We were originally going to another brunch spot but they were way too busy so we looked up more…read moreoptions on Yelp and came across Porch. We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.

As the morning went on, it seemed to fill up fast so I recommend making a reservation. Vibes: Bright, airy space decorated with lots of plants. There were many tables available including 4 swing seats by the bar. Very cute inside! Bathrooms are downstairs. Street parking only. Service: For a party of 12, our servers provided great and quick service. Food: -Cold Brew ($6) with Sweet Cream ($1): it seemed that the cream curdled in the drink. The taste was okay but it got the job done. -Breakfast Bowl ($24): braised beef short rib with 2 poached eggs on a bed of caramelized onion fried potatoes. Large serving, it was perfect to share with 2-3 people. -Kale Caesar ($19): topped with cheese croutons which were interesting. Also great to share with 2 people. Overall: Porch is a cute brunch place that can fit a large party. If you're looking for an aesthetic place, I recommend this place!

Honestly, this could be my new favorite Japanese restaurant in Calgary.

My friends and I got and shared the Katsu udon, classic gyu don, and karaage curry. Every single dish was a banger; I especially loved the gyu don with perfectly seasoned beef and the rice soaking up the sauce. I liked that each dish came with a couple side dishes like tofu, tempura egg, or miso soup. Everything was priced around $18-23. The service was also very friendly; we raved about how delicious the food was, and our server seemed delighted to hear that. So here's your chance to go try the food out and tell her the same thing!

I plan on going back many times in the future.

The pad thai had the right tang to it - not at all sweet or ketchupy like some restaurants. Soup was light and fragrant. The green curry was incredible. I've never been to Thailand before but my husband has and he said the flavours were legit. The kits come with fresh herbs and hard to find ingredients, such as galangal, lemongrass, chilies, shrimp paste, tamarind juice, palm sugar, peanuts, and fish sauce. Prices are reasonable - it works out to be less than Thai restaurants in Calgary but it tastes to me, much healthier and less sweet/oily. There are discounts if you order $100 or more, plus free delivery. Pro tip - cut up the chilies in tiny slivers. I thought it was a red pepper and chomped on it. My mouth was burning for a good hour.

I LOVE Thai Manna! We recently discovered these amazing kits at Bearspaw Lion Farmers Market in NW…read moreThey also are at the Millarville Farmers Market. A small is $15, feeds 2 and $24 for 3-4. They provided samples here for various types, green, red, yellow and Penang curry. They are all DELICIOUS! The price is average and I think about how much it is to go out for Thai, portion sizes are a lot smaller, I feel flavours are restaurant quality and I like how I know what is exactly going in the dish. You can substitute for what you like, coconut milk is provided and you can make it a "lighter" version by adding water. Rice is also provided and is really tasty. They are easy to make and fool proof! Easy directions with all ingredients provided to make, though you add your own vegetables and protein. I've bought all of them and love, it's a really good and fast supper. We add tons of vegetables and we have enough for me, my husband and leftovers for lunch. Downside is I wish they were more easily found! You can go to their website to find locations that carry these kits year round, though pricing is slightly better at the seasonal farmers market. They will give you $1 off if you bring back the box and if you buy 3 kits you'll get a free Tom Yum soup. BTW, I tried and it was also soooo good! Give Thai Manna a try you'll love!!

I ordered the Spot On Burger which is an AAA Certified Alberta Angus Beef and includes lettuce, tomato, onion and spicy mayo for a cost of $17.99. The burger was a hand-crafted beef patty that was juicy and delicious. The bun was fresh as well as the toppings. I would give this burger a 9/10 and look forward to the next time I have it, as I want to dine it for the next burger experience. I highly recommend this burger at Spot On. Second visit in September I had previous placed only orders for pickup from Spot On, however this time I dined in for lunch in early September. I ordered the California Dream Salad with chicken. The cost was $18.98, and was okay, nothing to write home about. This is the second time I have had a salad at Spot On, however I cannot recommend any of the salads, the other items I had here were good, don't come here for salads. Third visit in September I placed an order for pickup from Spot On in early September. I ordered the Chuck Wagon Chicken Sandwich which is a BBQ marinated chicken, cheddar cheese, maple peppered bacon, fried crispy onion strings, spicy mayo, lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun for a cost of $18.99. The chicken sandwich was hefty in size and equally delicious. I highly recommend Chuck Wagon Chicken Sandwich at Spot On.

It looked like he enjoyed it as he consumed it pretty fast. My wife and daughter got the BBQ Brisket. There was lots of meat. It was delicious and tender with great flavour. I had the regular back ribs with almond butter sauce and beans, onion rings and coleslaw. The food was great and the atmosphere made family enjoy their time here.

We usually don't expect much from airport hotel restaurants, but this place far exceeded our…read moreexpectations. It was genuinely one of the best hotel dining experiences I've had. We stayed at the Marriott for an early morning flight and decided to eat dinner at the restaurant on site. We started with Sunday martinis, which were well-sized and well-made, followed by a bottle of wine. The wine list isn't extensive or especially high-end, but we easily found something we enjoyed. For food, we ordered the baked brie with local berries to start...absolutely incredible. My husband had the pasta special with egg noodles w/ fried steak, which he said was perfectly cooked and outstanding. I had the vegetarian chili, which was just as impressive: deeply flavorful with unique spices, not overly spicy, and the plant-based protein paired really well with the beans. I'd love to try recreating it at home. One thing I especially appreciated was the honesty from our bartender. We initially considered the charcuterie and cheese board without the charcuterie part, but he openly explained it was mostly charcuterie and suggested we try the brie instead. That level of transparency stood out and was refreshing. Overall, this meal completely exceeded expectations. I would absolutely go back, even though it requires two flights and a full travel day to return. I wish chefs in our area would be as creative and inventive.

It has an upscale feel and service was outstanding. The food itself was a mixed bag. We had a Thai salad and a Korean BBQ Flatbread Pizza. It tasted decent but I felt that the execution of the dishes and the ingredients itself was lacking. The noodles were flimsy and a bit soggy on the salad and the flatbread for the pizza tasted like something you eat from a frozen pizza meal. Overall, the dishes still tasted good. The chicken for both dishes was the highlight and I did like the gochujang seasoning on the pizza. But for about $25 CAD+ per dish it was disappointing. You could get much better dishes with premium ingredients and execution in town. I understand it's airport food still but I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with my experience here.
