| - I think this location is getting a raw deal. I work very close to Flat Iron and eat there 2-5 times per month (depending on if I have groceries for lunch or not), and I have had a great experience EVERY time. I guess it's good that it's not overly busy as I always get a seat quickly which is important on a one hour lunch break, but I feel bad it's not busier. The location only opened about 1.5-2 years ago and has a really nice décor with a modern/comfortable feel to it. The giant 6-8 foot wall fireplace is pretty cool to sit next to (especially in winter) if you're cold from the travels. The wine cellar display is also a very nice touch to whoever decorated the joint. During the summer, they have an outside patio which makes for a nice lunch hour tanning session while getting some eats.
Service has been great every time I have been there rating a 4/5 to 5/5 on each visit - which I appreciate as I am a fan of consistency. The servers are always friendly, happy, helpful and attentive to the table. The shining star of the restaurant in my opinion is definitely their menu and the food (which you would hope after all in a restaurant). I think I have eaten almost everything on the menu and many items too many times (think mushroom asiago risotto balls). Seriously, everything is good and I don't know that I (or any of my colleagues) could name a bad meal had there in 2 years. The appetizers are extremely tasty and well created, the burgers are massive and to die for, the pastas are some of the best outside of Italian restaurants (and better than some of those even) and their salads are really, really good (I know, who reviews a salad). I'd like to give a huge shout out to their chef(s) as they have created a really good menu. I really don't know why it's usually a bit slow there during lunch hour. Maybe it's because Joey's is close by and has ruled the market in my area for forever or maybe it's because Hooters is its closest neighbor - which is bad publicity.
Favorite things: The Summer Fling Salad is my favorite salad in Calgary, The Davinci pasta is very tasty, the quesadilla is a great grab for lunch and for you burger mongers - do it, it's worth the red meat intake. As previously noted, the asiago risotto balls (on the appy side) make me a better person.
Please stop by and try out this awesome restaurant for the really great food, good service and please help keep my lunch time hang out alive.
