Nice place with plenty options. We got the rigatoni bolognese and the Thai curry. Food tasted great. Also got a non alcoholic hey hibiscus drink didn't taste so good. Service was ok. Serve took along time to come by after picking plates then finally flagged her the. She took a long time to bring check. And the she started small talk. Not good.

Today, my husband and I went to Cactus Club. It was a restaurant I had really wanted to visit for a long time, and today we went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We didn’t make a reservation, and we waited less than 5 minutes to be seated.Sarah, our server, was amazing and took great care of us. She was attentive, beautiful, friendly, and always smiling. She constantly checked on our table to make sure everything was okay, and our glasses were never empty.The food was simply wonderful. We ordered the salmon and the chicken parmesan, and both dishes were juicy, tender, and full of flavor. We also ordered the truffle oil fries and the six-layer chocolate cake, which were absolutely sensational as well.A big thank you to the kitchen staff too. Our experience was wonderful, and we w

We arrived at 9:00 p.m. and were told the wait for a table would be 30–45 minutes. After waiting that long, I checked back and was informed that the wait would actually be another 45–60 minutes. On top of that, they were unapologetic.We understand that busy restaurants can experience delays, but a more accurate estimate would have allowed us to make a better decision about how to spend our evening. Instead, after waiting over 45 minutes, we ultimately had to leave and find another restaurant.This is clearly a popular spot with reputation for good food, but more transparent communication about wait times would make the experience much more positive for guests.

Came to try the happy hour! The bellini was great. The other standout was the lava cake. The rest of the items were fine enough, like the rigatoni and the truffle fries. Not sure i can recommend the avocado dip. Environment was nice, service was ok.

Excellent food and super friendly service. Awesome cocktails- the pina colada was especially tasty, but the others were great, too. Tuna tamaki, lemongrass noodles, and crab dip were terrific, but none of the meals disappointed anyone.

We made reservations ( highly recommended) for happy hour before heading out for dinner in downtown Calgary. We enjoyed the prawn crunch rolls, Bellini's , sunset soda, longboard lager and cabin super saturation hazy IPA. As we were two couples both celebrating a big anniversary and one birthday our awesome server, Jacob, brought us 3 complimentary cheesecake slices with raspberry sauce. All the staff were very pleasant and friendly.

We walked by yesterday lunch time, saw it was packed, so of course went in to see if we could get a table and were seated within minutes. This place is as good as it looks through the window. Fantastic varied menu, we had greens and bowls which were huge and delicious! Fantastic server Sydney who was super helpful, friendly and efficient. Great atmosphere.
