| - We decided to try this restaurant in Calgary after a few days of hiking in Canmore, especially since my friend was looking for a more vegetable-based option. It was also great for a late lunch as this is an all-day restaurant.
Atmosphere: 4.5/5 I love the decor here - especially all the hanging terrariums and the quiet relaxed atmosphere with an open kitchen. The chairs definitely remind me of school haha! Since we arrived at 3pm after a walk along 17ave, it was not very busy, so we were able to enjoy our dining experience here. Apparently it can become quite busy and reservations are usually needed.
Food: 4/5 There were definitely some interesting options on the menu. Most of the dishes are meant for sharing. We ended up choosing the roasted cauliflower, egg bagna cauda, garlic bread crumb; green beans, walnut caper, ricotta salata, and scallops with smoked proscuitto, olive tomatos and herbs. The scallops were probably my favorite and went well with the tomato / herbs, although portion sizes are on the smaller side. With the cauliflower, we were not sure how to eat it as we didn't discover the egg or bread crumbs until digging into the dish a little more. The beans were ok - I liked the touch of caper. Overall interesting combination of ingredients which worked well, although I did expect the portions to be larger. We finished off with the coconut cake, which was large and delicious!
Service: 4/5 Very attentive and friendly
Price: 3/5 High for portion sizes
Overall: 3.5/5 Overall, I enjoyed our dining experience at Ten Foot Henry. Very nice, unique, and relaxed decor especially the plants, however I did expect the portion sizes to be larger for the price.
