    The food was fantastic. Handmade pasta and homemade French onion soup were delicious. The service was great and the staff were welcoming. We sat on the patio with a nice view of the mountains.

    The location is nice, but the chairs are more suited for lounging in the sun during happy hour… not for dinner. They need to restock on their wine, five times the waitress came back saying they didn’t have the options we selected… the food was too salty or pizza undercooked. Sorry to leave a poor review, but after reading all the great ones, we were disappointed. Too bad because the location is charming.

    I chose the market bistro because I hadn’t been there before and it was close to where a friend lives. It was far away from the busyness of downtown. The vegetable lasagna was fantastic. Good beer selection ,4 PM was perfect timing and great service. I loved the patio.

    We had a great experience at the restaurant. Sadly, had to move outside due to very noisy large table that preceded and stayed beyond the time we spent at the meal. Maybe put the noisy family groups with small children outside?

    We enjoyed our dinner sitting on the patio. Easy to make a reservation. A basket of bread would be a welcoming start given the costs of the meals and entrees.

    Beautiful setting! The patio is our new favourite spot in the mountains. We have been here for lunch several times. Today I had the feature dish linguine vongole with clams, fresh pasta and pancetta. It was so delicious. I am craving it now that I’m back in Calgary. The meatballs are always our favourite. Other people in our party enjoyed their meals too. Friendly service from our waitress with the Spanish accent. We will be back soon.
