Mmmmm, Caesar's is such a Calgary classic, you cant help but love it. From the old-school decor to the cooking stations and the service, it's always a delight to dine here.
We were a group of 8 celebrating a birthday, and were seated at a great table right in front of the cooking station. I was surprised the waiter didnt drape our napkins - not a big deal, I just would have expected that small touch from a restaurant of this caliber. Of course we had to start with the garlic cheese bread - my absolute favourite. We joked that we would be happy to eat that all night and forget about the rest. Fortunately though, we all ordered delicious meals and were very happy we did. A bunch of us went with the "Emperors Feast", which includes soup, salad, and your entree. The starters are basic, keeping it extremely simple with dressings, etc - but it was a nice filler before your meal. The rest of the group had the fish as well as the the Chateaubriand for two. I went with the filet mignon with a lobster tail on the side, and I literally devoured every bite. The steak was melt in your mouth delicious, and the lobster was cooked to perfection. I absolutely LOVE the stuffed baked potatoes, and they are generous with the toppings which was a huge plus for me.
As always, our service was impeccable. The only thing I didn't like was how far they placed the wine bucket from the two people who ordered it. We kept having to get the others at that end of the table to pass us the bottle when we wanted more, as the waiter was not observant to our empty glasses. The birthday girl got a complementary dessert, and they conveniently split the bill for all of us. Yes, it is pricey, but we knew that going in and the large portions made it money well spent.
It was a great experience and I'll definitely return for a special occasion in the future.
