A weekend of eating expired when I went with fellow Eliter's Rita W, Al C, as well as Rita's partner, Ian since this was Rita's idea (I am trying to remember where she heard about it).
Small place, seats 20-30 people. What another reviewer said about the windows needing blinds is true for sure (especially on the 320+ days of sun that we get in Calgary).
Open kitchen, fresh food, local, organic, home-made ketchup, non-GMO vegetables, no Coke or Pepsi products (only the Boylan's cane sugar soda's). They have wine though I did not partake in it's tasting just yet; I forgot to see if they have beers or hard liquor.
Okay, let's get to the food. Upon reading the other 2 reviews and some reviews via Facebook, I opted for the Bento+ had the following:
1 Sky High slider with local grass-fed beef, pork belly, sharp cheddar, each with a unique aioli
1 small portion of red slaw with nappa cabbage, shaved carrots, daikon radish, toasted cashew nuts, beets, cilantro sesame dressing
1 order of french fries or maybe it was the farm fries
4 pieces of their take on the California Roll called Cali Beach (with snow crab, ahi tuna, ocean wise salmon, avocado, pickled beets, pea shoots, wasabi tobiko, crisp ginger; stand alone version is $14 but not sure how many pieces that is)
More from the menu can be found here: http://nubsb.com/menu
My next Bento+ will be with Russian Roulette (Pacific shrimp tempura, jalapeño-infused cream cheese, cucumber, wasabi tobiko. Served with a shot of sake) or maybe just the roll itself.
We had a great server whose name I forgot despite the fact she kept our drinks (mostly water) from ever going dry. She followed on the quality of the good and made small talk telling us trivial bits about the restaurant.
I have not tried the Burgushi yet or other parts of the menu. Hopefully, Rita W will write of her earth burger experience.
I will definitely be back here. It's only 2.5 blocks from 10th St NW, Memorial Dr. and Kensington if you are walking across the bridge from the Memorial Park.
There is parking in the area that doesn't seem to be too bad depending on time of day.
Trivial: this is only the 3rd restaurant I've ever been to that did not have Coke or Pepsi products; the other 2 being burger joints in Austin.
Note: this would be a nice place to take a date and it's not overtly expensive (I said date, not trick) and maybe more than a t-shirt would be best.
