I 200% agree with Carli W below - I went in a group of 7. Five of us were seated and were waiting on two. Reservation was at 7:30.
We ordered 3 appetizers to start with and some drinks. It was now 7:50. My friends were looking for parking at the time. then the hostess comes up to our table with two guests and tells us its been an hour and that she needs to take a table away.
I told her our reservation was at 7:30 and she said yes. Then I told her that it's only been 20 minutes and that we ordered food and drinks already and guess what she said? - "do you want me to call my manager?" Funny thing is, my friend just then arrived. " There they are." Hostess turned away, clearly pissed.
Food was mediocre (6 appies and steak), the steak we ordered took 40 mins and it was bleeding raw - what?. I couldn't eat it I paid $60 for a dinner I hated. We will not return. They're all about turning the tables for more money. Management and servers alike, which I understand but there is no need to be rude especially when the majority of the party is here. First time in a very long time that I tipped 5% - my standing average is 15%.
By the way, you guys just made the top of my very short list of two most hated restaurants in Calgary. There are SO many good restaurants on 17 ave and 4th, don't waste your money here. I just wish there was a way to place zero stars.
