Delicious salmon! Crispy outside and tender inside. Appreciated the fresh local garden veggies that were in season vegetables. Complimentary bread rolls with two different kinds of butter and balsamic vinegar olive oil mix. Crab cakes were tasty, but I thought would be bigger. Crispy and fresh which was tasty. Service was great! The staff took care of everything and answered any questions we had. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Restrooms were clean as well. Fun museum that looked cool from the outside. It was unfortunately closed when I dined at the restaurant. Park at the park and walk through the center to get to the restaurant. read more

To begin, a reservation made a week in advance and upon arrival no table available, they had to clap something together near the entrance of both the restaurant entrance and the patio dining area. Once dinner was served we then had to ask for cutlery. The food was hot but it was evident as the server had to use napkins to carry plates out that the dinner had been sitting under the warming table. The food however was good. When finished after sometime we were asked if we would like to have dessert and three desserts were ordered. The first two arrived 20 minutes later, the final 10 minutes after that. I would note that one of the dinner plates was still on the table not having been bussed and with dessert we again had to ask for cutlery. The Selkirk Grill is a restaurant that we have patroned for the past ten years at least three times per year. Over the last two visits it, the first being in early May, had us dining on a lunch menu for dinner and it was from the winter schedule menu. Last evening it is apparent that the menu has changed significantly. What, to us, was a restaurant is now nothing more than a neighborhood pub. We informed the only person who seemed to be engaged in their work, Brittany, that this would be the last time we would reserve a table there. If I was looking for good pub food I have closer locations to choose from. However, if I was looking for good pub food with terrible service, with the exception of Brittany, I would go there. Not likely though. read more

Visiting from nashville and looking for a good Calgary steak. The 20oz rib eye did not disappoint! The veggies were delicious. Fresh purple carrots, broccolini, mushrooms, onions, just amazing. Not your typical meat and potatoes steak place. This was fresh veggies and steak. Healthy and delicious and worth the price. Finished with the Austrian chefs strudel. Great meal, ambience and service! read more

Tasty food, good staff, will be back. Great specials, reasonable prices, love the place.

Bbq wings were fabulous and for $12 I got about 20 wings..... Charcuterie board was delightful. Caesar salad was ok, not enough bacon though. Crime brûlée was to die for. Lemon meringue pie was fantastic. Donal from Dublin was our server and was a great personality. The French maître d was a cool cat too read more

My husband and I have been here a few times and loved it, we recommended it to all our friends! We were super excited to hear they were opened after renovations, however when we got there we were very disappointed to see that they had completely replaced their previous staff (who we loved). Our server seemed as if she had no idea what was going on. Donal, Erin, and Rachel always took fantastic care of us, we cant believe they are gone! Until the staff issue is sorted we will NOT be back! read more

It was hot day with humidity in Calgary. We were visiting the Heritage Park. After we saw Gasoline lane( old car museum), walked a little bit. The park looked huge, we walked back, stopped here. It was cool and dark inside. The host lady gave us a table between entrance door and the patio door. I asked her a booth near. We wanted to sit down and relax. That's it. We just had a huge Korean lunch in Calgary! It was happy hour time. I had local IPA which was excellent. Away from our group, having beer with veges was a very great idea. Actually we wanted tea in a tea house, but it was full. read more

I am never disappointed when I visit Selkirk Grill and I do visit often. The food is amazing and and so is the service. I almost always order the Crab cakes as they are delicious (and so is everything else on the menu) and the Charcuterie board just perfect for a starter. The Prime Rib special was excellent as well. Although the food is great, but what makes me return is the service and the atmosphere. I love the location and I definitely appreciate great service. I would say that the service is probably the best in Calgary. This time we had Mitchell serving us. He gave us just the right amount of attention and although it was a busy evening, he kept an eye on our table just in case we needed something. Very professional and a pleasant person. When it comes to our Old Fashioned cocktails I am very specific on how I like it and not everyone knows how to prepare them so I must say that our cocktails were perfectly done. Thank You Mitchell for the perfect cocktails and for making our evening a pleasant one. We shall see you next time. read more

We recently visited the Selkirk Grill at Heritage Park for lunch. While the host and servers were all very pleasant, sadly the food was a real disappointment. We ordered a couple of appetizers including the crab cakes and tempura cauliflower. The crab cakes were small, dry and over cooked in a deep fryer? The tempura cauliflower was very greasy. Two of our family members ordered their house burgers and fries. Both the burger and fries were also over cooked. I was unable to get halfway through the Truffle Tomato Gnocchi I was served. It had a heavy mushroom soup like taste. One of our family members was pleased with their Chicken Rice bowl. I don't think we will be going back any time soon. read more

