Ambiance: Hotel Overlook inspired bar/restaurant with 60s & 70s decor where retro meets cozy + upscale. The menu, drinks, & decor play homage to Stephen King's The Shining. Great date night spot or enjoying dinner with friends. The rigatoni was spicy but delicious! Highly recommend their unique cocktails. If you're an espresso martini fan, the Eyes Wide Shut is a must order. Our server was friendly and helpful. We did wait a bit to order and for our drinks/food to arrive but it was a Saturday night so that was to be expected. Decent pricing for the quality of food/drinks. As a horror movie and fancy dinner fan, The Wednesday Room satisfied my expectations. read more

This is an awesome place to go if you want good drinks, food and just chill and carry a conversation. It's right on Stephens Ave. and right across from the Hyatt Regency. We came in around 10pm and luckily they were able to seat us downstairs right away. I feel so bad for the hostess because she had to run up and down the stairs and also buss the tables. Downstairs is a 70's vibe and I dig it. Their drink menus change seasonally and the prices are not too bad if you are from the US. It's almost like a speakeasy in a way and they put more effort in to their drinks. Overall, I highly recommend coming here if you just want to chill and get away from all the noise on Stephen Ave. read more

2024 NYE review! As you enter, the decor hits with an old school literary class vibe. Typewriters adorn the bar wall. Bar seats are leather bound and comfortable. The cocktails and appetizers definitely reflect the detail oriented feel of the restaurant. The cocktails are organized by category so it's easier to select. Please order the focaccia with the Winter Burrata. The pairing complements each other with the crunch of the focaccia with the smooth burrata. Sea bass is prepared with a slight crisp on the skin and a potato risotto. read more

I had a reservation for my birthday for 15 people. Some people came in a little late, when they told the hostess the name that reservation was under, the hostesses laughed and whispered to each other from what my friends told me. There wasn't enough utensils or seats for everyone, even though we informed them on call how many people were coming. read more

Fun spot. Sat downstairs. Had a very engaged server. Food is creative and different. Would come again.

We were walking up and down Stephen Avenue and stumbled across this spot. We asked for a quick place to sit and decided to go downstairs instead of the bar upatairs--and MAN was I really glad we did! Downstairs takes you to an awesome, funky, 70s basement. With elaborate carpet, wood paneling, and a groovy bar in the back you won't be disappointed by the vibes. (Extra points for the old school, Motown music jamming in the background!) We had a few cocktails, which were all themed after a director and movies--a concept I really enjoyed, and my sister ordered the oysters. She enjoyed the oysters very much and all four of our cocktails were tasty! This was probably one of my most favorite, unique bars I've been to. I will most definitely be back if I'm in the area! read more

Hip, cool, trendy, with delicious amazing food. I'm not sure how I never knew about this place. It's on the famous stephan avenue in a prime spot with spectacular views of the Calgary tower and downtown. I was cycling around and decided I wanted to go to the most touristy spot in Calgary I could find. Yup this place is dead center of it all. The views on the outdoor patio are spectacular and honestly that itself was worth it. The food was top notch. Plated beautifully. Fresh ingredients. Delicious items all uniquely prepared with a fancy personal touch. In my opinion, it wasn't even that pricey for what you got as the portions were reasonable and everything was made with specialty farmers market quality products. I had the wagyu beef burger which blew my mind on first bite bc that sweet relish was phenomenal. You could tell it was all locally sourced and freshly made. The fries, bun everything was perfect. I gobbled every piece off my plate. It was too good for leftovers!!! I was so stuffed but impressed by the food I got dessert and hell...it did not disappoint. A matcha tres leche was perfect with just a hint of sweetness which didn't overwhelm the matcha! It was divine. I don't use that word often in reviews but this place deserves it. The staff were friendly and so nice to even mention the indoors area is used as a set for the show mad Men! An Instagram worthy place. I walked inside and it took my breath away. The ceilings, the bar, chandelier, art, damn even the washroom felt like a posh movie set from the glamorous 60s. The basement was so cool I wanted to order a drink there! This will be my go to place...EVERY SINGLE TIME I'm in Calgary. Check it out. U won't be disappointed. I feel like dining here is an experience in itself and bonus the food and drinks are stellar! read more

was in town for a business meeting, and I took my clients here. The atmosphere, service, and food/drink certainly helped close the deal. Awesome spot. read more

