| - We decided to check out the new popular hang out in Calgary "The Rec Room" spacious and lots of VR gaming and Food. We sat upstairs in the restaurant nestled next to a ping pong table. I ordered their Blueberry Mimosa, Buttermilk Biscuits with Vanilla Honey Butter & Strawberry Jam, Smoked Meat Deviled Eggs and Wood Grilled Asparagus served with a soft boiled egg and béarnaise, The Hot Smoked Salmon Benedict - two poached eggs, in-house smoked salmon, grilled portobello mushroom caps, fennel, spinach, napa slaw, béarnaise sauce. The Skillet Mac + Cheese - caramelized onions, smoked cheddar, marble, fontina, herbed breadcrumbs & she added parmigiano charred broccoli & sun-soaked tomatoes. The Devil Eggs were not great, smoked meat was lacking, which was disappointing. The biscuits was ok the vanilla honey butter was not great it was pasty, biscuits was not warm so the butter did nothing for it. Grilled Asparagus was served in a cast iron pan (thinking its gonna be hot) it was cool. My Hot Salmon Benedict was also disappointing. The in house smoked salmon was like picked through and the serving of the salmon was very little. All placed on a mushroom cap instead of a english muffin. The lack of Salmon had a nice smoke to it, but i felt the Benedict was so over whelmed by the thick Mushroom Cap and the Napa Slaw and fennel it just took away from the very small salmon portion and the egg. My partners Mac and Cheese was not flavour full nor was it creamy, it was dry through out. Over all we were extremely disappointed with their food all food was served room temperature. Nothing was hot. The dishes lacked flavour and i am so sure that some of these dishes were made in advance. The place was not busy so, the kitchen should be able to keep up. Even though they did forget my main course. They rushed it and it was not even hot. Overall the service was friendly our server was apologetic & comped my entree. #calgaryfoodie #calgarydining #yycrestaurant #yycdining #foodlovers #foodporn #food
