        Overall great and food was amazing, however it was a brunch buffet and I was on my second plate before being offered water or coffee, felt invisible at first but then service picked up.

        We enjoyed the happy hour menu at Yellow Bistro. We enjoyed catching up in a nice small intimate booth in the corner. Best part - your parking is included - you just get your ticket validated.

        We were 45 minutes ahead of our reservation while the restaurant was trying to open, but they welcomed our table of 6 in no problem. Everyone was very accommodating. Food and drinks were delicious.

        Visited for Sunday Brunch. Decor of restaurant was nice but dining room was loud. Service was slow and waited a long time to be greeted once sat. Brunch buffet food items were very underwhelming with mostly breakfast options. Hot food items were not hot and everything was dry. Coffee quality poor. Service staff seemed overwhelmed. Way overpriced at $36 per person and there are far better options for brunch in Calgary for less.
