Best meal in Calgary...? We think so now. Truly an extraordinary experience right from the start. The service staff makes you feel welcomed and taken care of the entire time you are there. With a smaller menu you may wonder sometimes, but everything lived up to the hype and more. The prawn toast rivals the famous Cheese Toast from Major Tom and I think even takes the top spot. The cabbage skewer was such a unique and light dish that was wonderful on the palette. Both pastas are a must. The flavour profiles on both dishes reminds you of Italy in such a fun and exciting way. All in all, 100/10. Incredible.
