What to Order
Calamari Fricassee
This isn't your average fried calamari; it's a rich and creamy dish with a bright lemon finish that balances the richness.
"The calamari was next level and I don’t think I’ll be able to eat calamari anywhere else as this was probably the best I’ve ever had - rich and creamy but the lemon really cut the richness adding freshness. I wanted to lick the bowl but reluctantly refrained."

Sweet Potato Bread with Whipped Butter
A standout starter, this bread is often praised for its delicious flavor and perfect pairing with whipped butter.
"The food and drinks were awesome. The atmosphere was also super nice as it wasn’t too loud and they had good music playing. Our server, Sheena, was great. We will definitely be back for the sweet potato bread."
Michelle Musson
Beef Tartare
A flavorful and well-balanced tartare, served with lavosh or lettuce cups, showcasing excellent seasoning.
"The tartare with lavosh was so flavourful, the paste aldente, the pork well seasoned, fish skin crisp and the cheddar cheese apple pie never disappoints."
Richard Lee-Ying
Tomato Spaghetti
A comforting and flavorful pasta dish that many wish they could recreate at home.
"Would also strongly recommend the tomato spaghetti which I wish I could recreate at home as I’d eat it every day."
Bailey P
Model Milk Apple Pie with Cheddar Crust
A unique and highly praised dessert, featuring a delicious cheddar crust that perfectly balances sweet and savory.
"The apple pie with the cheddar crust was a standout; absolutely delicious with the perfect balance of savory and sweet. My husband isn’t usually an apple pie fan, but even he loved it."
Nicole Aburto
Burger
Surprisingly delicious, this burger has been called the "best burger ever eaten" by some diners.
"Service was excellent, and that was the best burger I've ever eaten in my life. Next time we're in Calgary, we'll be back!"
