53 on Ross in Red Deer

The food, the atmosphere and the staff are all amazing, i have dined there twice and both meals have been 5 star (I could eat the focaccia and hay smoked butter all day every day) I would like to try the lunch menu - and the donuts are to die for. Dietary restrictions: They are happy to help with special requests

Best restaurant in red deer! The food was AMAZING and the service was even better! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great experience with GREAT FOOD!

Good food, good service everything you could ask for

Great experience Tairin is the best cook

Had a wonderful night here! Was extremely impressed with all staff, however Tairin made the experience exceptional.

We had an amazing meal which was matched by the staff. Every dish was creative and totally shareable.

The food was good. The service was beyond terrible. I would never recommend this place and will never return. Dietary restrictions: There are very few gluten free options on the menu.

A Gem in downtown - fine dining experience for a great price. My number 1 recommendation in Red Deer! Must visit!

Don t usually leave reviews since I can t be bothered, but the food was so good I had to leave one. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were friendly/helpful, and the atmosphere was really nice as well. Finally, I was expecting it to be expensive, but the prices weren t bad at all for what you get, it was worth every penny!

Overall a great experience

Last night my wife and I went here with a friend. After reading the menu my wife found not a lot of options for herself as she eats clean plant based whole foods. After speaking with our server and trying to figure out what to order our server said she would give us a few pre minutes, moments later the chef himself came out to speak with my wife. He explained that he was informed of the situation, went through the fridge and offered my wife a few options that he could create for her. It was so unexpected that the staff and chef would go out of their way to ensure she had a fantastic dinning experience. Huge shout out to this fantastic quaint little place that serves up fantastic food with staff that are sure to make your experience an amazing one.

Very nice date night spot. Great setting and food was terrific!

We had the opportunity for a belated anniversary dinner and wanted the kind of fine dining experience you find in towns like Banff and Canmore - 53 On Ross did not disappoint! The space is so beautiful and peaceful, what a joy to sit and relax and actually be able to hear the person talking across from you. We made a reservation and we were seated promptly. Our server was absolutely excellent! Polite, funny, attentive (without hovering) and very knowledgeable about the menu. I had the Texan Triple 9 entree - OMG. It might be the best pasta Ive ever eaten (and its handmade!). The beef was melt in your mouth tender, I can honestly say Ive never had a plate of pasta with this kind of flavour profile, I could eat it for every meal of every day. We shared the New Beginnings strawberry cheesecake for dessert - playing was stunning, and the taste - wow. Best cheesecake Ive had in Red Deer. Now, I have two small critiques, and its the only reason this is not a solid 5 star review. My first criticism is regarding the Easily Handled burger (apologies if I got that name wrong). My husband had the burger, I tried it, it wasnt my favourite, I think maybe the meat needed some extra seasoning, and it couldve been a bit hotter? It was luke warm. Im not a chef but any means, but for my tastes, it wasnt for me (or for him). The fries were delicious though! My second small criticism is about the cocktails, not the taste but rather the cost. I had the Arctic Clarity and for $17.00 I did expect a larger portion...it does say on the menu its 2oz but I figured that was the amount of alcohol, not the amount of liquid in the entire drink. The drink was lovely, but the cost is a bit prohibitive in terms of enjoying more than one (which I would have loved!). I think if the price point was more around the $13-$14 range it would still give the feeling of a high-end cocktail but the price would be just low enough to entice a patron to enjoy more than one. That said though, we had a lovely experience and were so glad we chose 53 On Ross for our belated anniversary dinner. Well be back for sure!

Emma was a delight. Super sweet gal :)

Great food and appies. Table of 6 and all enjoyed.

Excellent service! Jeannelle was my bartender and did an amazing job! I will definitely be going back soon.

The French inspired cuisine is a blessing to Central Alberta. The ratatouille with homemade paste is what keeps me coming back lately!

Great service. Fabulous food.

