   We just had the best dinner at Pigeonhole! We were lucky enough to have Lachlan as our server and he was amazing! We enjoyed every dish we ordered and can’t wait to go back again some time!

   We just got home from our dinner at Pigeonhole. This was our first time there, I picked it based on the name of a mocktail they had on their menu but was further enticed by the chicken schnitzel. Our experience was fantastic. Our main server was Amaris (I hope I’m spelling her name right) she was above and beyond amazing. Not only giving great suggestions, checking in with us throughout our meal, but also gave me a song to add a playlist I have for my work. The food was so, so, so tasty. We got the mushroom croquettes, charred cabbage, beef tartare, chicken schnitzel and hash browns for our savoury courses. For dessert we had the warm maple cake, and also the sweet clover soft serve. We throughly enjoyed all of the dishes but the standouts for us were the charred cabbage, and the sweet clover soft serve. My husband hates cabbage but loved the Pigeonhole’s charred version so much he wants to go back and have it again. I think the charred cabbage is one of the best bites of food I have gotten at a restaurant in Calgary in the twenty odd years I’ve live here. If you get a chance to try it, definitely do! With a name like sweet clover I expected the ice cream to be a bit grassy or have a herbaceous note to it but it was delicate without being bland or boring. And it was served with these fabulous oat crunchies that were seemingly simple but so delicious. The level of service we received was amazing. We felt free to breathe and enjoy ourselves while also feeling very catered to. Our plates were reset after each course, different staff brought out the courses, the drinks, and cleared and reset the table each time. As well, our main server was by often enough to feel we were being seen to but not so much we ever felt smothered. Every member of staff that came to our table was lovely and pleasant, with an attitude that seemed like they genuinely enjoyed being there and having us there as well.

   My friend and I came here for happy hour. Though we noticed that happy hour pricing and options have changed, it’s still great value and the staff are top notch. They’re all attentive and engaging people, with anyone ready to help no matter the section. We had a great time, and Pigeonhole remains one of my favourite places to go for an after dinner drink (and maybe a few oysters 😇)

   We had an excellent dining experience. The service was exceptional and the food was terrific. The half chicken schnitzel was awesome. We will definitely come back again.
