| - Passionate about his food.
That's how I would describe Swandri, the chef and owner of the Rock.
Looking for "something" a little different for dinner, I did a quick search on Yelp and came up with this little gem.
If it wasn't for the couple of mentions that the decor left something to be desired, I may not have gone, because the place is small and out of the way, not to mention a little mom and pop diner meets dingy cafe sort of place.
But please DO NOT let this put you off!
One day you will see this guy on Iron Chef or something on TV, his food is that good, and he is heading up to much bigger things. One day you will see him owning the best restaurant in Calgary.
When you walk in and sit down, you will see right away, the way he presents his specials and talks about his food, this guy has class and passion about what he does.
The newspaper clippings on the door show he's won several awards and recognitions. Others have said now i am, Trust me the food is worth it! Go!
We lucked out and had a night where he made a beef wellington, it was awesome! The meal and the presentation looked as if it would have been at home at some snooty 5 star high end restaurant, and yet it was only 24.00 well worth it it my books.
We had a little tiramisu for dessert and I think it's the best I ever had!
I hope to return soon! This place totally rocks!
