A company that Shames veterans gets a no from me.
Dinner was delicious! Oysters were a bit pricey, and topping selection was not there compared to other oyster bars I have visited but they were delicious. Ordered the California Pi pizza which was very good, however it was served cold which is not stated on the menu and we wished it had been warmer. Sangria was fantastic! And finished with creme brulee for desert which was also delicious and probably our favorite part of the meal. Service was awesome as well.
Went last Sunday with my sisters, we ordered the grilled vegetables, calamari, and the reuben pi. Everything tasted great. Not much to complain about. The place was recommended from my husband who went with his friend a couple months back and said he enjoyed it. I would recommend the calamari, I find it tastes different from what I get from other restaurants.
First, the food is really good and the drinks. However we made a reservation for a Saturday and got there and there was no table available. They were short staffed so it literally took the waiter 30 minutes to take our order, once we placed an order for appetizers and pizza it took another 30 minutes and we received all at once, service definitely needs improvement but food was great!
Restaurant was obviously under staffed on this particular night....which lead to unusually lengthy periods of time between seeing our server. He did his best but it was more than reasonable person would be expected to do, 2 servers for the entire restaurant on a Saturday evening was not adequate. Food was great.
This was my second time at Full Circle! I had a wonderful date night with my boyfriend. We had expected that since it was NYE it would be rather busy but were pleasantly surprised to find that there was only one other table which seemed to know either the owner/manager so both other servers were completely focused on us. Our food was delicious and our drinks were good as well. Definitely will be back soon. My previous visit was on a Monday night which features half price appetizers, and we found some we would definitely like to try.
Different kind of Pizza! Good though! Service was okay- server was good at first and then forgot about us. We sat for about an hour trying to order dessert but finally said forget it just get the bill instead because if we ordered dessert it probably take us another hour to get the bill.
We ordered the mushroom pi with exotic mushrooms, definitely exceeded expectations with mushrooms we had never seen before. Crust was excellent and pi was full of flavour. We also had the mussels and the fries. Both of which were both delicious as well and the crust was great dipped in the mussel broth. Our server was excellent, attentive and friendly but not overbearing. It's awesome when you can interact with the kitchen, they are great at what they do and produce delicious food. The only criticism would be that the bacon could have been rendered down more in the mussels, however given that this is the only criticism it would absolutely not stop us from going back. Thanks for an excellent night!!!
I will never go back. I've been to this restaurant three times. The first time for drinks and oysters. The service was then good. The second time the kitchen didn't prepare 4 of 12 meals. Then scrambled to correct the mistake but it meant most were done their meals when the food for the rest arrived. The third, this trip, was consistently poor service. 20 minutes in and he waiter hadn't taken our drink orders - we had to flag him down. A couple of mistakes with food orders. The waiter took away a bottle of wine that wasn't empty, one of our party had to get up to get it back. All night he service was poor. The table next to us had a similar experience. It got to the point our whole section of the restaurant was talking between tables about the bad service.
We LOVED it here! I was so pleasantly surprised. I went for the first time last night and was just hoping for decent pizza on a Friday night and I got A LOT more than that. Amazing cocktails, fantastic service and the best pizza I've had in the city. They have a lightly breaded calamari that's not on the regular menu, but it's a MUST if it's available - I woke up craving it. You can't find calamari like this anywhere in the city. The Fun Guy Pi is one of their most popular pizzas for good reason. There is something about their pizza dough and the perfectly baked thin crust that I will definitely be going back for. Their cocktails are next level - try the Smoked Old Fashioned even if you don't love bourbon. Great selection of local beer and awesome service. (Thank you Chode!)

Never been here before. When I viewed the menu on Open Table I was intrigued. We ordered an appetizer of brazen octopus and a mushroom soup which were excellent,and the Risotto which also was extremely good. The portions were generous and we ended up taking a doggie bag home. Over all it was a very pleasant experience with one exception, there was a smelly garbage container very close to our table and the smell wafted by us .
This was an excellent Calgary discovery! We will be back to try what we couldn't try on our first visit - More Oysters and different pizzas. Beef & Oyster tartare - exceptional option. Mussels excellent. Any pizza or appetizer is outstanding. Server was informative and excellent in his sense of humour and attention. Menu sufficient - not huge or overwhelming, GF options. Enough different drinks options for everyone. Thank you for an excellent Friday night dining experience
Pizzas are excellent - I really like the crust. The bacon and egg pizza is outstanding! There is also a cauliflower dish (can't remember the name) that is worth the additional calories. The oysters are fresh, the restaurant has a lot of varieties and they are a great starter. But - it's the service that I enjoy the most. I've been here four times and never been disappointed with the service.
The first time we went it was fantastic. This was our second time and they were a bit busier for dollar oysters, however the restaurant was no where near full. We ordered about 40-50 oysters and they brought them out in small batches because they try to be fair to all customers, however we were the second group of people in there, and did not expect to have to wait so long for our oysters. Either they need more staff to be designated to specifically shuck oysters or they need to recognize that people who come in first expect to not be waiting an our for their oysters.
The waitress was really friendly and she made excellent drinks. The strawberry lemonade and milkshakes were quite delicious. Overall, the eggs benny were good and the pi was decent.
