    Lovely food, service, and ambiance. Lots of brunch options on the menu at various price points.

    Afternoon Tea
    Amy M.

    Afternoon Tea service at Deane House was gorgeous! The savory treats were our favorite chicken pot pie, cucumber and onion tart! The tea was delightful with the strawberry green selection and darjeeling!

    Sour cherry scones, clotted cream, and peach jam.

    Loved the set up, lots of people though very noisy. Which is fine but I could barely hear my aunt from across the table. We went for afternoon tea, cost about $130 not including gst and tip. The tea was good, the scones were warm and very tasty. The clotted cream was good and the peach jam was phenomenal. The tray consisted of a lot of different foods. My favourites were the sandwich, curry pie, raspberry tart, and ginger and rhubarb tart. The food was either very bland or extremely salty? Especially the salt! My aunt hardly touched most of the food and I tried to but I was drinking tons of water after each bite. You think they'd try their food before serving it. Very disappointing at the price you pay. I mean everything was salty even the cheesecake. Was a once in a lifetime experience, 100% could've been better. The people who served us were lovely and everyone was kind. Just disappointed in the food.

    When I use the word amazing to describe our experience at Deane House, it is an understatement. My family and I had a reservation and were seated immediately on arrival. Our server Katie (sp?) was so attentive. She served us water right away and gave us the specials for the day. We came prepared to eat a lot since we had heard so many great things about the menu. We ordered the beet salad, shrimp, crab, mussels, and fish/rice cakes to start. The beet salad was delicious - beets so fresh and earthy and the bee pollen complemented the flavor so well. If you love beets, I would definitely recommend trying it. Shrimp - definitely a unique experience - the shrimp is raw but very sweet and pairs well with the pickled red onions and herbs. Crab - my favorite starter with the different levels of flavor including some spices mixed in with the fresh crab atop poached leek. The fresh bread was crusty on the outside and so soft on the inside, perfect for dunking in the mussel broth Mussels - I'm not normally a huge fan of mussels, but I ate so many of the mussels this time around as they were so plump and juicy, and cloaked in a delicious spiced broth that I could've drank on its own. Fish and rice cakes - not my favorite dish but the cakes were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The fresh salad with a lemon vinaigrette complemented the pan-fried cake. The kitchen had also shucked too many oysters so we were gifted 12 oysters. My dad was so impressed by how fresh the oysters tasted. Since I'm not the biggest oyster fan, I cannot comment. My favorite main meal was definitely the bison. The biggest surprise for me was the lamb. I'm typically not one to order lamb but when I tried this specific lamb dish, I was surprised by how little gaminess I tasted in the meat itself. The sauce was extremely gamey but the meat was actually so tender and delicious. The dessert I would recommend is definitely the treacle pudding. The spices used in the pudding were really powerful and paired really well with the creme anglaise. Please do yourself a favor and make a reservation to have dinner here. You will not be disappointed!!

    Cute little hidden treasure in inglewood. Great ambience. A house that has been turned into a fantastic restaurant with friendly staff & great expensive food.

    Lunch menu

    Deane House is River Cafe's newest sister restaurant. We decided to come and try it for Big Taste after our first lunch at Q Haute Cuisine. Yes, two lunches. Winning. The inside is absolutely stunning. The setup makes you feel like you're eating outdoors (without being outdoors). The Big Taste menu was $15.00, what a steal. - Moroccan spiced red lentil soup - we were worried that would be heavy but the soup was delightful. The slightest kick. Really refreshing and bright flavour. - 7k Ranch longhorn burger - the bun was perfect. The garlic aioli was tad too sweet and overpowering but the longhorn was meaty and tender. - Dent corn grits - corn grits has a very unique texture. It was creamy and gritty (for better use of the word) but after a few bites, it starts to taste the same and feels like you're eating mush. A whole plate was too much. Lucky, we shared. The pumpkin seeds and roasted vegetables gave a much needed contrast but couldn't save this dish. - Lemon Saskatoon squares - the lemon squares were a perfect two bite dessert. Light and citrusy. Will have to come back to Deane House again for the full experience. Solid first visit.

    There are just some places that once you try them, you constantly are reminded of your experience & keep wanting to go! Dean House is one of those places. Even the experience of walking from the parking to the front door is so unique & calming. The place is buzzing during weekend brunch, which is the time when we visited. Once you take in the interior chic & elegant decor, you know that you're in for a treat. We actually chose to sit at the bar, which was great, coz the bartender was also really friendly. He made us his signature cocktail which wasn't even in the menu. Despite the busyness, everything arrived on time with beautiful presentation. A must try brunch in YYC :) Server/ Host knowledge: 5 Server/host attitude: 5 Fast service: 5 Food Menu: 4.5 Drinks Menu: 5 Food quality: 5 Food Portion: 5 Ambience: 5 Distance to other tables: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Comfort: 5 Waiting time to get seated: 5 Price: 4.5

    Awesome place for a date night but we chose it for a romantic birthday celebration! The service was great and the food was so excellently prepared! You can't go wrong with anything you order. We were here in the winter so there wasn't much of a garden outside but the ingredients were local, fresh, and of the highest quality!! Definitely worth return visits to try their seasonal items. The House was intriguing and had a romantic yet trendy ambiance.

    I rarely give 5 stars but this was a really great dining experience!! We made a reservation for the Big Taste menu and were pleasantly surprised at the level of service and the combination of ingredients in each dish. The server was extremely friendly, took us on a little tour of the haunted library and was extremely attentive. I would definitely return as this was a memorable dining experience and a delicious 5 course meal!

    Lovely place! Definitely one of the more unique speakeasies I've been to and was certainly…read moreimpressed. I'd recommend making a reservation beforehand. My boyfriend and I attended when they were having their burlesque show and it was so much fun! I wasn't sure what to expect but the dancers and the music definitely kept us entertained. The food and the drinks were amazing as well as their service. I'll certainly return!

    This place was great to work. In my industry experience, one of the best places that I've worked…read more It's been awhile where I can say "I genuinely loved working at Betty Lou's. For the owner, I can't say the same He has asked me "so, how can we can we improve at Betty Lou's". No matter what you say, it doesn't really matter. The owner seems to weaponize feedback, which is completely toxic. Sure, you're the owner, absolute respect to you for making this fair in this industry, it's accomplishment. However、please do not ask serving or bartending staff if you don't want genuine feedback. The owner will act against you. We requested one time that Blaine (the owner) does not come on floor if he's had more than two drinks and if he's not dressed in proper uniform. As an owner, sure, to some extent that's fine. But when you threaten a server, who is still new, you will fire them based off how long you're doing menu tours is not acceptable. If you didn't know, menu tours are just running through the drinks and food, which can take a considerable amount of time when you are busy. Now imagine the owner is so disconnected from the reality of the service, is also five drinks deep in the office. The owner will award you back off a few good days, but if you have one review where a customer believes you didn't believe you delivered "a personable experience" you're done. Now, that seems rough, but imagine an owner who values complete bullshit over actual truth. But I mean hey, would I work an environment where the owner can flip a switch, absolutely. It doesn't matter So hey, if you get hired at Betty Lou's, got bless you You can have a good few days, but ultimately, it doesn't matter. There is no HR, no general manger, you know why? They've left, to better and more complete opportunities that Betty Lou's cannot offer. If you're looking for any place to work, please, reconsider Betty Lou's. If you're looking for a place to drink, please reconsider Betty Lou's
