   Very disappointed. Why ask if it’s a celebration if you are going to ignore it?why not bring more than one glass of water?why have very mild horseradish.?overpriced undervalued Ground pepper would be appreciated on the salad

   Such an underwhelming experience. We were sat in the “renovated” area and the place has a cheap feel to it. I felt as if I was in some old town diner, not exactly the moment I was going for. The food was good but the “salad bar” left a lot to be desired. Basically some grape tomatoes, some cucumber and some lettuce. They should be ashamed to offer just that. Service was good but slow. It took over an hour for our meals to come out. Overall I do not recommend this restaurant and I won’t go back.

   Great venue, service and delicious food. Steaks were amazing and my salmon was perfect. Made all the better by the Birthday ice cream. Thank you again. Will definitely be back soon

   There is not a lot of options compare to other brunch buffet places. They only have prime rib, there’s no chicken dish or seafood dish. For pork they only have bacon. The pancakes are mini, so weird. The dessert selections though are really good. The salad bar was ok.

   The prime rib is outstanding,,,,I had three rounds of it, to be honest, just the prime rib alone already worth the price, They have other Brunch items as well, pan-cake, omelette, salad,,,,but I focus on prime rib and prime rib alone, - I need to set the priority right!!! OH, and their Yorkshire pudding, soooo good.

   Best brunch in Calgary. Bacon was crispy and no fat. Steak soup was outstanding. So many dessert options. We will definitely be back

   Was excited to find out the salad bar was back but was disappointed that it is a lot different than it used to be. At least it still has the steak soup.

   Dear Mike, Thank you very much for your review, the salad bar is indeed different as it is now set in the lounge. I am glad that you enjoyed our Steak Soup. Please come back to try the Portuguese Bean Soup and our daily soup creation. Yours Sincerely, Jean-Michel

   The service was worse than I’ve ever seen it. They brought our meal with baked potatoes and left. I had to search the other side of restaurant to find someone to give us condiments. After ten minutes they came, had no butter etc. no apology, just we’re busy.

    The prime rib was so-so and the salad bar is not the salad bar of old. It was a couple bowls of lettuce, one bowl of cabbage, a few toppings and soups. Not worth the add-on and certainly not worth the stand alone price.
