| - We came here for the Big Taste YYC Festival because who doesn't love three courses of fondue?
The historic building was once the childhood home of our flag designer, George Stanley, it is relatively well-maintained and very unique setting for a dinner out.
We had our own private room upstairs and enjoyed the ambiance. Our server was somewhat busy so things took rather long, but nothing too out of the ordinary for a Friday night downtown.
The first course was a cheese and bread fondue which was very tasty, but would have liked some other stuff besides bread to dip in like perhaps apple slices.
Second course was the beef fondue which I'd never had before and was rather interesting! It came with a baked potato (totally delicious), some mushrooms and zucchini to dunk into the beef broth, as well as a salad. The beef was very tender and also came with a few different dipping sauces.
The final and most exciting course (for me) was the chocolate fondue! It came with bananas, pineapple, strawberries and banana bread to dunk into the chocolatey goodness :)
I wasn't drinking, but my friends all tried some of the cocktails and martinis and all said they were tasty.
Overall, the experience was good, I'd definitely like to go back and try their brunch though. The dinner was tasty but nothing outstanding, and the service was a bit slow and scattered. I will definitely be back though to try more menu items.
