Beautiful place in a great location!!.. In addition the food and the wine were very very good and the service very friendly and on time!... I went with a group and we ordered appetizers to share and they were all great!... The dates with bacon was my favorite dish, but the scallops were delicious too!.. The calamari was excellent! We also had a dip that was very good and the pretzel was not bad... Regarding the wine: I had Riesling per glass and it was good... I would definitely love to go back there!! read more

Every time we come to One18, we get the same level of great food and great service. Their brunch menu has everything from chicken and waffles to fruit smoothies. For dinner, they're always switching up the menu and we always find something new we love. Recently they introduced chicken wings that had such unique flavors - we couldn't get enough. The staff is always so fantastic. They're attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They're also such foodies that you can have a great long conversation about their food items as well as great places to try around the city. This place is ideal for big group outings but also small intimate dinners. Did I mention they also wheel a giant barrel to make you a whiskey drink? I really enjoy going here and always recommend it to my friends. read more

Very good BLT and tomato bisque for lunch. Almost a wow. A lot more than you would think for a classic sandwich. Outstanding service.

Faboulous burger! And the best part? Sit at the bar over lunch hour, order + eat + pay for a burger in 30 minutes and you get it for $10. Beware - the french fries and salads cost you extra (we weren't made aware of this fact until we got our bill, otherwise it would be 5 stars) I have also been here for happy hour on Mondays when wings + Old Fashioned's are half price - fabulous deal! Try the honey hot wings, not advertised but amazing! read more

We were there for pre concert meal. We chose from the 'shareabbles' and all 3 were well prepared, well presented.We had the mussels in fennel and caramelised onions and grilled focaccia; the pan seared scallops on pork jowel and polenta; and deboned short ribs in Yorkshire pud with pancetta and fresh mint. They were rich/ filling and excellent. The wine list for reds is too light but could be excused since it is a whisky bar The service was excellent since we asked for sequencing and this was well fulfilled as was wine pouring A very good downtown option read more

this review is just based on their service as I did not have opportunity to actually try their food. Booked them almost 16 days ahead before new years eve for 11 people.. and asked them few times if they are gonna have any special and if so what they would be. I even checked their website and talked to them day before. so far ' nope no special '.. they call me few hours before our reservation letting me know that theres a special 5 course meal and can not order from the menu and it will be $100pp. when i asked why they have not let me know about this before or even yesterday then i could've talked to my group to see if they were still interested. They had nothing to say .. no sorry nothing... she just said to let her know if i can make it for our reservation. This was really unacceptable and disappointing .. specially during new years even its hard to find a restaurant plus with such a big group we had to choose different restaurant. read more

Came here during happy hour on a Friday. Great drink specials on wine and certain Appetizers. I believe around $5 for certain wines and $2 for house made chips. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was just ok. Not as flavorful as I would like and steak was a little tough. The steak sandwich cost $24. Highly recommend this place for casual drinks and appy's during happy hour but unsure about dinner. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Prices are great for the quality food you receive. Needing a sociable spot to grab a fancy drink and an appetizer this is the spot. Meals I would suggest the burgers hamburger or chicken, both are full of portions and flavour. Oh and grab a old fashion they do a great display with a smoked barrel. read more

The petite tenderloin with the chimichurri sauce was phenomenal! Our server, Meredith, and her manager did an excellent job of making us feel welcome and special. It is our last night in Calgary and we are very glad we chose One18. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch during the week. The menu reads really well and settled on the steak sandwich and Caesar salad, both were great. I'd just suggest slicing the steak sandwich before putting it on the bread, by the time you cut through it your plate is destroyed. Caesar was great as well, the chicken skins were ok, overall a great lunch spot in DT Calgary. read more

Very nice interior and ambience. The old fashioned serving idea is pretty cool. The service was also very good. However the food was mediocre and overpriced for the quality. Overall, due to the food quality, I cannot score more than 3 stars for this restaurant unfortunately. read more

