Grilled octopus is my favourite. I order it every time I’m there. The steak (rare) seemed to melt in my mouth. Biggest challenge for me is deciding what to order as I’ve never had a bad experience. Staff seemed genuine and were attentive. I will continue to support restaurants that support local producers. Can’t wait to dine again.

We had one fairly picky person in our party that requested some specifics on his order. So, before the chef cooked his meal, he came out to our table to make sure he understood what he wanted. That was cool

The staff went out of their way to accommodate the physical limitations of our 90 year old parent. We were moved to a more accessible area which as very much appreciated. The duty manager who seated us and took initial orders and then server were attentive and very professional. Our meals were first rate. Reason for 4 star for ambience is the choice of music did not work for us from a dining pleasure perspective and the sound level as we found it made conversation difficult.

Bonterra is one of our go-to restaurants, the food is always amazing and the ambience is excellent! I usually go during warmer weather to sit on the best patio in Calgary, but new years day in Calgary is not conducive to dining al fresco :-) so this was my first time dining inside - not as lovely as the patio of course but it was still very nice. The food was so good - there was 6 of us for a birthday dinner and so we were able to try a good variety of items on the menu, everything was well prepared and delicious, and the Bartender's Baby cocktail special was a big hit. Best of all was our server, she was an absolute delight and very attentive and friendly (without overdoing it).
