So here's the deal: Good food, great interior decorating and fun atmosphere. I may be inclined to go back there when they have more wait staff on....
You see, I, along with 3 others took in a movie just down the street at the Globe Cinema during CIFF and decided this eatery would be a wonderful addition to the already super evening.
It would have been....if we planned to spend just under 3 hours there... there were only two servers and our server told us they weren't prepared for such an onslaught of diners. My first thought was "It's Friday night, I made a reso because it's Friday night in YYC and EVERYBODY goes out to din din on Friday night. I kept the thought politely to myself and got to know the 3 others I was dining with.
If you've got the time and the dime, eat here as it was incredibly tasty. Just took a loooong time to get seated, get our bottle of wine, and our after dinner espressos - our food came out within the appropriate time though.
And the service was friendly - our server did her best for sure.
I had the risotto and that evening it was bacon, zucchini and leek and it was splendid.
The others ordered pork belly which looked good, bruschetta was fabulous and the tomato soup was deemed good as well.
