Had breakfast at this place today. Food was not bad and the environment was nice. But the service was very disappointing. My wife’s breakfast arrived before mine and she had to wait for at least 5 more minutes as her breakfast got cold. After mine arrived we were not visited by anyone for a coffee refresher , water or to see if we needed anything else. There were a couple of guys across from us that received coffee top ups but the waitress never turned around to offer us the same? Had to finally go up and ask for the bill as no one was coming around. We received better service at Denny’s yesterday….. for 1/2 the price! Won’t return there for sure and still have 3 days to spend at the hotel.

I only went 2 stars instead of one as our waitress was extremely friendly. For breakfast I had the avocado toast with poached eggs, side of bacon. Let’s start with the wait time, over 30 min to get our breakfast. The avocado was essentially the bagged guac they give you at subway (if not worse) that was loaded on a piece of thick bread, was terrible. They forgot the bacon, after asking twice it showed up and it was two tiny slices for $6! Asked for hot sauce more than twice and never did get it. Was hoping for a good new breakfast spot downtown but it failed severely.

Shaheen helped us and we had some issues with the bonvoy rewards and she helped us deal with it and walked to the front desk. Made the experience a pleasant one before flying back. Awesome service.

Amazing breakfast here at this bistro. The staff was amazing, and the food was so yummy. I got to enjoy it with my beautiful girl, but I would definitely recommend the spot and will definitely be back for more :)

I booked this restaurant for my mom’s birthday. Other than food, my experience could have been better. It took a long time for our order to arrive almost an hour wait, at that time it was only my family and another person dining in. We asked our server at that time for a family picture due to the fact that it was my mother’s birthday and the only time we get together, she refused and asked us to wait. We ended up taking a picture ourselves another server with the glasses noticed and came in to take a picture for us which is a nice gesture. In the end when they found out it was my mother’s birthday they got us a cake however it left a bittersweet feeling for us. We didn’t get our server’s name but she needs more customer service/ interpersonal training which can be beneficial for the future of this restaurant. This restaurant has a lot of potential , however it lacks certain aspects that a restaurant needs to retain its customers. We felt like a second priority as a first time customer. Due to that we are unlikely to return.

Ladies group meet on a Monday night, most tables were empty. Food was okay. I had the salmon bowl, which could have used some salt and acid. It was a bit overcooked. 3* food. Drinks were tasty.Other people in the group had the cauliflower bread (4*), steak frites (4*), chicken and brie sandwich (3*), pan chicken (5*), burger novelle (4*), and short rib (5*).Overall nice place and decent food.

The service was excellent. Food was plated beautifully. All dinner meals were delicious. Great flavors. I think it's the best butter chicken I've ever had.

There are so many options for great dining downtown Calgary, this is not one of them.We had a work lunch for 7 people. The service was excruciatingly slow, the food did not come out at the same time, 2 meals were forgotten, the food itself might have been mediocre (at best) if it had still been warm by the time everyone was served, and the server spilled beet hummus on my white button up shirt while clearing the table.An underwhelming experience.

A bit hard to find. It’s in the Marriott and you need to head to the second floor. Very minimal signage, but it’s new. Short Rib was tasty and the wine list parable. Service was impeccable until the end. Had to wait for the bill, but otherwise fabulous! Thanks again
