| - Went there tonight for the first time - moving to Bragg Creek has meant it's been harder to get out with dogs waiting at home.
Showed up at just before six, there was room. They don't take reservations for parties less than 8.
Decor: sadly, it's standard Calgary "new restaurant" style. Failing in the same way Vancouver did a few years back with all their "west coast" design. There are TV's.....which take this place from "could've been a decent bistro" to pub category.
Staff: again, sadly, jeans & t-shirts. I really wish there was somewhere to go in Calgary that made people feel like dressing up a bit and having a "pretty" night out. Kind of getting uber disappointed with the jeans thing. Clothing is expression, as much as food is....I wish some type of something was initiated by new restaurants.
Food: Fast, hot, creative. Had the braised cauliflower with curry oil, mushrooms, ratatouille & calamari. All done well but a bit salty all around. The veggie ratatouille was uber salty - reported to the kitchen. In-house flatbread was great.
Drinks: millstreet organic beer, old fashioned. The beer was on draft & good, the old fashioned's were mixed well. A bit too much ice and a ilttle shy of bourbon however, tasty.
It all came out to around $70 before taxes & tip. Pretty fair pricing considering the diggs.
Not sure we will go back however, would recommend people try it out for themselves.
Good to see new businesses, just wish they would try a little harder in thinking outside the box for actual facility design.
