Deane House in Calgary

A beautiful space to host an event. The Christmas dinner party meal was delicious.

We had a wonderful time at Dean House. Gigi was an excellent server and was so friendly. It s the best French onion soup that I have ever had. Atmosphere was Beautiful old elegance Great parking We will be coming back again soon

We recently held our company Christmas party at this restaurant, and while the food and ambiance were enjoyable, we had an issue with unexpected charges that left us disappointed. We initially confirmed a reservation for 19 people, but only 13 attended. Upon arrival, we were told we would still be charged for all 19, despite no mention of this policy in our contract or any prior communication. This unexpected charge felt unfair and was poorly handled, as we were only informed on the day of the event. While we understand that restaurants plan based on confirmed numbers, clear communication about such policies is essential, especially for group events. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling undervalued as customers. We hope the restaurant improves transparency to prevent such situations for future patrons.

Deane House offers exceptional farm-to-table cuisine in a charming historic setting. Outstanding service, creative dishes, and a cozy ambiance make it a must-visit Calgary dining destination.

Hosted my high tea birthday party in their library room for 19 guests and had a wonderful experience at the Deane House. Megan the event organizer was fantastic and the staff on the day were lovely, fun and very attentive. Overall great experience and highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I usually pick a new restaurant in Calgary every Christmas season to try - this year we decided on the Chefs Tasting Menu at the Deane House. Despite the many good reviews, we are totally shocked at how bad the food was. Every course was bland and the main course was chicken, carrots and previously frozen peas.... bizarre. The pork belly was a sad piece of bacon and it was all just very underwhelming...we went with the wine pairing and for $110, we could have just gotten a nice bottle of wine. They used cheap wines at small pours. Our bill was $265 before the tip - not worth it at all. I mentioned to the waitress our disappointment and she got snappy with me! The whole thing was very absurd and we will never return here again. I highly suggest everyone avoid this place as well - go anywhere else even a chain such as Earls/Cactus Club and you will get a better bang for your buck. This might actually be one of the worst food experiences we have had to date in Calgary and we have tried almost every restaurant available.

Had a Christmas dinner organized by work..Did not enjoy the meal at all.

The food here is pretty good. The service was excellent. The waiter had a good sense of honor. The restaurant is in an old house, but its still fully wheelchair accessible including level entry and a WC washroom. There are two wheelchair parks, and paved sidewalks. Prices are a little up market. Parking: Two wheelchair parks.

We recently went for dinner for a work event. We did the chefs menu, which for anyone who has done before knows the portion sizes are very small, (except dessert which was huge). All good tasted great, drink service was slow, but the staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very quaint hey not crowded. Perfect cozy place in the winter!

Six Stars.. a most fabulous place. Superb in every way. Bison was superb

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The food was impressive. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great night out.

The food, service, and atmosphere were all exceptional. Highly recommend! A great place to celebrate special occasions.

Second visit for afternoon tea this year on November 17. Service, staff and location excellent! However, the food was a bit disappointing. Afternoon tea here was more about presentation. Scones were dry and flavours of savouries and sweets were somewhat underwhelming. However, the interesting inclusion of a cup of soup and grilled cheese was very delicious. This is not a traditional British afternoon tea with no traditional finger sandwiches and British cakes. However the staff and venue are fantastic - as was the soup and sandwich.

We had our small, intimate wedding and reception in The Dining Room earlier this year and we cannot begin to say how happy we were with the whole planning process and actual day. We were very well taken care of from start to finish and we cannot recommend the Deane House highly enough. Excellent venue, excellent food, excellent customer service.

A lovely heritage building with a great restaurant, delicious food, and friendly efficient staff. Great wine and the evening was made even better by a Jazz trio playing in the back ground.

Great atmosphere but was very disappointed with the smoked mushroom perogies. It had no flavour and i normally never have to add additional salt to my dishes but I had to ask for the salt shaker.

My Daughter booked her Bridesmaids high tea celebration here for yesterday. The house, special room and ambiance are beautiful, including the table setting. Our family have been to many high teas and unfortunately found this one disappointing, savoury offering portions were very small, bread dried out and flavours mediocre. The sweets platter was the same, very underwhelming. Our server was delightful and attentive, but it seems that the high tea quality is not a priority.

DO NOT GO HERE FOR AFTERNOON TEA. Service was slow had to wait at least 20 minutes just to get our table we reserved. Took them long to get the small treats out that are all the same and disappointment. BREAD EVEN on savoury menu for the tea was yesterdays and not fresh. TEA TASTES LIGHT like Walmart bought tea packages, you ll finish it by the time they bring out few pastries out. VERY slow and NOT worth it. Go elsewhere, will not come back.

Brunch was great and the atmosphere was especially wonderful. Chai latte was nothing special though. The eggs benedict were incredible.

Really great atmosphere, food was excellent and service is incredibly friendly. Definitely one of the better fine dining places in Calgary.

