| - This place serves absolutely delectable food. This tapas place uses fresh ingredients in innovative ways, pairing tastes that I didn't think would go together, and yet, do. One prime example is the yellow beets with pecans, horse radish creme, and BC cherries. Sounds weird, and yet tastes marvelous. The roasted cabbage with jalapeño and the lobster mushroom vied for first place. The cabbage was impressive and allegedly their best selling dish; a lowly vegetable elevated, with a soft moist interior laced with crispy edges ever so slightly burnt, laid over a magnificent jalapeño aioli and topped with mounds of cheese. Mouthwatering.
The place isn't cheap (we paid ~$65 a person for food + drinks) - but it's oh so worth it. It's a perfect place for 2 people to dine - you get just enough of the dish to feel satiated. I've come with 4 and it's fine, but you end up just craving more because it's so delicious. We ordered 6 dishes between the two of us and we were stuffed...and we're two guys with good appetites. Our server with prompt, friendly, and offered us more aioli when it didn't seem like we had enough. When we mentioned we were in a slight rush, she immediately got us our bill.
Best food I've had in Calgary so far.
