Reviews for Murrieta's West Coast Bar & Grill in Calgary, AB

Great venue to meet with friends to celebrate together. Apparently, the building was the first hotel in Calgary. Food was... fantastic. Service was great. I had a mixed green salad, the trio dip and this grilled octopus dish. See photo below. Read more

Absolutely amazing place to visit...lighting is amazing, food is amazing, service is amazing, overall atmosphere is amazing...... honestly, I was thoroughly impressed. From a business meeting to a date or casual meal, Murrieta's is a perfect establishment totry out. Their food is truly a delight and well presented, I am most certainly coming back! (Be sure to try the trip dip withbread appetizer) Read more

So this was my experience, located on the first floor there is an access lift for those with disabilities or you can take the... stairs. Arriving there is a waiting to be seated area with seating all across the floor. The ambience is quiet and warm. Easilyable to hold a conversation. The food was actually fantastic the flat bread and 3 dips was great though never enough pita breadwe had to order 2x more but super tasty. The beef tartare was excellent too. Ok this is where it didn't go so well for theplace out of X3 gin and tonics ordered X2 of the glasses served to me had chips on the rim sharp enough to cut. Whileapologetic more care and attention to the serving is definitely needed. The place is more up market so non chipped glasses kindaexpected. A let down as I snagged my lip on a chip which alerted me to it in the first place. Read more

Overall a very nice restaurant. Would return on special occasions. Tonnes of room and nooks and rooms to hideaway in or nice... patio overlooking Stephen Ave if you prefer to people watch. The happy hour food and Price's was lovely and well presented. Thestaff were extremely friendly and helpful Food was excellent and the beer menu had a nice mix of options. Negatives - Drinkswere really slow.. really really slow. The menu was incredibly confusing and not well laid out. There were several differentmenus for drinks food lunch dinner, etc... ( Keep it simple!) The info on happy hour was hard to find online. The menu onlinedidn't match the paper copies for certain items and pricing was unclear. While there was some info on the building itself, Itwould have been nice to have more history / old photos of Stephen Ave or the hotel in the menu to showcase how beautiful thesetting is. It's definitely an underrated gem in Calgary. Read more

Went as a large party for a private event. The place has an ambience to it that takes you back in time. Just amazing and tres... chic. Our server was very polite and answered all our questions and happily considered all the allergies when taking the order.He was also knowledgeable about the wine menu. In terms of food order the "Artisan green" which was disappointing in terms ofboth quantity (small) and taste (bland). Others on the table ordered the "tomato soup" which was definitely better than thegreens. The Flatiron steak was the 2nd course was really cool well, but the only option was medium well. The chocolate browniewas probably one of the best I have ever had and was extremely light. Ended up eating any leftover dessert on the table :) Read more

Lovely location and Great vibe! You don?t expect such a great place when you are going up the stairs. Wednesday wine night was... awesome with half price wines and the steak was juicy and tasty. Cool chuck paintings all over the walls which was great. Read more

I don't know why the big hype. We had reservation at 7pm. They had us wait till 7:45. The hostess was so rude. The food was... nothing special. Who serves tartare with oily and greasy chips instead of baguettes! Also look how terrible this pizza looks, Ittastes bad too. Oh and they double charged us the desert and the prawns. I didn't notice till after we left. I'll never be back. Read more

The atmosphere and service was good and the food was okay. I had the chowder and raw oysters which was okay. I thought the... chowder tasted a little salty but was still good. The prices were reasonable and I didn't have any real complaints. Would goback. Read more
