I got the power bowl while others got the steak, sandwich and buffalo chicken wrap. The kids got two cheese pizzas. My only knock was the server! She took forever to refill our drinks and did an ok job overall. The outdoor seating with games was fun!”

“Great Korean BBQ. We enjoyed the Katsu Bowl with a side of Mandu, Bibimbop with a side of Takoyaki (not my fav, but my son loved them), BBQ Bowl, and Dosirock.
Katsu is the family's favorite, but all are tasty. I jangsa'd (upsized) my bibimbop, and it was worth it.
Bathroom was clean.
Highly recommend if you are looking for good Korean BBQ.”

“My daughter and I dined at 530pm yesterday, May 24th 2025. We chose to sit in the dining room. We were lead to a table by the fireplace under a great chandelier. The ambiance of Joey Crowfoot is lively and warm. Comfortable seating, perfectly sized tables, and excellent lighting. Our server, whose name I can't recall - tall dark and handsome and a theater major - was attentive and friendly. The food we had was absolutely incredible. We chose goyza dumplings to start which were so flavourful and perfectly cooked. My daughter ordered the hamburger and fries and even with her braces bothering her, she demolished. My blackened chicken with warm potato salad was hands down the BEST meal I've had in a restaurant in a long, long time. I will be dreaming of that salad until I can get back there again !!”

“Always a joy to dine at a culinary school, and Highwood did no disappoint! We were seated (after a bit of a challenge locating it on the campus; more signage would be good!) in a quiet corner of the very attractive and welcoming dining room. The cocktails and wine choices were excellent; our entrees of rack of lamb and duck done 2 ways were cooked perfectly. The focaccia could have had much less oil; the center was still a teeny bit doughy. Dessert was light and tasty. Overall a delightful experience for all 3 of us, with very charming service!”

“Today I had the pleasure of trying the Burger and fixins , what caught me was the preparation by the cook, she took such great care stacking each item, centered on the bun, ensuring no messy spill over moving her hands gently over the top bun to ensure complete symmetry, spinning the burger 360 degrees for final inspection and handing it to me with 2 hands. She was very proud of her creation and very kind. I felt special 😀”

While they’re known for their expertly roasted coffee, I personally love their teas paired with a sweet treat. The butter tarts, in particular, are irresistible and keep me coming back for more. Whether you’re there for the drinks, the snacks, or the atmosphere, Congress Coffee is a gem!”

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!”

She took the time to answer all my questions (very quickly) and on the day of, she guided us through the process and made us feel so comfortable with everything. The food was amazing, the fresh vegetables and the meat and all the appetizers were to die for!

Thank you so much to Rey and the entire staff for making my day so special! 🤍”

“Aug 21st. I had booked a small party of 5 on the lounge side to celebrate my friend upcoming wedding. One of the ladies had brought her baby. Totally not remembering the lounge is only for guest aging 18 and up. The receptionist informed us due to us having a baby we could not eat on the lounge side, but we could eat in the dining area. However the dining area was fully book!
She didn't want us to leave, and ran to get her manager! The manager flew in and saved the day for us! He made space for us and made sure we had a beautiful, and private dinner! The server we had was friendly and overall the best!
For something that I screwed up during booking, they swooped in and fixed the mess. Never pointing blame or giving up on us, and ensuring the bride had a lovely time! One of the BEST customer services I have ever encountered! The food was divine! I fully recommend this place!
Thank you for letting us out of towners (Toronto) feel welcomed and at home!”