Used to enjoy not anymore with the wasps everywhere

We took in the dinner service during Canada long weekend. We got the impression that staffing might have been an issue as staff mentioned that werent performing in their usual roles. Cocktails were fantastic and we benefited from expert wine advice. (Our wait staff had a special interest and expertise in wines.) Oysters and mussels were fresh, although it was a bit odd to get a single small piece of toast to accompany a giant bowl of mussels (which were clearly meant to share). We experienced a number of delays getting our order in and receiving the entrees after the appetizer (there was a about an hour gap). The sablefish and halibut dishes were excellent. The bison striploin was plated beautifully and the flavors were fun, however the dish arrived very cold :o. Thats actually the first time weve ever experienced that (at any restaurant). After the hour wait we elected to just forge ahead. Dessert was a bit of a mixed bag. The flat white was delicious, but it was garnished with what looked like a large sheet of candy wafer. Thankfully the wait staff warned us that it wasnt actually edible (we tried for fun and it was similar to plastic). It wasnt clear if it was failed candy wafer or if someone new made a poor selection for artistic garnish. The crepe cake was a neat idea. However each crepe was already quite thick, and the end result was like eating a dense pancake, which in my opinion defeats the purpose of a crepe. Overall, we were pleased that all the staff were so friendly, and did appear to be trying their very best. The experience was marred by a lot of issues from the kitchen and a slow experience. It definitely wasnt a bad experience, but fell short of our expectations at the price point.

I went here for brunch, and I love their outdoor seating. Food is alright - nothing extraordinary, service is good.

Very good service.Excellent food.

We came for YYC Hot Chocolate Fest and our experience was absolutely delightful! The flavours we stunning and the service was exceptional!

What a beautiful setting! The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. So many wonderful dishes to choose from the menu! And that Old Fashion! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Friendly

We celebrated our friends birthday and our waitress Gigi was absolutely wonderful! She was highly attentive and helpful in finding the right menu item. The food all came out fantastic and we most definitely enjoyed the celebration dinner!

Absolutely Perfect Wedding Venue! We recently had our wedding at Deane House, and it was nothing short of amazing! The beautiful venue, both inside and in the gardens, created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and brunch reception. The food was incredible our guests couldn t stop raving about the quality and presentation. The service was impeccable, with special thanks to Megan, Dani and the team for making sure every detail was taken care of, and for being so kind and attentive to us and our guests. The entire planning process was smooth, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and professional, making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you re looking for a venue with a combination of charm, elegance, and outstanding service, Deane House is the place. We can t wait to come back for anniversaries and future celebrations! Highly recommend for weddings or any special event!

As a birthday tradition my friend and I take each other for afternoon tea, typically at the Fairmont Banff Springs. We thought we d try local this year and were mildly disappointed with our experience. The location is beautiful and the garden very lovely, but the room was unpleasantly warm which makes drinking hot tea far less enjoyable when you re sweating. There was also a table with a bunch of children and so much kid-stuff I thought I walked into a kindergarten classroom. It made the room extra loud. When the tea arrived we quickly found out my friend s teacup had a giant crack in it and leaked tea everywhere until she could flag our server down for a replacement. We also had to ask for a plate to put our tea bags so the tea didn t over-steep and turn bitter. The teas were both really nice though! The savory food was all delicious, a good variety, and nicely presented. The scones were probably the best we ve had - great clotted cream and raspberry spread to go with them. The desserts were absolutely adorable - they were garden/bug themed and truly so cute. However, the variety in taste was not there - one of them was a caterpillar marshmallow thing with no flavor at all. If you like macarons, then you d love these desserts, if not, you ll be disappointed. We also had to hoover them down because we were informed we had a half hour before a wedding reception was starting. The website states you get 2 hours at your table, and the wedding was starting at the 1.5hr mark. This could have been easily communicated when they called the previous day to confirm my reservation. Overall, not a terrible experience, but for the reputation and price we had higher expectations. While we may return for dinner sometime, we won t be back for afternoon tea.

The Deane House hosted the beginning of a bachelorette party for my best friend and all her girls. We had high tea in the garden room, and our server, Christian, and the event coordinator, Megan, made our experience unforgettable. They really went above and beyond to make it a special afternoon. Christian made us laugh so much and feel so welcomed that we talked about him for the rest of the day. And everything was beyond delicious. It was such a perfect place to start a bachelorette party.

Bar staff were exceptional, particularly Tess and Liam. The lively and well kept grounds were appreciated as well as the solid output of classic Canadian fare for wedding. Novice staff were kind but could use guidance. Nevertheless this place is about location and it is decent.

What a quaint restaurant! We a Started with oysters - very fresh. Came with two dips, one was a jalapeño and the other Mignonette. I dipped in both and it was surprisingly tasty. Next had the bisque- it was creamy just rich enough. Generous portion of lobster. For mains we opted for the char and 5-oz steak. The skin of the char was crispy and meat was perfectly cooked. It came with beans, roe and potato balls. The steak was cooked to medium - juicy. Have to mention the triple cooked potatoes. For dessert - we opted for the crepe cake. Paired with espresso martini. Happy ending for a birthday dinner. Have to mention the staff. Professional and friendly. Special mention to our server, Katie. Treated us with the famous Canadian hospitality

Katie our server was amazing, helped us with excellent choices for our entre. The Oysters were fantastic. And the crab bisque was over the top delicious. We celebrated Divinas birthday and the staff all signed a birthday card for her. Awesome dinning experience.

Very expensive place for what they are offering. The crepe cake that I had was the worse crepe cake that I ever tried. The filling was nonexistent, the first bite was horrible, very chewy, sticky and tasteless.

Service was so slow for a weekday lunch. Lunch menu and items weren t stellar. The venue remains amazing.