Smoke much. Excellent epicurean idea and innovation. Unique menu. Great quality produce and meat. Therein, my drink was smoked, my Cesar salad was smoked, my meat was smoked, my potatoes were smoked. I decided to pass on dessert- I was afraid at this point of smoke. read more

Absolutely mouth watering delicious! The ambiance of One18 Empire is phenomenal - perfect for date night or drinks with friends. I loved the lounge feel mixed with the exquisite influence of a whiskey bar! Start your night with a cocktail - the Black Walnut Old Fashioned is to die for! The quality of the food is unbelievable! With each bite, I could not believe my taste buds. The cheesecake is the best cheesecake I have ever had! I will definitely be returning here! read more

Amazing food! Don't leave without ordering an Old Fashion. Ask for Jamie as your server! Ok, I almost never right reviews, as I almost never get outstanding service, food, atmosphere, and a iconic history lesson the place I'm visiting during a restaurant experience. Jamie was spot on with all our questions about the menu. She delivered a theatrical hit explaining how they came up with the concepts for their Old Fashions, and gave us an amazing history and perspective of Calgary. The staff @ One18 rocked it out of the park! Thanks Jamie! Now food, we ate in the evening (just in case it matters). We had a group of 7 and we were able to order a good variety of things on the menu. There was one thing that didn't taste amazing! From appetizers to entrees we were all more than satisfied. Only complaint is I wasn't in Calgary long enough to go 4 more times to try the other thing on the menu. Excellent service, Excellent food, and Excellent experience! read more

The service, atmosphere and food is amazing here. This restaurant is perfect for a night out, business lunch or just hanging out with friends. I had the smokes chicken sandwich with kale Cesar salad and it was delicious. The dressing is made with lemon preserve and it was spectacular. Everything is made I house so it is fresh and devine. The smoked chicken came on a pretzel bun and I wanted to take a bag of them home! I highly recommend this place! read more

This place is delicious. I have been for both lunch and dinner and both have been great. Not a fan of whiskey so their cocktail list doesn't entice me too much. read more

Delicious breakfast. Pancakes and their specialty bacon, smoked thick pieces of pork drizzled with maple syryp. Like meat candy. The service was great and friendly. read more

When we first got there it took a few minutes for the waitress to help us and we were left awkwardly standing and I thought uh oh this is going to be a bad time but I was really wrong. Highly impressed by the food quality and taste. The location was really great and the service was awesome. The prices of this place are even better! I got the breakfast in a barrel and it was amazing. Do recommend this place to anyone :) read more

I took breakfast here. The Greek Yoghurt was great! A nice balance between all ingredients.

Had a delicious omelette for lunch! Cozy but classy atmosphere. Really enjoyed watching the bartenders make a fancy whisky drink at another table. read more

Great location, wonderful staff, and GREAT whiskey and rye selection! The food was good and the speciality hand crafted drinks were great. Enjoyed a couple old fashions with different Ryes both very good. Had the opertunity to enjoy the express lunch, the soup was great, found that entree to lack flavor. All in all, I would be back. read more

Fantastic food and settings. Between the trout spread, the mussels and the steak, I can't decide which of the items I ordered were my favorite. Will go back again. read more

Excellent wait staff but the food portions are small. On the lunch menu, order 2 items for $15 or 3 items for $19. The special was the house burger which was $10 if eaten at the bar but $20 if eaten in the dining area. I ordered the bacon wrapped meatloaf with the kale faro salad. When the food was brought out, it looked like portions from the children's menu! Atmosphere is pleasant as the décor is a neutral colours with wide open spaces between the tables. Wait staff are very friendly and attentive and explained the history of the restaurant and the origins of the name of the restaurant. read more

I LOVE BURGERS! And this one is served on a pretzel bun, and truffle fries. Super delicious. Not the mention they have a huge variety of Whisky and Scotch. Frederic helped me choose (Jameson Reserve is my choice) and they always throw on a Habs game when I'm there (Don't judge me) Really really good food, chicken wings, spicy brussel sprouts, and stuffed dates were my favorite. Trendy, and room for large parties. Love it all! Thanks to Amy for numerous great experiences. read more
