We loved Oxbow!! The happy hour menu for both snacks and drinks, including 50% off bottles of EXCELLENT wine, is next level. The food on the menu was incredible, and great value! Quality was amazing, and you don't always see that with happy hour selections. We had the beef tartare, the cauliflower and brussel sprout salad, the warm olives and the brie and brioche, and we loved them all. ESPECIALLY the salad - we both said it was one of the best salads we've ever had! The ambience is also exactly what you'd expect in a cozy hotel bar. There's a beautiful fireplace that is a focal point, and they displayed photos on their TV of beaches, which was a nice addition and made us dream of warmer temps! The patio also looks like a good time, when the weather improves a bit more. It faces onto Memorial Drive, so you can see the Calgary skyline and the river (once construction is done - which in Calgary, one never knows!)

What a first class dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of the family. The servers were attentive and the food was exquisite. We particularly enjoyed interacting with the chefs when they brought out one of our courses. They were knowledgeable and personable and were happy to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend Oxbow! 10/10!

This is one of the hidden gems in Calgary. Every visit is perfect and we have been countless times. Chef's Junell Mission's cooking is one of the most consistent and delicious. Best duck dishes in the city, no doubt.

We had an unforgettable experience at Oxbow. We were celebrating our engagement, and our server, Jirwin, went above and beyond by surprising us with complimentary champagne. It made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was delicious, and Jirwin’s thoughtful service truly stood out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Had a great time celebrating my friend's birthday. Overall, very good experience; food excellent, as was service by Corey, who looked after us. Couple of suggestions; tongs for sugar bowl and for serving the food Teapot a bit too big for one person; that size pot is more suited to coffee; should be a smaller teapot.