I have dined here many times + attended functions. And every time is such a mixed bag. And for the price I do wish it was fully wonderful every time. I respect the focus on the localized-Canadian dishes and I like that there is always something new on the menu and that s part of the culture and the fun risk of trying something new. And though everything was edible and technically ok, the quiche kind of blah and the ham on the Eggs Benedict was very fatty. The dessert featuring rhubarb was so fun and delicious though. Our server was super kind + attentive. Coffee was lovely. But what disappointed me most. Was when I walked in for my reservation. I was barely greeted by the hostess and a completely blank expression from the waiter chatting with her. In fact, I believe I said hello brightly and kindly first. It wasn t very welcoming or warm. This first interaction is what prompted my review. I felt a little like an imposter. And then towards the end of our stay. The same host took our umbrella away for the new table of people to be more shaded. Leaving us in full sun. It felt inconsiderate. I love the feel and history of this beautiful space. And I really wish that warmth and charm was reflected in their service and food more consistently. I don t see myself coming back.

Scary

Wasnt super impressed with the food but i was here for an event in one of the upstairs rooms

Company held event. Food was ok, not great. The venue itself had amazing grounds, great outdoor spaces. The drinks for the event pushed lots of local craft varieties.

I went to support Trellis Society and the creators of their event Shawn Freeman and Murlyne Fong did an incredible job! Im sure many more people were involved, but I know how amazing these people are!

Thank you for your kind and accommodating service. The afternoon tea was very special.

Our Afternoon Tea experience was incredibly amazing when evaluating the food, service and permanent physical surroundings, but our party of three unanimously agreed on the restaurants major fail. The FOOD was extraordinary. It was served on vintage china, with each item a piece of art, unique and richly flavored. The cherry mimosas were excellent. The SERVICE was extraordinary. Caitlin, our hostess, and Tyler, our server, were professional, personable, respectful and attentive without being intrusive. The physical surroundings are beautiful. A gorgeous historic house with ambiance and character, surrounded by a stunning garden. All of this perfection was marred by the group of loud and inconsiderate women seated next to us. We could not have a comfortable conversation, despite having asked for a quiet location at the time we made the reservation. The restaurant chose to ignore their behavior and in so doing, failed to provide the upscale, classy, serene and elegant Afternoon Tea experience we expected, deserved and paid for.

Overall a great experience in an original Calgary Historical venue, staff were awesome, very friendly and accommodating. Food was good, but you might want to check the menu first.

Delicious - complementary parking was convenient instead of having to find and pay for street parking. Amazing fresh flavours.

Everything was excellent. Mushroom Ragu delicious. Server amazing. The atmosphere was so calm and pleasant.

I ordered the pork and it was completely fatty. The server said that was normal and did nothing to compensate. So gross.

The afternoon tea here is so mid. Sweets all taste the same, overly sweetened and bland. The only thing I liked was the scones with the clotted cream. Wont be coming back, wasnt too impressed with the service. All the waiters were super awkward and not very friendly. Very disappointing. If you want decent afternoon tea go to Bow Valley Ranche. This place was terrible.

We went for High Tea and were very disappointed. One scone per person is pretty measly. (Although they were delicious and the highlight of the offered menu.) The clotted cream tasted more like butter whipped with some cream and did not look or taste like real clotted cream. The small savory bites (literally a tiny bite) were very good but with only one per person the offerings were extremely small. The sandwiches were underwhelming and nothing we couldnt make at home. The desserts were very disappointing with most of the offerings being quite bland. Our server was okay but the staff does not have the level of professionalism required to charge these prices. They also just refill your teapot with hot water, rather than refreshing with a new tea bag. Very expensive for what is offered and Im not a big eater. Tea is supposed to be a lovely experience and this was not that.

Airy sit down restaurant, very attentive staff who are so helpful with describing dishes and giving recommendations. Beautiful outside flower garden to walk through.

Every time I come to the Deane House staff the bartender the food is always exceptionally great.

The pork dish was bad, and the crepe cake was terrible. Try to get the basics right before you make out this articulated menu that tastes terrible. The dishes came warm, too they should have been hotter. The jazz was really good and the service was great but the food was bad. Will not be returning.

Came here for afternoon tea. The assortment was delightful. Each person can choose their own tea. The cream was so light on the blueberry scones. My favorite were the pot pie bites, the chimichurri beef, and the grapefruit creme. Served on real China. Lovely time. Limited parking spots. Another couple was having their wedding there shortly after and it looked like a wonderful spot to have a wedding.

Our first time to the Deane House for afternoon tea. I wasnt sure what to expect, but Holy Smokes that was good. Worth every penny

Afternoon Tea was a very great experience! I would love to do it again.

A few of my girlfriends and I had the pleasure of attending afternoon tea at the Deane house yesterday. The food was phenomenal, tea was delicious and the service was great! The house itself is gorgeous, and when we left, we were trying to take a group photo outside and one of the staff ran out to help us! Great service and experience. I would recommend coming here if you enjoy high tea like we do!

We came here with family for a birthday lunch and we were very disappointed! They didnt have the items some of us wanted and the food was not good at all. Total waste of money, I dont recommend this place at all!

Popped in for brunch! Always delicious, I was excited to see they have red fife( a heritage grain that grows locally) sour dough bread! Food

Seriously the best food in the city. Such a neat and historic location too.

Been here a few times over the years, never fails to disappoint.

