Wow, what a fabulous restaurant! The room itself is quite lovely, although the front part is a little awkward. I love the large artwork of Calgary cityscape's and the wood totally rocks! If I wasn't there for a family dinner I most definitely wood have sat up at the wood for dinner. The service is phenomenal, from the hostess to our insane rock star of a waitress to the chef coming out to explain each dish, I was blown away!
We had an amazing dinner; the menu is small but packed with interesting, exciting plates packed with flavour! The high point was most definitely the civiche - hands down the best civiche I have ever had. Instead of being a chopped style, it was more like a stacked canape. Mmmm, delicious! One thing that I will warn, the protein portions are very large. Much bigger then I think they ought to be. We ordered only 2 entrees between the 4 of us so that we would have room for dessert; we couldn't even finish the wild boar dish. Just too big and thus sadly, no dessert.
If you are looking for a place to go for an excellent meal, put Downtown Food at the top of your list.
