The place is beautiful, great atmosphere and great views of the city. We face west looking out to Canada Olympic Park which is the nicer side in our opinion. The staff were amazing, loved our waitress. The potato donut is incredible here. But the mains were kind of average and the price for the view no longer matches. 1.5 years ago the food was much better.

The setting is beautiful and the food is good; service was spotty (took a long time for our entree to be served).

Ten Foot Henry
4.9 (6545)
CAN$31 to CAN$50
Contemporary Canadian
Calgary
An all day neighbourhood eatery that boasts bold new North American cuisine and vegetable anchored dishes. Ten Foot Henry bridges the gap between what you should be eating, and what you really want to eat.

Lulu Bar
4.7 (2421)
CAN$30 and under
Pacific Rim
Downtown
Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a healthy, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s wood-fired food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour.
Chef Joseph Sokoloff’s fare is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-travelled. Its wine, beer, and creative cocktail offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

Everything we tried as a group was fantastic. Service was great, food was prompt. Can’t wait to try more things in the menu.

I booked a table at Jinbar for a birthday celebration for a friend. This was my first time to Jinbar and I was very impressed. The ambiance was very nice and our waitress gave us outstanding service and provided great recommendations for food and drinks. The chicken and pizza was outstanding. I highly recommend Jinbar.
