    We arrived at 915 on a Friday night for our reservation. Although there were multiple empty tables, none were ready to serve guests and we had to wait for it to be set. Our server started off great. Greeted us and made great recommendations. First drinks and appetizers came fast and 10/10 food. After that, our server was almost non-existent. There were only two other tables in the room and he seemed to be doing various tasks as well as socializing with staff. When our main course came, I had an empty drink waiting for someone to come ask if we would like another. I grew annoyed as we watched 3-4 other servers not help us. I finally got a second drink when all our tacos were done. The tacos were amazing although a bit pricey. After we finished the tacos, our plates sat dirty on our table for 15 minutes and I completed my second drink. It went empty for a while before we found our server. Finally, we asked for dessert and ordered my last drink. Dessert came fairly promptly. But my drink never came. The dessert doughnut lacked flavour. And so did my non existent drink. We asked for the bill and told him that the last drink never came. It had been sitting, poured on the bar top the entire time. He brought it to me and did not charge for it. But we were done at this point. He was always friendly. But for the price of the meal I would expect much better service. Tacos are amazing though.

    Food was just not good. The flavours were lacking and just tasted off, from appetizers to drinks to tacos. While the service was good, will never go back and would not recommend as the food was just bad.

    Some of the best food I've ever had in Calgary - especially the appetizers and duck fat tacos.
