Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Lake Bona Vista

Our second visit was for my wife's birthday. The place was very busy on a Saturday night and we were thankful for making an online reservation which was super easy to do. I was a little disappointed that after indicating "birthday" in the occasion field of the reservation request that no one mentioned it nor did we even get seated in the DR but my wife didn't care so.... The server was very knowledgeable but not the most attentive. She walked by our drinks on the bar twice with empty hands even though we were 10 feet from the bar and didn't come to ask how our meals were or if we needed anything. I had to ask motion for fresh pepper before she did. Now that we've addressed those very minor issues let's talk about the good. The cocktails were unique and very good. I had Guinesss on tap amd my wife enjoyed a couple fo the house cocktails both of which she loved and now wants to make at home. Oh oh... The food was even better. I had lamb shank (again) and it might have been better the second time if possible. My wife had prime rib and suffice to say it was one of the rare times I've seen her finish her meal. Dessert was the home made black forest and it was moist, light and delicious. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Can't tell you how long we've waited to have a good neighborhood restaurant where the decor, service and food are all top notch.

The food is always exceptional here. Everything on the menu is dynamite. Service is always wonderful. Only complaint, it’s always freezing in there no matter what time of the year I go and the seats by the stairs are the worst seat in the house and I somehow always get sat there. Minor inconvenience for some of the best food in Calgary though.

We had a great evening at The Living Room. Our food was fabulous! The two of us shared the burrata, the autumn salad, the vitello tonato, the duck confit, and the creme brule. I didn't love the vitello as much as the other dishes, which were stellar. Cooked to perfection and flavorful. We also had fabulous service. I'd recommend it and definitely go back.

The staff at the Beltliner were accommodating and made our special celebration of my daughter’s conviction particularly magical.

Only four stars on service as we had to wait a while. In fairness, it was right after 12 noon and they were pretty busy!