We went to 53rd on Ross for the first time last night. From door to table we were welcomed and treated like old friends. The atmosphere is cozy with unique decor. Tom was our waiter and he was phenomenal, so friendly and personable. We received great food recommendations. I had a small mishap with my meal (no concern with preparation or quality), which was dealt with swiftly and with one (or a few laughs), and our meals were fantastic! We will be back for many more date nights, what a wonderful addition to Red Deers dining scene! Thank you, The Crab Lady

The owner of this place is a chef - you can actually tell. Cute place. Good food. Always a nice hang out place alone or with friends.

Fantastic food. Phil is easily the best chef in red deer Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

We were treated very well by the staff. They were attentive and pleasant and made us feel special. The food was delicious! We both had the salmon in banana leaves with green curry sauce and my partner had the meringue strawberry dessert. The only criticism: we had barely finished our meal when the next seating came early and we were asked to finish and leave. Not too happy about that.

This is a first Class restaurant with great prices and stunning service and food. Great music and atmosphere! We took a 91 year old to her birthday party but I notified staff at Red Deer College and young people are also enthused!!!

Im staying in Red Deer for a few months, coming from Denver, CO. Ive been here twice for date night with my fiance. The food is great and the prices are reasonable especially considering the quality of the food and good portions. Would recommend to anybody looking for a fine dining meal, but doesnt want to break the bank

Wowowowow Red Deer, we are SO lucky to have a restaurant like 53 on Ross!!! My husband and I both had the steak for dinner and we agreed we havent had a steak that amazing in YEARS. The atmosphere is amazing - it felt like we were transported to a bistro in Europe. And yall do NOT want to miss out on dessert - we had the one called New Beginnings I believe, and it was seriously the tastiest and most fun treat! Chef Phil was so kind and put an anniversary message on the plate for us. This is our new local spot for a nice meal in the City. :)

Great staff, warm and welcoming. Superb dinner menu and excellent desserts.

I was really looking forward to coming here and have been hesitant to say something, for over a month now. I went when the special was the Seoul Fish, I couldnt eat more than one bite and took it home to my partner who also wouldnt eat it. I didnt say anything at the restaurant cause I dont like that kind of confrontation. The steak tartare was very mid in my opinion after seeing such great reviews on it. Id like to come back here for my anniversary and give it another chance, because everything else was lovely. I just dont know.

What a terrible experience! It s very pretentious, overpriced, and the food was very disappointing. The service was poor, but what do you expect when an 18% tip is automatically added to the bill. Here s a tip, number the seats at your tables, that way when the food is expedited, the servers can present each dish to the appropriate guest instead of standing at the end of the table barking out the orders like we were at a greasy spoon diner! I ordered the Coastal Climbing (Paella) which states on the menu comes with prawns and assorted seafood. What I was served were 3 prawns and what I can only imagine was a can of muscles! The rice was a soggy mess, and the sauce was nothing more than tomatoes and what I assumed was the juice from the aforementioned canned muscles. For $28.50 I expected much better. The Butchers Block Rotational Steak, which we were told was a sirloin tip (a cheap cut) was selling for $76, absolutely ridiculous!! I will never darken their doorstep again! Shame on you for calling yourself a fine dining experience!

We were here last night for our two year anniversary. I had two drinks, my wife had one, we shared a starter and then we both had the steak special. The ravioli starter wasnt too bad, but it could have more filling and a bit more flavor at the $24 price point. The steaks were cooked well, although Id argue that it definitely wasnt 10 oz. of meat on the plate, the baby roasted potatoes with the aoili were great. What we werent expecting, was the $240 bill at the end of the meal. The drinks were excellent, but did I think they were worth close to $20 a piece? Probably not. The steaks were $65, which, I get with the price of everything right now, isnt terrible, but I would expect just a bit more, and more flavor, for the price you pay. Ive been just as impressed by meals elsewhere, where, with drinks included, were paying around the $140-150 mark. I just dont see the extra $100 being justified, as we werent completely wowed by each bite. Its unfortunate, because the atmosphere and the service were fantastic, but I know I could go to some fancier restaurants in edmonton or calgary and be even more impressed while spending the $240 that we did here.

