   The restaurant gave the impression of a high class churn and burn restaurant with only a focus on the financial bottom line. My wife and I booked 2-3 weeks in advance and arrived excited after a long flight into Calgary. Being originally from the UK and Ireland we were excited to try it out. Upon arriving at the restaurant 15 minutes before our 6:30pm reservation the first thing we were reminded of was a 2 hour seating time and that it was recommended to check our coats as it could get crowded at the tables. This was fine and it was nice to disregard our heavy coats, although suspicious about the crowding. After ordering our multi-course experience of food and wine we were suddenly confronted at 7:15pm, just 45mins after our reservation start time, and told that seating is limited and we had to finish as there was a 7:30pm reservation for our table. Suddenly the theme of the restaurant came clear.......quick in and quick out! After objecting about the situation it became evident our server was miss told and managment had marshalled her to deal with the situation without any support. After continued objecting to the server our dinner become more of a chore than a pleasure and we asked for the remainder to be packed up to go, paid the bill and left the restaurant. The irony is that managment, who were nowhere to be seen, got their 7:30pm table, their added revenue and a paid bill. Safe to say I do not recommend this for anyone visiting from outside Calgary.

   The atmosphere was awesome, the service and the food were great! The rigatoni lamb ragu was epic. The foccacia appetizer was amazing! The only thing I would say is the steak dish was not worth $70. It was good but not $70 good. We will be back to try different items!

   Incredible service, ambience, and overall experience. Especially enjoyed our time at Charlie’s watch, repair, fantastic cocktails, and even better company.

    Had a nice experience at Salt & Brick. (2nd time here). Food tasted great, server was attentive, restaurant was full but was not noisy which was nice.
