The service was amazing and the drinks were really good. Sadly the food wasn’t great. They limit their dinner menu which sucks as I look before I go to the restaurant to know what I want. They should defs mention you can only get snacks and a unseasoned burger for diner. But if you want good vibes and good drinks than it’s your place to go

Lovely evening for a party of six. We loved the atmosphere because we were able to have a great conversation without shouting over loud music. Our table was set to the back and it was almost like a private room. The server was spectacular, she was very engaged in making our group feel looked after. The drinks were fantastic and we loved watching the presentation. The food was delicious.

Had a little dinner with the husband for his birthday. Just the 2 of us. Wanted something close to his work. This is just a couple blocks. Menu looked good and we could both have a few options no problem. Server was very sweet and kind. She made a special moment with a little birthday cake for him at the end too. The old fashion menu is great and a nice experience. Would definitely go back for a nice dinner and casual atmosphere in the lobby of the Marriott.

They have an extensive whiskey cocktail menu which they are known for. I don't drink whiskey but watching them make the smoked cocktails at the table is always an enjoyable experience. I had the sweet potato gnocchi and it seems a bit undercooked. The gnocchi were a bit dense rather than light and fluffy but the dish was tasty. My friend had the burger which was tasty. I will go again and the ambience is nice for a night out with friends.

Brought clients here for a business lunch. Server wasn’t the most organized and service was inconsistent. When I received my bill, I was significantly overcharged as my server charged me for an item that wasn’t available on the lunch menu. Felt I couldn’t bring it up in front of clients,so I paid the bill as presented. Sent a message via the restaurant’s website, outlining my issue. Had not received a reply. Hence, this negative review.

The server we had was terrible. The coffee came tepid at best so we reordered and it was pretty much the same. We were told that’s how warm it comes out of the machine. Hard to believe unless the cups were ice cold. After that we never saw our server again. She avoided our table. She instead stood by the bar for a fair bit of time and put drinks two at a time (as they were made), onto a tray. There was a larger group apparently and while she could have been seeing to her other tables she instead stayed at the bar for 10-15 min. Finally I got up and went to bar to ask for our bill and the other server said “sorry, she’s really busy with another table”. Maybe she can’t handle more tables? Not impressed with the lack of service.

Always a go to whenever we're staying in Calgary. Drinks are a bit pricey (to me anyway). 9oz white wine is $19.00 and a Manhattan is $22.00. We didn't have food this time around but it's usually very good. Nice atmosphere. Lively. Bartenders are very engaging.
