- MMikiCalgary / Southern Alberta •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoExcellent staff. All very professional and dedicated. We were asked by different staff members if we were doing ok and needed anything, when it was a very busy night (tables were all full). We weren't a fan of all the meats, found them on the bland side, but there were definitely a couple we loved and had more of those ones. All the meats were cooked to perfection. And the buffet was fantastic. Several vegetarian options that were delicious, which was appreciated. The Valentines menus was an excellent value. The house wine was amazing and we wish we knew where we could buy it, or the winery, outside of the menu price! (They only provide it at the restaurant at the menu price like you were buying it for the table).More infoPampa Brazilian Steakhouse Calgary DowntownPrice: Expensive• Brazilian Steakhouse• Downtown•4.5

- DdarrenCalgary / Southern Alberta •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had Anastasia and she was excellent. The lamb, charred cabbage, and naan were very tasty. They seem to have someone who knows what they are doing with the wine list which is nice. Well thought out and Anastasia was knowledgeable regarding the different wines. The potato starter had a lot of different flavours going on and I liked whatever the little crunchy things were in there. It enhanced the texture of the dish.More infoCalcutta Cricket ClubPrice: Expensive• Indian• Beltline•4.7
