    Absolutely fabulous! The ambience and vibe werr wonderful and the food was amazing. Two people at our table ordered the French onion soup and once they shared a taste, two others then ordered it. The rib eyes were delicious, peppercorn steaks great and every side we had (mushrooms, mashed potatoes and broccolini) was terrific. Our server, Shelby was so nice and very attentive. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening!

    Every part of our dining experience at Lupo was outstanding. I know chef Justin Leboe from his Calgary days, winning all the awards for his restaurants. So it was great to see that his food continues to be full of flavour, variety and unexpected twists. We were a group of 9, and our server herded us cats expertly, getting happy hour drinks and snacks in under the wire. Everyone loved their pasta mains, especially my al Limone (perfect with a glass of Soave). The atmosphere is bright and busy and super friendly. Definitely try their happy hour 🥂

    Food was amazing! The only item we didn’t love was the Sable fish. Fish was cooked perfectly, just didn’t have much flavor to the dish. Mushroom toast was my favorite! Thanks for the birthday Prosecco 😊
