| - Well, this is officially my first review in Calgary that I wish I could give ALL THE STARS TO!
What a great place. From my understanding, this place is relatively new. I hope that everything stays the way it does.
Service: STELLAR. You will receive stellar service at this place. We had a reservation, and the place was quite busy. The host, said that there would be about a ten minute wait. No worries, as for me it was a first date! More conversation time for us. After about five minutes of waiting, the host brought us both a glass of prosecco which was on the house. WHO DOES THAT?! Great impression to start off the night.
After we were seated, the amazing service did not stop there. Our server was very knowledgeable, friendly, and super accommodating.
Food: Upon being seated, we were provided with some delicious popcorn with truffle oil to start as off! Yum. Only request would be that I wish that the popcorn was warm.
To start, we had the toast. I can't remember what kind of toast it is, but WOW. Delicious depth to it, and the egg was a perfect touch. We also had the fried tempura kale. I'm not going to spoil how good this was. Just order it.
We decided to go with the "cock" for our main. This is a full chicken. YUM. DELICIOUSNESS. The flavour from that bird was SO good. If I only had to choose one cock to spend the rest of my life with, it would be that one.....
Then for dessert, we had their doughnut fondue. YUM! House made doughnuts. Delicious crunch and flavour to them. Please save room for this.
Drinks: They have a great menu here. Now, when I go to places that make specialty drinks, I always ask if they can make a "Ramos Gin Fizz". My all-time favourite drink. THIS WAS THE ONLY PLACE IN CALGARY I HAVE FOUND TO MAKE IT, THUS FAR!!!! The bartender made it a point in her night to come to our table and ask me how it was? She explained to me that it was her first time making the drink, but it had tasted like she had been making it for years. More kudos for their awesome service.
Atmosphere: Great place for a first date! I think I can say that from personal experience, right? It is perfect for intimacy such as mine, but also works great for large groups which we saw at the restaurant.
If there is only one place you have time to spend your appetite on, please choose CLEAVER! :)