Went for Afternoon Tea with a friend. We were greeted with very friendly service. Sat at a lovely table by the window. Waitress explained the tea. We ordered wine it came quickly and the wine service was wonderful. We had told our server we d would like the tea tray with our wine to enjoy the savoury items. Then the tea later for the more traditional items. We finished our wine and still no tea tray. We had to ask when it might be coming out. It was over 30 minutes. We were told shortly. Meanwhile the tables on either side. One family of 8 and a deuce had both, been seated after us but were being served. A bit disappointing. When the tea arrived it was beautifully presented both physically and by our server who explained all that was presented. From the fresh scones with the clotted cream to the lamb tarts. All fantastic When we left my tea companion mentioned how lovely the tarts were. The manager asked us to wait and ran to present her with 4 to enjoy at home Overall. Lovely tea. Just needed to be more observant of the timing. I would go back for a special occasion. Would have 5 stars if the timing was better

It is in a quaint and nice setting, which amplifies the experience. The food is tasty and nice.

Wonderful brunch!

Overall love the atmosphere and food in this place but today the afternoon tea was underwhelming and dissapointing at best. I expected that with $65 per person this would adhere not only to the price but the quality that this place should offer. Photo for reference. Definitely not worth the price tag. Plenty of better options for high tea.

Had afternoon tea for the first time at Deane House. Not great. The food was mediocre but the price was well ABOVE average. $65 for very small Barbie sized portions of mediocre food, and okay tea. There are better options in Calgary than this. I do not mind paying for quality but this wasn t it.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are limited but they are able to make accommodations upon request Food

This is late but my partner and I went for the YYC experience. Food was so delicious, well priced and service was friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Four of us had a great meal at Deane House. We enjoyed a wide range of starters and mains - all excellent, lots of innovation and very well prepared. The service was top class too. Highly recommended!

My niece and I came in for some hot chocolate and possible emf readings. Lol. Best hot chocolate weve ever had. All the staff were awesome. They went the extra mile and showed us around. What a cool piece of Calgary history. Definitely recommend

Absolutely wonderful atmosphere here! One of my favourites in Calgary. Food was delicious and very well presented. We did the tasting menu and every part of the experience was worth every penny. The service was outstanding! Overall a really good experience. I am super glad with everything!

I came to Dean house for afternoon tea in this time. I usually come for lunch use with my friends because I like the vibe of this building and the outside garden. Afternoon tea was a bit disappointing. Afternoon tea in Calgary in general is not great, Dean house afternoon tea came in two tiers with 1 scone per person. All the pastries looked cute like home made desserts. For the price, I d expect a bit more high end dessert or at least presentation to be nicer. Scone I got was rhubarb with rhubarb jam and clotted cream. The scone was delicious but not warm. Also one scone per person is a bit small compare to other afternoon tea so have had. Savory pastries were not bad but it did not have any smoke salmon or any meat, pâté etc, unless they weee going for vegetarian theme, it was a bit underwhelming. Overall, I love vibe of this place but afternoon tea was not what I would come back for.

Such a beautiful place and atmosphere! The teatime is so fun and the food was delicious. Also surprisingly filling. Will be back!

Took a friend for lunch for her Birthday, as a special treat. We had been there before and really enjoyed it. This time was real disappointing. Although the service was great, the food left much to be desired and even the coffee wasn t that great. Can t see us returning.

Food was good, portions very small. Service wasn t great unfortunately. Was disappointing to b honest.

We arrived early for our reservation for afternoon tea and were kindly seated right away by a friendly hostess. Our server was not rude but certainly not friendly (especially compared to another server that was helping other tables). He was dismissive and appeared bothered by our request for one vegetarian meal as beef was being served, which was only known once we arrived and saw the tea menu. We had to request another server to have more hot water as he did not ask nor return until our dishes were to be cleared (another server brought out our food). When he brought the bill he hovered over me to immediately pay which was rude, I wasn t going anywhere and only needed to a moment to look over the bill. The food was definitely visually appealing and most tasted very nice. Perhaps a more friendly, attentive server would have led to a more positive experience. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian substitutions were available

Love the space and experience here. A place where I love the offerings, light and ambiance. Def a gem of a dining spot that is mature and I embrace.

I went with a group of 9 for Saturday brunch and thought Deane House was just ok. Our server was friendly and helpful, but it took a while for her to take our order. I got the Pancake Breakfast and to be quite frank, for $28, I was disappointed. While the server explained the Finnish pancakes were not a traditional fluffy pancake, I thought they were going to come with some fruit or whipped topping and it just came with a side of syrup. All in all, a mediocre experience.

Gorgeous venue and great service. Brunch is amazing here..but I will say, you get a bigger bang for your buck with certain brunch items over others. Pancake Breakfast and the Feta Quiche are incredible, but the other options (ex. french toast) feel like you are missing something (aka, youd probably need to order a side with it).

Great service! High-quality food, albeit overpriced. Overall, its a good spot for a special occasion dinner. Very nice cocktails, the best Cosmopolitan I ever had.

Terrific dinner, no reservations and great service. Standouts were the scallops and the risotto - but everything was delicious. Dietary restrictions: Celiac friendly!

