| - I think Stephen Ave is one of Calgary's best looking streets, with its character old sandstone buildings and eclectic mix of outstanding shops and art galleries and restaurants - and lucky for us - the "home" of the Home Tasting Room.
Being charged with the task of making a reservation for family to celebrate my mom's birthday last Saturday, on a whim I made a reservation at Home Tasting Room. The restaurant has been on my list of places to try for a while now, and after an amazing meal, I'm wishing I would have visited sooner!
As we were a table of 9, we decided that it would be better to order our own starters and entrees from the menu rather than ordering off the Sharing Plates menu. Everyone in our party was extremely satisfied with their meal, complimenting my choice in restaurant. My brother-in-law even commented that this may be his new favourite restaurant! So the food here was certainly a hit.
The only factor taking this restaurant from a 5 star to a 4 star in my opinion was the wine list. We had noted on the website that HTR boasts a wine selection of over 50 wonderful wines, we were a little disappointed in the selection available. As we were out for a special celebration, we were looking for a nice bottle of wine. Unfortunately our first choice was almost sold out (they had only 1 bottle remaining, and for 9 people that just won't cut it!). Not being a crowd to turn down wine, we found a nice replacement, but it just wasn't the selection we were hoping for.
If you don't already have a "Calgary Restaurants to try" list started in your phone, I highly recommend you start a list and get this one on it.