“In line with the restaurant, I’ve structured to 8 points of my dining experience. 1. RESERVATIONS & GETTING THERE If you’re very lucky you can get a reservation. Watch out for their announcement/s at Instagram and book at TOCK. I got mine in November 2021 for February 2022 dinner. Chef Darren shared that in the latest offering, 36,000 people went in and it sold out in 30 seconds. You will receive an email for dining reservations and included are instructions how to get to Eight. Located at ALT hotel at East Village in Calgary, Alberta. Complimentary underground parking. Be early, reception will send you at NUPO bar before you’ll be invited over to the secret door leading to your seat. 2. FOOD There are no words to describe the gastronomical experience this 15-course dinner (with snacks) offered. All the superlatives can be used. Fall in love with the plethora of Canadian ingredients married into the greatness Chef Darren’s mind. Well intentioned sourcing of fresh local, farm owned ingredients in your plate. Each made great with time whether it’s the reclaimed dairy cow’s beef, cured bacon goodness — it’s clear! (yum) and rich chicken broth. From east to west ingredients, indulge in what each coast brings through texture, colour and scents. It’s a win after win, one plate, one bowl at a time. 3. PAIRINGS Truly recommended to take it! As serendipity has it, it was Season 8 and Eight’s 2nd anniversary. The last pairing of Espresso, Licor 43 was replaced by a Ruinart Blanc de Blanc to celebrate with Chef Darren and his staff. Lucky! 4. AMBIENCE Low light, one bulb overhead per person highlights the food in front of you. Across is a marbled island where the action happens. It’s a cozy distance to chat with other guests to your side and still well-spaced to enjoy your spot (and your date!) Leather bar seats, metal backing art at the corner adds to the mystery feel of the eluded box. 5. STORY TELLING This is a vital part of the dining experience. Chef Darren walks through the history of ingredients and how he came up with the course. Very interesting, heartwarming and funny stories to hear. 6. SYMPHONY The smooth flow of chef, assistants and server movements : cooking, plating, serving timing, wine glass replacement and bread offering is a flawless operations at an optimum (small) space. It is a feat. 7. CERAMICS The handmade, locally made plate counts. The 24 Karat lined cup and the stacked bowl of snacks counts. It’s beautiful. Hello Quinspired Ceramics ✨ 8. INVESTMENT Worth every Canadian dollar. $245pp dinner + $145pp pairing (optional) + 20% gratuity + taxes Ending note: There is a no photo policy and it suits your dinner experience as you’re fully immersed into the story telling and presentation. You are given a small folder, tucked in is the menu + pairing details. Inside the folder is poignant essay of Chef Darren’s thoughts how the Canadian Reflection Menu came about. Take it as poetry! A map of Canada is inserted and handwritten in each province were ingredients used that night. Overall, this was a great experience. Calgary is lucky to have Eight. Well done! Bravo Chef Darren! Now, best of luck to booking a seat!”

“It was a most wonderful experience. I didn’t get a chance to speak to Darren, the chef. Every item was thoughtfully made presented and chosen. I have a shellfish allergy and Darren took great care. But food is incredible, uniquely arranged, and melt in your mouth, an artistry of flavour and masterful presentation. Each bite took me to different places and memories. It is an experience you don’t want to miss. Comparing with Japan and other places in the world that we have to eaten, Nupo ranks in the top 3. Moreover, you have sweet, gentle, yet fun staff who took so much care. Thank you Darren and your amazing kitchen and front staff for a most memorable experience! I will be back many times more!”

“We had been looking to replace our ‘go-to’ East Indian option, after our longstanding restaurant sold their business (menu change sadly no longer lived up to expectation.) After venturing to try a few new restaurants, we continued to be met with disappointment. It was then recommended by my physio therapist to try Masala Art. And glad we made the trek on a cold winter Sunday night to support small family owned business. We were met with a gracious welcome. Atmosphere was simple, yet cozy. The service was top notch and very attentive. The samosas were fresh and flavourful, sauces were fresh and the Naan was absolutely classic and hot sizzling of the chef’s station. The veg korma vegetables tasted fresh and leftovers the next day, the flavours melded together even better! The staff and chef were inquisitive to the flavour satisfaction amidst our dining, we felt they picked a suitable spice level for our tolerance and were intuitively precise. I hope to see this business thrive as it is well deserved. I recommend even quantity items of samosa as I have a hard time arm wrestling over the 3rd Samosa, lol.”

“Late-night cravings? Freshii Mahogany in South Calgary is your go-to spot! Open until midnight (except Sundays), it’s perfect for those seeking delicious, healthy eats in a stunning ambiance. I highly recommend the Chipotle Cheddar Bowl, packed with rice, black beans, carrots, tomatoes, and a creamy chipotle sauce—it’s a flavor bomb! The СОВВ Wrap is another must-try, featuring a fresh mix of romaine, field greens, tomatoes, egg, bacon, and Greek yogurt ranch. Don’t forget to grab a FRESHII Green or Cocoa Peanut Butter Smoothie—both are delicious and perfect for the health-conscious. With most items under $10-$12, it’s an affordable option for a quick meal on the go. Freshii Mahogany is definitely a gem in Calgary!”

