Always wonderful service. I love the small portions for the brunch buffet, there's less waste. Food is good as well. Good variety, too.

We just had brunch with my lady friends today. Food was marvelous - the taste, the presentation, the quality - all great. The ambiance was so lovely we took such a lot of photos, and note they were helpful on taking photos for our group. Not to forgot, the service was impeccable. We had our exchange gift with my friends, to our surprise they prepared small gift for all of us! You guys were awesome! Allison was so nice and the male server who gave us the small gifts, I forgot his name, thin in body structure and wearing eye glasses, you were 100% brilliant! Thank you guys! You made our pre-christmas party truly unforgettable. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️

Was expecting more of a Christmas ambiance based on advertising but otherwise it was good!

Great spot with a really nice relaxed ambiance. Breakfast is good and portions are surprisingly large. Perfect spot for an easy start to your morning.

We had a reservation for brunch and checked the restaurant’s website beforehand, which indicated brunch was served until 2 pm. We arrived at 1 pm and asked for the brunch menu. Before the first staff member could finish explaining, another employee—who seemed to be in a supervisory role—interrupted and informed us, in a very rude manner, that the kitchen closed at 1 pm and the only option available was the buffet.
When we mentioned that the website stated brunch service until 2 pm, he replied in a dismissive tone and insisted the buffet was the only choice. Since this wasn’t what we had planned, we decided to leave.
We fully respect a restaurant’s rules and hours, but clear communication on the website is essential, and respectful customer service should always be a priority. I hope this feedback helps future guests avoid the same confusion.

Had the buffet, it was ok. Seemed like it was reheated at some point and then put out.

Everything about our experience was amazing! The food atmosphere and birthday desert were all incredible. Oleg was our server and I must say he made our experience top notch. Will be back again for sure💜

Scrambled eggs and devilled eggs were very good. Very limited gluten free options for the brunch buffet. That was disappointing and made for an expensive ($36) breakfast. Service was mediocre. Slow to bring water, coffee, clear dishes etc
Twice previously we were impressed by the chef’s culinary skill and wine knowledge but not this time. The original pairing menu was changed after we put in our order, from a pork chop to pasta but we decided to try it anyway. We were served a goat cheese appetiser that was nicely flavoured. Then came a flavourless pasta with tough chicken. The desert was a pear with brown sugar water and oreo cookie crumbs, that was so hard it was inedible with the spoon it was served with. To top it off only two of the wine pairings were actually wine! (The desert was served with lemon cocktail). Did we just get the leftovers?

We had 4 adults who went there for Saturday brunch. The booth they sat us at was very low seating and the table was quite high by comparison. Weird seating, I asked to change to a normal 'type' dining seating which they had- so that was good. The buffet had only a handful of options and the food had been out for awhile and was cold. Some items weren't labelled and when I asked staff what was in the item, they didn't know. There was bread in the buffet, but no butter, so we had to ask and they gave us cold hard butter. I asked for soft butter, and he said sure and (I assume) tried to microwave the butter, but it came back just as hard. They had cold breakfast 'potatoes', but no ketchup or salt and pepper and we had to ask for that too. They also had a soup type polenta dish at the buffet that needed a spoon and we had to ask for that too. The staff seemed a bit clueless as to what was needed in the buffet and what was missing like signage, butter, etc. I wouldn't recommend at all for the $36 per person charge. The restaurant was virtually empty on a Saturday morning and I can see why.

We made an early reservation two hours before a concert at the Saddledome. The restaurant had no record of our reservation, but was able to seat us. Drinks took almost 30 minutes to arrive and we were never asked if we wanted another round at any point afterwards. The entrees took almost an hour to arrive after we ordered them. Despite the restaurant being fairly empty, service was inattentive and we had to walk to the bar to inquire about the delay. Food was pretty good, but some items had clearly been sitting for a while. We received apologies and they took some items off the bill, but gave no explanation for the delay. We had to rush through the food when it arrived, and were still late to the concert.
