We were heading to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and and stumbled upon this cafe in downtown Calgary. It is an Asian fusion cafe with live music and visual art from local artists.
Atmosphere: 4/5 I liked the decor and artwork in the cafe. The live music performance of the night was just starting when we finished and it did get a little loud to talk esp being quite close to the stage, but overall a good and relaxed atmosphere. There was some free street parking along the road after 6pm.
Food: 3.5/5 There were a number of menu options including vegetarian/vegan- some asian fusion appetizers, sandwiches, salads, but it seems like the bowls are most popular. I ordered the 'ninja food' bowl - thai salmon and vegetable rice bowl, which I thought was good overall. The vegetables did get quite oily as I got to the bottom of the bowl though, but I also prefer lighter and perhaps more bland food.
Service: 3/5 Servers were polite and friendly. It did take some time to order as they were also busy trying to get the performers set up on stage.
Overall: 4/5 I would return again to try some of the other bowls. Maybe next time I would emphasize to go lighter on the sauce / oil. I like the atmosphere of the cafe and it is quite conveniently located in downtown Calgary.