The food is delectable, tasty, and nicely presented with just the right balance of spices and heat. We just couldn't stop nibbling on the garlic naan bread and tamarind sauce. We were impressed with the cleanliness, the decor, and the pleasant atmosphere. It has become our favourite Indian Food restaurant in the City.”

“We eat out a fair bit, but this was the best night out I have had in years! Have not been here before, but definitely coming back often. Came here with my wife and one of our friends later on Saturday afternoon for happy hour and got seated at the bar, overlooking the kitchen. The happy hour drinks were very good, and the food was fantastic. We ended up staying for dinner, and every dish was beautifully prepared, tasty and original - not just a variation on something you would get at a restaurant down the street. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Our waiter provided excellent service. He always knew the right time to check up on us and see if we needed more drinks or food. Nice guy too. I originally was a little disappointed to get seated at the bar instead of a table - now I would not want to sit anywhere else. Loved to watch the skills and teamwork of the kitchen staff, who were very friendly and chatted with us when they had time. Loved everything about this place.”

“I had dinner tonight at The Himalayan (17 Ave SW). It was my first time here, and only my second Nepalese restaurant I’ve been to. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and very kind. The restaurant is clean, and intimate. Parking isn’t ideal, but that’s not their fault! I started with the pork momos as an appetizer. They were excellent, but quite expensive ($16 for six regular-sized dumplings). The flavour was great, and they tasted very fresh. For my main, I had Chicken Dal Bhatt, which came with three small dishes of meat and curry and lentils, along with rice, naan and some side dishes. Each of the individual dishes had incredible flavour. They were also hot and fresh, as were the momos. The meal was served on a metal platter, and the small bowls were also metal. It was beautifully presented. As soon as I finished my main meal, the waiter offered me a chai and mango pudding (included in the meal). The chai was aromatic and spicy and earthy and amazing! The mango pudding was icy cold (also in a metal dish), and hit the spot at the end of the meal. For my appetizer and main meal, I opted for mild / zero spice. Everything was so flavourful I don’t regret this decision. However next time, I’ll live a little and try the medium heat. Overall, this was a 10/10 for me and I’m really glad I had the chance to try out this restaurant!!”

“I recently had lunch in Ishtar Restaurant after. The food was delicious and responding to my needs, personally served by the owner, our friend Bashar and his staff. I especially liked the welcoming ambiance, and the artistic decorative touch. The Restaurant is specifically attracting a social gathering between young friends, families, from different cultures, communicating spontaneously as they were at home. Therefore, combining good food with such social life is, according to me, one of the best assets of Ishtar. Thanks Bashar.”

“My wife and I had our wedding reception at The Lake House and it truly was beautiful! The scenery and the elegance of the restaurant itself are incomparable for a wedding venue. From there we go to the food. The food was absolutely delicious and all of of our guests praised the restaurant for the amazing options they were presented along with how absolutely tasty every single bite was. From the appetizers, to the main course, to the dessert and the late night snack, every single bite was spectacular. As we continue on the accommodating and excellence of service go beyond compare. Every step of the way the team at The Lake House catered to what our wants were and offered great advice and options to make sure we landed on the right decision. When spending so much money on everything to do with a wedding it can add up and you want to make sure the value is there and that you’re not over spending on one thing vs. another. They made sure that as costs added up for us elsewhere we really saw the value while still getting an elite, exceptional, beyond compare venue that just took care of nearly everything. My wife and I live busy lives and had a baby shortly after our wedding and have repeatedly told each other since the wedding we truly owe it to the restaurant to make sure we sit down, take time and praise how truly happy we were with our experience in a review so that everyone knows and we can hopefully give them some extra business and help others have as spectacular an experience as us. Since our time there many of our guests have shared how much they loved the experience there and said that they could not think of a better place to have a wedding venue. We do live out of town so we do t get to go back as often as we’d like but our anniversary is just around the corner and we’re very excited to go back to The Lake House to enjoy this day as well. Thank you everyone at The Lake House for sharing our moment with us and making it unforgettable! We truly appreciate you!”