After receiving a gift certificate to Selkirk Grille, I delayed using it as I wrongly assumed I couldn't eat here due to being a vegan and all the menu items I saw contain meat. After about six months of holding onto said gift certificate I decided to give them a call and found they were more than happy to accommodate me and my vegan needs! I called and spoke to a friendly lady in the morning and made a reservation for later that evening as she informed me that the chef would prepare a special meal just for me! Not knowing what that would be, I didn't have high hopes when I arrived, but the waitress was warm and friendly as she told me the Chef had so much fun, spending all day planning my vegan meal just for me! I felt so special! First was a lovely crisp salad with walnuts and tomatoes... But the main course, oh my, it was one of the delicious things I have ever had in my life! The chef prepared a risotto, which was cooked to perfection, with green beans and asparagus mixed in. It was creamy and the rice was firm. On top of the risotto were two of the most delicious things I have ever eaten, curried potato and lentil patties. Soft yet firm, lightly curried and just stunning, like soft pillows of heaven! Also on my plate were maple glazed carrots, which the waitress informed me are grown on site hydroponically, they were a wonderful accompaniment to the dish. I am giving this restaurant a 5 star review. Having learned that their chef spent all day coming up with a special dish just for me was just the most lovely thing, to be accommodated so easily and with such warm friendliness! I will be coming back to Selkirk Grille in the future and would recommend them to anyone with a special diet, as I know now they will go above and beyond to ensure you have the most pleasant experience! read more

Selkirk Grille - Risotto with curried lentil and potato patties served with maple glazed carrots (a vegan meal made on request!). - Seafood Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The food and service here are extremely good. Very nice wine list and they update the menu often. Thursday date night is aways a great deal.

I recently went here with my co~workers for our night staff Christmas dinner. We had a reservation for 5:30, but in usual fashion my co~workers all rolled in over an hour or so later. The staff was very patient with us. They were extremely friendly(one even got hugs from us when we left) and attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything... they were at our table frequently keeping drinks topped up and food fresh. The food was good! We split several appetizers between a bunch of us. I tried the duck poutine, the butternut squash risotto and the crispy squid. It was all so good! I don't like seafood and refuse to try calamari, but I gave the squid a try and it was really good! I loved the tomato eggplant dipping sauce that came with it. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast and veggies. It was very tasty! For dessert I went with the peppermint mocha cheesecake and it was ever so heavenly! They closed the kitchen at 9pm.. or so they told us that's when it closes when we asked, but let us sit there, drink and chat until after 11 pm. They weren't really busy with it being a cold Tuesday evening. They had one large party and another group our size there. We stayed as long as the large party stayed. The staff never asked us to leave although I am sure they wanted to close and go home, but we saw no sign of that. It's a nice place decor wise. Nothing super fancy, but nice. We took a bunch of pictures that the staff helped out with too. This was our second work function there and I would definitely go again! read more

Great restaurant and amazing food. Since moving into the area a couple of months ago, I visited the restaurant a few times with friends. Each time the food has been outstanding. The atmosphere is great and the service just as great. We have tried a few of the dishes and so far all have been delicious. If you want to relax and enjoy a drink before dinner, you should start with the Charcuterie and Cheese Board and the West Coast Crab Cakes, you will love it. As a meat lover myself, the 20oz Rib-Eye Steak for Two remains my number one dish, but everything else is great on the menu. I am very particular on how the meat is prepared, however, I must say that each time the Rib-Eye Steak was prepared exactly the way I like it, medium rare, tender & juicy! (kudos to the chef) and the side dish is seasonal mix of delightful fresh veggies. Yummy! If you haven't been to the restaurant before, you must visit! A little hidden treasure worth trying. Thank you Raphael for the great service and for Miljenko Denda (Restaurant Manager) for the extra attention. Great team. read more

Went here for a Christmas-y type dinner with my fiance. We made reservations but apparantly they didn't have it in their computer system. Thankfully they weren't too busy and we were seated right away, accompanied by many apologies. We got a small table for two in a quiet corner right at the front of the restaurant. Our server was down to earth and spunky, and although she forgot things her personality more than made up for the few mistakes. Dinner was delicious, I had the prime rib and it was cooked perfectly. The vegetables were seasoned well. After dinner I ordered tea, but they unfortunately didn't have any- which I found to be quite odd. So we skipped the post dinner drink and headed home. Overall it was a good dining experience, and the food was homey and well done. read more

