Best Restaurants for Business Meals in Beltline

It was a quiet Wednesday night at The Living Room, we sat at a nice table for two by the fire. We ordered Vitelli tonado for an appetizer, it was lovely and just enough to share. I had the lamb shank, it was excellent and very rich with mashed potatoes and gravy. It fell off the bone. My friend had salmon, also cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. We didn’t have dessert. Josh was our waiter and was perfect. We waited for nothing, he was there exactly when we needed him. Aaron was the bartender, and he was delightful!! We had their famous “shafts” a great little pick me up; we also had winter wine, like a sangria only prettier and in a martini glass. Cool place, great ambiance. Can’t wait to go back!

You guys HAVE to try Ten Foot Henry! We had such an amazing dinner here - literally everything we tried was a hit. The tuna crudo was perfect, and don't sleep on their gochujang cauliflower (perfectly cooked, not mushy at all). The steak was just chef's kiss - they clearly use top-quality meat and know exactly how to cook it. But can we talk about that chicken? SO juicy with this incredible sauce that had us all swooning. The pastas were total winners too - both the cacio e pepe spaghetti and the gigli were delish. And okay, this might sound weird, but their CABBAGE dish was mind-blowing! Even my toddler couldn't get enough, which is saying something! Quick heads up for parents - while this isn't really a kid-focused spot (definitely no chicken fingers or coloring books here), we actually had a great time with our little one. Just come prepared with a backup plan for takeout if things get squirmy. The vibe is definitely more adult and it's usually packed, but our kiddo surprised us by loving everything! Make sure you save room for dessert - the cheesecake cream puffs were the perfect sweet ending. Only tiny downside is it gets pretty loud in there, so expect to raise your voice a bit across the table. But honestly? Totally worth it for food this good!

EMILY…. She was SO down to earth, honest and made our experience SO fun! My friend was visiting from Ontario and we were only supposed to be here for 2 hours max l, but have been here for almost 5 hours because of how much fun we were having!! Thank you Emily for recommending amazing food and drinks and I can’t wait to hear you sing in the future!

The food and service were excellent. It’s a great place for a family style , social meal so don’t expect to be in and out quickly. Still one of my favourite Italian restaurants.

Model Milk in Calgary is a fantastic spot for a guy's night out! Our evening kicked off with a round of East Coast oysters, fresh and briny, setting the perfect tone. The pull-apart bread was a comforting hit—soft, buttery, and perfect for sharing. The beef tartare was top-notch, with just the right balance of richness and seasoning, while the shrimp toasties brought a creative twist with their crispy texture and bold flavors. For mains, we went with the beef strip loin and fried chicken. The strip loin was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor, paired with thoughtful sides that complemented every bite. But the fried chicken? Absolute star of the show. Crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection, it’s a dish that keeps you coming back for more. The ambiance at Model Milk strikes a great balance between upscale and relaxed, making it ideal for celebrating or just catching up. Pair that with attentive service, and it’s a must-visit in Calgary. Highly recommend!
