  • Finally another new restaurant in Calgary the likes of Rush which is doing it's best to put Calgary on the food map. Almost everything is sourced local as possible and made in house. The care they take with sourcing the ingredients is not diminished at all during the preparation of the final product. We sat at the best table, in my opinion, at the food bar overlooking the kitchen during Dine Out Calgary week. Everything on the menu looked so good we couldn't just have the three course set menu. Instead we splurged (well not really when we got the final bill) and ordered up seven courses between the two of us. They were: 1. Warm unique olives in a orange peel infused olive oil - very good tasting olives without the tang you get with other strong olives, I wished there was a little bread to soak up the delicious oil though. 2. Pigs head mordadella - yes an actual pork head stuffed with pistachios, meat and truffles sliced paper thin. This was a great appetizer and the mustard was not extra strong which worked beautifully with the pork. 3. Smoked, roasted sliced organic beef - they have a rotisserie over the grill that roasts chicken and the beef on a spit. The smokiness of the beef was just right and not overpowering like it could been in a BBQ house. It maybe could have used a little more of the delicious dripping that they were collecting but other than that it was a hit. 4. Pink leg of lamb over white lima beans - the caper and parsley sauce that the beans and lamb were floating in were so good I'd inject it directly into my veins if it was possible. Lamb was nicely pink, very tender and I think it was sous vide. 5. Duck fat deep fried poutine - thick potato fries in gravy with cheese. This was probably the weakest dish to me but only because everything else was so excellent so far. The fries could probably benefit from being double/triple cooked. They were very potatoey in flavour but a little dry and the gravy could have used a little more seasoning to balance out the thick fries. Saying all this, I'd still wolf down an order in an instant next time. They were super accommodating too as the other half couldn't have the gravy due to the wheat they used so they gave us an additional order of fries with grated cheese. 6. Homemade chocolate cookies - this normally comes with a vanilla milkshake but I was so full (and I can always get my money's worth in a buffet...) that we just got the cookies to go in a box and skipped the milkshake. It did look good though as we saw a few orders go out. 7. Blue cheese with homemade apple jam, walnuts and a preserved apple. Apparently the apples come from Connie's parents backyard in Calgary so you can't really get more local than that. I'm not a fan of blue cheese but the other half said it was divine. The apples were extremely good though. They also have a Natura system there that produces their own sparkling and still water. Very good for the environment and it does taste very good. All this for under $100 for the two of us before tip. Mind you we didn't partake in any alcohol or drinks but still great bang for the buck for the quality. Since it was Dine Out week and it was packed for a Wed, the service was not as attentive as you would find in Rush but everyone was polite and friendly. I'm going back soon to try out their burger or flatiron steak, both looked absolutely incredible. Hopefully I can control myself and leave a little more room for dessert too!