Had a lovely English tea lunch with my daughter

As a local Calgary wedding photographer, I can say this is one of my favourite wedding venues in the city! From a photographers perspective, the light, character and set up of the Deane house are all amazing to photograph. We dont have too many venues like this in Calgary which makes it unique. Not only is the location perfect (including all that parking!), but the venue and the staff are amazing to work with. Myself and my couple felt truly taken care of here. The food is amazing, the ambiance is stunning and you and your guests will love getting married here. www.breezephotos.ca

The brunch was with a very good quality, you can experience the difference there. The service was slow and somewhat rushing to leave ( it was a busy weekend)

My sister took me for high tea for my birthday. It was both our first time at Deanes as well as the high tea experience. The atmosphere is cozy. Not extravagant or super fancy. Just a building with a history. The washrooms are located upstairs. Im glad the waitress kept coming by to make sure our hot water was refilled very often for the tea. However, I think high tea in general are way too overpriced for the amount of food you get. I dont think Ill ever try high tea again. Parking: Only 15 free parking spaces

Excellent tasting menu and wine pairings, would not hesitate to return Parking: Good parking

Excellent food and ambience for a relaxing meal. The chocolate whiskey cake was a highlight, as was the attentive service. My spouse had the lamb entree and it was exceptional. As you can see the food presentation was very appropriate and tasteful. Shown in picture is my chicken entree.

Amazing food, worth it. They have a unique take on each dish and it is sure to be a good experience. Both of us were blown away and would go again in a heartbeat.

Loved the atmosphere and service. Have been here for dinner and also a murder mystery and both time it was fantastic

Excellent brunch offerings in a rustic spot on the edge of Inglewood. Highly recommend any of the Eggs Benedict which come with fresh greens and a potato rosti (I had it with the house made ham which was delicious). The space is beautiful and spacious and the staff are welcoming. Give them a visit if you haven t already!

Great historic building that has been setup perfectly for a comfortable dining experience with top notch food. No complaints here.

Such a simple and thoughtfully designed space. Loved having the view of the river on a sunny winter day. Lavender crueler redefines the crueller (chefs kiss). Wheelchair accessibility: WC washroom on the main level.

One of a kind experience all around. Pricey but worth it.

We went there for my wifes bday, and it was amazing! Food was spectacular and we loved the venue.

Fancyyyyy

So disappointed in the afternoon tea. The bread was dry and crusty not fresh and the scones were rock hard. They crumbled and fell apart when trying to cut them. Four of us at the table and all felt disappointed in the food. The servers were lovely. Went back for complimentary afternoon tea. Much appreciated. The food was better second time around. Thank you

Best brunch and high tea place

Valentine s Day dinner done right!

Great for a romantic dinner. The food was spectacular. One of the best Beef Wellington I have eaten in my life.

Visited Deane house for valentines day. The food was great! The wine selection was top knotch and the overall experience was amazing. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable.

Amazing experience Visited this place twice already in the last week. Very warm welcome. Feels like you re visiting your friends or family. They help with your jacket right at the beginning. Then you get to enjoy fairly small and very cosy restaurant area. Great food, music is not to loud , pleasant atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

Excellent service. Delicious food and atmosphere. 5-stars to our waitress. She was professional and upbeat. I highly recommend Deane House for a quiet dinner with family/friends.

Went there for an afternoon tea, the food was pretty average but I loved the location and vibe. I just hope portion size was bigger. They just gave us one bitters for $55 per person which is bit expensive and we even have to ask the server to serve us in proper 3 tiers tray instead of one plate as we were there for an experience and again had to ask the server for milk and sugar with our black tea after waiting for 15 minutes as they didn t give it us. They need work on food portion and service. It was a decent one time experience but I will not consider going back there.

Beautiful, historical place with amazing standards. Staff are very caring and helpful with any allergies. I went for brunch and the menu was stunning. Thank you for the amazing experience. Food : 5/5

Incredible all around. The property is gorgeous with a rich historical background. The staff is well versed with the menu and the history of the building. A rotating menu that ensures the best food with in season Fruits and veg. You MUST GO! Food

Really enjoyed the afternoon tea here. The scones and clotted cream were especially great and there were enough bites and treats to be be filled. Everything was delicious.

Best service of my life:+) I like the bartender:+)

Disappointing food and dessert. For a high-end establishment, theres much to be worked on.

Consistently great! Service is wonderful and the food is always delicious. Great place for brunch or a nice dinner out with friends. Noise level is low which ensures a great atmosphere to catch up with old friends, or a nice date night to get to know one another.

I cant say enough about the service and attention we received for our small event.

We didnt have a reservation and sat at the bar. Tess was amazing and made our experience fantastic. The food was phenomenal as was the incredible list of cocktails. Well worth the visit (we will be back for the tasting menu).

First off, the service and setting were both great. The historical home and surrounding garden provide a unique dining experience. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient. No points off here. Unfortunately, our party was quite disappointed with the quality, and especially value, of the food and drinks. The daily cocktail was a spicy mezcal-rita , of which there seemed to be NO spice or mezcal, and tasted just like a Minute Maid limeade. The oysters were fresh and quite large, but were not shucked well, and contained a lot of pieces of shell and other debris. Between a few of the appetizers and mains, we were not impressed with the value and presentation at all. $60 for a TINY 5oz piece of beef tenderloin which was not cooked anywhere close to med-rare. The slice of chocolate whiskey cake for dessert was, again, very small. Lastly, capped off our dinner with a glass of scotch which must ve been poured out of an eye-dropper. Almost comically small. Given the abundance of other great dining options in Calgary, can t say we ll be visiting here again anytime soon.

