| - This is the first ever Summer Feast in Calgary featuring three-course menus and 13 restaurants. As a result, I was excited to give this restaurant, which was advertised as featuring local products, a try for mid-week supper.
Atmosphere: 4/5 Overall relaxed and open atmosphere, with some natural lighting and a good view of the kitchen which is interestingly located on a level above the dining area. When we got here, it was not very busy, but things did pick up. We were seated along the wall at a smaller table, which was ok but it did get louder as the night went on and the restaurant got busier. Parking along 17th ave can also be a little difficult to find.
Food: 4.5/5 We ordered one of each item from the Summer Feast menu - and everything was delicious! The appetizers were Fricasee of Calamari and summer vegetable tostada. The marinade for the calamari was definitely tasty and I love vegetables so the tostada was good too. The main courses were pine haven grass fed beef and braised line-caught cod. The cod was cooked well - with a slightly flaky outside but moist and tender in the middle. At first I was a little disappointed at the small portion sizes so far, but the dessert made up for it. The M.M. apple pie with ice cream was huge and delicious!! I would definitely say while the appetizers and the main courses were great, the dessert was amazing. I would love to return to try some of their other dishes
Service: 3/5 Overall efficient, however it did get a little busy at the end so the staff had to rush a bit.
Price: 3/5 Overall reasonable; the main course and appetizer options were on the smaller side but the dessert made up for it
Overall: 4/5 I loved the food here, especially the amazing dessert, so I would love to try some of their other menu options.
