I went here for the Open Table Taste of Calgary whatever whatever. It was a 3 course set menu that spoiled me forever and bumped me up a dining bracket.
We brought our own wine. Corkage was $15 and well worth it although their wine list looked good too.
To start I had a souffle that words cannot describe. It was so light and fluffy I didn't believe it was egg at first. It feels like your eating mouse almost.
Then excellent fresh bread and butter, and the risotto WOW!!!!! Since eating theirs I have eaten 12 others, and tried to make my own 4 times now. Nothing compares. Nothing is even worthy to be on the same table as what they made. It was truly a work of art. I wish I could cook 1/6 that good. It was so flavorful.
Then dessert came. I completely forget what it was (6 months later finally writing this review) all I know is I liked it a lot at the time.
The atmosphere is romantic, modern, and has this excellent vibe to the place.
The service.... oh the service... I've eaten at a lot of places in Calgary. From $5 burgers to $250 a plate 5 star restaurants on the bow. None have matched that of the service at blink. I think that is where the name comes from because every time I would blink my wine would be refilled along with my water. Our server was a ninja. She just glided in without disrupting our conversation and took such excellent care of our table. I felt like Royalty!
Now we have moved to San Francisco, but next time we are in Calgary and looking for a celebratory meal this is where we are going.
