    Concorde has set the bench mark for exceptional premium casual dining in Calgary, so expectations are high when dining at one of their properties. Barbarella, as expected, hit it out of the park once again! Brad B provided exceptional, knowledge and personable service., drinks were fantastic - from the Crimson Lion cocktail to the well curated beer and wine list and every dish was delicious! The ravioli is one of my favourites dishes in the city and we tried a couple of their Valentine’s features, which were also fabulous! We also really enjoyed the table we were sat at, tucked away in a corner of the main floor.

    As per usual, a lovely dinner at River Cafe. Hadn’t been for a while, so brought our guests to enjoy with us. Round of cocktails were great - unique and tasty. Beet and pea agnolotti appies were delicious. Our friends have a garlic sensitivity and the kitchen was amazing about it and made them a special fish dish without garlic. Much appreciated. The artic char and tenderloin entrees were cooked to perfection and very delicious. Our server was great - helpful and attentive. Freezing cold walk over made it that much more cozy inside. Still always cringe at the bill ($420 for 4) but worth it as a treat.
