| - There was an extremely unassuming entrance to this warm interior, I never would have found it or even thought to look inside had I not yelped beforehand! The food here was really good, the gai lan was crunchy and savory, the chicken juicy and well spiced, the chargrilled hanger steak yummy and smoky. Many more dishes went around and my friends seemed to like them all.
They were very flexible with our ever-changing amount of people we wanted on the reservation, thanks for that. They were also really good with suggesting dishes, how many, what we should order so things were balanced and plentiful enough to share. At the end the waitress even circled and starred the 18% gratuity that was already included in the bill to make sure we didn't double tip. Thanks, Canada.
I have an allergy to sesame, and they were great about separating out sesame-containing dishes (of which there were a few) and telling me what I could eat and what I couldn't.
The only thing that would keep me from returning was that the music was a bit loud and intrusive, pulsing-bass electronic dance music kind of stuff that seemed incongruous with this classy and elegant menu.
Nice and geeky wine list (Rotgipfler, hello? Sparkling wine from the Jura??) and local beers. I will definitely come back here my next time in Calgary, but I'll consider wearing earplugs.