Was here this past Friday. My wife and I were greeted at the front by two hostesses. The server we had, was very friendly and efficient. I wish I remembered her name, that way I could've mentioned her as part of my review. Our drink orders were taking right away then a few minutes after our drinks arrived we ordered our appetizer. We decided to share the crab and shrimp cakes. They come out presented on one of those white rectangular serving dishes with three crab cakes. They were smaller then I've had in other restaurants but tasty nonetheless. I ordered the rib eye steak (medium rare) It was accompanied by two pieces of asparagus three baby carrots, and a wedge of a potato casserole looking thingy (sorry don't know the technical term). The vegetables were well cooked, and the steak was done nicely. I would say though there was a little more fatty pieces that I desire. (BUT STILL GOOD). My wife had the halibut, and the one thing she said, was that a was a little dry. Again it was also still good).I will be back, but next time I'll order something different. Also I would like to try the outdoor patio on a nice summer evening. This past Friday was a little cooler and windy. I also think the patio was closed. read more

We went here for Valentine's Day. It's at Heritage Park. The atmosphere is nice and romantic. They had added some special touches for the occasion. Really made it stand out. The servers were polite and nice but a little slow. For the day they had a tasting menu. The food was good, but nothing overly exciting. There were some courses that I didn't finish because they weren't balanced right or something. You could definitely tell they were trying to make everything on the plate work together but in a few of the courses it just fell short. That being said the courses that worked were good but not knock your socks off. Nothing that would have me planning my next night out there. They did cap off the night with a rose for all the ladies. Overall, it's a nice restaurant but I wouldn't be going out of my way to go there. read more

Had the rib-eye steak for two and I was pretty disappointed. It was under cooked more like medium rare instead of medium well. Not really it hing to fo back again. read more

Finally a decent restaurant along the bike path of the Glenmore reservoir that doesn't require an admission ticket. I was very happy when the Sellkirk grill was developed. However upon several visitations over several years I have become disappointed in this restaurant. The menu reads much better than the food that is served. I find it slightly pretentious overpriced and under delivered. Great focus on local cuisine but the quality and the price does not match the restaurants with which it would compete. I would rather see an increase in quality than a decrease in price. read more

The restaurant itself is lovely, and has a nice layout. We came here in October for my birthday lunch. Service started out being efficient. We were seated, the hostess took our coats, and the waitress came by to fill our waters. We brought our own wine, and she promptly opened it for us. My mom doesn't drink red wine, so she asked for a glass of champagne. We ended up waiting almost 15 minutes for one glass of champagne, which was a bit annoying for my mom. I would understand if they were super busy or had tons of drinks to make, but we were one of 4 tables in the restaurant. I'm a server, so I can sympathize with these things. But, if I see you texting behind the bar while someone is waiting for a drink, I will not be impressed. When she finally returned, we ordered our food. Food came out pretty quickly, which was good. I had the chicken sandwich, and it was delicious. The avocado yogurt sauce was great, and the fries were well cooked and seasoned also. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food, so that was redeeming. After doing a quality check, we never saw our waitress again. The manager had to come by and clear our plates, and bring our bill. When I told them it was my birthday, they said "Oh, that's nice." At my work, when it is someone's birthday, we bring them a complimentary dessert. I've also been to several places that bring out ice cream or something sweet to nosh on. Would it have really put them out to bring me something? I'm not asking for a 3 tiered cake or anything, just a little bit of ice cream maybe. Seemed a bit strange to me. Also, when we left, I waited and waited at the hostess stand for someone to retrieve my coat. Finally, I just opened the closet and grabbed my coat. I found it extremely careless to leave people's coats unattended like that. Overall, the service was really subpar. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is because the food really was great. read more

My Wife & I received a gift card for the Selkirk Grille. Both of us being Vegans, I called ahead to see if the kitchen would be able to accommodate us. It can be tricky trying to find a restaurant that will cook Vegan if it isn't the typical menu fare - my fears were quickly put to rest. The lady I spoke to confirmed that we'd have no problem - the Chef would prepare Vegan dishes, and we'd be good to go. We made reservations & showed up later that evening. We wondered if we'd have to tell our waitress the Vegan request again, but we had no reason to! She was fully prepared, and advised us that all was specially prepared, and described the upcoming meal to us. She was kind, respectful, and really added to the experience. The food was absolutely amazing, the manager even came over to see how we were liking it - our waitress also let us know that the Chef had been specially preparing a perfect Vegan meal for us all day - what a treat! To know that we were made a special dish where so much thought had been put into it, as opposed to just giving us some side dishes that happened to be Vegan, was just incredible. On top of the excellent staff & amazing chef, the atmosphere and ambiance of the place was just what you'd expect from a restaurant located at Heritage Park - it was classic, and classy. The music playing fit the old-time feel & theme of the Grille - it was perfect. For these reasons, I can't give the Selkirk Grille anything less than 5 stars. Compliments to the Management, the staff, and the Chef!! read more

Excellent service, wonderful lamb burger (but i wimped and switched to cheddar cheese, passing on the blue), really good smoked bison poutine! read more

