| - I was helping to plan a small birthday celebration, and wasn't able to get online rezos for 6 for the Saturday so I was in a bit of a panic. Luckily, all worked out and our crew was seated together - and that was my last problem of the evening!
The menu we got was designed for sharing - and share we did! We got the chef's charcut platter, which was much more robust than we had been expecting... in a good way! It was overflowing with generous portions of lamb cuts and sausage, and all fantastic, although we had to order extra crostinis. It was a meat lovers paradise! We also sampled the pretzels, a steak, the fantastic poutine and so much more. Everything was
(I had been afraid that we didn't order enough food at the start, but we actually had the opposite problem - there was so much delicious stuff!).
Probably the highlight of the evening was that Connie herself came out to talk to everyone in the restaurant, table by table, and see how everything was. As a huge Top Chef fan, I was in food channel heaven, although it was a bit lost on our birthday boy.
I highly recommend it for service, food, and everything. Hands down, it remains one of the best restaurants in Calgary.