We went for mothers day high tea. Honestly because of the price, the food was awful. For 5 the bill came to $420. And everyone was still hungry after. The selection of savory sandwiches and pastis were underwhelming and I found the bread was stale,the curry was bitter,and the rest had very little flavour. The tea was extremely weak.And service was SO slow. I waited about 15 mins for sugar for my tea and by the time it came my tea was luke warm. My daughter was crushed as she had saved up for this afternoon tea for me and she was near tears after we left as she said it was awful and wasted so much money. I told her it was fine and I would go home and make something for everyone to eat. Come on people! $420 and still hungry?! So so disappointed

Came for mothers day high tea, service was not great. They didnt bring spoons for the tea, the honey was watered down, they gave us 4 cubes of sugar for the table. The waitress barely came around. They got my mother the wrong tea, they forgot to get my 10 year old daughter the Jr sandwiches (thank goodness she liked a couple of the adult ones and they did charge only for jr) even after all of this we just made the best of it. Upon leaving my boyfriend texted to ask if we enjoyed our mimosas... I had no idea what he was talking about. I guess he had called to pay for mimosas for our table which we never received. Not impressed. Will not be back and will not recommend. Ps: sandwiches were ok but as some of the other reviews mentioned, it is a light snack lol

We took family from Ontario for dinner. My wife and I had the sablefish. It was horrible and I have had it in several other restaurants where it was a good meal.

Our anniversary meal was made special by the great food and friendly staff.

Just moved to Calgary and found this gem! Sophisticated ambience with refined service. Brunch is not only well presented but actually delicious! We ve been here for dinner as well and the high level of service and quality is consistent.

Deane House is incredible! Went for brunch for the second time there and was blown away. The food is amazing, service is great and the garden is beautiful! Highly recommend

We had a brunch yesterday for our friend s birthday and it was a very bad experience. This was the second time for us at Deane House. We appreciate that you need to check on us if we need something, but not to the extent of overdoing it like every 10 minutes. If we need to order something or have any comment, we will definitely call for our server. But, it was so overwhelming to get out conversations cut again and again! The food! Scrambled eggs were undercooked and this was the main food we wanted our babies to have .. the pastries were good though. The cappuccino and the lattes were not the best. Lattes should have more milk than espresso which was not the case and we had to ask our server to fix that. All in all the experience wasn t good especially for our Birthday friend. We felt super rushed, pushed to order and leave ASAP. Although it is clearly mentioned in the reservation confirmation that a party of 5+ can stay up to 3 hours, we were 6 and we barely spent an hour and a half (11:33AM - 13:10 PM) and were rushed to leave! the server even brought the bill without us asking for it!! extremely unprofessional.

Nice location, good atmosphere, main course was bland. Dessert highly recommended.

Tonight was my second time dining here and Deane House impressed us once again. Exceptional service and the seasonal menu make this a great place to revisit. The sablefish and the East coast oysters are my favourite (might even hold my current title of best oysters in Calgary). Definitely a hidden gem in the city and a place worth visiting for some delicious food and cocktails. Would love to come back for high tea.

Alex s service made a world of a difference. Michelin caliber service. Loved the place. It s a old quaint home converted into a restaurant. Very cutely done. Perhaps as good as it gets category - Beef Tenderloin. Sushi soft. Medium rare - the Oysters V good - must order again - the Lamb. Although the merguez needs to be less oregany - their green hot sauce paired with oysters - lamb appetizer Avoid - the Halibut fritters. V fishy!

We came in last night as a group, for a celebration. I was incredibly impressed by how professional, and kind the staff was. They were all extremely accommodating! The food was amazing. I ve never had oyster mushrooms before, and they were delicious. The ambiance was incredible. We were upstairs in the library, and I felt like we were transported back in time. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. The wait staff was attentive as well.

The Dean House is an amazing spot , if you get a chance to sit outside in the garden it s beautiful..but not sure what s with the staff . We thought one time they were just having a bad day , came back just as Cranky , attended a wedding and cranky .. we are nice people .. enjoy eating out and always have great conversations with servers .. so I have no idea.. so sad as the food and garden is so nice ..

The history can be felt and the atmosphere is just so slow down, relax, and take pleasure in the little things. Such a great spot!

Perfect spot for a date night or fine dining with friends. Beautiful views of the Bow River and historical vintage upscale decor. The food and wine was exceptional.

What a memorable experience. Dining with dear friends that we don t see near often enough. The meal was absolutely delightful, from the scallop and crab appetizers, to the sablefish and pork loin entrees, and then the maple cake dessert. A class act. The servers delighted us with their fun personalities and house history lessons, AND ghost stories. A memorable night. Can t wait to go back. Q

The menu looked really tasty and the lady pouring our water was lovely however we didn t get to try anything else. I took my dad here for a Father s Day brunch, we were sat at 11:50 and all we got is water until we left to eat elsewhere at 12:15.

Celebrated a birthday out on the patio. We enjoyed our unconventional dishes. I had the roasted Sable fish with watercress puree.

Deane House is an amazing experience featuring the best of Canadiana.

Always love food place. Food and service are extraordinary. Its a perfect place for celebration or just to meet up with friends.

Based on the fact that they cancelled my birthday dinner after OpenTable let me book and they called me once but no text/email etc.. nor did they try and called me again .. so I didn t find out until I checked the app 3 hours before my anticipated dinner. I get things happen with scheduling but it would ve been appreciated to make more of an effort to get in contact. Location is beautiful and the food is excellent. Had asked for a followup call to provide feedback and never heard anything. Great place overall just a shame sometimes the communication isn t great.

