Orin Swift Papillon$210.00
Notes of ripe black cherry, anise, dark chocolate and charred meat. The entry is immense with flavors of bright raspberries and fresh cherries, then it changes to a mid-palate of amaretto, sandalwood and forest notes

We were traveling on business. The dining room was a nice open courtyard with great overhead skylight. The food was very good. The service was a little slow even though we were there for early dining. We were very happy with our evening meal and the service.

Food - Double Cut Pork Chop was great as were the Lamb Balls. The Grilled Romaine was passable. They fell down on the BC Mussels. I have never been served unopened mussels before but this time I got 3 out of about 20 (more than 10%). At the end, we weren't even offered dessert. Drink - The drinks were great but the prices charged didn't bear any resemblance to the menu we were given. We actually save a dollar or two there. Wine pricing was very puzzling. The bound menu book priced our wine at $52. The paper menu showed $142 for the same wine. What a difference!! When the waiter was asked about it, she told us $142 was correct but would check. We were given the wine for $52. I suspect the paper menu was printed incorectly and the price was supposed to be $42. Oh well. I have been taken for $10 before - no big deal. Service - The Hostess had the reservation and congratulated us on celebrating our anniversary. She then proceeded to usher us into the bar for our table. It was very loud and not at all romantic. When I think of our waiter, "deer in the headlights" come to mind. I will chalk it up to inexperience. We order the Grilled Romaine to share "followed by" two more appetizers. They all came together and we had a lot of trouble fitting them all on a smaller bar two top. When that was cleared away, we waited about 20 minutes for our mains to be served. After finishing, we waited a further 20 minutes for our table to be cleared. At this time we were handed the bill (she didn't want us to have desert I guess). I tipped overgenerously based on the service we received Overall, a sad ending to a very special anniversary.

Waiter was not very happy or helpful. Took my son and his friend there to celebrate their grade 9 graduation so we were all dressed up and excited for this dinner out downtown. We tried to now let his rudeness ruin our evening. Will pick another restaurant next time who would be happy to help us celebrate.

The food was incredibly underwhelming. One shrimp tail is $20 and is supposed to be an appetizer to share? The Cobb salad looked like what would be given to a rabbit and the presentation was weak. The server was very inexperienced, which for a restaurant of this caliber, she should have been trained better before putting her out on the floor. This was my first time and unfortunately my last.

Great food. Terrible service. Took most of one hour to get served a table of four on a quiet midweek evening. Server was evasive and basically abandoned us as customers. We had to get the attention of another server to get ANY service. 2nd server blamed the first, first showed up to attend to us only when we were paying the bill. They recognized we had been very poorly treated and offered up a couple of comp. desserts. That was the final insult as they arrived ANOTHER fifteen minutes later! Not in a hurry to go back; for the price better service is expected.

Our experience was amazing right off the bat. The hostess was friendly and found our reservation with ease. Our server was professional, friendly, and made great recommendations, we’re so glad we listened. The feature cocktail was delicious, that loaf of bread was crispy outside, fluffy inside, with the right amount of olive oil and flaky salt, I definitely went home dreaming about it. We also had chowder which was perfection, our mains came out beautiful and tasty. We were left satiated and happy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends and family.

I was with three friends and we were there to enjoy a drink and some appetizers before going to the theatre. Trying to choose items that suit four different preferences was a little tricky. I enjoyed most of the items chosen and we certainly felt like we had more than enough food...but next time I will have to choose people to go with who like the same things as I do...haha.

A must when visiting Calgary. A friend back home told us about Murrieta's and insisted we go there and we will now take up the torch for future visitors. The food was wonderful and our server (Callen, I think) was fantastic, adding a real touch of fun for the evening. Our last night on this Canada vacation could not have been better.

Overall very lovely restaurant. Love the old building and how it was converted. The servers were friendly but it did take a long time to get served even with water. Seemed like they were confused with who was serving our table. The main courses took over an hour and we had to rush out to make it to a concert.
