    Amazing food! My family and I went for dinner as a last-minute thing and we were so pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Definitely going again and I highly recommend it.

    This was our second time here, and it was not the same as the first time during the YYC Food experience. Not sure if the kitchen staff has changed or it was just an off night for them. My daughter's ordered the steak frites and the steak was cold and undercooked and not medium rare, and the frites were overcooked and hard like croutons. My wife's salmon was overly salted. And my cod dish, the cod temperature was lukewarm as if the fish was sitting around waiting for the sides. The service was slow even though there werent too many tables this evening. Disappointing considering we truly enjoyed our first visit here.

    Great food, nice atmosphere, and our waitress was excellent - pleasant, funny, and appropriately attentive without being intrusive. Lovely evening.

    This is the best place for brunch. The food is great, the service is excellent and I just want to keep going back. Do try the ginger beets, all the sourdough anything and the drinks, any of them!

    The award-winning vegetarian foie gras was truly spectacular! We also loved the scallops and ribeye steak!

    The Croissant Breakfast Sandwich was great! $50 for two breakfasts, an apple juice and a drip coffee. Seems rich but you can’t go out for less now. Food and service were great.
