Excellent food & service. The rack of lamb was done to perfection & the Gorgonzola filet is sinful. Still the top steakhouse in Calgary!

The dinner services were fantastic. The tuna tartare is a must. I didn’t really enjoy the cocktail I got because it was unexpectedly sweet, the ginger syrup overpowered the drink. I should have asked for a recommendation. Overall, a happy experience. Thank you.

It's truly an experience. All of the food was cooked/seasoned to perfection. Our waiter was unpretentious and happy to explain anything we didn't understand on the menu. He was attentive and kind but not intrusive. Each course brought us more visual delights that were a sight to behold, the flavours were phenomenal. The drink menu is extensive and creative. It was foggy when we went but I am sure on a clear night the views would be spectacular. Stop by this hidden gem, immediately!