“My second time in Calgary was nothing short of perfection. Last year I dined here for my birthday and when the thought of what to do rolled around this year, flying to Calgary seemed both extra, and hilarious. But it stuck. Saltlik, you outdid yourself. I’ve been thinking of the Beeswax Old Fashioned for 366 days and it just hits the spot. Victoria B.C. hasn’t latched onto it yet but it’ll come. Dinner was exceptional but the real star or the show was Trevor. Exceptional service is becoming an almost lost art and this guy has it. His energetic read on the table and tailored charisma is what 90s career servers were made of. The kind of server who questions himself “how do I elevate this experience?!” And then executes. His tag team with Chris to make this birthday nothing short of Calgary perfection is exactly why we ended up here. Thank you for making us feel special, our dinner incredible and leaving us with yet another Saltlik memory for the books. Thanks over many thanks. We will see you again!”

Awesome service and this felt like an intimate, and authentic Omikase joint. Pricing for kaiseki seems reasonable at $90 pp with 9 dishes and a very nice miso soup. The soy sauce in brewed in house and I'll need to come back to actually try it on something, as the set menu was seasoned, but the spoonful i had was delicious. Nice place!”

“We ordered as a company for our monthly appreciation lunch. The food was great. Everything I ordered was included. They did mention that their food is slightly spicier but did a pretty good job at making it milder. The only item that was on the spicier side were the beef seekh kababs (they did mention this to me prior, so we knew to expect this). The butter chicken was really great. They were generous with the food portions - we had plenty leftover. Overall, the staff really enjoyed the food. Service was exceptional!”

“Fuji Ramen and Sushi is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Calgary! 🍜🍣 The ramen here is the best I’ve had in Canada, and they offer a fantastic vegetarian option that never disappoints. The variety on their menu is impressive, so there’s something for everyone. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the owner goes above and beyond, personally stopping by to chat and ensure everything is perfect. 😊
While I haven’t tried the sushi myself, my wife and friends rave about it—especially the ones topped with spicy sauces. 🌶️🔥 They couldn’t get enough! Whether you’re a ramen lover or a sushi fan, this place has you covered. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great food and amazing service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Just when you think they can't raise their game any higher Hy's manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hy's team, the food was next level even by Hy's standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hy's over the last decade, and I don't think I'm overstating it to say it was a "Once in a Lifetime" experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hy's team!”

“We stopped by the Wednesday Room for a light meal recently and loved the experience completely. We were met by the host who immediately escorted us to the table we requested. As he seated us, the host outlined the menu organization so we could navigate it easier. After we were seated, Gabby our waitress arrived to go over the menu and drinks options with us. It made ordering easy and efficient. Our food and drinks order arrived on a very timely basis. The food was wonderfully presented. Both of our dishes were very tasty with subtle, unique flavors made in-house (oysters and beef carpaccio were our choices). When it was time to check out, Gabby made the process very efficient and with friendly banter leaving us smiling for the rest of the evening. All the staff we were involved with seemed to be happy and very personable - a drastic change from the plastic, mechanical service we usually experience. Thank you to everyone for a great experience at "The Wednesday Room"!”

“We had an incredibly overworked (they were short staffed this night) waiter who was very pleasant and friendly, and professional. The food was delicious. We were first timers to Smugglers and really enjoyed our food. My only ‘complaint' would be is that they need to make the outside of their door more welcoming. As we had never been to Smugglers, we weren't sure where the main door was.”

We ordered the Sarah wine (highly recommend!) and some perfectly crisp calamari to start—both were divine. But honestly, it was Fadi’s charisma and genuine hospitality that stole the show. He’s the kind of person who elevates the entire dining experience just by being himself.
If you're lucky enough to be seated in his section—you’re in for a treat. Cheers to an unforgettable evening, thanks to Fadi!”

“Quirky, dark, and intimate spot for creative cocktails and small plates. They have an extensive cocktail menu which was divided by flavor profile. Our waitress was very helpful in giving recommendations. I enjoyed the Haymaker and Naked & Famous. Their drinks are quite strong (2-3 oz), so drink with care! Their food menu is entirely vegan. I had the vegan lobster roll, which imitated the flavor and texture of lobster quite well. The space is VERY compact, with only bar seating and a few high tops, so I highly recommend making a reservation. There is plenty of free street parking in the evenings, and it is very conveniently located between downtown and Inglewood.”
