   Might be my new favorite restaurant in Calgary! First of all, the building inside and out is beautiful. The seating is comfortable and the atmosphere is inviting. Started with the Beef Tartare and the Bone Marrow Toast. The Tartare was solid with the crispy potatoes and high quality beef, but the Toast was beyond delicious. One of my favorite dishes I've ever had! Then we shared the Salt and Vinegar Sunchokes and the 20 oz. Ribeye. The sunchokes were very unique and we really enjoyed them. The steak was amazing! Perfect cook and seasonings, tender, and buttery. Also tried 4 different cocktails and enjoyed them all.

   The space is beautiful and the food was delicious. The sunchokes are a must try. The menu is small but with great options to share or individual portions -all very well executed. I will definitely be returning

   Went to True Wild for my husband’s birthday dinner. As always I checked the menu prior to arrival. Much to my surprise it was not at all what the menu was in restaurant. This was extremely disappointing to me. The food we did order was good though steak was not hot upon arrival and mustard was too spicy to eat. Our sides, broccoli salad and fries, were both tasty. I did love the wine glass. Thin glass with a very skinny stem. Our waiter was very nice and friendly. Music and noise on the main floor was way too loud but luckily we were seated on the second level.

   This is a great spot for a cozy winter dinner. The building has a great history and has been beautifully renovated. The cocktails are tasty with my favourite being the Toronto. Standouts of the meal were the Sunchokes and the Canele. Can’t wait to try their patio when it gets a bit warmer.

   We visited True Wild Distilling with high expectations, thanks to the glowing food reviews, but our experience was a bit of a mixed bag. We started with the broccoli salad, which was heavily covered in parmesan but didn’t quite hit the spot for us. The beer tartar came with chips that tasted like Ruffles All-Dressed, which we weren’t fans of. Unfortunately, the French fries were stale and seemed to have sat at the window for a while before reaching our table. That said, there were some bright spots in the meal. The chili oysters were fantastic—flavorful and fresh, definitely a highlight. The cheeseburger wasn’t bad either, offering a satisfying bite that stood out amidst the other dishes. Perhaps we caught the restaurant on an off night. We’re still intrigued by the rave reviews and are willing to give it another shot in the future, hoping for a better experience next time.
