“A memorable experience was had with my latest visit. It was a busy Friday night and the staff took care of our table of 4 for dinner and provided us with good service and good food. The experience was memorable because of the level of care and attention to detail that Floor Manager Tait provided us with! He was invested in our dining experience and he was polite and friendly! Thank you Tait and your team for taking care of us.“

“Normally the service here is really good (especially from Mandy or Veronica) but whenever we get served from one guy (I think his name is Bright) he’s always rushing us and he never seems to be in a good mood. If it was only one time I understand as people can have off days but every time he serves us it’s always subpar.“

Absolutely love STREATS Legacy Kitchen! I dropped by on a Thursday and scored their $4 taco deal—incredible value for such delicious, gourmet tacos. The buffalo chicken and mango shrimp tacos were bursting with flavour. Fast, friendly service and plenty of parking. Definitely a top spot for tacos in Calgary SE!“

“Streats offers a tacos, featuring a flavorful blend of ingredients that burst with freshness and authenticity. The crispy pork belly bao was another standout, perfectly tender and complemented by a tangy, spicy sauce. For a lighter option, the Asian-inspired salad with fresh herbs and a zesty dressing was both refreshing and satisfying.“

“The view was beautiful and the pistou pasta was one of the most delicious pasta dishes we’ve ever had. The space is beautiful and modern with a lovely view from the floor to ceiling windows. There’s also a private dining room for parties.
High chairs and kids menu available. The kids menu is better than most with healthy options as well as the standard kid fare. The kid’s portion was generous too. We ordered the kid’s salmon with broccolini, mash potatoes and veggies. The pricing was good too.