Atmosphere service food and drinks were amazing we will be back! Thank you for the lovely evening! Food : 5/5

I absolutely adore 53 on Ross. Phil and Natalie are the most adorable owners ever and ALL of their food and drinks are incredible. I am from the Okanagan Valley and so far we have come to Red Deer ESPECIALLY for 53 on Ross for every special occasion. Couldnt recommend more!

We went with friends and it was a lovely evening. Emma was our server and she was amazing. Her knowledge of the menu and her recommendations were so appreciated. The meal was fantastic and we can t wait to go again!

We were celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary, 53 On Ross had several very positive reviews and so we thought wed give it a try. We made a reservation, arrived on time, we were seated right away, there were maybe 4 other parties in the restaurant. We ordered a couple of cocktails, perused the menu and put in our order and we waited. Tables all around us were being served, tables that arrived after us were being served. The waitress brought the wine that we ordered to go with our meal, but no meal. And we waited. After some more waiting the waitress came to our table and she asked us if we were interested in dessert. Dessert!? We havent had our main yet! She mumbled some sort of apology and left. We waited just a little bit longer and finally left after an hour of waiting. Before leaving we spoke with the person in charge and expressed our disappointment with the whole dining experience. There were no explanations offered, just a cursory apology. When we arrived the atmosphere was promising, but that didnt last long. The service was not good. Unfortunately, I cant rate the quality of the food as it was never served. Had a reasonable explanation been offered for the poor service we could maybe understand this slight and be forgiving as sometimes things happen. But as it stands now, we wont likely be making a reservation again at 53 On Ross.

I just found a treasure and had to share it! This restaurant is absolutely AMAZING in all aspects! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing! The staff is so friendly and ready to answer our questions! We were lucky to have Emma as our server today! She is just so sweet and gave us wonderful suggestions! Now the food wow!!!!! I highly recommend the Hillside Hogs! Could eat that all day long!!! Congratulations to Chef Phil Warren! I could feel his passion on my plate! Thank you for that wonderful experience!!! The rose wine was excellent, also recommend! My husband loved the Easy Lemonade, so I had to try that as well! Delicious!!! I can t recommend this restaurant enough! Go and give yourselves a treat!!!

We absolutely loved this place. The food was high quality, well thought out and locally sourced! The service was great with a great attention to detail and customer needs. The Chef/owner was kind, courteous, and gracious. Would definitely go back. I cant wait to see what they come up with for the next seasons menu! Vegetarian options: I loved the beautiful vegetarian options on the menu! Not just a salad and a portobello mushroom! The ratatouille was a great depth of complex flavors that made want more!

Incredible new restaurant in Red Deer. The food is amazing, they have great lunch menu items and some of the best cocktails I ve ever had. Can t wait to try the dinner menu and dessert as I ve heard great things.

First time at your establishment, on the patio, great service by Chelsea, and excellent food and drinks, I had the rose wine. She made my friend sangria, which she loved, went with her recommendations. Korfu keepsakes on food choices as it was our first time and DELICIOUS, SO happy we decided to stop in, will be back soon,

What an incredible place! Food was absolutely amazing. Definitely worth checking out for a date night, regular dinner night or lunch! They have it all

Amazing food and staff, Jett, Lucy and Phil(the chef) are the absolute best, will definitely be back. This is definitely the best restaurant in Red Deer!!

Very delicious, amazing presentation, and incredible staff! We are excited to visit again! Parking: Day time parking is paid. Evening and weekend parking is free.

