    The decor is super cute and really liked to calm vibe. The food was pretty good, though a little on the expensive side. We didn't really like all of the cheese on the charred cabbage, but the full breakfast was good!

    First time at Pigeonhole on the recommendation of a friend. Excellent service and inspired food choices, especially enjoyed the mushroom croquettes and the beef tartare. Cocktails were delicious! Definitely visit again.

    This was my first time dining here and I will definitely return. The service was top notch, with our server giving us awesome recommendations on wine and food. Each dish was better than the last. Try the Steak Frites, Charred Cabbage and their rubarb dessert.

    Some food was excellent, some food was just…fine. For the price I would have expected it to be more consistently on the tastier end. Cocktails and service were superb though. The charred cabbage was a must-have.

    LOUD! Good luck having a conversation with anyone in this place without having to yell. My voice is hoarse today. Why on earth they insist on cranking the music that loud is beyond me. LOUD isn’t cool. Seriously, this place is detrimental to your hearing.

    It was an amazing experience, from the friendly and welcoming service, to the wonderful atmosphere. Our server was amazing at giving us some recommendations for each dish. Also a big thank you for the complimentary drinks / dessert! Thank you Clint. This was also our first time trying caviar, which was pretty sweet. 10/10 recommend! And definitely will be coming back again.

    The service was wonderful! I’m vegetarian and food that the options were mediocre compared to some other Calgary spots. Drinks were great and i’d love to go back and try some more! I’ve had the brunch a few years back and it was some of the best brunch I’ve had in Calgary.

    We had an amazing meal for 4 people. We opted for family style dining so we all had a total of 8 dishes and the food was outstanding. Justin was our server and one of the best we’ve ever had. His timing was impeccable and he was a pleasure. The ONLY negative is the music being played way too loud. It got even louder at a certain point in the evening. This is the only thing that would prevent us from going back as it made it difficult to converse.

    A tasty meal, service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere was great (music was a little loud at times but that may have been the song being played). Attended as part of YYC food and drink expo but will be coming back to partake of the regular menu.
