Make sure you try their Calamari -- possibly the best in town, when accompanied with tzatziki sauce. It is definitely on my list of great places in Edmonton to celebrate special occasions.

I came here for the first time as part of a networking event and found Kasbar to have a very bohemian feel to it. The bartenders were very friendly and seemed to be having a great time. It's a great place to grab a casual drink and there are lots of out of the way tables and seating areas for conversation.

We both got a steak sandwich which was the special. I wasn't wild about the bacon, whiskey jam that came on it but the steak and mashed potatoes more than made up for it. The steak was a real deal hunk of meat. Many places that I've gone for a steak sandwich give you a thin, flat, grey meat like material. It's never good. This was a hunk of BEEF and boy was it tender! And flavorful! I'm glad I gave Jonathan's another try after all these years. Wasn't disappointed! **Ordered the same night for dinner. Got the mini Yorkies and a couple sides. Was great!

The standout was the salmon. Delicous Laksa sauce. Absolutely beautiful. The Nanaimo bar martini was good, but extremely rich. I would say if you are not a huge sweet fan try something else. However, if you love chocolate, this one is for you. For us this was fairly pricey so it would be a once a year treat.