Not sure if I came on a bad night but I was so looking forward to come to this place for my son birthday and the whole evening was a bad experience.. first i went sat at the bar while waiting for my son told the hostess it also my son birthday after 15 minutes someone finally ask me if i was looked after , the place was not busy. I finally got a glass of wine. Once he arrived, we decided to sit on the patio again, not busy !!!! the waitress came and took our order. we went thru with her twice to make sure it was right and to make sure it was gluten-free. We ordered seoul food ,Allium Yoru , one special which was sole and a gustreaus pantry. After 25 minutes, she brings us the gustreau and allium yoru . She even ask us if this order was ours ..I asked her what happened to the other appetizer and my fish she looked at me like she had no clue what I was asking her she stood there looking at me like I had 2 heads and couldnt say nothing I said were went thru our order twice with you said she missed understood Really ???? She ask me if I wanted to order some more food. I said no, obviously you forgot my order. We were so hungry that my son and myself split the meal that we received I went to the bathroom and saw the owner at the bar ask her if the waitress was ok because she was totally clueless about our order and didnt look OK and i mention she forgot To order half our meal ..the owner was as confused as I was ! Even the manager walked by, very confused that half my meal was never ordered. I even expressed to her how much I was looking forward to be eating in her establishment from a tour I did with the city of Red Deer. She ask me of I wanted to order more food I told her I was still hungry and at this point the experience to have a good meal and celebrate my son birthday was done and it will be faster to get a couple tacos at taco loft .One girl came to apologize to my son, and that was the end of an evening.I never in my life had experience like this!very disappointing!!!! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free vegan

Had very high hopes going here and it was wonderful! The food was delicious, I especially loved the Allium Yoru. Good sized portions and the cocktails and mocktails were new and fun (mine was smoked!). Atmosphere was great, so chic. And the staff went above and beyond, ao friendly and accommodating. I cant wait to go back to try the lunch menu and patio (which is dog friendly). New favourite dinner spot Vegetarian options: I ordered all vegetarian (and some vegan) even though I eat meat, and they were delicious, well crafted dishes, and left me satisfied. Gluten free options too!

The food is incredible. They have great gluten free options.

We had an amazing experience all around . From sweet Lucy at the door when we arrived to the wonderful and attentive servers and staff, we were thoroughly happy with every aspect of our 1st visit to this beautiful restaurant . The drinks were tasty and our particular drink had a cute little back story behind its name which we were intrigued to learn about. The food was delicious and flavourful, very reasonably priced and a perfectly sized portion. We highly recommend the salmon and the beef tartare! The chef happened to pop by and introduce himself and it was so nice to chat with him about his concepts and future plans with the restaurant. We will be back and we are so happy that Red Deer has 53 on Ross. We needed it!

Nice atmosphere French bistro style. Friendly staff that still had to learn how to present service if you spill wine on tabe you have to cleaned dont put serving bottle on top because when my partner wants be a gentleman this hidden wine ended up on my dress. Food , if I order beef tartar I am expecting beef tartar, not beef meat with fish taste, if I want fish taste ill order tuna tartar. In conclusion 3 starts because of the lady in pink pullover on Saturday night she was amazing other wise probably 1.5

Loved the space, our waitress was so smiley and giving it her absolute all! Definitely going back for patio season!

First time at 53 on Ross and definitely one to remember! Our server Alexis walked us through every single item on the menu since we had no idea what to get because everything sounded great! We went with her recommendations and we were very pleased. Cocktails were so so good we tried 4 different ones Alexis recommended. We will definitely be back and will be requesting the same server. Thanks for the great night!

I ve eaten here a few times and both have been amazing and delicious! The atmosphere is suburb and it is a pleasure not having to drive to the bigger cities to eat flavours and quality that are this amazing! Everything from the service, atmosphere, drinks and food are incredible. Thank you Chef Phil and team!

Amazing experience! Brianna was an incredible server, and the food was delicious! Will definitely be back soon!

Service was top notch, friendly and genuine. Atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I really dug the curved wood bar top. I had the 8oz AAA strip loin steak, asparagus peas and strawberry cheese cake for dessert. All were delicious, maybe the tastiest cheesecake I ve had yet. I admittedly have had a few better steaks in that price range, but it was still great and I d order it again. My only complaint and it s minor, is that it was a tad too salty for my liking. Overall, great experience. I would definitely come back next time I m in town!

Atmosphere, including the background music, is relaxing and inviting. The food is delicious and the smoky old fashioned was beyond excellent. Have the New Beginnings dessert, you will not be disappointed.

