I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like Rush in Calgary. Think high French service... surprisingly 'Big' space... contemporary decore and food. The tasting menu was pricey but well worth it.... I don't cry often at dinner but I came close with the Ravioli stuffed with Pollenta (who knew you could even do that??). Did I mention it was expensive? With a flight of wine and several (sensational) courses it came close to $150/person but it's hard to feel too upset with the full package. Personally I've never been a fan of the BIG restaurant (in Calgary, think Teatro) or BIG service (in Calgary, think La Chaumiere) but it works for Rush. It's not the place you'd go to all the time (and if an astroid was hurtling towards Calgary and you could only save one restaurant I'd be more inclined to save River Cafe) but for particular events there is clearly a space for Rush.
