        We were 45 minutes ahead of our reservation while the restaurant was trying to open, but they welcomed our table of 6 in no problem. Everyone was very accommodating. Food and drinks were delicious.

        Visited for Sunday Brunch. Decor of restaurant was nice but dining room was loud. Service was slow and waited a long time to be greeted once sat. Brunch buffet food items were very underwhelming with mostly breakfast options. Hot food items were not hot and everything was dry. Coffee quality poor. Service staff seemed overwhelmed. Way overpriced at $36 per person and there are far better options for brunch in Calgary for less.

        The experience is truly elevated with the chef's tasting menu. The chef's tasting menu is not offered on Sunday.

        Really unique interestingly decorated space just had drinks, but the bartender was pretty creative and had some great suggestions so we didn’t even order off. The venue felt like especially personal service would highly recommend.

        I met a friend here for breakfast and was excited to check this place out. The server was not good, didn’t bring the cream for the coffee until it was cold, didn’t offer ketchup when she brought my eggs. And then we didn’t see her ever again. We had to go to the bar to pay. Was not happy that the tip options were preset. I don’t feel she even deserved a tip but she got 16% because I had no other choice. This restaurant is cool looking but is way over rated. 3/10 terrible value for your dollar
