Always love this vin room in the front or upstairs. Near the kitchen a bit brighter not my favourite spot. Service is great and food is good too. They’re able to make a few adjustments for gluten-free for sure which is always great.

For the love of French cuisine and French culture located in the Beltline of Calgary, Cassis Bistro is the place. I was blown away by their exceptional food and wine list. Of course we had champagne by the glass and a French 75! The croquettes, the ravioli, the mushroom soup, the beef tartare and mussels frites! What I didn’t think we had room for was the desserts but I’m glad we did. The lemon tart and the creme brûlée was like being back in Lyon, France.

The experience at Chairman's is wonderful, if you are a steak lover or seafood you cant go wrong. Steaks were cooked to perfection and full of flavour, steak tartar is the best tartar in the city. Highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions.

Two ladies out for lunch - one of us celiac. We ordered a few small plates and everything was tasty, particularly the Steak and mushroom bites, broccoli and the prawn pocket. The deviled egg and salmon roulade were fine but I’d order the other ones again every time! Very pleasant and attentive (but not too attentive ) service. We appreciated having quite a few GF choices marked on the menu.
