Visiting Calgary and my friend brought me here. I love the decor. It's modern and cozy and comforting. Arrived on a Tuesday night, we had no trouble getting a table.
Service was awesome. No complaints here. For food, we had:
- charred cabbage - 5/5 - who would have thought!?? Is that Japanese mayo they brush on in? So good!!
- half duck - 4/5 my expectations of duck are quite high. Presentation reminds me of Peking duck. But the pancakes they serve it with is weird. It's like eating foamy pancakes and they only give you 6? Which is not enough to finish the bird. They're too thick to really hold much meat either. This is a shared plate.. so I would have expected them to cut the duck for us in slices so it was awkward for our party to distribute. Instead we made quite a mess. The gravy was delicious. I thought the meat was a bit over cooked perhaps. as the meat was a little soft and mealy?
- oxtail and grits - 3.5/5 - meh it's was okay. Wasn't a fan of the grits. Had shrimp and grits last month in San Fran and was blown away. This version left me "meh"
- spinach ricotta with truffle gnocchi. 4/5 these are more like gnuudis. The sauce is amazing !!!!
- lemon Madeline's - 5/5- yum! Great way to end the me. Warm and made to order. Edges are perfectly crispy and crunchy with soft warm centers. I would like 12 please hehe
I'd come her again for sure but would probably try their octopus and get the cabbage again
