    Great service! As with most restaurants these days, a little noisy for easy conversation with family and kids, but can't hold that against the restaurant, it's like that everywhere. The food was very good. The neighbourhood is great for a walk after for a whole experience.

    Bar was too slow. It took forever to get our first drinks. Food was very good. Ambiance lively. Service was enthusiastic but under trained. Waitress did not know if they had basic gins other than bar gin. Will try again as there’s a lot of potential here.

    This restaurant is my go to for all of Calgary and I am thankful it’s only neighbourhood. I have been 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Last night was as amazing as usual with Ben (our server). Very professional, friendly and was on top of everything. It was a very busy night and he handled it all with grace. The food is always excellent!

    We were a group of seven seated at a very small table with very small chairs, and had been sitting for 45 minutes before everyone received their drink order. It was just over an hour before the server took our food order. We had to ask for water refills constantly. The soup was served and we had to ask for a spoon. We had to ask for our bill. The waiter was nowhere to be seen most of the time. Food came quickly, but the service was poor.

    This is my go to restaurant in Calgary. I was there last night with a friend and again tonight for another friend outing. The food is always excellent! The service is always fantastic. I appreciate a restaurant that provides the best and consistent experience each and every time I go.

    Excellent food, great service. It was busy and food was a bit slow to come out but the team was aware of it and apologized before we had to say anything. We were heading to a show so couldn’t stay for dessert but we’ll be back!

    We’ve been here a number of times. It’s close to home. Has a wide choice of menu options. Food has always been good. It’s a firm favorite when we’re looking for better food in UDistrict. However, the food was particularly average this evening. Disappointing.
