I've been to Oceana 3-4 times and this was a much anticipated dinner for Valentine's Day! Our reservations were for 6pm and we were greeted at the front and seated immediately. We ordered Oysters and Scallops for appetizers (Oysters were delicious and fresh!). Our entrees were Steak Oscar and Filet Mignon which were cooked as requested perfectly (medium rare). The 5-Layer chocolate cake is a MUST HAVE!! It's delicious.

Service was very fast especially with a packed restaurant on Valentine's. Our wine was refilled often and our waitress was helpful and attentive.

Oceana is definitely a gem in Calgary for gourmet seafood and I will be returning for sure!

Food was NOT OVER-PRICED, our entire meal - 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 desserts, bottle of wine and a couple drinks, just over $200!

My new favourite. Everything about this place is wonderful. If you are looking to impress a client or a date, take them here. Execellent Food, Service and Ambiance.

I have been going here since I was a little girl. I've only ever had the Baxey sandwich, its the best breakfast sandwich out there. The ladies are great, one of the best parts is I've had the same server for over 20 yrs!

Nice place Yummie food with larg portions, price well - Upscale Pub - will be back for sure.

One of the worst dining experiences I have ever come across. Service was slow and when questioned about it the server immediately blamed it on the kitchen. When asked to speak with management they were "too busy" to solve our problems, we were sitting by the host desk and it was obvious the manager was preoccupied with his cellphone. Our server seemed to only have a moments with us and whenever they came around it was fleeting and seemed more of a chore. There were so few servers on for a Saturday night for such a large restaurant, you would think that a restaurant of this size would have more staff for such a busy night. The hassle was not worth the sub par food.

You will never find better service anywhere else. They were perfect. And the food was perfect, too. I had pork tenderloin that was amazing, and every course was just right. The portions were not too big, so it made the multi-course meal really enjoyable. If you're looking for a great place to splurge, you'll find amazing food here.

We stopped in for a quick dinner before the movie and got just that. Our tempura was fast and hot, with four large shrimp and a nice assortment of veggies. The Sumo Boat was good, the steamed shrimp and spicy mayo rolls on the boat were our favourite, and the wasabi was hot and authentic. Some of the sashimi was dry and the edges were getting hard, but the overall meal was good. The patio was very nice too.

You are going to get a consistently good meal here for the decent price. Service is excellent. The half portions are perfect for lunch. The kids like the food as well. In the summer the patio is great.

Great choice of menu and wines with excellent service.

Very busy, be prepared to stand in line and wait up to an hour to be seated, but the food is good. Definately a breakfast stop, wholesome, warm, good quality food. Good atmosphere, but full and not too much room. Was able to take a young child, but was nervous about the glass slab on top of the tablecloth (unsecured to the tables), a little dangerous with an impatient toddler! I went back a few months ago with Torontonians for brunch and they gave it an approval as well.

Overall a great experience. Excellent hospitality and amazing seafood. Great enviroment. More upscale. Works well for business and dates.

First time reservation - service impeccable, food good, value for money - have to say "No." You can get as tasty a meal with equal ambiance at Da Guidos for a third of the price.

Overall a good experience. I have never had a bad meal here. Good Flavours. Nice Decor, good food, and a very pleasant location. More suited for a date than a client meeting (too far to walk from office in core)
One of the more enjoyable Seafood places in this city.

I hadn't been to Oceana since it was formerly La Caille on the Bow. For a mid-week lunch, it was a great choice. I find parking generally challenging in the downtown core so Oceana's customer parking lot was a welcome relief. My friend and I were seated in the lounge, a comfortable yet sophisticated setting. Our drinks were seen to promptly and our lunch order was taken right away (it seemed obvious to me that they must be used to the business crowd with little time to spare.) I tried the lunch special: Cajun Snapper with grilled veggies, garlic mashed potatoes, and a starter of the seafood chowder. For $18.95 I thought it was a great deal considering the quantity of food, location, and atmosphere. Lunch was great, with flavours that were pleasant yet not overpowering (the cajun and the garlic that is.) I have since then told friends about it and am happy to recommend it here on chomp.

