A personal Calgary favourite. Their food is always delicious and they have some the friendliest staff. We usually dine in (which is great because their tables are really spacious and well laid-out) but we dined on their dog friendly patio for the first time and it was great. They have tall wood fences surrounding the outdoor seating area, which makes you feel less like you’re eating on the sidewalk.

We stopped in for a quick late afternoon veggie lunch. The place has a clean, open, all glass look to it. The music is inviting and the vibe is chill. Great for people watching too. On to the food!!! We went for a happy hour deep fried cauliflower slider, brussels sprouts and carrot cake. I’m savory and my wife is sweet (she may be reading this). The sprouts were massive and nicely seasoned, crisp and well presented, my slider was crunchy, but of heat and the bun was soft with a bit of toasty goodness. The carrot cake was a clear winner with layers and a picture perfect presentation. A great spot that is central, has great service and a ton of vegetarian options. Give it a shot and leave happy!

What a beautiful spot! First visit and they absolutely killed it. The beef tartare was phenomenal, different than others I've had (I've had a lot!), the pickled Saskatoon berries were a really welcome addition as opposed to pickles. My wife had the perogies, and I had the fried chicken sandwich, both were absolute killers. The perogies had a great filling and that sauce.... Wowzas. The friend chicken was light and crispy and perfectly seasoned and the brioche sesame bun was absolutely perfect. The fries were well seasoned and lightly crisped, and the mayo (I think it's Kewpie?) went perfect with them. We had to have dessert, so we tried the rice pudding and it was the ideal end to a great meal. Not too sweet, but rich and velvety and the mushroom ice cream (trust me it's good) was a perfect accompaniment to the brittle and pudding. All the textures were absolutely on point. Our server was an absolute gem, made great suggestions and was just really pleasant and attentive. We had a minor (and I mean minor) issue, and it was promptly dealt with by the manager. The kind of service you wish every place had. The restaurant itself is a stunning modern place with tons of windows and natural light, a fantastic place to just unwind and relax. We'll be back!

Came here for dinner and it didn't disappoint. Share plates style food. My favourite has to be the beef tartare, paired with the berries and the chips it was especially unique.

We visited today for brunch. We had never been before and were very excited about the experience. Our server, Danielle and manager Jeff were awesome. Danielle was friendly and knowledgeable and helped us with the menu. We enjoyed the brunch food options. They were so flavourful and delicious. The vibe is relaxed and energetic and we didn’t feel like there was a particular dress code, which was nice. We can’t wait to come back with friends. Thanks so much for the wonderful time.

Been here twice now. Food is excellent, service is even better. Not sure why it isn't busier! My partner and I love visiting. I've had both the fried chicken & french toast as well as the latke eggs benedict! Blackberry spritz is great too.

Absolutely amazing place. Went there right after I proposed to my girlfriend for a celebration bottle of wine and some eats. They brought us out complimentary champagne, congratulated us a bunch and were amazing vibes to be around. Could not be happier about the atmosphere or the food. Thank you Donna Mac for sharing our special moment with us.

On top of the food and drinks being delicious - the owner went above and beyond for a couple that wanted to take engagement photos at their favourite date night restaurant. Jeff and everyone there were very accommodating and we had so much fun!
