    We were seated in the very back corner of the restaurant right by the patio which was closed off for the winter with some sort clear vinyl soft wall. It was very difficult to regulate the temperature at our table. When the heater was turned on it got far too hot and no way to adjust the output, it was either on or off. Aside from that, our server was wonderful and the food delicious. We will definitely go back but request to be seated in a different area next time.

    Excellent! Almost everything on the menu is - or can be made - gluten-free making Borough an outstanding choice for those with celiac disease. The GF calamari is fantastic and some of the best we’ve had (gluten free or otherwise). Fabulous cocktails and quality food.

    Great service! As with most restaurants these days, a little noisy for easy conversation with family and kids, but can't hold that against the restaurant, it's like that everywhere. The food was very good. The neighbourhood is great for a walk after for a whole experience.

    Bar was too slow. It took forever to get our first drinks. Food was very good. Ambiance lively. Service was enthusiastic but under trained. Waitress did not know if they had basic gins other than bar gin. Will try again as there’s a lot of potential here.

    This restaurant is my go to for all of Calgary and I am thankful it’s only neighbourhood. I have been 4 times in the last 2 weeks. Last night was as amazing as usual with Ben (our server). Very professional, friendly and was on top of everything. It was a very busy night and he handled it all with grace. The food is always excellent!