First time there. Decided to go for the fixed menu YYC 3 course lunch special. Has the smashed cucumber salad which was tasty, decided on the tuna steak and frites. Portion of tuna I found small about 3-4 ounces, fries were average. Chose the tart for desert and it was good. Service was attentive and efficient. Had ask to have the music turned down significantly and it was turned down without any issue. Decor and ambiance is 10/10 with a The Shining theme throughout. The upholstery could use a good cleaning though. read more

Amazing flavors! Cucumber salad, fried eggplant and lasagna were fantastic. Great drink selection too. Service on the patio wasn't great. Drinks were very slow to arrive. read more

The food and service at this place was fantastic. They offered several gluten free options and the atmosphere was perfect for a date night. read more

You will feel like you took a step back in time when you enter the Wednesday Room. The basement level has a 70s meets modern decor with geometric carpet, rust orange chairs, and wood paneling. We settled into some of the cozy eclectic chairs and were greeted by our waitress. We ordered some of the signature cocktails. The drinks were absolutely delicious. The dim lighting, decor, and music made for a perfect date night. read more

A friend of mine and I decided to go to the Wednesday Room as we had heard good things about this place. We got a table in the basement which gives a better experience than upstairs. We went on a Wednesday when they have happy hour all day and with glass of wine for $6 and a charcuterie board for $15. They have great decor and atmosphere. I specially liked the basement, it feels cozy and welcoming. The service was excellent. Overall we had a great experience and can't wait to go back there. read more

This place is unique but not the rally fun. Basement dining with 70's type lighting and furniture was more creepy than comfy, in my opinion. Food was good. Bipimbap and scallop dish with pork belly was good but didn't make it any better to be in the creepy basement. read more

Excellent food and excellent service. Fellow Yelper and I had their summer feast prix fixe lunch meal and we had a blast. We both chose the same options, starting with beef tartar, which came with plenty of fresh toast. Our pasta was absolutely delicious and was apparently a Croatian recipe since the chef had Croatian roots. The dessert was a simple yet fudgie brownie that was elevated with the soft cream cream and raspberry coulis. The meal cost $25 but you need to treat yo self! read more

I have never been to this restaurant before but they had a booth at the Rocky Mountain Food and Wine Festival this year (2018) and the food items that they had there were amazing! They were serving: - Salmon Tartare - Pork Belly Bao - The Real McKinley Cocktail - Ellipsis Cocktail - Always Sunny in Phili Cocktail Their Cocktails are delicious and have such unique names! The Salmon tartare was amazing! I didn't have any of the pork bell bao because I don't eat pork but my family said it was delicious! read more

Just stumbled on this place, looking for light refreshments! What a find! I had a glass of Chardonnay and the specialty salad with greens, fennel, apple and pecans. Dressed lightly with a wine wine vinaigrette. Very tasty and light. Rest of menu looked yummy. Staff so very nice, but it is Canada! read more

New place that opened recently on Stephen Avenue. Great food, drinks and staff. Reminiscent of the movie "The Shining" We had the Polenta chips and charred Cauliflower as appetizers: the Polenta chips had a very nice crunch and a flavourful dip that was a nice accompaniment. The charred Cauliflower was literally a huge head of Cauliflower. Sounds simple but oh so delish. Definitely recommended for herbivores and carnivores alike. For our mains, we got the Pasta Pljukanci (try saying that ten times fast), and the Risotto. Both dishes were very rich. Would definitely come back again to try other items on the menu. read more

The 60's lounge vibe is what Wednesday Room has going for it, it's a place you could come and hang out for a drink or two. And I stress that last part because holy moly are the cocktails pricey here! (~$15 a drink, we had the Perfectly Old Fashioned and Le Magifique) We checked this place out after they had their soft open so didn't get the opportunity to try the food, although I've heard great things about it. I'll have to give it another go, although with the competing venues that surround the area with late night happy hour Wednesday Room might need to step up their game. read more

