| - 6 out of ten at the very best. Certainly a disappointment.
Met a friend early in the evening for wine and dinner. I don't go out a lot, so ate very little (saving my appetite!) anticipating a great meal.
We ordered a bottle of wine (which does not come in a bottle by the way, because it's the house wine? Really, did they tap a keg? Not informed in advance. Not cool.) and I ordered a 7 oz steak ($25) with mushrooms (extra$5) and garlic toast (extra$5). I ordered my steak medium.
My steak was charred (seriously charred black) and well done (ugh) around the edges, barely pink in the middle. Mushrooms were hot. Garlic toast good. It comes with (apparently) cold mashed potatoes and some melange of beets with squash (I think) and apples slices ( really, that's a vegetable now?) served over some intolerable white creamy substance that was completely unappetizing, not detailed and certainly not desired.
I was so hungry and do not want to inconvenience my friend, so I ate it, but the steak was dry and unenjoyable. I mentioned all of this to the waitress and was very polite about it, but I was obviously disappointed. So you'd think she'd maybe have offered a dessert or something, but nope. No effort to try and make amends.
All I can say is, I'll not be dining there again. Ever. And I urge you to find somewhere else if you want a nice meal. There are plenty of good places to eat in Calgary. This isn't one of them.
