Lovely spot to enjoy a couple of appetizers and a fine glass of wine. Its cozy and charming atmosphere is enjoyable, and the food is rich, flavorful and obviously made by someone who is passionate about creating delicious dishes. Ed is an affable and attentive host and server, without hovering. I...
To celebrate our anniversary, we were looking for a nice and romantic place to have a special dinner. I can tell you, this is it. The food is delicious, service is perfect. We really enjoyed our evening out.
Food as always tasted superb. Portions just right. We were there Halloween night so it wasn't crowded like normal. Lovely night out for romance or celebrating.
Gluten free done right. Not important to me, but for one of the people with me it was key.
It's a small operation and you will feel it from the beginning. Your assigned time isn't just a suggestion, it's the whole reason what we were told was a 2 person team is able to manage a decently sized bis...
Absolutely fantastic food. French cuisine in a casual atmosphere. The food is as good as anything anywhere. If you're from south Calgary, don't waste your time trying to get downtown, just come to Okotoks instead. It's easier to get here and 1882 is better than what you get in the city. Service, pri...
Try the Reuben, the Goat Cheese and Prosciutto flat bread or the burger and you can't go wrong. I go there maybe once per month and Ed and his wife treat me like their long lost cousin every time. Fantastic local restaurant.
Hands down the best birthday dinner! Everything was made to perfection especially the special birthday dessert, sticky toffee pudding. I am always proud to bring visitors to this establishment
With my family we had the pleasure to dine at this fabulous restaurant many, many times in the past. Every single time we were there the food and the service was truly exceptional. Fresh and tasty. And we know a thing or two about food because we have been in the restaurant business for a long time ...
The service, the professionalism, the food, the ambiance, the menu, the wine menu. Best restaurant of Okotos that s for sure. You can probably count restaurants like that on your fingers in the whole Alberta.
Service was awesome. Our waiter (one of the owners) was friendly and fantastic. Always great to support a small business especially when their heart is in it.
Our new favourite French style bistro in Okotoks. We popped by for a late dinner and boy were we impressed. We were served by the owner who is very passionate about his restaurant. I had the Reuben which was perfect and the Cotes de Rhonda wine was the perfect temperature. We will be back!!
My husband and I went there for our anniversary. The service was friendly and prompt. The food...To. Die. For. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly eat one more bite the dessert menu was brought out. I have a soft spot for creme brule. It was perfection!!!
Great place great food and service was excellent, Bistro have the most respect for customers I recommend this place if you want some peace time with family girlfriend or friends that's where you want to be. Enjoy
We had an amazing time here with family. The menu had many great items and they all tasted lovely! The maple balsamic, beef Bourgogne, and white cheesecake filled us right up! But best of all, Ed and his wife are amazing hosts, and made our visit very special! You have to go here! Call ahead to make...
We had an excellent experience! The food was fantastic and the service was outstanding! It was a nice quiet smaller atmosphere and the owners are very friendly and enthusiastic about their restaurant! We ll be back for sure
Absolutley Great Experience, I had the Perfectly cooked Duck. My Fiance had the Excellent Tasting Halibut. The French Onion Soup was one of the Best I've ever had. All made with natural ingredients and the owners make your experience memorable!
Been here a few times and it's always great. Excellent service and quality in a quaint place. Also an excellent value when you consider the quality of the dishes and the serving sizes.
Great food, great atmosphere, call to reserve because he only likes to seat a small group of people. He likes to get to know everyone who he is cooking for.
The best restaurant meal I've had since moving to Canada, absolutely worth the high prices! Delicious food, choice wines, charming and cozy decor along with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Also a family business involved in the local community, definitely recommended
My husband and I have been here twice and both experiences were very different. The first experience was a 5/5... the food was amazing! We had a halibut that was on special and it was phenomenal! The second experience was a 2-3/5 at best. I had the salmon and it was dense, chewy and overcooked, tast...
The experience was absolutely fantastic. The food is to die for - fantastic! Love it! Service is wonderful. They treated us like royalty the whole time we were there. Thank you !!
The food is amazing and the atmosphere could not be better. As amazing as the the food is, it is surpassed by the the friendly and inviting energy of Ed the host. If you have not been here, do yourself a favour, and make a reservation.
Excellent food, restaurant is run and owed by a husband and wife. Great service. Everything homemade. Had the special, soup and sandwich. Soup was great but the sandwich was fantastic. Goat cheese, prochiuto, tomoto and pesto and bun toasted to perfection.
Dishes are well crafted with great attention to detail. Many dishes had an exquisite flavor profile layered using the subtle flavors of the ingredients.
What a find! This place is delicious and worth the money.
As always this is just my opinion based on my experience.
We started with the Avocado and Prawns very tasty, and a great way to start a meal. I moved on to the Duck Margret with Saskatoon Berries, while my wife had the Sterling Obie B...
I had dinner with my boyfriend the other night and the food was FABULOUS. We started with the scallops, which were served with fennel in a mustard dressing and raspberries. I then had the pork belly for my main course. The skin was crisp and the pork so tender. Also all the plating is absolutely bea...
Very disappointing, the fish was over cooked and for an Halibut it tasted like Tilapia. Too much sauce which is not very elegant in a plate. That should have been a $20.00 dish NOT a $42.00 When you charge a price like that you have to give the quality. A white fish with vegetables and rice is not...
Nice and cozy. Although they have the space, they don't take on more customers than they can efficiently serve, which is quite uncommon and I respect that. Service was fast, friendly and pleasant, and the food tasted great. The restroom was nice and clean as well.
I recently moved from Vancouver Island and was looking for a restaurant with something out of the ordinary. Well, Bistro 1882 was a Delightful surprise. The food was some of the best I have ever had. If you are ever looking for great food then this is the spot. Run by a wonderful couple. Ed was our ...
