    I had an excellent Mother’s Day brunch experience! The food was delicious and the manager was kind enough to turn the music down when my mom requested it.

    Best eggs Benedict we’ve ever had, lovely service, and quite happy with the bill at the end. We will be returning!

    Fantastic food offerings and calm atmosphere. Not too noisy even when busy. The waitstaff could be a little quicker, but we’re attentive and welcoming otherwise

    Good, not great. A bit short of wait staff on a Saturday. Nice selection of Canadian wines. But no rum on the drink menu as eveything Canadian sourced.

    Amazing food! My family and I went for dinner as a last-minute thing and we were so pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Definitely going again and I highly recommend it.

    This was our second time here, and it was not the same as the first time during the YYC Food experience. Not sure if the kitchen staff has changed or it was just an off night for them. My daughter's ordered the steak frites and the steak was cold and undercooked and not medium rare, and the frites were overcooked and hard like croutons. My wife's salmon was overly salted. And my cod dish, the cod temperature was lukewarm as if the fish was sitting around waiting for the sides. The service was slow even though there werent too many tables this evening. Disappointing considering we truly enjoyed our first visit here.

    Hello Jay, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback with us. We have recently launched some new menu items, as with all new menu items it can take some time to fine tune... We would very much like to have you back, email us at info@primarycolours.cafe, to host you again. Very Best, Primary Colours.
