A great spot in downtown Calgary. Great appetizers (pork belly is a must) and I had a fantastic koho salmon special. Great recommendations and service from David, will be back when in Calgary.

Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.

Booked this reservation on a whim before a concert .. really happy we did. Vibe and decor are awesome, our server (Jade) was friendly and attentive - even as the lounge filled up during our stay. Smoked Manhattans were fabulous and the food offerings, while a bit limited, were delicious .. great overall experience.

This is the most decadent, satisfying happy hour menu I have ever encountered, anywhere, ever. The meat was all melt in your mouth, the pickles exquisite. Top shelf, all of it. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for service is that while my server, a lovely human who made my 89 year old Dad feel at home, others have prompted to write the facility privately. Still highly recommend.
