  • Title this review "A Fall From Grace". I've got to tell you, I tried really hard to make this review as positive as possible because I want to encourage this type of restaurant in Calgary - but I just couldn't do it. I ate there a few weeks ago, but have been travelling so just got around to reviewing it now. As I understand it, when this restaurant opened a few years ago, it was actually known to be really good. Whatever has changed (and it may be related to the fact that it has split off for unknown reasons from its founding restaurant group - but I have an idea why that happened...) - it's not good. This is expensive, overpriced, "hipster diner" food. The food could only be described as "forced" hipster/trendy - i.e. adding sriracha sauce in odd places, and giving dishes "too cool for you" names (e.g. "Fat Kid Cake"). I know that they're aiming for this "funky home cooking" style - but it just wasn't what you expected at this price point. When pretty much all entrees are north of $35, and appetizers over $15, you deserve to be wowed. The calamari fricassee was like a home economics project - some ingredients were underseasoned, some were overseasoned. The elk tartare hadn't been pounded or ground finely enough - was hard to swallow. Fried chicken was good enough - but really, it's fried chicken, where can you go with that - although it did come with the showstopper, which was these "waffles" they were served with. Desserts hardly got touched at our table - had the fat kid cake but it was an abomination - full stop. If Calgary diners let restaurants like this get away with charging so much for meh food, it affects us all. At prices like this, there are far superior places to spend your hard earned dough - go to Notable or Blink, for example, where they are doing it right. On the other hand, service was very professional and attentive - 5 stars for that. Kitchen (which is what restaurants are supposed to be about) gets 2 stars. If planning to go there, save yourself the disappointment and heartburn and go somewhere else.
