It’s just a top- notch culinary and cocktail experience in Calgary that everyone should aim to try. Best lamb I’ve ever had.

This is a hidden gem. Lovely food - everything was just sooooo good. Sharing plates made for a fun evening. We had a vegetarian and a coeliac in our group and both were well catered for. Our server was really helpful advising us on each dish and how may we should order. Ceiling of the restaurant is on its own worth the visit! We will be back when weather warms up and we can sit out side.

Second time here in a month. Always a bit scary to retry a favorite. Will it be as good? The answer is a big YES! This restaurant puts so much love and effort in every detail. Every bit and taste is a wow. Wonderful staff. So relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent brunch menu and the food was great from the main to the dessert. Service was prompt and friendly and I love the interior - warm, sunny and architecturally unusual.
