Service was great, and the food was very tasty. I could have just used a little more of it, though. Serving size want huge and I was still hungry afterwards, which is not common for me.

We had a great evening. The menu items didn't immediately jump off the page at us, but once our food arrived, it was great. We were able to easily accommodate a vegetarian and two diners who are diabetic. Love the expanded restaurant: much roomier and brighter. The owner was also our waiter and he stopped to chat frequently, and that helped make our evening. I'd go again and I'd recommend the place. Chris

Food was pretty good, however, it was served on cold plates which made our food cool down quickly. Unfortunately, the atmosphere and music was lacking and didn’t have a Mexican/Latin vibe and the hostess was not very attentive. The best part was our server - he was friendly and enthusiastic!

I've been there many times over the years and hopefully it was just a bad day and not a sign of a declining business. The drinks were a good fifteen minutes and the food took nearly an hour after that to arrive and it was not hot. They got one dish wrong and managed to find the right one in three minutes, so I have no clue what is going on back there. The server was rarely seen. I thought they used to bring chips and salsa while you waited. Nothing this time. Then, as we were waiting to pay, the server told us her life story for ten minutes. It was a bit strange. Price was decent. Food was okay. Servings seemed small.

This is my first time back to Salt & Pepper since the renovations. I feel S&P has lost some of the ambience it used to have. I had made a reservation ahead of time and when we arrived, we were seated at a high table near the bar (and garage style door- that was cold) instead of a lower table. Service was disappointing....server wasn’t overly engaging or attentive. When it came for the bill I had to ask him twice and then another server walking by to finally get my bill. Food....it was tasty however the prices have gone up significantly. $18.95 for 3 narrow enchiladas with rice & refried beans. There was no complimentary chips and salsa. I used to really enjoy supporting local and dining at S&P. There’s so many other great Mexican places in Calgary that it’ll be awhile before I come back to S&P.

Always a great experience whether its a nice relaxing lunch or a lovely delicious dinner. The food & service have never disappointed. Prices are reasonable, plenty of parking and a lovely patio. The new decor is refreshing and inviting. We've been going to this restaurant for several years and it's always been a delight. Enjoyed a quiet NYE dinner & had the pleasure to meet the owner. A lovely & memorable evening!
