   My friends and I had such a great time meeting up here for a birthday dinner. We would like to say we LOVED Alex our server. He was next level service and we all couldn't agree more. Alex rivaled the food for sure and we said we'd come back just for Alex. Such a sweet person! Food was amazing as usual. Ravioli is to die for as is the broccoli and endive citrus salad. Will absolutely be back.

   One of my favorite spots! The burger is one of the best in Calgary. Great food and drink options, excellent service and very vibrant atmosphere (it can get a bit loud at times). We will definitely be back!

   Table of 4 today. We waited 20 minutes for drinks, reminded the server and received it, no worries. Then we got an entree 20 minutes before for the rest which we shrugged off, didn’t want to take them up on a new pasta. Once we received the rest, the add on chicken was on the wrong pasta, said it’s alright we’ll just pass it over to the correct one. The server took off a few things to make it up to us and we were cool with that as we were there enjoying a birthday but then when we paid they added a 25% tip without our permission. We were really nice about the whole thing but yeah just not impressed about that but whatever I guess. The food was good.

   The dinner experience is not great when you’re constantly told you need to be done at a certain time and then rushed through the entire evening.

   Hi Gina, thank you for taking the time to share feedback. We're disappointed to hear your visit was not what it should've been and you felt rushed. If a table has a seating window, we try diligently to stay on track with the timeline without compromising service and guest experience., we've shared your feedback with the management team for consideration. We hope for another chance to provide a better dining experience next time.

   The food was great and at some point my friend got tomato sauce on her shirt and the server helped us immediately with a stain remover, it was great overall!

   Food was good as was the service however the fruit flies or little gnats were bothersome especially in February

    Great food but they sat us at the front door high top table where there was a-lot of traffic. There were many better tables available. Request that your not at a high top at the front door.