I went to meet a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile. It ended up that I had to wait a bit for him to arrive and that was such a blessing!
There isn't that many things in life that are better than time sitting outside on a gorgeous day in summer, with rustling leaves and a patio setting like the River Cafe. I'm sure that everyone has experienced times like this. It is like time has stopped, even if it is just for a brief moment. It is memorable and blissful all in one.

I had time to soak up the sun as the hum of busy chatting people in the restaurant seemed to flow down the steps of the patio like the river that surrounds the island. Thank goodness he was late!
My server was busy so, Justin, really didn't mind that I wasn't interested in ordering right away.
Once my friend did get there, that little afternoon rush was waining and we ordered right away.
My friend had ordered the risotto(which I considered) and I ordered the bison burger. It sounded so interesting and sometimes you just "feel" like a burger.
One ad I remember for this place says "Just a walk in the park". This is definately not JUST anything. The food is amazing! The whole experience is heavenly and memorable!
I think that it has to be the owner's attention to detail that makes this such an escape and easy vacation from the daily grind that we tend to get caught up in. I love how conscious and deliberate all things are here. Nothing has been missed, right down to the wasp bottles so cleverly placed..
Back to the food...
My burger was a feast for the senses. It was moist and flavourful. The potatoes were delicious.
If you forget that you are in Calgary while sitting on the patio, I would forgive you, since this seems so Metropolitan. You must check it.

With a large group of 26 people we received excellent service. The menu has a great selection to accomodate many. The food is amazing. The chilean seabass was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The freshness of the food is very compariable to the what you would find on the coast.

Joey's in the Eau Claire market area is a must visit for travelers to downtown Calgary. Set near the river, it is a handy location for walkers, bikers, shoppers and diners. Normally, I don't give restaurants second visits during short trips to different cities that I travel to. Joey's was different. The service was above average, the aroma within the restaurant made your stomach growl just walking into the building and the food is not your standard restaurant/sports bar/bistro fare. While burgers and fries do show on the menu, the restaurant also features finer dining delights. Two items topped my dining list. The first evening at Joey's featured a delightful Seafood Sicilian Pesto Linguini filled with a healthy portion of shrimp and large scallops. The pesto sauce, incorporating a 200 year old Sicilian recipe, is to die for! My second night at Joey's featured a fantastic Blackened Spiced Basa (fish). This was recommended by my server, Brendan, and by chef Chris. Don't let the "blackened" scare you off- it is perfectly seasoned so the spice does not overpower the basa. The basa is served over a cumin rice and garnished with a tomato pickled ginger salsa and seasonal vegetable. I was fortunate to have asparagus, cooked to perfection. This was coupled with a fantastic glass of Kim Crawford Savignon Blanc (New Zealand) which was recommended by the General Manager Steve Hamelin, a gentleman with a true gift for matching wines with food. So, if you are looking for good food and fine wine at reasonable prices, Joey's at Eau Claire is a restaurant worth sinking your teeth into.

I only had a coffee and a beer but Johnny is quite friendly and quick to jump up to help any customers. He said that he had a DJ in on the weekend. I will have to check it out some day. I was happy to be able to watch the game, but too bad the flames just sucked so much.

I was craving a REAL breakfast and these guys have the real thing!
From the best hashbrowns to amazing eggs. I had the cheese omlette and it really hit the spot. The service is always friendly and sincere. I love this place.

The garage is a great place to play pool and enjoy some good appetizers! It has a very friendly atmosphere! You have the option of using coin operated pool tables or pay by the hour tables.

This is definitely a family restaurant!

They have great food and service! This location has a much less classy atmosphere compared to the Chinook and NE locations.

This restaurant has a very nice rustic and relaxing atmosphere! The patio is also quite beautiful as this place is located right in the heart of Prince's Island park. It is on the pricier side but you are definitely getting tons of atmosphere at this little gem!
