We had the Carpaccio and the beef tartar and they were both delicious. They sprinkle TRUFFLE powder on their tartar making it a MUST have in my opinion... oh it was heaven. I had this really delicious drink that had a floral taste with chamomile in it. They had such a unique drink list of many different flavours and styles.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this place with great food and service not too far from our…read morehotel. We visited twice during our vacation in Calgary and we loved the vibrant feel and tried several items on their expansive menu. Wide array of cocktails to choose from. My husband enjoyed Penicillin which is a mix of Johnnie Walker black, honey, ginger, lemon, lagavulin peated whiskey. My daughter savored her Brazilian Lemonade which is a mix of rum, whole lime, and sweetened condensed milk. I had a Virgin Mojito which was refreshing. Another time I tried another zero-proof drink. I believe it was called Hey Hibiscus. Delicious appetizers that we enjoyed were: *Creole Crab & Spinach Dip served with corn tortilla chips. *Chili Citrus Calamari is crispy fried, sprinkled with chilis, szechuan peppercorn, and served with a citrus dip. *Truffle Fries freshly fried seasoned with truffle, herbs, grana padano, and served with garlic aioli. The main entrees were shareable too and we were delighted with the Peppercorn Ribeye which is this 45 day aged 14oz CAB® ribeye in brandy peppercorn sauce and served with buttered mashed potatoes and green beans. The healthier choices did not disappoint either: *Avocado Kale Salad with Salmon was delicious with crispy chickpeas, grilled avocado, pickled red cabbage, fennel chili crumb, grana padano, and lemon garlic dressing. *Szechuan Lettuce Wraps was this generous portion of chicken (our choice) in sweet and spicy szechuan glaze, sprinkled with a good amount of peanuts, wontons, korean chili sauce, and spicy yogurt. *Tuna Temaki was new on the menu and described as ocean wise™ ahi, toasted sesame, cucumber, serrano pepper, nori, green onion. We all wish we had a Cactus Club Cafe in the US. Google says they have one in Miami.

My favorite was the yuzu salmon, I've never tasted anything like it. I also got the agedashi tofu for appetizer and was very surprised with how light yet flavorful it was. The tofu was very crispy, but if you leave it in too long, it becomes soggy. Seating is bar style and servers were really nice.

The salmon and tuna was also super delicious and the rice was perfect. We also got the Japanese yam fires which weren't greasy at all and super tasty.

We came here for food after a super disappointing tasting menu at NUPO and left full and happy!

I made a reservation (admittedly same day in the morning) and arrived to a packed right up to the…read moredoor waiting "area" with no way to make anyone aware we were there as there was barely space to breathe, and had anyone wanted to leave we would all have had to go back outside to allow it (to give you an idea of how small the space was). After about 10 minutes we were close enough to see a server and say a reservation name, she asked for a moment, and walked off, fair, then came back and asked the party one before us who were seated nearby to get up and move elsewhere, which i have literally never seen anyone do and was frankly shocked that they would do that, nevermind in front of us. Unfortunatly this set the tone for the entire visit. A server did come over fairly quickly and ask if we had drink orders, but two of our party are not from Canada so were restricted to WiFi, of which there isnt a public password available anywhere and the menus are QR based, which i do appreciate given the changing menu, however there should be at least one hard copy available for situations exactly like this. After this we waited around for a wifi password which allowed one more of our party to connect, but the last member was still unable to throughout the entire visit, for no obvious reason. Around 40 minutes into our visit we were finally blessed with another visit from a server (they dont have set tables and only the first introduced herself so i dont have names) she was INCREDIBLY rude when taking our drink order and seemed generally inconvinienced by our presence, she also asked for a flavour choice on a drink (from our non menu bearing member) and she had missed that there was a choice, and therefore said she wasnt sure sorry, the server made zero effort to list the options (i have seen servers list less options from more packed menus) and again was incredibly rude about it. After this interaction she also made us aware that the second table for two our party of four was using, "needed to be kept empty" and directed us to share one single table for two, and i mean a table for two here, between us four. Two in the booth seating side (which blocked anyone getting to said empty table) and two on two chairs, which even when shoved right up against the edge of the next raised seatinf area, did not fit side by side at the table leaving one party member half between the empty table and the parties table. It should be noted this extra table remained completely empty throughout our visit, and no reason was stated (if it was to be clear to get large drink presentations to tables/reserved/they just wanted to see if they could). The menu does state that drinks may take a while to arrive, however, we ordered one of the "specialty" drinks, 3 regular menu drinks and four shots, and i feel an hour and a half into our visit we should have at least seen the shots. BUT those came last. The non alcoholic mojito (lime flavour) tasted like concentrated lime juice, no sign of the mint the menu also states it has, the non alcoholic butterbeer, was 90% ice and tasted like watered down whatever they were aiming for, deff nothing special and not anything id have said was butterbeer based on the thousand recipies out there, what I ve made myself, and what ive had at any other HP themed places. Pistachio bourbon wasnt mixed or given anyway to mix, so it was a layer of syrup in the bottom of the glass and then the bourbon so didnt really give the desired effect. Honestly extremely dissapointing given the prices. In the hour and a half we were waiting for our drink order, nobody had checked if we wanted to order food, infact it was difficult to even get a server unless we were willing to walk over to the other end of the crowded bar to where there were servers chatting with each other. We chose to use this as a sign to NOT order food and go elsewhere. Once we asked for our bill, the server suddenly became very chatty, and friendly, honestly it was like a full personality transplant occured, wonder why! They were out of paper to print a reciept and showed it to us at a distance on the tablet they have, unable to clearly see a total i have no idea if we were subject to the 20% gratuity mentioned, nor do we have a copy for ourselves, the menu does mention this applies to parties of 6, however reviews imply its added regardless. So overall we spent almost 2 hours, spent over $110 for subpar drinks and horrific service. The place itself looks vaguely harry potter, but like, harry potter walked into a christmas tree and lost the fight. It was hard to see the main draw of the bar (the theme) through ALL the christmas decor, lights and neon wall lighting, which was dissapointing. I had been waiting for a long time to come here specifically with my HP loving family, and this was very much not it. The huge tv playing christmas movies directly in my face on the wall deff didnt help the ambiance, and the cold draft every time the door opened, and servers
