    Outstanding food and service! They were even kind enough to offer us a free dessert to help us celebrate the birthday we were there for.

    Great food and good wine prices. Great service which is important to me! Liked that the Manager was around and overseeing things. Don't see that a lot now a days.

    What a great experience, we went for my mom’s bday late lunch. Had the mushroom ravioli, margarita pizza and a burger. The food was great, our server went over and above with a slice of cake. Smile, quick and efficient service. The drinks were fantastic. I can’t say enough about this place. Our server was Jewel, she was fantastic. Thank you

    Finally seeing my buddy for the first time in a while. Based on each of our home bases Cochrane and deep SW Calgary, we usually meet in the middle at Merchants. Of course, as usual Wednesdays are packed so we made reservations for 7:45. When i got in, there were 2 girls at the front, no patrons, just these 2 hostesses I guess. They paid me ZERO attention. After standing like an idiot waiting for maybe 15 swconds for them to acknowledge me, which they never did, I told them "good night, we have reservations, I think my buddy is here already, Duane". The shorter girl in the glasses just pointed to the dining area, NO words, just pointed, and then continued talking to the other Hostess. I guess I was not worth any pleasantries or a simple polite smile, nothing. Must be the colour of my skin. On another note, I had a burger with fries.... I've never been more disappointed with the quality and taste. The burger patty was dry, the entire meal was cold and the taste was, well there was NO taste. It was just an absolutely terrible experience. I am not sure we will waste our time to meet here again. Very disappointed and doubt I will recommend.
