They can be a very busy little place, but if you have some patience, the servers are pretty fantastic and friendly with a good sense of humor. The menu has a lot of healthy options and they put a twist on common items. I had the Nomad Bowl, it's like Eggs Benedict except it's all on a bed of spinach. It was very good. Personally, I would not bring small children, fussy eaters, or be in a rush. My best guess is from the time you sit until food is in front of you might be 20 minutes. It's worth it.

I had a tonne of time to kill at the airport, Sat here and quietly read a book, ordered the hawaiin pizza which was SO good. Thin crust, not too salty... I loved the hard iced-tea too. I gave 3 star service because the waitress brought me my receipt without asking if I was even finished, which I wasnt! It wasnt busy at all, nobody was waiting for a table or anything .I got the hint to leave, very uncomfortable at that point. Staff didnt seem happy what-so-ever in general.

Sat in the restaurant different times and was not even acknowledged even after I directly addressed the young lady working. Apparently her 1 table of 4 kept her very busy. They were young and handsome and I was old and female. The food is great at this restaurant. I work at the airport and have frequented the take out side. Might help the service to have more than one server and maybe one not looking for a date.

Went to Bistro on the Bow last night while I was waiting for my friend's flight to get in. Sat at the bar and had amazing service from Stephanie! She was bartending and also serving. Never had to wait for a drink and she recommended the pizza to me when I asked what I shod try. The pizza was amazing and very decently priced, especially for the airport. Great experience overall from the food, service and atmosphere! And thanks Stephanie for keeping me company while I waited - you're awesome

The service here was horrible. I have never written a review before but I had to after how I was treated here. I ordered 2 drinks and our waitress did not check in with us after at all, even though I wanted to order. When I ordered her to come over she brought the bill over which made no sense. The whole time I was waiting for someone to serve me she was just chatting with coworkers. Easily the worst service I have had.

An awesome place at the airport across International Arrivals. Great pizzas and their jasmine rice bowl is to die for! Even better for flight crew and airport workers they offer 50% off on pizzas and 20% on the other menu items. Definitely worth a visit and my go to place whenever I have a layover at the airport hotel.

We stopped in here for dinner before heading to our hotel to start our vacation. Our server Sarah was so nice when she sat us down. She suggested add ons to our meal which was so good. The wine she suggested was amazing. Highly suggest checking this place out, and hope you get Sarah as she is amazing !!!

Very .....very expensive ..one small pizza and two drinks was 80 dollars..if you don't need to eat or drink.....go elsewhere . That said service was fine. The pizza was tasty but had way too much chili oil on it. Each slice had oil dripping off when you tried to eat. Made my friends trip uncomfortable as he had oil that dripped from the pizza Ll over a white shirt .

Great spot right in the airport near international arrivals. Service is quick and food is good. Prices are reasonable considering it’s in an airport. Definitely would recommend a stop if you’re in the airport or a little early while waiting to pick someone up. I’ll definitely be back!

Great experience. Was greeted quickly with a smile. The selection of beers on tap was good. The selection of food had something for everyone. I was in a little bit of a rush so I ordered a poutine. The food came out quickly and was piping hot and delicious. The service stood out, the lady (pictured) was attentive and informative and she did give me her name but I have since forgotten. Will return again!

  • Tony Rein REBEL

It was my first time experiencing this place, it was recommended by many of my coworkers. The server was welcoming and greeted us with a smile, nice little vibe and ambiance considering its right in the airport arrivals area. The pizza and fries were what I enjoyed the most.

A great steak sandwich and burger, but the vegetable rice bowl didn't have a lot of flavour. My mom noticed quite a few of the fries had black spots, the kind you would cut off when you slice a potato.

Given it is a restaurant at an airport, the food was much better than we expected. It was our first meal in Canada and the food was delicious.

Unfortunately, we couldn't check our bags in Calgary yet, so we had lunch here. We had a very tasty burger. The staff was friendly. We also enjoyed the Canadian non-alcoholic beer there. The price was relatively high, but within the typical range of an airport. More

  • Jeff Lui

Was too hungry and forgot the photos! I did oder the spicy beef pizza and poutine. The pizza wasn't overly spicy but tasted good. Very thin pizza offered a crispy bite. The poutine was ok, only a few pieces of cheese. Would try the pull pork next time! More

  • Shannon Counihan

The food is pricy... while the pizza is good its on almost like a tortilla wrap and there are not to many toppings. I haven't tried anything else but I would recommend something other then the pizza for the price More

  • Tom Ferrel

Nothing wrong with this place. The prices are almost reasonable for being at an airport. Food was quite good and the service was excellent. Recommended if you need a stopover before or after flights for sure.

  • Jacob Stalnaker

After a pretty long travel day I stopped in to have lunch. The wait staff was very prompt and helpful the food I feel was fairly priced especially for an airport and was also very good! More

  • John Blickensderfer

Rose was super friendly and efficient. Wonderful service! Came in initially after our flight for a quick drink, but because Rose’ enthusiasm was infectious, we came back for dinner! More

  • Sandra Boos

Snooty waitress! At $10.50 a pint one would expect an honest pour. Not all that foam! Missing Ireland and marked glasses that ensure this doesn’t happen. More

  • Kate Joyce

Amazing, attentive and kind service from Sarah W. She was on top of our ski group orders! (Our shuttle to Banff was delayed). The food was quite tasty! More

  • Gareth Hughes

Delicious pizza, really enjoyed the 88 Brewing Wave Pool, and Roselyn took great care of us. Will definitely be back! More

  • chris carroll

Nice thin pizza very thin! With good topping better then most airport fast food. Fries appeared to be oven cooked. More
