I really love that the 5 course menu has multiple options per course, my partner and I are big foodies so being able to try ten different meals was incredible. Every course was delicious, I particularly loved the house focaccia, the greens salad, the trout, and the pavlova! I will definitely be visiting again, I really hope the pavlova stays on the menu.

We…read morehadn't been here before, and our waiter really knew the menu well and was able to give some recommendations, which we appreciated. Friendly and welcoming staff. We booked in advance and they checked in with our party beforehand, so we were able to let them know about an allergy concern. The staff handled that information better than so many other restaurants we've frequented. Allergies can be a serious concern for a lot of people, and having staff who handle those requests seriously in turn shows an appreciation for their customers. Kudos. The food we were served was excellent, across the board. The pasta was fresh, and the quality of their ingredients and skillful preparation made for a satisfying, flavourful meal. Also worth mentioning, they have a varied drink menu with lots of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options to complement your meal. If I absolutely have to complain about something to be unbiased... Price-wise, well, it's not the Ol' Spaghetti Factory, but you're paying marginally more for quality - ingredients, selection, service - and you're getting it. So, priced appropriately, I would say. Music might have been a bit loud for my liking, but my likings are particular and it was admittedly appropriate for the atmosphere. *If you're weirded out by seeing people experiencing poverty and the related effects of social disorder, understand that it is located on 20th street. If the reality of the human condition freaks you out, maybe go have a plain waffle in Brighton or whatever. Weirdo.

A little curious as to what this restaurant is trying to be, but the saving grace is that the…read morecheesecakes and service are pretty decent. What I mean by that is - well, you know how red flags are raised when a restaurant has way too many things on their menu? The reasoning there is that there's no way someone can be good at making THAT many dishes. Well, when I walked into Calories, I just wasn't really sure what it was trying to be. The storefront looks like a cute cafe, the cash and display case make it look like a bakery, the bar behind makes it look like a homey pub, and the tables in the back make it look like a nice fancy restaurant. So I was pretty confused about what kind of place this was. Nevertheless, we sat down and ordered a slice of the toffee cheesecake and a slice of the Saskatoon berry lemon yogurt cheesecake. I had been hearing rave reviews about the toffee all weekend, and although the texture is perfectly creamy and crust is beautifully crumby, was it worth the $10 for a single slice? Not sure. The berry cheesecake had a wonderful lemon flavor, but it tasted a little stale, like it had been in the case for a day or two. Our server was personable, friendly, and very professional. A nice place to come once when visiting town, but I'm not sure how often I would come if I was a local.

I am a Calories fan!!! For special occasions…read more It enables me to create my own ambiance at home, without needing to bake, n I'm very particular. Why? Because I'm a professional 20+ yr retired baker myself!! So, I want the best quality for my money. If I'm going to spend, give me the best, n it's found here. The desserts are made from scratch, and are fresh every time. Beware, lol, you'll be tempted to buy 1/2 or the entire dessert!! However, because it's made right, it will last in your fridge until it's gone. They use top ingredients, that's why. Taste the difference, here. The owners are great, and dedicated. Club Sandwich is great!!! I also love their holiday meal specials. In fact, last year, I gave gifts away, from this place. What a great way, to celebrate the holidays!! When people already have everything, buy them this. Because it helps make memories for them at home.

It was pretty empty when we first showed up so we got seated quickly, the place is pretty small but…read morecosy and the lighting is really nice. There was only one server and by the time there was 3 tables she got quickly overwhelmed and service was pretty slow. We started with the Kashk Bademjan, its incredibly good and I highly recommend ordering this. The server almost accidentally give our mains to another table but she caught it in time. I got the Khoresh Gheymeh (lamb stew I believe), it seems like they no longer offer it as I don't see it on their online menu. It was pretty good and I liked the strong lime flavours. By this point in our meal the server couldn't keep up with all the tables and we ended up having to pile of our dishes off to the side of our table. The dessert was the highlight of the evening, the cheesecake was average but the saffron cake was delicious! One of the best cakes I've ever had! By the end of our meal the owner came to help the server and it was great to see him helping on the floor! He was very kind and explained that one of there servers called in sick and they couldn't get another worker in on time. Overall I enjoyed the evening and it was great to experience a different kind of cuisine then I am used to. The only reason this review is a 4/5 is because of the service, while the sole server was good she was very slow and made a few mistakes.

We shared the Bruschetta (my husband thought it was the best he'd ever had) and each ordered a different pasta dish so we could try one another's. I had the Tagliatelle Alla Marinara - it was loaded with seafood, the white wine cream sauce had layers of flavours and those fresh noodles were top notch! My husband had the Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese that was equally delicious! Both meals were huge servings, so we ate as much as we could and took the rest home to finish up for supper the next evening! Our server, Madison, was just a joy to deal with. Thank you for a terrific night, my first time in Saskatchewan :)

We didn't have a reservation but he was very clear on the amount of wait times. Asked us to sit and we were seated quite quickly. Food is decent but not amazing. Good portion for family style sharing. The Brussels sprouts were very good and crispy, making it the winner of the night. Calamari Frutti were a bit bland and crusty which tasted floury. Insalata di Cesare could use more garlic. While the Capelli d'Angelo con Gamberi has only a few shrimps for the price.

I really enjoyed…read morethe popcorn fries, and the stuffed pasta (I do think a little lemon would work well with it but I enjoy things a tad more acidic than most.) The drinks were incredible (particularly the Saskatoon Club) and I enjoyed people-watching from the outdoor patio. My partner and I like to sample many things from the menu so we were a little disappointed that the 5 course menu does not have multiple dish options per course as we would have opted for that. The meal sizes were very good for the price. I was a big fan of the sticky toffee pudding, I really hope that's a permanent fixture on the menu. My partner was not a fan of the carrot cake, I believe there were too many nuts and not enough ice cream to balance the dryness the nuts add. I would advise the owners to swap the chairs in the outdoor patio as they are slightly uncomfortable and leave terrible imprints on the legs when wearing shorter dresses. Overall, it was an amazing night and I definitely recommend visiting! We will be back when the menu changes! It is a shame that the museum is not open for similar hours, as I would have enjoyed viewing the museum while waiting for our reservation.

Even tho the name kinda gave it away that there'll be tomatoes (key ingredient to bruschetta), I didn't expect there to be onions as the menu DOES NOT indicate that I of course, picked it all out and gave it to Mr C (swipe to see his burger with it). Flavour-wise, it was flavourless with a hint of sourness to it. Not sure if it's the tomato or onions but I didn't like it. I was fairly hungry so I still devoured the entire bowl with the toast...but funny... I was still hungry you'd think for $20 I'd be decently full...but nope...I ended up ordering their Market soup as one of his friends ordered and recommended it. T H I S was actually good. Hot and plenty of flavour! And stole some of my bf's fries He got Cajun Cheddar Chicken burger and it wasn't too bad. My tomatoes/onions helped make it better apparently but honestly, tho it came with two sides - it's not really worth the $22 ‍ After the rush game, we ended up back at OJ's again for post-game food and drinks. I got their traditional poutine since it was a happy hour special. Ate about 60% of it; didn't finish cause it was just too salty. My bf got their Dynamite Tempura Shrimp. I was surprised this actually tasted pretty good! It was, however, a bit too saucy for our likings. Will we go back? Maybe if we meet up with friends but we wouldn't go as a date with just ourselves.
