    Had a great time. Food was ok. Server was absent a lot but very nice until she was loudly confrontational about the tip left. Unfortunately it was a split bill miscalculation but the whole table felt embarrassed and left her more. Awkward.

    The staff were very friendly, great ambiance, and delicious food! We had Hannah as our server and she made our evening very enjoyable! She was very pleasant to talk to, knowledgeable and helpful with cocktail suggestions. We had a great evening at the Wednesday room, the smoked duck fat and truffle popcorn was our favourite!

    Our evening was unbelievably good. The service was great, the cocktails were delicious and we loved the themes, the tor however stole the show. Which’s doesn’t always happen. We had a few shareables - the tartare was next level. We orders mains - THE DUCK!!! 100% stole the show. Oh my goodness! Literally never ate something so good. The flavours were 👌🏻👌🏻. Definitely our favourite spot in Calgary now. And that’s a bold steal from another YYC fav. Top Notch. Can’t wait to go again. ❤️

    They double book our table after 2, 5 hours they take out us from our table. Without asking us if we want dessert or not. Will never go again! Very disrespectful.

    Food, drinks and service was amazing! Our table was located in the back on the main floor. Very romantic and cool vibes all around. The decor throughout the entire restaurant has a 1970s style that is very cool. Music is good as well. Definitely a cool restaurant for any occasion! Will definitely go back.

    Service and ambience were excellent. Ordered a $17 cocktail and a few share plates. Cocktail was small, average and nothing spectacular - brussel sprouts were amazing everything else was just okay. Won't be rushing back.

    Manager was unpleasant on arrival - we were 8 minutes late and he did not greet us but overheard us checking in and said “I was just calling you. Your table has another reservation at 8:15.” We did not feel welcome. Our server was excellent and told us to select 5-7 dishes for our party of 4 and to expect a slow food experience. However we had just received our drinks and the all the dishes arrived rapidly within a few minutes. We did not get to savour the dishes as expected and felt very rushed to eat prior to the food getting cold. Did not enjoy the experience. Had planned to order a bottle of wine but after all the food arrived at once we realized we would not enjoy it as it should be enjoyed. Food was good, but we won’t be back and would only recommend with instructions to only order 1 or 2 dishes at a time so as not to be rushed out as we felt we were.

    We had very poor service at the Wednesday room, our server was more interested in socializing g with co workers than check on us. The food was good and the cocktails were great! There was an awkward amount of time between our first dishes and second (>45 minutes), the table next to us turned over 2 times and we sat waiting most of the evening.

    This was a fixed price meal for Valentine's day. The server struggled to explain the dishes and was not attentive, despite having a small number of tables. Beef tartare: outstanding, perfect seasoning and acidity. Deviled eggs: very bland, despite having caviar. These could have been any lightly fried, under-seasoned food. At this point we asked for salt at the table. Potato rosti: good texture, but served with a sweet cream which was overpowering Tuna crudo: saved by truffle oil, but otherwise nondescript Prime striploin: a really good piece of meat, perfectly cooked; but again overpowered - this time by crab, which was served on top and all through the sauce. Unfortunate because the steak was really beautiful, but tasted like a crab. Chocolate torte: a really sad brownie, you have likely had better desserts at chain restaurants. Super disappointing finish to the meal.

    Excellent gluten free and vegan options. Outstanding service, our server had good recommendations and gave us the space we like while still being attentive to our needs. The Fried Tofu-Rhubarb sweet and sour sauce was sooo delicious as were all the food options. The desserts and the cocktails were also great. We had one louder “business lunch” at a nearby table, but atmosphere was charming.

    Upon arrival for our 5pm reservation on NYE for 2 people we were greeted and then immediately told that we would need to vacate our table by 7. We ordered espresso martinis and 15 minutes later then told us the coffee machine had just broken. Ordered a bottle of wine instead. The server could not open the bottle and was at our table awkwardly struggling for about 10 minutes before she took the bottle and had someone else uncork it away from the table in the middle of the restaurant. We tried to order beef croquettes and they were out of those. We got 7 spice chicken which was sweet and savoury. We ordered charred potatoes which were flavourless boiled mini potatoes. The pork belly was a dried out pork chop with a layer of fat. It was terrible. The ribeye was a poor cut with a large piece of gristle through the middle. Only a few decent bites out of that. During the course of the 90 minutes we were there the female servers spent most of their time standing around talking to the male bartenders. We had to refill our own wine the entire time. When the server brought the food she was quite rude with placing the dishes on the table as it was a small table for 2. We basically only ate the chicken and tried the other 3 items - eating about 25 percent of our meal. We finally fed up and asked for the bill. The espresso martinis were on the bill and had to ask it changed which took forever. The people beside us were drinking cappuccino, which was strange that the coffee machine was apparently broken. While waiting 15 minutes for our bill to fixed a new table was seated and the women that arrived had enough perfume on to need to call the fire department. Only time I have left zero dollars for a gratuity. An awful experience to say the least. While I had been to the Wednesday room in the past for many business meetings - this one left me with no desire to return. We didn’t even finish our wine.

    Love the vibe and the decor. The Cocktails are inventive and delightful. Service was a little on the slow side. The Scallops were in a sauce that was too sweet for my taste, and the flavor overpowered the delicate taste of the scallops. The other dishes were very nice. Was good value. I plan to go back to try some other entrees and more of the cocktails.
