  • I like. I really like. This brand new spot in Calgary on 17th is just the kind of place that makes me feel right at home. I'm not sure if it's the inviting Plantation design of the interior, the delicious and innovative craft-cocktail menu, or the delicious food... okay well it's probably all three that will get me rolling back in as soon as I set foot in Cow-town again. This is about as far from what I'd expect to find in a place like Calgary as you can get. And I would consider it to be all full of win. I only dined on the bar side of this gorgeous Argentinean joint but I am 100% sold. And all it really took was a couple of tapas and some cocktails. The bar at O&A is open until late, and so is the kitchen (1:45!). They serve up a limited menu of tapas including oxtail empanadas, beef and fish tacos, ceviche, papas fritas and a few other options. Upon the recommendation of the server we got the papas ($9), a downright incredible yet simple dish of smashed yellow potatoes that are then fried and tossed in rosemary, salt, lime and Cholula. This salty, tangy dish is deepened with the rosemary for a complete savory experience. The empanadas ($3 for $12), while a tad on the doughy side, are filled with a fantastic stewed/pulled oxtail meat. Another win. Both of these dishes had me excited to try the tacos (3 for $12) and the ceviche. On the cocktail front, I had a very creative take on an old fashioned made with aged rum and muddled white grapes. A hint of apple/pear rounded out an off-dry cocktail with a luscious smoothness of an oaked rum. My companion savored her floridita - Hemingway-styled daquiri with an added touch of a grapefruit float. A little more tart than I would normally like but I was impressed nonetheless. Another option on the menu that had me chomping at the bit was the manhattan made with rested tequila. A desire I had to shelve for a future visit. At $12/drink for these carefully hand-made libations made with call spirits, I can say without a doubt value was had. If O&A's cocktails and food are indicative of what is to come for the food scene in Calgary, I can say that I'm excited to return and do some exploring,
