Been here a while back and just recently went here to have the familiar taste again. Went with my folks and we definitely enjoyed our dine here. We liked the gnocchi, lamb chops, and braised short ribs. The nan bread and hummus are amazing too! They did great with our orders, they were delivered quickly to our tables too. With nice and friendly servers, they did a great job with everything.
I haven't been to this spot in years and it did not disappoint!! Love the atmosphere with the pink blossom trees.Now to the food, ordered the gnocchi and tempura chili prawns to start. Both were fantastic! The mains ordered were the artic char and braised beef short rib, really happy with both. Dessert, shared the milk chocolate cheese cake and it was incredible!!! I'd go back just for that, it's so smooth and rich...one of the best desserts I've had in a long time.
Was very excited to come here based on other reviews, but the food wasn't good, pork was chewy and the truffle gnocchi tasted like mushy potatoes. Waitress was having a bad day too.If this is the best Calgary has to offer I'd rather eat at home.
I visited Alloy for the first time today because I am considering hosting a private event there in the fall and I wanted to experience the place before committing. All I can say is wow! The entire experience was phenomenal but the quality of the food and exceptional service really stood out. I ordered the salmon and it was perfect! I will be confirming this venue for my private event and can not wait to share this gem with our guests. I highly recommend Alloy!
What a challenge. Appy small but tasty ginger beef tartare, main enchilada inedible, couldn't cut it with a knife, tiramisu exceptional. Service slow and dour.
The ginger beef appy was very good. The enchilada inedible couldn't cut it with a knife sawing at it. Tiramisu was excellent. Service slow and seemed dour.
Consistently great food and ambiance.A great birthday or any excuse to dine out experience.Our server was new to Alloy, she was just the right amount of attentive and customer service driven.Truffle gnocchi and Shrimp tempura open up the appetite and are a regular starter item on menu.Pacific Red Snapper and Lamb Chops with rosemary & mustard sautéed onion cream sauce were both delicious to enjoy as main course meals.We passed on dessert.
Yes, would recommend, but VERY noisy, making it easy to enjoy the food but hard to talk while doing that.
Called ahead to make sure we got a pretty table (white semi circle with her favourite cherry blossom trees in background) as it was my friends 50th bday. Guy on the phone was rude and short and didn’t commit to saying this would be ok. When we arrived we were sat across from the washroom in the back room. Killed the mood a bit as we came from very pretty cocktail places. Our sever was great and very good and wine knowledgeable. As we were leaving we asked another server to take our pic with the cherry blossoms in the background. She was very grumpy and short with us, and made us feel very uncomfortable, made for a very awkward picture. Food was really really good. But I will not be going back to celebrate any special occasions or recommending this as a celebratory space for my friends.
Very good food, lamb and steak. I did find the lamb a little (very little) tough but flavourful. Really enjoyed the Truffle Gnocchi and service was excellent. This is a $$$$ location with food and drink to match. Did find it quite loud (other patrons talking) and at times hard to have a conversation.
