    Another fantastic experience at charcut. I have taken my parents there twice now, and they've been absolutely blown away both times. They travelled in from northern BC to see a concert with me, so there was no doubt where I was making our reservation. The food and service are always top notch! We had bone marrow escargot, crispy pork belly, scallops, prime rib, New York steak, and the carbonara between us all. Thank you everyone!!!

    Rather underwhelming service and food quality for a 50% full restaurant. Server forgot to deliver a drink twice when clearly not very busy. Prime rib was average at best. Second time here - and last.

    Food was amazing service was amazing. They were hydrovacing a line outside of the restaurant so it was super loud normally a bit more intimate of an atmosphere for sure.

    Interesting vibe. Server was friendly and knowledgeable. The charred octopus was the highlight for me. The beef marrow croquettes were dry. Had 8oz prime rib and 8oz steak both came with potatoes. Both were under seasoned and bland. Underwhelming experience.

    Charcut came to us as a local favorite while visiting in Calgary. It completely lived up to expectations. The ambience is warm and contemporary, and the food is excellent, with a focus on local meats and produce. The wine list is terrific, especially on Wednesdays when it is 50% off. Especially high marks for the service team: fun, friendly, and excellent advisors on the menu.

    We had an outstanding time at Charcot!! The ambiance was great. Our server, Allison, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave us great input, she was very polite and had a great personality! Her recommendations were spot on! The Portuguese chorizo, Caesar salad, and pasta carbonara were terrific. The true highlight was the bone marrow papardel with mushrooms and prime rib was off the hook!! Overall, a fantastic experience!!

    Wonderful service, not only from the server but from the whole front of house team. Very balanced and creative menu. Cocktails were also very well put together and all in all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had 3 starters and 2 mains and had a tough time picking a favourite! We will definitely return to sample more of the menu as we had a hard time choosing. Highly recommend.
