K	Kim Collins on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Service was terrific, they hire great people, however they need to review how they combine ingredients. Horseradish aioli on carpaccio overtakes all the other ingredients, keep it simple and just use a regular garlic aioli, it would be been delicious. Mac and cheese was dry with little flavour and the dip needed some kind of kick to it. A friend had the prime rib and loved it, huge portion but said it was cooked perfectly and the tempura prawns were heaven and the accompanying sauce was perfect. Oh and my friends also had some cocktails which they loved.
J	Jesse Reeves on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went on St.Patty’s day. You’d think it would affect the service being so busy but our server was amazing, and the food and drinks were incredible. But I have to say, the two hostesses working the front were some of the worst I’ve ever encountered. They looked as if they’d rather be anywhere but there. They didn’t really acknowledge me, make eye contact or even smile. They turned their backs on me while they whispered to each other about the seating chart. They seemed very confused and it honestly gave a horrible start to my experience (thankfully the rest of the evening was amazing). The rest of my party who joined after me had the same experience with the hostesses. Very unfortunate.
C	Cole Carter on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Staple in my community. 5 stars is based on the consistent exceptional service. The staff reflects good management as they genuinely appreciate your business. Good specials, good food. Atmosphere and decor is esthetic and comfortable. Music is always good... lounge, house, or hip hop. Mixed crowd, unpretentious, and a good place to socialize. Very few Bars in Calgary live up to such a high standard. Thank you!
M	Michael Spyker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place certainly attracts an interesting group of people, especially on Wednesday night. It's usually quite loud and gets humming in the evening hours, which isn't a bad thing. The food here is okay, though the servers at times can be quite rude. Definitely more of an older crowd, and don't expect to sit down in the evenings. Overall certainly a buzzing neighborhood spot with a good menu, though the service could be improved.
C	Crystal on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The sofa table was comfy. Even though it was so busy with some private event going on, the server was still checking on us well and nice. But the drinks and food little bit pricey compared to other pubs. Also pizza taste was okay.
G	Glen Murphy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Casual dining atmosphere with good food and good service. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was busy. Despite the place being almost full our drinks and food came within about 15 minutes. Thursday was pasta night and all the pasta dishes were only $16 each. When the restaurant is full it is fairly loud. The music is good and seems to be geared to the 30-40 year old crowd.
M	Mike Wrobel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Thanks Sam for the great service for our group lunch! The food and drink was timely and delicious and your recommendation of the burger was awesome! The service was excellent!! Also, thanks for taking the picture of the group!
D	Darwin Borbon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The staff are excellent! Nicole our server is very professional and pleasant as well as the hostess and other servers. The food was phenomenal especially the chef trio. My buddy and I who both works and practice customer relations had an interesting encounter with the service manager Blaire. We brought to his attention that the plate which our appetizers was served on had some smudge on them that also partly comes off when you wipe it down. Initially, I thought they were part of the design of the plates, though comparing it to the other plate which is pearly white you can clearly see the difference. The manager said that “the plate is worn out” and that he have nothing to say and that if it’s not satisfactory just don’t eat it and he will take it off our bill. The approach was a bit unpleasant and stand offish which I rarely encounter on hospitality and, food & beverage industry. It shouldn’t be a big deal, we just want to confirm if the smudge is dirt and if it’s safe to eat. Later he came back and said he ordered new plates and remove all the “worn out” plates. The resolution would have been nice the first time, maybe a little refresher on customer relations. However, we understand that he might just be having a bad day. However, I thought I will bring it up for constructive feedback. As a first timer in this nice restaurant, the encounter left me with a bit of a bad experience.
