My wife and I dined at the Cactus Club Cafe on Stephen Ave in Calgary this past Sunday. All the staff we interacted with, included our host, our server and a manager were all very pleasant, professional, sharply dressed and very efficient. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and helped my wife and I greatly by recommending food selections that were suited to our individual tastes and we both have very different preferences.
The Chicken Wings that we ordered as an appetizer were cooked perfectly and included fresh crisp celery sticks and a house made parmesan ranch sauce, the appetizer was excellent. My wife ordered the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Prawns for an entree. It was well presented, decadent and rich in flavour. I ordered the Blackened Creole Chicken entree, which was a spicy dish that was very well suited to my tastes. The chicken breast was moist and tender topped with crispy creole seasoned skin and a dollop of creole butter. The creamy mashed potatoes that accompanied this entree were rich and creamy ... to die for!
The food selection and quality of the food items ordered were excellent and well worth the visit. The restaurant is very modern with very nice decor and comfortable seating, making for a very comfortable dining atmosphere. This restaurant is an excellent choice for a business lunch or dinner or anyone who wants a classy dining experience to celebrate a special occasion.
