  • Let me start this off by saying that I am from New York, which has some of the best restaurants in the world and that I've been traveling all over the U.S. and Canada now for about a year. Having said that, the review that will follow this introduction will be as objective as possible. I've been in Calgary for about a month or so now and I've eaten in a lot of the local restaurants here, and I can say I've had many great experiences. When my girlfriend came to visit we stopped at Gypsy for her final dinner while in town and we couldn't have been more disappointed with the meal and the prices. My girlfriend ordered a pasta dish with a vodka sauce and "prawn" and scallops for $22. Not only did we not get any bread or butter but the "prawn" that came with the pasta dish were more like frozen cocktail shrimp. To top it off the sauce was horrible, the pasta undercooked, and the seafood very over cooked. They included 2 scallops and 3 "prawn" in the meal. Overall a horrible meal. I ordered the Leek Wrapped Salmon topped with a Dijon Hollandaise Sauce with Rice Pilaf. While my meal was much better than my girlfriends, it was still way overpriced at $33!!!! The rice pilaf was good but I've also never had rice pilaf with diced carrots, peppers, and chunks of broccoli. The salmon filet itself was overcooked as well. We also had 2 glasses of Chardonnay that was $9 a glass. We had high hopes for the service because as we walked in we asked to see a menu to decide whether or not to eat there and a nice younger waiter said "trust me guys, there's no need to go anywhere else." This made us think...Hmmm, okay lets give it a shot. Then we had an older waiter that was attentive, mostly because we were 2 of about 7 people in the restaurant, but also had a slightly "slimy" demeanor, for lack of a better term. I normally wouldn't make any sort of personal comment about any server, but both my girlfriend and I felt very uncomfortable with this server. I have recognized that Calgary is a more expensive city...although I can't quite figure out why...but I think that for 2 glasses of wine and 2 sub par showings for meals that we wouldn't have paid $80. We left the restaurant feeling taken and unsatisfied. I would say to stay FAR away from this Gypsy.
