| - I heard about this place from a friend, and ducked in one afternoon for lunch when I was in the area. I sat in the warm, open, lovely back room and had a modest lunch: a delicious rotisserie chicken sandwich (with a not-too-sweet BBQish sauce), and a fabulous kale salad. The kale was not the huge tough kale you find in supermarkets, but colorful (some rosy pink and bright purple in there!) and pretty tender. It was dressed with some lemon, bread crumbs, and sharp nutty cheese shavings. On the wall/chalkboard were local farms' names where they source some ingredients. Two guys in funky bandanas were slicing meats behind the counter and preparing for that night's dinner, it seemed.
It was a slow afternoon, and the staff was exceedingly friendly. Not just my waitress, but a smiley guy setting up chairs and napkins came by to say hi (It was very nice to meet you too, Carlos) and ask if it was my first time, where I was from, etc. etc.
Great little spot, I'd happily return - especially at night, when I can imbibe - next time I'm visiting Calgary!
