    Managed to get a last minute booking here and I’m so glad we did. The cocktails were incredibly unique and unlike every other restaurant in Calgary, so tasty and well balanced. Had the tomahawk steak for 4 people and ended up needing boxes, incredible value for money with that item! The Josper roast on the steak was an excellent touch. Our server Julia was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy or distracting. The music they had playing in there was SO fun and brought the mood up for us, helping us keep the energy flowing with our conversations. The service, food and drinks were all so perfectly timed, I’m massively impressed. Thank you so much to the team at FinePrint, you guys have very quickly become my go to place for a night out 💖

    The food was absolutely delicious. Shared many different plates with friends including the roasted carrots (to die for), the beets, the tomato burrata ( warmed and so much flavor), the cabbage, the ahi tuna, the chicken, the steak and the scallops. Finished with sharing a piece of coconut cake and the butterscotch pudding. All amazing!

    Restaurant is cozy with warm lighting, beautiful green plants and black and gold tones. Every bite of our food - artichoke hummus, bison carpaccio and charred cabbage - was so delicious and went perfectly with our French Chenin Blanc. Definitely will be going back and making this a regular spot, for a date or catch up with friends.

    We had the most amazing experience at Hy’s! The food was out of this world but even better than the food was the service. Nikola took such good care of us he treated us like VIPS and made our experience one of a kind. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for delicious quality food and out of this world service, we will be going back.