Its a nice venue and you really hope the place will be good.... but the food is bland, over cooked and uninspired; the bread was even bad. The service is lackluster, like 5% tip worthy. No one at our table finished the plates, we asked for pack up (pointless as we threw out the left overs but I guess we didn't want to feel completely ripped off)and waiter brought us boxes for us to do it ourselves; so not fine dining. I went to Joeys in Chinook the next day....its not fine dining but service was better, food more interesting and cooked properly and low and behold the waiter had our left overs packed up. If you're coming for a beer on the deck, great, but if looking for a special meal inside, go elsewhere. read more

Undiscovered jewel of Calgary! Who knew there was such a fabulous restaurant tucked away in Heritage Park? We went for the "Sunday Dinner" (lovely salad, prime rib with yorkshire pudding, fruit crumble dessert) -- wonderful in its simplicity; brilliant in its understatedness. The place is warm and inviting, the wait staff are relaxed and welcoming, and I look forward to their patio opening up. read more

Charming patio and restaurant located just outside of the entrance to Heritage Park. Went for Sunday Brunch with friends with young children. The menu lacked a little for the young ones but the server was helpful and accommodating. Afterwards we checked out the museum - all around good dining experience. read more

I've been to the Selkirk Grille several times now and have enjoyed it each visit. The food has always been wonderful and I love the atmosphere. For the summer there is a lovely, sunny patio and as it's away from any roads you don't get the noise or exhaust fumes. In the winter there is the skating rink just out the door. The service has been hit and miss as they have been short staffed on a couple of occasions but the staff has always been friendly and accommodating. I'd come back anytime. read more

Great food, service and prices. Because of its location in Heritage Park, I never would have thought to try this place except for its inclusion in YYC Burger Week. I'm glad I made the trip because we've been back a number of times since then. The BLT salad and kale salad are always really good. read more

Very difficult to reach if you are disabled at all. Parking and even walking distance is quite difficult. Now the food...We ordered prime rib and we're very disappointed. The presentation is lovely but believe me I've had better for a lot less money. You have to ask for water, and even then it's never refilled. After he pours the first cup of coffee you don't see the server (and I use that word loosely) again..Quick with bill but NO refill. I won`t ever be going back. read more

I was really excited to come here for the first time, I had heard good things from the other people I was dining with (who had all been there before). We'd had some difficulty getting our reservations altered to fit one more person in so we were surprised when it was more than half empty on mother's day. The food was really so-so (no vegetarian main course on the menu), the waiter wasn't very sensitive to medical issues one of our party has (she was using a tablet device for communication as she had no voice), and when the asked-for cup of chamomile tea turned out to be mostly peppermint we shouldn't have been surprised given that it was pretty characteristic of the attention to detail overall. It wasn't horrible food, but it wasn't really what I was expecting given past experiences and the price. The best part of the meal was after the bill was paid, the waiter brought a plate of chocolate dipped strawberries. Took most of the sour taste out of our mouths. Most. read more

We were were very pleasantly surprised. After visiting Heritage Park we decided to stop for a bite to eat outside the park as it was closing. We walked into the Selkirk Grill and were warmly welcomed at the front entrance. The menu was limited as we were eating before the dinner menu started. However the select menu they offered was excellent. We had mussels, the cheese board, bannock bread and a salad with salmon (yummy). We even had carrot cake for dessert with coffee. All dishes were excellent!! We devoured everything as it was so good. Plus very reasonable in price. Our waiter went above and beyond to tell us about the menu and provided excellent service. Thanks Rudy for making our afternoon a great experience. There is a nice outdoor patio but it was raining (thunderstorm) so we ate inside. Large windows with natural light. We looked at the dinner menu and were impressed so we definitely will be back. The Selkirk Grill is definitely a hidden gem in Calgary. read more

What a treat! Hard to find a restaurant that has it all! Great customer service , fabulous atmosphere, and great food! Well, we did! We decided to go early, 4 o'clock, after reserving, the restaurant called to see if we were ok with a lunch menu, which is more limited in choices. We were all fine with that. We were greeted by Rudy, who looked after us all for the rest of our meal. He was such a pleasure, and was very knowledgable about the menu items. The charcuterie tray was all local meats, cheeses and pates', the burger outstanding, and the wings certainly was a generous helping and very tasty. Since we had a very pregnant relative with us, Rudy made us both virgin drinks. What I also appreciated, was the fact we could hear each other when we were conversing, and didn't have to yell to be heard. Some of the new restaurants are just too loud! What a pleasure! We will definitely be back for supper some time. Check out tues dinner and a movie, it looks like it would be great! Thanks again Rudy! We want you next time too! Did not know this place was even here two days ago! read more
