Absolutely one of the best restaurants in Calgary. Sarah was exceptional as was Hayden and we loved meeting Dallas. Hands down best Beef Tartare ever, the flavour is layered, the hand made crispy wonton wrapper addictive. Charlie’s Watch Repair is a must try speak easy experience, the atmosphere is relaxed and fun with some of the most delicious cocktails and shots.
