    This was a surprise. It is a well established place, but nailing that tomahawk to perfection was a hugely welcoming surprise. Best tomahawk ever, and not only in Calgary. I guess four day marinading and other magic must take place, still we treasured every bite. Broccolini and mushrooms were great as the sides; stake tartar was perfectly balanced; the salmon crudo had a beautifully balanced marinade but was a touch off. The tying part for it was Tasha, she was fantastic, full of energy, leaving us with the image of our new best place to go to! Thank you all.

    We chose Hy's to celebrate a special occasion and were not disappointed! The food was delicious, our server (Dino) was outstanding, and the ambiance was great with live music playing in the restaurant. We elected to go with some of the tableside-created dishes and they were not only delicious but added some additional interest to our meal. This is definitely a place we will return to for special occasions.

    The dinner services were fantastic. The tuna tartare is a must. I didn’t really enjoy the cocktail I got because it was unexpectedly sweet, the ginger syrup overpowered the drink. I should have asked for a recommendation. Overall, a happy experience. Thank you.
