    The desserts were great. The Caesar salad was overdressed and super salty - the prawns on the salad were incredibly overcooked almost inedible. The burger was good, the pasta not bad, also over salted and not much flavour other than that. The space is lovely, the menu looks creative and will try again. It could have been a bad night for the kitchen. The server was great as well.

    Food was pretty good but not outstanding. Server was very busy. Food arrived at different times for different guests. We sat outside so not too noisy but very noisy inside. They had an event happening so understandable.

    The staff here is awesome! Someone in our party had an allergy and they were very careful in accommodating. The chef even made a compliant dessert for us because the rest of the dessert menu she could not enjoy! This above and beyond service was lovely and greatly appreciated. Will certainly return to this establishment and suggest to other friends and colleagues to enjoy their food and drinks!

    We went in with good expectations, planning to have a few cocktails each. Forest fire evacuees trying to relax and recover. This did not occur. First round dropped off, food dropped off by a runner, hadn’t had time to take a bite and waitress says “does everything look good?” Watched the same waitress visit the table next to us 11 times while we ate. 4 glasses on the table completely empty. 3 empty plates on our table for 10+ minutes. Watched management walk by repeatedly. Eventually our waitress stopped by our table and days, “Oh you’re all done! Can I get you another drink?” We were hopeful that maybe they were just focused on an important party. Went… okay fine we’ll try ordering another round. I asked if I could have a moment. My drink order was never taken, spouse’s was. Spouse’s second cocktail arrived - same cocktail, half the volume as the first of the same type. Incredible concept. Food has serious potential. Worst service I’ve experienced in years.

    The share plates are fabulous. Save room for the beignet - they're soooo good. It's a pretty energetic place, so not a good choice if you're looking for a quiet, romantic evening. But the food is worth every cent and the service is great

    Great food, excellent service, was even accommodating to our late day request for a large party seating on a Saturday night that was clearly already full on reservations. I had mid expectations and this place outdid themselves on every front! The food was amazing, the service was attentive, polite, and paired by confident meal/drink recommendations, the restaurant was working to offer not just a dinner, but an overall great experience which they delivered on. I look forward to dining there again.

    Atmosphere was lively, but far too loud to have a conversation. When leaning over to your date and still having to yell to be heard over the music, it just isn't a very intimate experience. The food was good, however portions seemed small in comparison to price. The Brie was a unique and enjoyable dish, again....for the price one would expect more cheese to french fries ratio. Steak and frites was tasty, steak was cooked perfectly...just unfortunate to have to cut a 1/4 of it off due to the amount of fat. Service was good, and although an odd complaint almost too attentive. A check in once per course would have been great, however we had two check ins from our server during our appetizer and 4 during our main. 2 from our server, one from kitchen staff and one from a manager. Staff were friendly, service was fast and overall pretty tasty. Our whole experience in comparison to the value for money was just slightly anticlimactic.

    We had a lovely date night here this past weekend. I wish I could remember our server's name because she was lovely. She was very knowledgeable about the drink menu and made recommendations on her favourite cocktails and snacks. As we currently aren't drinking, we enjoyed the non-alcohol options that were available. The food items and atmosphere are very similar to some of the other Century Hospitality Group venues. We are also big fans of Rebel Food & Drink so finding this option which is closer to us is awesome. We will be sure to return and try the pizzas next time!

    A lovely spot on 104 St that I was really looking forward to visiting for the first time. The decor was lovely and inviting and the staff were fabulous and attentive. I'm not sure if we got there on an off day, so please take these comments with the caveat that this is just a point in time review. We ordered a starter, two of the same main, and dessert, as well as two cocktails. The starter, seared cauliflower florets sounded super flavourful, but tasted like simple pan fried cauliflower with a hint of salt. They were fine but I was expecting more flavour given their name of "fire and flower". The same occurred with the main, the truffle oil and brie grilled cheese. I'm not sure what my expectations were, but usually with brie you need a contrasting flavour to really bring it out otherwise it's a pretty bland (albeit lovely!) cheese. The truffle oil was an alright complement but there was no punch that a red pepper jelly or something similar might bring. As well a flavourful dipping sauce could have been helpful. My side salad was great and my friend's fries smelled heavenly though. Then came dessert. So my friend is from Calgary and she had heard about the amazing cheesecake at Birdog. We ran this past our lovely server and she concurred that it was huge and amazing, so we went for it. We received three little slabs laid out on a plate that could constitute one normal piece of cake. The icing between the layers of the cake itself was sparing, and then the cake was dry and had a faint taste of being inside a refrigerator. This did not live up to the billing and we ended up abandoning it with a layer left. I'm not sure if we got an older piece or what so I don't want to deter anyone from asking for the carrot cake. Stuff happens. I just want to be accurate in my review. None of these things were worth talking to staff about and nor would I decline to recommend people to try this restaurant because I know there are off days. This spot should live on.

    I came here twice, once by myself on a weekday and once with my wife on a weekend. I found the food to be quite innovative and surprisingly lovely (ordered a pizza, the cauliflower/flower and the beignets). The cocktail menu was not quite as innovative as other places in town (Woodwork) and was skewed towards summery drinks (lots of fizz) but each of the ones we tried were very good too. The only issue is that the waitstaff and bartenders, although friendly, seemed to be very busy all the time and were not very attentive, regardless of how many customers were in the place at the time.

    Service was great, room was lovely, and drinks were delicious. The food lacked a bit of flavour (salmon crudo and greens salad) and the lighting was a bit too dark. None of us could read our menus very well. Maybe candles on the table? The only other issue was there were customers blatantly doing cocaine at a table near us, which made it a bit awkward.

    Well. Although the waitress was really nice she forgot one thing I ordered and got the wrong pizza. I had no time so I ate it anyway it was delicious. Service was fast so great for that we were heading to the game. Maybe music slightly less loud otherwise really cool place and cool stuff on the menu. Just little minor details
