Having lived in Cochrane for a few years and being a seafood lover, I always overlooked Schooners due to its reviews. Growing up in and around Sarnia, Ontario, but spending summers near NYC and the Jersey Shore, my expectations are high.

I have been to Schooner's several times since moving to Cochrane and it is consistently excellent. The hostess was able to accommodate us during a busy dinner service.

Great tasting, fresh halibut with homecut fries. Good service and good prices. Worth the drive out from Calgary!