TLDR: got food poisoning from the meat at dinner, great service, and gluten free options are excellent. Would also recommend the high tea, really well done and nice tea selection. My family and I have gone here twice now. Once for high tea, the other for dinner. The high tea was amazing, the best we ve had in Alberta and their gluten free options were tasty and did not taste processed at all. The reason for the one star review is for the dinner. Two of us had the lam rib appetizer and after dinner we both felt very sick. The dinner food was not worth the price and did not taste good. The spices and ingredients they use are good and well prepared, however the cooking and preparation of the meat is awful. It was a very disappointing experience after having such a great high tea experience. The service has always been exceptional and I really love the atmosphere as well. The restaurant is in a beautiful four square home. It is too bad that I have to give a one star because of the food poisoning and overall dinner preparation. I would not recommend dining here at all, unless you go for high tea, and then I think you would find yourself having a 5-star experience. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options for dinner and high tea are really good, the GF sandwiches are tasty and the chefs can be very creative.

We did the tasting menu and Sundays are definitely the days to got for it. The courses are small, but tasty. Its definitely a way to try new food without having a full plate of it. Its hard to rate for just the food as there are some things I wasnt a huge fan and then some things I absolutely loved (Bison is amazing!!!). The service was incredible and very informative. Would definitely go again.

A historic local with charm, great food and the service to match. Have been here mainly for brunch and it has been an exceptional experience every time! Food : 5/5

Another wonderful meal at Deane House We popped in for the 3-5 Happy Hour. WE had 2 appetizers and a lunch entrée item The Red Lentil Hummus is sooo good, it is a must try Our server (Taylor) was wonderful), terrific service ethic. I follow a low salt diet. Taylor relayed this to the kitchen and they made several alterations for us. On of them was to substitute their house-made rice crackers for the hard cracker that comes with the humus the rice crackers were delicious, try them with the hummus. The front of the house staff are so gracious. Thank you, Ricardo, for the bonus pour of pinot-grigio New fall menu, another wonderful evening at Deane House! We dine at Deane House every couple of months and were there for dinner this week. They changed the menu for fall and there are a number of new items. We wanted to try as many new things as we could so we had four starters. We both had the masala mussels; delicious, a real rich taste without overpowering and the mussels were some the plumpest I have ever had like they were hand picked. And the frites, as always, the best matchstick fries that mussels demand. I really like the selection of wines by the glass (we tried 4 different wines), full marks for the variety, quality and price range. The sun was just setting on a clear night and the city view from the veranda was like a picture postcard. Service at Deane House is just simply the best. We were served by Craig and Katy, they set the stage and put you right at ease. Everything in this restaurant just flows, tranquil and professional all the time Thank you DH staff / Laura & Randy

Love the place and the ambiance. Its so quaint.

It was our 35th anniversary and we were looking for a special dinner. We tried the chefs tasting and it was fantastic! The variety and flavors were an exceptional experience. Portions were a bit small. Ricardo and the team ensured that our allergies were accommodated and they went the extra special mile to make sure our special date was indeed special. Thank you to our server who was friendly and very helpful.

Gorgeous setting. Stunning garden. Live jazz very nice. Comfortable patio. Food was tasty. Service was friendly and mostly attentive. Very easy to ring up a huge bill! Parking: Limited parking lot.

We had a great dinner here with great service. We would definitely recommend coming here!

The garden was exquisited

Our favorite stop when driving through Calgary!

Went to Deane house for dinner and very much enjoyed being in the garden in a beautiful summer evening. The drinks were really good and the food was tasty!

Amazing place for an afternoon tea experience! Great food that is well sourced for the specific season and a good selection of teas and great range of savoury and sweet treats to go with it! They also make their own clotted cream which was fantastic accompaniment along with the berry compote for the scone.

Amazing everything! Nice casual atmosphere with an upscale menu and service. Will definitely be back!

This was a bucket list check off! The atmosphere was great service was ok! Food was sub par had the halibut plate it came out what looked like frozen peas corn and vegetables with halibut on top!! No impressed for the price! The oysters were very small and received small amounts of sauce with order! Wife s food was warm not hot! Not very impressed for wanting to dine out at a fine dining restaurant! Over priced for what we received and spending over a thousand dollars wouldn t go back!

My husband and I recently brought our friends to eat here after their recent engagement. We shared some wonderful food here and the staff went over and above to make their day even more special. Thank you very much. We will come visit again on our travels.

Momma and I Food : 5/5

Absolutely spectacular! Every dish was prepared to perfection and the service from numerous staff members was impeccable. Thank you to our main server Alex for the humorous banter and professional service. We will be back.

Charming restaurant!

Good place

Incredible wedding! Everything was perfect!

Great experience with the afternoon tea! Friendly service, delicious food and comforting orange pekoe. Wonderful atmosphere to gather and connect with my nieces visiting Calgary. Parking: Limited spots in the parking lot

Nice Sitting area for Gathering and nice looks behind Rover Bow views two minutes Walk good Stage and other Set up....

Excellent service and a great atmosphere. Our waitress was super as was the rest of the wait staff. The location is super special. Unfortunately, the food portions are rather small and completely missing any starch. My partner and I had two different fish mains. Both were a small piece of pan seared fish with a small portion of vegetables and sauce. No starch (rice, potato, pasta) accompanied either plate. We also had oysters to start as it was their special that day. We had several that were pourly shucked with the meat still being attached to the shell and lose bits of shell among the meat. The night was nice enough but I cant say we will be back. It was a nice experience but it left both of us wanting more. Dietary restrictions: They are very flexible and willing to accommodate dietary needs.

