First off - Great décor and ambience. Reasonably nice and happy staff and a good Caesar salad (I would hope). Really enjoyed the evening up to the food.
After an hour, the appetizers came and we received about half of what most good restaurants would serve in Calgary. $9 brussel sprouts to share? If you don't mind sharing 5. It was almost comical. The atmosphere was well overshadowed by the incredibly slow service and mediocrity of the food.
Oh yeah, thanks for the food poisoning! Loved the night over the toilet. Calgary has so many, many great establishments that I feel robbed of an evening. Perhaps I got my wish to loose a few pounds in the New Year.
Black Pig is most similar to Charcut, yet so horribly misses the mark. Pick Charcut and avoid the Pig.
P.S. Look at all the fancy pictures below. Nice little (and I mean little) dishes - each $15 to $30 a pop. Guess who is paying for the renovation bill. Seriously??
