| - Went there for my birthday, Nov 28 2013. First of all, it was dark, snowy and cold, walking to the island. There were no signs that we could find (as newbies to Calgary we didn't really know where we were going) so we had to ask someone else who was walking and followed them, and the footbridge across the water was pitch black. If I was on my own I may not have crossed - seriously unsafe.
The restaurant is very cute - nice ambiance - I'd love to go there in the summer and sit outside on the patio for a light lunch.
As for my birthday dinner, I got the 'special' which was some kind of game meat, I think elk. My review here is not specific, as it's been a while... but rather, it is to review the general feeling we had. It was very expensive, at $45-50 for each of our entrees, and we picked the cheapest bottle of wine which was still around $40. We're used to paying decent money for good food, but we were both a little disappointed in our meals... they were good, but not amazing, and the servings were small. Tiny little potatoes and a tiny amount of veggies. We had to eat two baskets of bread to get full. They brought me a nice dessert on the house with a sparkler in it for my birthday.
We did have a nice experience, but we won't go back for a fancy dinner as it was too much money for what it was (especially with the wine). We will however go back for a summer lunch and enjoy the view.
