    We try to get to Thompson’s patio for Canada Day as it’s our favourite place to sit and watch the festivities go by! We love this patio. It’s quiet and there are lots of umbrellas. The staff are amazing- consistently kind, knowledgeable, attentive and have a way of making us feel truly welcomed. The food is quality with nice portion sizes and great selection. I’m so happy we got to spend a couple of hours there again this year. It’s our tradition!

    Brilliant place to eat before theatre. Yhe pre theatre menu was themed around legally Blonde. Such a good idea. Busy for a Friday night. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only one thing to mention, would have like to have the cocktail before the meal arrived

    Went to Thomson for lunch with a group of girlfriends. This is our go-to spot before Theatre Calgary. Unfortunately, the restaurant was only serving the brunch buffet (not the regular menu, which we would have preferred). The musician in the dining room was extremely loud. Didn’t allow for much conversation over lunch. Overall the buffet was ok.

    Excellent pre-theatre dinner once again! A lovely day to sit on the patio. Service was excellent, very attentive to our timing of our meal for our show.

    The server was not great today as it has been it the past. The server never mentioned egg Benedict, we only knew because we have been here before. So then when we ordered it must have been delayed as it didn’t come till the end when we were all done. He hardly came to check on us or ask for refills of coffee or water. We had to get another server to fill our coffees and water. Food was great though.

    Service, food was outstanding. I wish I had got the name of the gentleman that served us, he was very attentive and great. Red sangria was fabulous! I had the House made gluten free Gnocci and my husband had the Bison Short rib Flatbread. Both were extremely tasty. Definitely recommend
