    I have never noticed this restaurant before and from the outside you’re not quite sure about it but it’s very cute on the inside. Great food and even better service! The staff was very lovely and knowledgeable about everything on the menu, the food was good and the presentation was very nice. Would definitely recommend !

    The reservation offered the choice of "standard" or "solarium" but on arrival only one choice was offered and it was pretty "standard"...plastic chairs, hard benches and a room with little ambiance aside from plants. Service was great and the food was tasty. If you want the nice room with tablecloths, natural light and regular chairs, check first. Was quiet and easy parking nearby.

    Ok so here is a hidden gem! Popped in last night for a quick bite between Wordfest events and what an absolute gem. Super flavourful food, freshly made pitas, gorgeous building - our new favourite find! The people were amazing and so helpful - a snug, cozy, fires ablazing on a cold day...we'll be back soon to try more. Thx!

    Had dinner on a Thursday night. Waited 17 minutes from sitting down to get served. Had to keep asking for refills. They only had one person hosting and serving. Food was generally good especially the lamb and dips they had. The Burrata however was not good, the sesame snap they serve with it completely overwhelmed the cheese. Overall lacklustre experience.
    Park By Sidewalk CitizenResponded on October 17, 2024
    Hi Kathleen, thanks for your feedback. Sorry that you found your experience was lacklustre. We do take pride in the food we serve and our service. We love the combination of flavours and texture in the Burrata dish. If you had told the server you didn't like it, we would have gladly offered something else or not charge you for the dish. We do get busy at dinner rush and our food takes time to prepare, as good food often does. We hope that guests allow for time to enjoy their evening, and if they are in a hurry, and let our servers know, they will either try and expedite their order or inform them which dishes come out faster. Happy you enjoyed the lamb and dips. We love them too!

    We had a group of six for brunch this past Sunday, and the experience was fantastic! The restaurant itself is both beautiful and serene, setting the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed meal. From the moment we were greeted, the host was warm and welcoming, making my guests and I feel right at home. Our server was exceptional—his recommendations were spot-on, and I’ll definitely be trusting him again on future visits. I ordered the lamb arayes, and it was absolutely incredible! The seasoning was just right—not too salty—and the bread was unbelievably delicious. It’s easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. This place has officially made it into my top three spots for brunch in Calgary! My friends were equally impressed with their meals, and we all left with clean plates. The menu offers such a refreshing variety, far from the typical offerings at other restaurants. An overall amazing experience!

    Thank you so much for visiting, and for your kind words Yara! Our staff are truly dedicated to making sure you have the best experience. We hope to see you again soon- we have a new dinner menu that is amazing!
