This Restaurant encapsulates exactly what’s wrong with family dining in Calgary. This is a spacious relatively Well, laid out restaurant in a wealthy neighborhood. But you walk in and although grand, there’s really no personality, but it could fit 10 people around the table, so that in itself is a win. This is an over view of 2 separate dining experiences.

Service is the best part. Generally friendly and attentive. It would be standard service in many parts of the world, but in Calgary it’s considered outstanding.

The food is fine. However, it is outrageously expensive. $33 Burrata, $31 for Fagioli, which actually was just green beans. I thought it might actually be Italian fagioli, which takes some time energy and effort to make well. No, I paid $31 for Sautéed green beans. In fact, every side dish was just outrageously expensive.

The pasta is fine, but Literally just Pasta with red sauce is $25 as the cheapest menu item. If you want any sort of protein in the pasta, it’s $35 plus. Again the meat dishes were uninspired but fine. However if you’re paying $60-$90 plus for a steak. It better be insanely good. The Burrata, was dry and tasteless. I’m not even sure how. The gamberi are ok-very mildly spiced, you get four on some mini toast. You will forget the taste immediately after you’ve swallowed.

This restaurant is overall is fine. I’m sure they are making money hand-over-fist. But it is Everything that’s wrong with dining in Calgary. Corporate atmosphere, outrageous prices, basic flavours, no adventure no creativity $800 and you’re out the door With no specific memory of the dining experience Except that you paid $31 for green beans.yt
