Very tasty food and attentive servers. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The servers weren’t constantly checking on us and gave us space but at the same time they were very attuned to costumers.

Just ok. Has so much potential! The milk buns were delicious, but unfortunately, they were served with one small, hard square of butter. The Souffle was cooked beautifully on the bland side. The mushrooms were the highlighter of the food we had. Meaty & full of flavour! The Squid was also good. Tasty seasoning. We asked if they had Tabasco sauce for the Oysters and were told no. Later, we could see the Tabasco bottle on the shelf beside the Worcester sauce. The bartender couldn't make a Cosmopolitan cocktail. She said they didn't have cranberry juice.

Edited response to reply:
We did indeed visit your restaurant, we didn't call. We were told 45 minute wait originally, then your host told us 30 as he put in our name and took our number. That was fine as we were in the area to check out the calgary lights exhibits going on around 3 blocks nearby.
This was also several hours prior to closing so I have a hard time believing nothing opened in that time frame. When we walked past and several open tables, it was at least 45 minutes prior to your closing time for the night.
So over an hour and a half without so much as a text to apologize and explain that a table wouldn't be possible. Seems reasonable that your establishment could at least have done this, considering we hung around the area still expecting we would get a call back to come in for a drink and maybe food.
The funniest part of this was that we ended up going to Missy's instead, and who is seated next to us but your host who took down our info. Coming in after work, we heard him exclaim to his friends how your establishment was so swamped, you were taking waitlist and weren't calling.
The absurdity of this situation is the only reason I'm writing this. I found it hilarious, but why you possibly take waitlist with the expectation you wouldn't actually have a table or even call back? Tell us you are too busy. That's fine. Don't take our info knowing we won't have a table so we waste our time waiting around the same area.
Do better. I still want to try your spot though.
Puts you on a waitlist, tells you half an hour. Over an hour later nothing. Walk by 45 minutes before closing to see half empty, yet no messages to come in.

This Modern French restaurant brings a classic approach to the plates they serve. Very central to calgary off of central memorial park, the busy atmosphere makes the experience fun and exciting. Excellent chefs and professional fast paced service with a charm in this establishment make this a destination you can’t miss!

At the time of writing, this place is still a very underrated gem in the Beltine area. The food is all very fresh and prepared in full view of the clientele. For me the standout dishes were the pork chop and the squid which were both unique and cooked perfectly, but everything was really excellent and the care taken to prepare was notable. Was very impressed the first round and have been back several times since. Standard cocktails on the menu were all great, and the bartender was able to make custom requests that were all quite tasty. Go now - this place will blow up!

Lana is amazing <3 all the food was absolutely wonderful, the flavors are well balanced, and generally the menu is quite creative and enjoyable
We went just after the dinner rush and the food was good but the service was unfortunately inattentive. Really enjoyed the oysters and the clam pasta (special that day as they had run out of the pasta on the menu).

One of the best culinary experiences in Calgary! The atmosphere is fantastic, with an interior that perfectly complements the ambiance. The playlist featuring French classics and atmospheric music added a unique touch to our dining experience.
As someone with over 15 years in the hospitality industry, I must highlight Mr. Cullen, our waiter. He exemplifies professionalism and passion for his work, with an impressive knowledge of every dish on the menu. His recommendations were spot-on, and his service truly made our evening memorable. He is really a great professional. We need more like him in Calgary!
We’ll definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant to our friends and any guests visiting Calgary. A big thank you to the entire team for delivering such high-quality service and an excellent dining experience!

We loved the simplicity and style of this restaurant. I took my fiancé here to begin his birthday evening out and we really enjoyed it.
We got the smoked trout paté, le 1608 cheese soufflé, grilled maitake, and the duck pie. We loved all the food, but the duck pie was our favourite. Our only critique was that the cherries that came with the duck pie were better paired with the salad than the duck pie itself. We got very lovely cocktails (Martinique and Yuzu) and chenin white wine. The service was friendly and attentive. It was an excellent experience.
They surprised my fiancé with a little birthday gift of chocolate and a card signed by the staff, which was an especially nice touch.
