   Restaurant service host and waiters were great, was a little dissapointed they wouldn’t let a few people at our table order the yyc experience 5 course meal seeing how there was 7 or us anyways, watching tables of 3 and 2 get the experience but either had to be whole table or nothing,, we all had the benchmark prime 14 oz steak was quite a variation in qaulity from steak to steak I wish I would have ordered a wagyu or something different because the steak I got wasn’t great tough the marble wasn’t chewable, under cooked from medium rare served warm cooled off quick. All The sides were great beets were really good and the mashed potatoes on point. But you don’t go to a steakhouse for potatoes lol

   A great meal hosted by Chris and our server Peter. Delicious Tomahawk steak washed down with a fine Okanagan Falls red wine. Lovely ambience and not too noisy even though the restaurant was pretty busy.

   Best steak I've ever had in my life, and our server, Andre (I'm pretty sure that was his name!) was extremely professional and answered all the questions I had, and he made myself and my date feel more valued and welcome in the establishment than anywhere else in Calgary. Would highly reccomend.

   I booked this restaurant for VIPs and always request feedback to determine if it’s worth rebooking. Since I didn’t attend the dinner, I rely on others' experiences. The food was good, and the atmosphere was okay too. However, the customer service experience left a lot to be desired. When we sat down, we were told that we couldn't order our appetizers and main dish at the same time. We didn’t really understand why and asked for clarification, only to be told, basically that’s how the kitchen operates. When our appetizers arrived, we were left holding onto our menus the entire time, waiting for the opportunity to order our main dishes. When we asked again if we could place our order, we were told we had to finish our appetizers first. This was a business dinner, and we weren’t looking to spend three to four hours at the restaurant. When our main dishes finally arrived, they did not come out all at once—there was a frustrating 10-minute delay between the first plate and the last, making the dining experience even more disjointed. The service was also incredibly slow, and our waiter barely checked in on us. We were not asked if we wanted more drinks or anything else throughout the meal. Overall, the service needs serious improvement. A more attentive and flexible approach would have made the experience much better. The manager called me to apologize, assuring me that he was taking notes and that my feedback was not going unnoticed—I appreciate the effort to address the concerns.

   Had a triple date here and can’t say anything bad. Service was attentive, the appetizers were fantastic. Mains, sides, dessert, and drinks were perfect. Highly recommend!