Excellent food, excellent atmosphere.

The food was so delicious. The service was amazing and atmosphere was great. I will return.

Lovely property. The food was fantastic. Service was great. Local and seasonal ingredients make for a unique menu. I definitely recommend it.

Its a building that gives you a sense of Calgarys history, has a great atmosphere, and the food is delicious. I was a little worried about bringing my kids there, but it was a family-friendly restaurant. I would love to come again.

This is a place for those looking for a nice, peaceful place to go

We had a wonderful brunch at the Dean house yesterday. The service was wonderful. The food was so tasty and beautifully presented. What a wonderful location. Food

Great service,

The Deane House Gardens are beautiful and one of my favorite spots in Inglewood, Calgary.

Great food.

Our team from Twisted Photo Booths had a site visit today with Megan (event coordinator) to review the setup space for an upcoming Christmas event. Megan was very helpful, along with Ricardo who answered several of our questions. Following our meeting we enjoyed an amazing lunch in their dining room - our Server was very friendly, very professional and a great personality for that position. We ordered the Ginger Beets, Pork Schnitzel and a few special cocktails which were amazing. What an enjoyable lunch experience. We highly recommend the Deane House for any special event your may be organizing.

Good food but quite noisy private room also had a centre piece/light fixture that made it impossible to see across the table and have a conversation

The food here is okay, I would put it middle of the road compared to similar restaurants. Dined for supper this eve. I had the tartare and chicken. The tartare was okay. It came with greasy chips stuck into the tartare at the base. The tartare itself was simple, maybe something interesting added would be nice. It would be okay to share, but was too one note for me to eat the whole thing. The chicken was delish. It was a large enough portion that I didnt need an appy. I would order this again. Decent drink menu and well priced beer and wine by the glass.

We had a wonderful Christmas party dinner at the Dean house. The service was excellent. The food was so tasty, top grass grilled beef tenderloin which is my favorite. Only one thing is not good,If they are busy, not easy to find a parking spot.

Amazing service. 8/10 experience.

* Underwhelmed and disappointed * I had been to Deane House in 2019 and loved it. The atmosphere, the food quality and portions, and the service all stood out. However, it felt like a completely different restaurant this time around. I d like to caveat that our server was fantastic and clearly excellent at her job, however, there was two servers for the whole restaurant. Our server clearly had too big of a section and things slipped up and wait times were very very long. The (assumed) manager was not assisting and seemed more to be doing odd jobs behind the bar instead of supporting the staff. The appetizers were good, but again, not the quality it used to be. The most disappointing part of the evening was the ONLY vegetarian main, the Quinoa and potato roasti. For 32 dollars, you got an incredibly thin slice of quinoa stuck together with potato (had no seasoning and without the sauce was like eating dry quinoa). It had some stewed peppers under it and two small bok choi pieces. It was smaller than one of our appetizers and had no nutritional value for a vegetarian. Lastly, I understand that some bugs are uncontrollable, but there were black flies everywhere. To the point where one went for a swim in my drink and it had to be replaced. I won t be returning sadly, because the location is great. *note: we did complain about the mains and no action was taken.*

Recently attended an outdoor event here that was excellent. Food was great and staff was friendly.

Great service and brunch was delicious.

Was a disappointing experience. After confirming over the phone 4 separate times and twice in the restaurant that we had a severe nut allergy, they still managed to get it wrong at afternoon tea and placed macrons with almond flour on the table. After correcting, they didn t check on us again until we were pretty much done and made those with allergies feel really uncomfortable. They also had not given us enough of everything per person and told us the kitchen was out of it and offered no alternatives. For the price per person, it was a very disappointing service and experience for everyone unfortunately, especially since it was for a birthday.

Went to the Terrior Show. Place was amazing and beautiful. I loved the owners story of how she built this business from the ground up. All I can say is keep you head up! There will always be support and helping hands around you!

Service was great and the food quite tasty

Its great! Lovely service and really good food.

The food was delicious!! Portions were a little small but the taste, quality and freshness made it all worth it. Service was on point and everyone was super friendly.

Fresh produces / ingredients, great dinner, impeccable service.

Parking: There is a small parking lot for the restaurant but also theres free parking on the street Food

Overrated

The food and service was beyond amazing. Tantalizing for the tastebuds. A truly exquisite experience. Top 3 dining experiences of my life. The Chefs Tasting Menu was definitely worth it and each course excellently paired with wine. Each dish was unquie and like nothing I had ever had before. Hats off to the chef and menu designer. Wow!

We ate here for our anniversary, and were given a card hand-signed by staff (nice little gesture!). The food was outstanding. We had the Fogo Island Crab and Fresh Oysters as a starter (crab to die for!). For dinner we had the Ewe Nique Farms Chicken and Briggs Farm Bison. Both were incredible! Service was great too.

We made 6 reservations for afternoon high tea and truly the worst we ever had. Sandwiches were stale and hardly no filling in them. Sandwiches and sweets came first, then dried up scones and then tea. It took a long time to get served when we arrived and then priority was getting our table cleaned for the dinner crowd. Tea was served in one pot for 3 of us and we ran out of tea right away and waited a long while for refill. $55/pp not worth $5. Very disappointing
