A recent visit to Vin Room West was disappointing: very expensive but tiny portions of good food, with less than mediocre service.
The dishes (tapas) are tasty without exception. The kitchen executes well. But the portions are tiny and pretentious. You can do better in many places in Calgary. The nachos with crab were tasty, as were the gnocchi.
What was startling was the service. Only two tables were occupied and we had to wait for service. The strangest was to have to wait for wine service - it's called Vin Room. Wine prices: very high.
I remember going to the original location in 4th street when it opened. And being unimpressed.
So decent food, below-par service and super expensive: doesn't sound like a winning combination.
