This is a hidden gem. Lovely food - everything was just sooooo good. Sharing plates made for a fun evening. We had a vegetarian and a coeliac in our group and both were well catered for. Our server was really helpful advising us on each dish and how may we should order. Ceiling of the restaurant is on its own worth the visit! We will be back when weather warms up and we can sit out side.

Second time here in a month. Always a bit scary to retry a favorite. Will it be as good? The answer is a big YES! This restaurant puts so much love and effort in every detail. Every bit and taste is a wow. Wonderful staff. So relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent brunch menu and the food was great from the main to the dessert. Service was prompt and friendly and I love the interior - warm, sunny and architecturally unusual.

The restaurant was good, but nothing crazy life changing. Recommend the tuna crudo and the burrata (if you are down to try a not so traditional one)!

Ruslan was very welcoming and informative. We ordered everything he suggested and were very pleased with everything we tasted. Our faves were the lamb tartar, duck breast and romesco. Absolutely will be back.

All around an excellent dining experience! Quiet table by the fire on a cold night. Every dish was perfectly prepared, the duck breast and lamb ribs are standouts for sure! Service was quick, friendly, very knowledgeable and clearly loved the food there as well! This was one of the best meals I’ve had in Calgary. Will be back.
