Facilities and capacity

The Nash’s dining room features a clean, open space, plenty of windows and natural light, white walls, wood tables, and hardwood floors. Its modern look and layout has a view of an open kitchen, which allows you to see the chefs at work. The bar, with darker walls and dimmer lighting options, complements the dining room’s airy design.

All items on the menu, from stocks to breads, are made in-house with high quality ingredients, and the staff partners with local growers and producers. The Nash’s dinner menu selection includes starters (like salads, soups, duck leg, and tartare of beef), entrees (from fish to pork belly to steak), and side dishes (with vegetables, risotto, and hand cut frites among the mix). Dessert options may consist of choices such as dark chocolate mousse, espresso pot de creme, smoked chocolate ganache with white tea sorbet, and more.

Oh So Smooth

We really recommend The Nash Restaurant for your full wedding event.

On a Saturday in August 2024 we had our daughter's wedding at The Nash.
The venue was ideal for our needs. Our guest list was about 80 people. We had the wedding ceremony, the cocktail reception, the dinner and speeches, and the celebratory dances and party at the single location. Our event started with the wedding at 4:30 and then bingo, it it was 1:00 am!

The Catering and Events Manager Dominique is awesome. She worked closely with the bride over a period of about 6 weeks on all of the details. And several "special requests" were included.

On wedding day everything was "oh so smooth". Dominique runs the event.
Her command of what it takes to change the inside of The Nash from a wedding site to a reception, then to a dining facility and finally to a dance floor while also insuring the meal is served hot and in a timely basis is a real advantage. The use of the single facility means guests can interact with each other for the entire event without having to drive to different places.

Our dinner meal was served family style to each table. There were options for each course which enabled guests to choose and enjoy what they wanted to eat. And late in the evening, as the dancing ended, there was mac n' cheese and sliders for the ride home.

We are ever so pleased with the way the event unfolded. It certainly was memorable. Chef Noble and Dominique really care about their customer and deliver a high-quality experience.

Spring 2025 Wedding

The Nash could not have been a more perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we had our first initial meeting, Dominique made us feel heard- prioritizing our guest's experience and allowing us to be present the entire night. It is so evident that the staff are incredible organized, talented, kind and welcoming. The environment is inviting and warm and we were incredibly proud to welcome our closest people to this space. The menu was carefully curated and allowed for our own personal touches, allergies were thoughtfully accounted for and the meal came quickly (which is HUGE!). There was so much transparency with the overall price and Dominique checked in throughout the night to ensure there would be a clear 'cap' where we were comfortable with and had agreed upon. The Nash is such a reflection of Calgary's best, and we are so happy it has been part of our story.

Amazing wedding venue!

Dominque and the team at the Nash made our wedding an unforgettable evening! They were so accommodating and the service was incredible. Guests said goodbyes with the majority of them indicating it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding!

We absolutely loved the venue and the day could not have been smoother thanks to the team at the Nash. Thank you so much!!

Amazing Venue, Food, and Staff!

Dominique and the entire team at the Nash were incredible to work with. All of our wedding guests commented on how smooth the day went, how wonderful the servers and bartenders were, and of course how fantastic the food and cocktails were. The venue was also perfectly suited to accommodate our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dance without compromise.

We also want to make a special shout out to Dominque who has so much experience that she literally has an answer for every question you might have. She added so much value and made us feel super comfortable that everything was going to be taken care of.

August wedding at the Nash restaurant and bar

We had an amazing experience having our wedding at the Nash. We elected to do our ceremony out in the mountains and had a big dinner party and reception afterwards at the Nash. From the get go, Dominique and her team were amazing to work with. Whatever special requests we had for menu items, 3rd party vendor requirements, or seating plan/extra guests were easily accomodated. Dominique is very good at her job and made everything very easy to do on our end. While I was stressed about my wedding day, none of it was related to the events at the Nash because I knew Dominique had literally everything covered down to the smallest details, including that we forgot to make a wedding playlist--and she made one for us last minute! Dominique and her team took care of setting up decorations for us so we just had to show up to the party on the day of. Can't say enough good things about how easy the experience was and how special they made it by catering to all of our requests. Service was phenomenal, as always. Food was the best. The venue itself is very elegant and didn't even need much for decorations. We are so happy we went with the Nash for our wedding celebrations and would do it again for an anniversary party in a heart beat. Great value for the price in terms of the quality of food, service and planning that you get.

One Amazing Day!

The Nash and OffCut Bar hosted our small-ish cocktail reception Ceremony and Wedding at the end of July and to say that it was the easiest, most beautiful and fun day is a completely gross understatement! From the initial meeting with Dominique we knew that this was the right venue for our wedding! The restaurant is not only gorgeous, and the food outstanding but working with Dominque was like dream! She was spot on with all her suggestions (food, drinks, layout, flow), responded to our many questions promptly and was just the ultimate master at her job! Communication was stellar and she is just an absolute pleasure to be around! On the day of the wedding, I didn’t have a single worry when it came to the venue, food or general flow of the day because I knew they had it all handled! The Service was above and beyond and our family and friends are still talking about how incredible everything and everyone was! I cannot recommend getting married at the Nash enough and if I had to do it all again, we would be choosing this location over and over again!

Absolutely amazing!

In one word-wow! The Nash truly went above and beyond to create the most magical wedding day we could have ever asked for. Dominique was extremely easy to work with, very flexible and prompt with replies to any questions we had a long the way. The planning stages were fun and enjoyable, and we knew we would be in great hands. The day itself was perfect in every way, and no detail was missed. From the venue itself, the staff, the food, the drinks, the decor, the vibe were absolutely impeccable. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to! Dominque handled everything to make sure our wedding day was easy and stress free. Not having to set up the day before and not having to clean up at the end of the night was worth every single penny. If you’re looking for a beautiful venue and stress free day then The Nash is definitely what you’re looking for!

Everything about our experience was amazing and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Our experience with Dominique and the Nash was amazing. The planning, service, food, drinks and value were all top notch. I highly recommend using the Nash for a wedding or another type of celebration/event. They were willing to work with us 100% and made us feel like our event was extra special. The Nash is one of the best restaurants in Calgary in terms of food, drinks and quality of service.
