    Ten Foot Henry is my favourite restaurant in Calgary and has been consistently for years!! My favourite dish of the night was the new “marinated beets” with mama ghanoush, salted ricotta (I omitted due to dairy allergy) & cured zucchini - A true chefs kiss/honourable mention to this extraordinary explosion of flavours, vivid colours and complimentary textures which paired superb with my delightful blueberry roiboos tea! Thank you all as always for the exceptional hospitality, service & care this Valentine’s Day weekend!! Much love & appreciation, Sam

    Wonderful service, not only from the server but from the whole front of house team. Very balanced and creative menu. Cocktails were also very well put together and all in all very reasonably priced for the quality of food. We had 3 starters and 2 mains and had a tough time picking a favourite! We will definitely return to sample more of the menu as we had a hard time choosing. Highly recommend.

    Wow, Wow, Wow. Our first visit to the fabulous steak house and it will not be our last. The best Filet. The sides are so generous and delicious. Particularly loved the Fingerling potato. Steaks were perfectly seasoned and the bearnaise sauce was generous enough for two. Drinks were excellent and the service was 5 stars. I cannot thank you enough for making our Valentine's Day so fun and memorable.