First time coming to this new gem of a restaurant in downtown red deer. We had a fantastic server, Brandon. Very personable, courteous, and a great sense of humour. Brandon truly made the experience even better. The food was great .We ate it too fast to get pictures. Started with the soufflé, fantastic. My wife got the bison lasagna main dish. Again, superb. I got the porkchop. Perfectly cooked, flavourful, and the rice noodles were great with it. I was sad when it was over. Drinks were great as well. I got a smoked old fashioned. We finished with the cheesecake desert. Possibly the best desert I ve had. It was almost a mousse type cheesecake. So good. 10/10. Will definitely go again.

Phenomenal food, and a great experience! Thanks Chef Phil!

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service. A wonderful first experience with this gem of a new restaurant! Congratulations to Chef Phil and crew...youve won some new fans tonight.

We had an excellent experience at 53 on Ross. The food was delicious, staff were great and the atmosphere was lovely. Make a reservation if you want to go on the weekend, as its been fully booked on Fridays and Saturdays and it is not a large space.

This chef is an artist and we follow him where ever he goes ! Everything we ordered was amazing but the experience all together was unmatched! Immediately when we walked in the ladies welcomed us and complimented me and my outfit I was so flattered haha. Service was amazing ! We mostly had Janelle helping us and she really impressed us. She was the cherry on top of the whole experience! Thank you !

This was hands down the most exquisite meal I have had in red deer, nothing was missed. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.

Great food and great service. Nice to have such a wonderful restaurant in Red Deer!

Tasty meal and amazing service! Soufflé and risotto were divine. Must try if you re in the area!

Service and food were both amazing. Something on the menu for everyone! Great for a date night, special event, or even business lunch. Beautiful decor, feels like Euro bistro. Definitely recommend

I had the Texan 999, the dish was the best I ve had in Red Deer. The service team was excellent and always there when you needed them. Cocktails were soooo good. Can t wait to eat here all the time

What a beautiful restaurant! The food is incredible and the service is top notch. Will definitely be going back.

Great atmosphere and amazing food! The service was great! A must try in Red Deer!

WOW! This place is amazing. Each dish we have tried has exceeded expectations. Chef Phil s passion is clearly seen in the atmosphere, service, and of course, the outstanding food. Red Deer is truly lucky to have such a unique and delicious dining experience. We can t wait to go again!

Brandon took great care of us! Chef Phil knows exactly what hes doing and happy to see his creations come to life very delicious and gorgeous ambient interior, making date night that much more special. I loved the housemade chocolates with the bill, they press them every morning with their emblem. Cant wait to see what Chef Phil will be up to in the future. Definitely will be back with some girlfriends

The food was amazing, the service was amazing and the decor was fantastic. This is a great addition to red deer and I highly recommend! ( The food was so good we couldnt wait to take photos! ;) )

The food was absolutely on point. The small plates are delicious and good to share if you want (or not)! Customer service is also great and the cocktail menu was creative. I highly recommend visiting.

We had the absolute privilege of dining at 53 on Ross tonight. My husband and I eat out A LOT and we enjoy our steakhouses. Both of us agreed that this is hands down the best food we have tasted in over 10 years. Everything from the beef tartar appetizer to his steak and my salmon, tasted out of this world. The blond hostess with short curly hair ( sorry I did not get names) was a hard worker and very professional and welcoming. The male manager who worked Friday late afternoon/early evening on Friday, March 8 was highly personable, witty, and seemed to genuinely care about how your experience was. We had a brunette server with shorter curly hair at first and she was great as well. I overheard the male manager speaking with his multiple employees tonight with utmost care , professionalism, and respect. That, in my books, is so nice to see. A manager respecting his employees and treating them well. 10/10 would recommend. We have found our new favourite restaurant and will for sure be back. Run, don t walk Red Deer. You won t be disappointed. PS- the hand crafted cocktails were incredibly tasty as well.

Best food in Red Deer , original , delicious .A pleasure for the eye and taste buds. Definitely try their cheese cake dessert (to die for).

Hands down the most delicious dining experience.

Good, ambiance, and service was absolutely top notch. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience!
