The good-Really nice patio and service was decent. But overall, I wasn’t that impressed. Food was just ok. Very salty fondue- I think a stronger cheese would be nicer. My pasta had some nice creative elements but also seemed to have raw/uncooked dough. My sister and I shared the fondue and then ordered our own pastas- mine came out a solid 15 minutes before hers. I guess they assumed we were sharing everything- they probably should have asked because it’s awkward eating when someone else hasn’t received their food. My fork was dirty- had a chunk of old food on it. Staff quickly brought me a new one but obviously it grossed me out. It just seems like this places misses its mark on the finer details- ie paper napkins- while also presenting itself as a fancyish restaurant.

Fantastic food and service. Great ambience

Unfortunately, the food was quite bland and service wasn’t great. The seating in the covered patio was much too hot with the heaters going full blast and made it very uncomfortable.

We had a great night, thank you for making Anniversary dinner! The flavours were amazing.

Very loud table of escorts next to us speaking and behaving in a vulgar manner.. server was great very efficient.. drinks took a bit.. tartare was fine.. watermelon salad was mush (bad watermelon) not impressed for the price.

LIving Room never disappoints! From the food, to the service, the ambience and patio. One of the best spots to dine at in Calgary.

The service, food and ambiance are all amazing. It’s a great location for a girls night or date night

A Calgary institution that I need to put into our rotation more frequently. Service is human, knowledgeable and personable - genuinely entertained and taken care of. The cheese fondue and oysters were a perfect snack over a couple glasses of wine. Fun feature: I asked the server to pick a bourbon based cocktail for me, I was given a muddled blueberry sour - it was delicious, but the coolest part was it was rang in as 'dealer's choice'. They have a menu item that allows for the bartender to bring some creativity to work. I thought that was pretty dope!

Really enjoyed the cheese fondue!

Food was very good but service was very slow. One appetizer was brought out about 20 minutes before the other one. Long wait before the main courses arrived. Our two person table was beside a busy work hallway even though the restaurant wasn't full.