Great food, great atmosphere. The head chef Derek Wilkins is a wizard! So much creativity and passion with every dish. Definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

Trash service. They obviously had coat check but didn't offer it to us. The host didn't even speak to us just communicated through the server it was so bizarre. They don't have menus and want you to go to their website to see it but don't have a QR code to scan, weird and dumb. Server yelled at us while walking to the kitchen that they would be right with us and then didn't come back at all. We were waiting for so long for someone to come see us we decided to leave and I'm glad we did. Glad I didn't give my hard earned money to a place that treats you like an afterthought. read more

Would give ten stars if we could. Maria gave us excellent service a kind and warm welcome, helped us with all of our dietary restrictions. And felt like one of the girls. The food was 75/10, absolutely phenomenal. Gordon Ramsey is shaking. Would live here if we could. read more

Cool spot, great decor and a good vibe. Food and cocktails were great. You have to try the plukanci

I absolutely love this place. From the incredible food to the ambiance. Staff is very friendly, and follows all AHS guidelines during this pandemic. Took my wife on a date night, and because of the amazing experience it got her in the mood when we got home. Thank you Wednesday room for the amazing evening. I highly recommend this place. PS. Truffle popcorn for the win! read more

This is a late review. My friend and I came over the summer for their summer feast and we were excited to try this new restaurant. It was a 3 course lunch for $25. While the food was decent, the portions were not. The portions were actually tasting size and I guess we're expected to order alcohol or additional food, but I thought for events such as the summer feast it is a great time to showcase your dishes, not leave guests hungry and needing a second meal after. Service was great, but the next time I come I will not partake in any fixed price menus. read more

Made a reservation, waited 15 minutes for our table- (wasn't mad at that at all, I'm also a server and I'm understanding) got or drinks at the bar, got our table and sat down, ordered appetizers and entrees at the same time. The apps came super quickly whereas the entrees never came. I was looking forward to taking my boyfriend here and now I'm embarrassed.... read more

It was my second time on this place but still I couldn't give the full star! First visit we sat at the main floor bar, Bar tenders needs more exposure to different mixes, YES!. My friend ordered cocktail which she emphasize "no strong" and she end up having old fashion.I laugh! Second time I came ahead of my group and was seated at the basement and gezzzzzz server wasn't attentive. Saw them chit chatting at the bar counter while I was trying to catch their eye to order something to drink and saw some table were waiting the same. They miss the "Check and Chat". I'm a lover of an old time music but theirs so dry. read more

Expensive food and drinks. ordered the fried olives, cauliflower and pork belly bao.The pork belly was dry. We were asked to leave after 2 hrs as another party was being seated. So we didnt even get a chamce to try the mains and wont be back..we went to Blink where we weren't rushed to leave and able to enjoy the main course. read more

Service, Food, Decor, Location, Staff...this place has it all!!! A must try! Always an amazing experience

Even open on Saturday. And it's not just a room. Drinks are pretty good too. Decor is something reminiscent of The Shining.

This place is cool. Just came in for a cocktail, As this spot was recommended by a bartender at the Unicorn Superpub. I think our server's name was Russia and she was a sweetheart. The cocktails were really good. Nothing I've ever had before. I had the Red Rum and my date had The Traveller (suitable for us as we both love traveling and are visiting Canada for the first time!). On some random notes, I really love the ceiling tiles and the smell of the bathroom soap! A few others guests shared the "fireplace" setting with us and they had ordered some food and desserts that looked fantastic. I would have liked to order something sweet, but I was full from dinner that we had at Unicorn. I recommend this place if you're looking for an intimate cocktail with a date, or quiet setting with a small group of friends. read more

Must admit, great place for drinks and cocktails, but was not a great experience for food. Ordered the 39 ounce tomahawk steak, medium rare, and it was tough. It came out a little more than medium, but the meat was extremely tough and was not tender, not melt in your mouth as I would expect from a 45 day aged steak. Even at the centre of the steak. For a $124.50 piece of meat, definitely was am extreme disappointment. Cauliflower was great, but the octopus was a little tough as well. Service was good, but would not recommend dinner. read more
