The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, but I think the best thing about Bonterra was the service. During our business dinner we were blessed with a waiter who took genuine pride in what he was doing and the food he was representing. He described with great detail the restaurant's signature dishes and their reasons for being so. He also described the chef's use of seasonal vegetables in the feature dishes in such a way that made it impossible not to order them.
I had the risotto with fresh corn and mushrooms. I'm not always a risotto fan when there are pasta dishes around, but this was delicious! Also amazing was the warm tomato and goat cheese salad, which was made with garden fresh tomatoes. So fresh!
I'm not from Calgary, but whenever I visit I will be sure to return to Bonterra!
