    Concorde has set the bench mark for exceptional premium casual dining in Calgary, so expectations are high when dining at one of their properties. Barbarella, as expected, hit it out of the park once again! Brad B provided exceptional, knowledge and personable service., drinks were fantastic - from the Crimson Lion cocktail to the well curated beer and wine list and every dish was delicious! The ravioli is one of my favourites dishes in the city and we tried a couple of their Valentine’s features, which were also fabulous! We also really enjoyed the table we were sat at, tucked away in a corner of the main floor.

    Here’s a polished review you can use for KAMA in Calgary: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing dining experience at KAMA! The Hugo Spritz was a standout cocktail—light, refreshing, and the perfect way to start the evening. The wine selection recommended to us was absolutely fantastic and paired beautifully with our meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, offering thoughtful suggestions that made for a wonderful shared dining experience. The dishes were flavorful, well-presented, and perfect for enjoying with good company. Beyond the food and drinks, the atmosphere at KAMA is just stunning. The restaurant has a warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to stay and savor every moment. We love that it is locally owned. We will definitely be back with friends to enjoy this gem again! Highly recommend.

    I had the pleasure of enjoying a Valentine’s dinner at Major Tom, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect mood for the evening. The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right without being intrusive. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience, and their genuine hospitality made the night even more special. As for the food, every dish was a delight! From the beautifully presented appetizers Oysters etc….to the perfectly cooked main courses and the decadent dessert, each bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The chef truly outdid themselves, and we could taste the quality in every dish. Because of the exceptional service and fantastic dining experience, we were more than happy to leave a generous tip. It was well deserved, and we will definitely be returning for another memorable evening. Highly recommend Major Tom for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service!
