    What a difference! Went to May to celebrate an anniversary. I have been here before for brunch, but this time everything was amazing! The mushrooms were tasty but slightly heavy as they are deep fried 3.5/5 stars. The cucumber salad was tasty with a slight kick. The cottage cheese was perfectly seasoned, 4.5/5. The broccolini is incredible. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, and presented 5/5. The last dish was the gnudi very pretty but lacked something special. The pesto was also pretty bland 3/5. Finally, the blondie was good, with lots of christmas flavors 4/5. Overall, the prices are a bit high, but definitely worth it with the broccolini. The service was great and courteous. Definitely would recommend for supper

    Unique eggs benedict on a gluten free vegetable fritter lightened with mint and greens. I really enjoyed how this combination allowed me to feel indulgent and yet not weighed down. The atmosphere is certainly more upscale which can be great for a fancier brunch, but would be even better for an evening out. Service was excellent. Staff was well educated about dietary restrictions, menu options, and willing to ask the kitchen for any clarification required. There were only a handful of veg/GF options including the veg fritter egg benny and shakshouka, but if you're happy with limited menu options, you'll be satisfied with the excellent quality of food and unique flavours. Given that this place opened up under a new name only recently, it's a great spot to try something new in Edmonton if you're looking to change it up - a rare occurrence for celiacs in the city.

    I'd been meaning to visit May for awhile now and finally had my chance this weekend. My first impression of the space is that it felt cozy yet modern. The music is a little loud which normally doesn't bother me but one member of our group is hard of hearing and struggled a bit to keep up with the conversation so we will keep that in mind next time. They have a great cocktail list, using house-made infusions in many of their drinks. I started off with the About the Bees which combines gin with bee's wax infused amaro and green tea inflused honey. The bee's wax gave the drink a super interesting texture. May encourages sharing a number of small plates, tapas style, for dinner. 2/3 of us were vegetarian and we were happy to see how many options we had. We went with the market greens, grilled broccolini, roasted eggplant, and ricotta gnudi. The standout for me was the broccolini. I love honey mustard on anything and this was no exception. I made sure to save room for dessert and we shared the ube pavola which combines flavours of ube, mango, coconut, and sesame. I would absolutely come back to May just to have this dessert again.

    Was really excited to check out this new place... I think it's been open for a couple of months. It's right at the Alberta art gallery, in a place where there was an old restaurant called zinc. We came in on a Saturday night around 6 PM and the ambiance was great, lots of candles, very romantic, the art is amazing. The menu is simple, there's not too many items, and everything is sharing. I thought the value was really there with the size of the plates. We definitely ordered way too much... I think if you did to appys and two entrées for two people you're in good shape. I always try steak tartare when it's at a reputable place, and this was my favorite... There's no toast, it's on like a potato pancake, but the flavour was fantastic. We also did the ravioli which was good. But it's just one big ravioli so not great for sharing. For entrées we did the short ribs, which was massive... Meat falling off the bone, with some beets and kale. It's almost the size of a pot roast so I would say definitely three portions. We also did the seafood risotto which was incredible. A great mix of flavours and a substantial portion too. For dessert we did the Panna cotta, which had some really nice sorbet and lychee. We also had a couple cocktails, they did a really nice nonalcoholic sangria for my girlfriend, and I did the old-fashioned which was phenomenal. Also if you're a wine person, they have an extensive wine list with some really interesting wines. Quite a few by the glass and I was impressed. Definitely a place that you have to go!!

    So this is my second time coming here. I have to say the service and the food has become more improved. I will stay though that based on the price the food is small. The scallops were 24 dollars and only 4 of them. The whole grilled onion and the fresh sprouts did not work with the dish. To many different textures and sizes that didn't compliment each other. On the other hand, the scallops were cooked perfectly. The Squash gnocchi was amazing, in taste, texture, and beauty. But again, look at how many gnocchi for 24 bucks, certainly not a "large plate." However the beef tartar on crostini was again tasty but small. This was 26 bucks. The star of the show was the mushrooms which were perfectly cooked and potato crunch (chips) gave an amazing contrast. The menu is interesting and changes. The food is well presented and delicous. But I can't rationalize the price point the cost of the dish. If you have a small appetite and a big pocketbook go here. I probably won't be running here again. (Especially since if I am running, I won't be able to afford the calories I burned).

For starters, we had the crispy yam fries and the Creole crab & spinach dip. Both were very good! I wasn't a huge fan of the chips that came with the crab dip, but honestly, that's such a small thing compared to how good the dip itself was. For mains, we had the chicken fingers and the peppercorn ribeye. The chicken fingers were SO good -- perfectly cooked with amazing breading. I wasn't a fan of the honey mustard, and unfortunately they didn't offer another dipping sauce, but the chicken itself was fantastic. And the ribeye... SOOOO GOOD. It was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the mashed potatoes that came with it were amazing. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The décor was great -- very modern and very 109th Street. It has that slick, upscale bar vibe that fits the area really well. The only awkward part was the hostess stand, which kind of puts you in the middle of a very active walkway while you're waiting. The staff were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, though! Huge shoutout to our server Abby, who was fantastic and made the experience even better. Overall, really enjoyed our dinner at Cactus Club. A couple tiny misses, but the food, atmosphere, and service definitely made up for them. I'd absolutely come back!

Small place though and I imagine on weekends it would be really loud. Our server happened to be the owner as well. He was prompt and friendly. He treated us well. Tonnes of amazing cocktails on the menu. I think I will try a different cocktail every time I go. There is one for everyone. Menu is short but has something for everyone there too. I decided on the Warm Mushroom Salad which contained a Mushroom Medley, with a Shallot, Rose Water, & Elderflower Liqueur Vinaigrette and the Spicy Rigatoni with Habanero Rose Sauce. My husband went with Braised Chuck Flatserved on fresh grits, glazed in demi. Cocktails were carefully crafted and the food came out in a timely manner. Food was excellent. The mushroom salad was full of flavour and cooked properly. The spicy rigatoini was excellent with just enough heat from the habanero sauce. However, the real start was the braised chuck which melted with a tap of the fork. The grits were well cooked and a good accompaniment. We were stuffed but I would like to try thier desserts in the future. Cocktail prices were high but in the same price range as other fancy cocktail bars. The food prices were the same as many other places but with higher quality. Definately try this place out. I am looking forward to my next visit.

I liked it, It made it more intimanite. Menu varies depending on the season. But I am sure that everyone will find something they would like. We chose a few things raw elk with fried capers, shallots & blueberries, the seared scallops with celeriac puree, capers, garlic and butter, saskatoon berry brisket with beef and carmelized onion on bannock, and the pappardelle rabbit ragu with parmigian reggiano . We also took two cockails which was delicous. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was delicious. The stand out was the raw elk. Delicous combination of thing that do a party in you mouth. I would go back just for that . The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the brisket. Way too sweet for me. Be warned it is pricey. Expect to empty your pocket book.

The menu is somewhat seasonal and they were happy to answer all our questions and to provide suggestions where needed. We mostly had some appetizers and we'd like to come back to try more dishes. The seasonal salad had apples and walnuts and was super hearty and delicious. The scallops and the sauce were so tender and creamy, the bison tartare was really nice too. It was similar to a steak tartare with its own twist. If you enjoy steak tartare you will love this. We will definitely be back! Great new local restaurant to support!
