    Ambiance and service was impeccable, cocktails were creative and delicious, food was very good, but seemed to lack a consistent theme and nothing stood out as an item that I would be dying to return for. I want to reiterate that there was nothing wrong with the food, it just didn't make me say "wow!" Will very likely return, probably for smaller snack and cocktails.

    I love the wednesday room, the customer service is always amazing, the food is great, and the music is lovely. It's not too pricey if you're looking for something fancy, and the drinks are so good! I hope to be back soon, one of my favourite spots in calgary :)

    We were there for the price fixee menu for YYC Food and Drink Expo. As we both love to try new items we chose different items to share. Everything was nice, but the mushroom tartare was amazing and the desserts were both knocked right out of the park. Would absolutely recommend.

    Had a great time. Food was ok. Server was absent a lot but very nice until she was loudly confrontational about the tip left. Unfortunately it was a split bill miscalculation but the whole table felt embarrassed and left her more. Awkward.

    The staff were very friendly, great ambiance, and delicious food! We had Hannah as our server and she made our evening very enjoyable! She was very pleasant to talk to, knowledgeable and helpful with cocktail suggestions. We had a great evening at the Wednesday room, the smoked duck fat and truffle popcorn was our favourite!

    Our evening was unbelievably good. The service was great, the cocktails were delicious and we loved the themes, the tor however stole the show. Which’s doesn’t always happen. We had a few shareables - the tartare was next level. We orders mains - THE DUCK!!! 100% stole the show. Oh my goodness! Literally never ate something so good. The flavours were 👌🏻👌🏻. Definitely our favourite spot in Calgary now. And that’s a bold steal from another YYC fav. Top Notch. Can’t wait to go again. ❤️

    They double book our table after 2, 5 hours they take out us from our table. Without asking us if we want dessert or not. Will never go again! Very disrespectful.

    Food, drinks and service was amazing! Our table was located in the back on the main floor. Very romantic and cool vibes all around. The decor throughout the entire restaurant has a 1970s style that is very cool. Music is good as well. Definitely a cool restaurant for any occasion! Will definitely go back.

    Manager was unpleasant on arrival - we were 8 minutes late and he did not greet us but overheard us checking in and said “I was just calling you. Your table has another reservation at 8:15.” We did not feel welcome. Our server was excellent and told us to select 5-7 dishes for our party of 4 and to expect a slow food experience. However we had just received our drinks and the all the dishes arrived rapidly within a few minutes. We did not get to savour the dishes as expected and felt very rushed to eat prior to the food getting cold. Did not enjoy the experience. Had planned to order a bottle of wine but after all the food arrived at once we realized we would not enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. Food was good, but we won’t be back and would only recommend with instructions to only order 1 or 2 dishes at a time so as not to be rushed out as we felt we were.

    We had very poor service at the Wednesday room, our server was more interested in socializing g with co workers than check on us. The food was good and the cocktails were great! There was an awkward amount of time between our first dishes and second (>45 minutes), the table next to us turned over 2 times and we sat waiting most of the evening.

    This was a fixed price meal for Valentine's day. The server struggled to explain the dishes and was not attentive, despite having a small number of tables. Beef tartare: outstanding, perfect seasoning and acidity. Deviled eggs: very bland, despite having caviar. These could have been any lightly fried, under-seasoned food. At this point we asked for salt at the table. Potato rosti: good texture, but served with a sweet cream which was overpowering Tuna crudo: saved by truffle oil, but otherwise nondescript Prime striploin: a really good piece of meat, perfectly cooked; but again overpowered - this time by crab, which was served on top and all through the sauce. Unfortunate because the steak was really beautiful, but tasted like a crab. Chocolate torte: a really sad brownie, you have likely had better desserts at chain restaurants. Super disappointing finish to the meal.

    Excellent gluten free and vegan options. Outstanding service, our server had good recommendations and gave us the space we like while still being attentive to our needs. The Fried Tofu-Rhubarb sweet and sour sauce was sooo delicious as were all the food options. The desserts and the cocktails were also great. We had one louder “business lunch” at a nearby table, but atmosphere was charming.
