    This my favourite restaurant however this time service was a little lacking. Our server spilled a drink, which happens of course. No one cleaned it up though. Our server picked up the fruit and then left the rest on the floor. Good thing no one slipped and fell!

    We wanted to get the Stanpede ambiance and we sure got it. Porch is always fun! We have been there many times and it is always a good experience. Every time I have the short rib as it is absolutely delicious. The service was good too and our server was very nice. The loss of a star is due to the fact that we wanted the Parmesan French fries as our appetizer but 2 min later our main courses arrived. It made us feel rushed when we wanted to soak up the atmosphere. Not a big deal but we had said “as an appetizer we will have the Fries…”. Still a place we recommend.

    Kim was amazing and made sure that we were seated, even though we were late for our reservation. We were seated at the bar, and the bar staff were friendly and attentive. The food was great, and the ambience was energetic!

    Didn’t see our server for a while, then when she was around we couldn’t seem to get her attention, we eventually had to flag down someone else. Waited 30 minutes for one skewer and our lobster gnocchi had hair in it. Music was too loud and servers seemed to be dropping dishes and cutlery after clearing any tables.

    Delicious food, delicious drinks, quick service, and lively atmosphere! The perfect place to go before an evening out, or to spend an entire evening at with friends or loved ones. Highly recommended to try this place if you’re visiting or live in Calgary!
