From the ambiance of a pleasant relaxing setting, to the infusions and culinary appetizers that were prepared to perfection, I would highly recommend any dish.

Incredible selection of spirits (not just gin) and an incredible champagne bar attached. Amazing food, fabulous service. Not an obvious place, but it’s well worth the visit.

We were in Calgary for our Wedding Anniversary and had the chance to visit twice. A return visit was needed to try a good selection of their premium and very creative cocktails.

We enjoyed a variety of different gin drinks and Martini's inspired by Franco the bar tender. Nice food presentation.
