THE LEAD VERDICT
“duck confit's done perfectly - meat shreds easy while staying juicy paired wiht cherry gastrique that cuts through the richness with just enough tang. yo this chef knows their classical french techniques skip it”
“hollandaise on the side dish was broken - you could see the separation and it had that grainy texture that happens when the emulsion screws up”
ALSO FILED
“not gonna lie the korean bbq bowl completely made me rethink trying new stuff. ok so the beef is so tender and has this sweet-savory flavor that just works and the kimchi is tangy and crunchy which keeps it interesting no joke”
“the seating is super cramped like i felt like i was eating right next to the next table. as a bigger guy the tight space made the whole thing feel rushed”

CONTRIBUTING CRITICS
“this little place on 17th ave is making some seriously creative comfort food - the breakfast poutine with duck egg and hollandaise is genius. like someone took brunch and made it even MORE indulgent which i didnt think was possible”
“but theyre only open til 5 which sucks if you work normal hours. by the time i can get there during the week theyre either closing or already closed”
“the kids grilled cheese has three different cheeses and comes with sweet potato fries that even my pickiest eater demolished. staff was so goood with the kids and its casual enough that you dont stress about them being loud”
“only like 20 seats tho so getting a table for five without waiting forever is basically impossible. yo we ended up taking it to go which wasnt great with three hungry kids”
“finally found a place in calgary that does cortados right - milk temp was perfect creating this velvety texture that didnt overpower teh espressos natural sweetness. barista clearly understands the spanish tradition”
“only open till 4 pm on sundays which sucked when i showed up at 5 pm wanting an afternoon coffee and found locked doors”
“osso buco took me straight back to nonnas kitchen - marrow was rich adn creamy and the meat fell right off the bone after obviously being braised for hours with so much care. def this is how comfort food should taste chefs kiss”
“actually focaccia bread was dry and seemed like it was from yesterday - shame becuase good bread is like the foundation of actual italian food”
“the contrast in their signature sandwich is perfect - crispy sourdough outside then melted cheese with great stretch inside, and the pickles give this sharp taste that cuts thru the richness!!! yo every bite has different textures that just work together idk”
“the soup was served lukewarm which completely ruined it. soup needs to be hot that's like soup 101 and they missed it”
“lunch special is SUCH a good deal - 18 bucks for three courses with soup, a solid main, and dessert. def quality doesnt drop even tho its cheap and portions are filling without being too much”
“tehy auto add 18% service charge to everything which feels presumptuous even though service was actually good”
