    We went to DOPO to celebrate my wife’s birthday and loved literally everything! The hostess and our server were both wonderful and the unique space set a perfect tone for a night out. We had ordered drinks upstairs at Bar Rosso, as we were early for our reservation. Both cocktails were fabulous and we enjoyed them back downstairs at DOPO alongside the whipped ricotta and green tomatoes to start. Our meal was delicious (thank you to our server for the recommendations on both food and wine!) and I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about the tirimisu to end the evening. We will be back :)

    Ever since i’ve had Korilla, I’ve come back 4x in a span of 3 weeks. Thats how good and worth it it is to try! The staff are so informative, friendly and very accommodating. The food always always taste amazing. I hate to always be spending on eating out, but Korilla always paves its way to make me go.

    Excellent food! Which was the main reason I chose this restaurant. Mussels were so good, caprese salad was outstanding and the pizza was so good! I want to go back choose so many other pizza flavors next time! Wine by the glass has limited options, but mine was great! I did find that the manager was very loud when talking to his staff, and although he was teaching them how to do something, it sounded like a reprimand and I felt bad for the server.

    For the love of French cuisine and French culture located in the Beltline of Calgary, Cassis Bistro is the place. I was blown away by their exceptional food and wine list. Of course we had champagne by the glass and a French 75! The croquettes, the ravioli, the mushroom soup, the beef tartare and mussels frites! What I didn’t think we had room for was the desserts but I’m glad we did. The lemon tart and the creme brûlée was like being back in Lyon, France.
