place special is the live music. It adds so much energy and personality to the experience. If you’re going, try to catch a night when Barry Shaw is playing—he’s absolutely fantastic and takes the whole vibe to another level.

I am SO impressed with my meal & so was my friend. I rarely order salads from restaurants because, 1) I make them better at home myself, 2) I find they’re far too expensive for the little bit of ingredients outside of cheap lettuce. My Greek salad last night was THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD (including my own!!!) and my pad Thai was also possibly the best I’ve had (sorry Thai restaurants I frequent!) and my friend’s Canadian burger and fries impressed her greatly, too. Now, for some context, I’m a foodie who eats out 3-5x/week. I also live in Montgomery - but chose to come back to Rendezvous after being once before in 2021 and loving my experience then. The only suggestion I have - would be to turn down the volume of the mic for the AMAZING singer. Don’t get me wrong, he was phenomenal and my friend and I knew and loved EVERY song - but it was SO LOUD we struggled to hear one another to catch up - which was our main point of ladies night. Other than that - 4.9 stars out of 5!

Would have liked a choice of perhaps steak sandwich or such
