    This was a surprise. It is a well established place, but nailing that tomahawk to perfection was a hugely welcoming surprise. Best tomahawk ever, and not only in Calgary. I guess four day marinading and other magic must take place, still we treasured every bite. Broccolini and mushrooms were great as the sides; stake tartar was perfectly balanced; the salmon crudo had a beautifully balanced marinade but was a touch off. The tying part for it was Tasha, she was fantastic, full of energy, leaving us with the image of our new best place to go to! Thank you all.

    Best food experience! We had the bison tartar and the scallops for a starter. Absolutely superb!! Then my husband had the surf and turf which he said was the best steak he’s had. I had the mushroom gnocchi and it was by far one of the best dishes I’ve ever tasted. We will be back.!!
