We eat out a lot and your restaurant is consistently .. hands-down, our favourite food in the city. Love the ambiance and the open kitchen! Our server was top shelf! We had a fantastic time, … it was my husband’s birthday and we were able to get the bill/pay & head over to the flames game without being late! Thank you!!

Excellent service and beautiful atmosphere! Our server was friendly and gave great advice on the menu items. The food we ended up ordering was good but not spectacular. I think we may have just picked some of the wrong items. We enjoyed the eggplant fries and the carrots. Overall it was a great experience and we will be returning.

Had a great date night at Bridgette Bar in Calgary. We were seated quickly, our server was very knowledgeable and the mood in the room was amazing! Every section would have been a good seat. The food selection was perfect and we both found items we loved. The bar menu was perfect - lots of great local beer on tap without the crazy price gauge that sometimes comes from upscale restaurants. Will be back for sure!

Burrata w honey - seemed like they forgot the honey; cauliflower tasted very fishy - we didn't eat much. Beet salad was very god. Endive salad not as good as it was w walnuts and blueberries. Eggplant fries - not sure if they forgot the salt or some herbs - it was good but not great. Mile hi banana cream pie saved the day as always! Love the sharing plates.

Dinner was delicious but the service was nothing special. Considering we were a group of 8 with automatic 20% gratuity coming, I expected our server to be a little more attentive. I have had much better and attentive service with a smaller group and our added gratuity.

First waiter took a long time to come serve us and waited at least 15 minutes for a straw. The second waiter was faster and check on us more. We asked for the items we were waiting for and received them quicker.

Overall a great experience, cheese ball appy was just ok, ricotta cheese dumplings were delish, duck plate was very good. Disappointed that the duck and dumpling were served at separate times since they were both our main dishes. Service was good but a big slow, there were several large groups there, i felt they took priority over our table of 2. Oh well, still a great d ate night.

Poor service - very slow Food was tasteless - Eggplant Fries were so bland and Garlic Toast was inedible. We were told halfway through our happy hour reservation that we only had the table for two hours. That should’ve been made clear to us as soon as we sat down or made very obvious when you make the reservation.

Very speedy service as we were in a rush to go to the flames game! Cauliflower was delicious!! Server got our food in right away and drinks came fast. However, it was difficult to decipher who our server really was as so many people came to our table, and for a tappas concept restaurant the tables were quite small to have even 3 dishes on.
