I paid $45 dollars for my meal. It didn't fill me. My cats feed better than what you provided. It's disgusting! No good service either.

Enjoyed the YYC Exp prix fixe menu tonight. Our table of 6 tried all items. I ate the tuna tartare, octopus & pork belly, and creme brule. In general it was pretty tasty. The main courses were not as good as appies and desserts.Appies:* steak tartare - everyone seemed to really enjoy it, no complaints* tuna tartare - really enjoyable. Well balanced flavours and textures. I would rate as 8/10Mains:* risotto - everyone who ordered this left a good amount on their plates. General consensus was it was lacking flavour and too large of a portion. 5/10* octopus and pork belly - octopus was well cooked, though small portion. Large hunk of pork belly, that was quite lean and possibly overcooked. Accompaniments on the plate were delightful. 7/10Desserts:* passionfruit tart - delish, no one talked while eating this. 10/10* cardamom creme brule - great cardamom flavour, on the sweet side, but very tasty. Custard was perfect consistency. I ordered a decaf espresso with it as I heard the biscotti was hard. It worked well. 10/10Overall decent price for the meal. Drinks were expensive though. I had 2 drinks and an espresso for nearly the price of the meal. The negroni noir with squid ink was tasty.Not sure the service was good enough for auto gratuity though. We were a table of 6 and server was the only server upstairs(which was full) and also doubling as the bartender. Solid 10% quality tip, but we were forced to pay 18%. Meh, sign of the times I guess.

We came under the YYC|Exp program. We liked the atmosphere, very cozy. I ordered the tuna tartare and it was very tasty, but also spicy, which was not warned about. But I was with my wife and she ate it with gusto. The beef tartar was tasteless, lacking the signature sauce and possibly spices. The main course is risotto and it was generally good. The second was a couple of pieces of octopus and some piece that was really mostly made of fat. But in general it turned out not bad. For dessert there was crème brûlée and tart with berries. The crème brûlée had too much sugar on top and instead of a crispy layer, it was hard to break with a spoon, but it was delicious in the middle. The tart was also good. In general, the impression remained good. Good day!

I went there with a friend for the YYC Experience.Food: just Ok, my steak tartar was bland so I asked for salt and pepper, my pork belly was 80% fat, the dessert was ok. When I complained about the pork belly after cutting off majority of it - the fat - in he middle, I was told "that's how pork belly looks like". with all respect that's a lie as and a very wrong approach.Service was beyond bad - they asked my friend whether we were ready for the main course while I was still eating my starter, then they brought our dessert while we were still eating our mains. Then we were waiting with our main courses empty plates as we were not given spoons for the dessert. The cherry on the top was my bill that was overcharged and it took them 3 attempts to get it right.come on!

We loved the cocktails and the atmosphere. The bartender was great and the server we great, however; the hostess was beyond rude. We almost left when we had to deal with her and she put a cloud on the start of the experience.

Lunch left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively. I had the Tuna Frites, which was refrigerated spoiled fish served in a hot sauce. The experience further soured when I brought it to their attention:- the manager patronizing explained the temperatures of the food (which did not correspond to what I was eating)- the chef aggressively confronted me with a piece of raw fish and crème brûlée (?) to show me what food looked like before it was cooked.At no point did any of the 3 people in the escalation chain confirm the fish was prepared today. The Wednesday Room will serve you old food, and aggressively defend their intent to do so.

This lunch was my first meal of YYCEXP 2024.First course - Thai Curry Cauliflower Soup, quite rich and creamy and enjoyed the peanut / chili crunch for texture - 7.5/10; AAA Hangar Steak Frites with bone marrow butter - just an average steak and fries for a restaurant of this quality; definitely needed the butter - 6.5/10; and a Cardamom Crème Brulee - nothing too exciting, just a very well done creme brulee - 7.5/10.Overall: a good meal, certainly worth the price of admission, but nothing overly memorable.

Very unique and flavourful cocktails. We got a few appetizers to start, Geo our server was friendly and attentive. Very cozy atmosphere we will definitely come back for a full dinner service and try more cocktails.

Food was ok. Fries were great but parm sandwich was a little messy. Pasta was slightly undercooked. Probably won't be back again. Service was great though and ambiance was awesome!! ?

We came to enjoy YYC experience dinner and it was excellent! A big shoutout to the whole front of the house, as after we came in, we had asked for a table downstairs. It was shortly offered to us, although it was a busy night. Every single person was candid and caring. Our servers (as we spent some time in 2 different sections) were attentive, timely, and caring - and truly ensured we had a great experience. Food was very good, and drinks were outstanding. Thank you Wednesday Room crew for a great night. We will be back

We had a great experience at the Wednesday Room! They were very accomdating and the service was top notch. All the food was delicious, but my favorite was the Brussels. We will definitely be dining here again.

We did the YYC exp. The food was just ok. Soup was just a tad too spicy and this is coming from a girl who loves spice. The steak was just that. Steak. It really did not have any great seasoning and they did not ask how you would like it cooked. The fries were ok but overly salty. The plate needed something fresh on it to cute through the fat and heaviness.
