   Great meal! The scallop crudo is so flavourful and one of my favourite appetizers in downtown Calgary restaurants.

   Had a few drinks and ordered almost everything from the menu during happy hour! High value. Nice vibe, ideal for having conversations. The waitress was great, very welcoming, nice, great smiles. I like the hot dog, the shrimps and the scallops! Earl Grey martini 🍸 was so delish!

   Place is decent, 17th location is much better. Only one bathroom in the whole place and service was abysmal. Food was good, however not as good as 17th Ave location. The main issue we had was service. Our waiter was incredibly annoying, coming by way too often, trying to be funny (he was not) and make quirky remarks, over explaining our plates to the point we asked him to stop.

   Absolutely love pigeonhole! This was our first time at the downtown location and it was 10/10, would highly recommend!! The endive salad is a dish that I wish was never ending, and the apple mille feuille was incredible. I know I will be dreaming of these dishes forever. 😍

   I recently had lunch at Pigeonhole Downtown with a few friends. Overall, the experience was okay—not bad, but not particularly memorable either. The food was decent, with a few creative touches here and there, and the service was friendly and professional. The ambiance is stylish and relaxed, which made for a comfortable setting to catch up with friends. That said, we all felt the prices were a bit on the higher side considering the portion sizes and overall experience. While I understand that quality ingredients and a nice atmosphere can come at a premium, I’m not sure the value quite matched the cost. It’s not a place I’d rush back to, but if you’re looking to try something different and don’t mind spending a little more, it might be worth checking out.
