Located inside Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Calgary. Stylish modern decor with clean and cozy dinning space. Service was super friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious and well presented. Will definitely come back and highly recommended!

We decided to try their Sunday brunch buffet for a special occasion event and they did not disappoint! As they're part of the Hyatt Hotel they had beautiful Christmas decor which made the place look really nice. We received friendly service through the entire meal, although they forgot our drinks orders a few times and couldn't be found for a long time at one point. Their selection of food was excellent, with clear labels in front stating allergens or lack of. I actually found many items were gluten and dairy free, which is great for those with intolerances. They also constantly replaced empty plates/trays so there was always freshly prepped food out. They had the usual breakfast items like scrambled eggs, omelettes made to order, sausages etc, and they also have eggs benedict's made to order, followed by a carvery station featuring med rare striploin roast, seafood like jumbo shrimp and Atlantic smoked salmon, then the charcuterie board with lots of pickled items, cured meats and cheeses. The highlight dishes for me were definitely the plump jumbo shrimp and the tender smoked salmon- the salmon tasted like it was made in house, it was far better than any store bought one I've ever had! For hot foods they had corn chowder which was delicious and creamy, variety of vegetable dishes, fish and more. Their desserts selection was smaller but still a good variety. I loved their mini tres leches pots. The price was 45/pp which is on the higher side for a lunch/brunch buffet but the quality and variety of food was excellent so it was worth it for us! I can't wait to go back for another celebratory meal!

My wife and I were out for a walk and she got cold so we looked for a place to stop in and warm up. What a treat it was to randomly pick this place. Their drink menu had so many fun and unique drinks that we intentionally came back the next night for drinks before our dinner reservation. We tried a couple appetizers here as they sounded so good on the menu and we were not disappointed. The presentation is next level and the food taste even better than it look. On top of this the atmosphere is cozy. The staff are all super friendly. And the seating is comfortable enough that if you wanted to spend hours here trying many different drinks you could do so with ease. We have already made plans to come here for a full meal experience on our next date night.

We stayed at the Hyatt so I had breakfast at the restaurant every morning of our stay, as well as some drinks and an appetizer throughout the days we were there. The service was always fantastic, the food was delicious (especially the breakfast poutine) and I love that your always offered a coffee to go. There was one server in particular who’s name I wish I got, she was not my server the day I came back in, but she came up to me anyway since she had been my server the day prior, and asked me follow up questions about the plans I had for that day. She also gave us recommendations on some really cool breweries and even gave us a map with a list and directions.

This place was fabulous because they had Nick and Izzy as employees. We ordered bison short rib they came on a bed, caramelize mushroom with a crisp, polenta wedge and eggplant suckertash. The location is off fun lively busy street in downtown Calgary and an adjacent to the Hyatt hotel. Loved this restaurant I WOULD RECOMMEND

I love that place! Unfortunately not many people visit it. Maybe for somebody who likes privacy it would be a big plus Food is delicious, service is wonderful, prices aren’t high for that class of a restaurant. Cosy atmosphere, comfy chairs, burning fireplace at the back … Definitely worth to visit

This is my new favourite brunch place in Calgary. Amazing selection of foods and desserts prime rib, omelette station, lox, shrimp, potatoes and more. eggs benedict was one of the best i have had. Everything just melts in your mouth. Highly recommend! Food 10/10. Service was amazing 10/10. It’s kid friendly, Parking is available at the Telus convention or street parking. It’s affordable 45 per person!

We went here for Thanksgiving and I must say this is now my favorite restaurant. We had a great experience; all the staff are warm and our server was highly attentive and friendly. She made sure we get the right orders. The food was also satisfying and worth the price. All of us loved what we ordered. The food came in big servings which came as a surprise to us given that it is a hotel restaurant. The ambience was cozy, we had a fine dining experience.
