    Excellent service and great, varied menu. Recommend the beets to start. Loved the selection of Canadian wines too. Great spot.

    Service was great for everyone in our party except for one member, who’s a visible minority and arrived separately - got totally ignored by GM (Jamie)/Hostess, who was just a few feet away. Sad to see in 2025. The food was reasonable for the price (3 courses for $45), but not outstanding. We do not plan to return.

    Food was nice. Hostess kept us waiting as she sauntered around - rarely see someone walk that slowly in the hospitality industry, then she pointed to our table instead of taking us there. Waitress kept us waiting, then forgot to bring our drinks until we asked second time; forgot to bring our appetizer until reminded after our mains arrived; one meal had cashews on it after customer advised waitress of allergy to nuts. “Music” level was extremely loud, have to be good lip reader to have conversation.

    Tasty and excellent food. Beautiful decor. Super nice and attentive server and staff team. The three course YYC food expo meal was superb, especially the scallop in the carrot soup. Will definitely recommend, and will be coming back!
