Soooo. I love the living room. It’s my favourite restaurant in Calgary. The service on our birthday reso was disappointing.Our server was very clueless with the menu and was unable to recommend us a drink and food choices. She never offered to get someone more knowledgeable (my two guests had never been there before so they were very interested to hear about the cooks, the food or the history) and just left us with “well, everything is good here so”. Every interaction was awkward. We always needed water but the servers kept the water on the wall-ledge that sticks out from the wall, instead of our very roomy tables that could have accommodated it, and we could have pour our own water. The wall-water situation was very strange looking, not very fine dining. Very weird.The food was good and it might have felt more worth it if the service was the same. No one went out of their way to say happy birthday to us, even though our reservation was booked as a birthday celebration. No one mentioned anything about it.Living Room, please test your servers regularly. It was a disappointing experience. Not what I would expect at a fine dining experience.I’ve been coming for 5+ years and I have noticed a dip in the restaurants integrity.I made the wrong choice for our birthday celebration as The Living Room didn’t feel very special at all.

This was our second time here. First time we went on Valentine’s Day a couple years ago and had the set menus which was fantastic. We just went back and tried the cheese fondue which was delicious. Service was amazing, drinks were really good too. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Very loud on the patio so opted for indoors. We were seated right next to the private dining section but the booth seat was extremely uncomfortable because it’s curved. I think that section is actually meant for a 4 or 6 top table, not two 2-tops. Service was extremely slow, we waited at least 40 minutes between dishes. A very rowdy stampede-adorned crowd hung out by the bar (not sure why grouped standing guests are allowed) and were basically yelling amongst their group. Giving 4 stars for the benefit of the doubt and hopes that a second visit not during stampede would be better. Food was very good, no complaints there. And server was very kind.

We had a great time at The Living Room on a Saturday night. The service was great. Our cocktails were impeccable; we had gin martinis (filthy, full of olives, with very tasty gins available), the Plum Sour, the Frosty K" Fruit

Dined at The Dining Room as part of the YYC Food Fest, and we had a great experience. We sat in their heated atrium and enjoyed some delicious food with great service. The restaurant is a nice mix of casual and formal tables which we appreciated. Parking can be a bit of a challenge on busy weekends but there is a lot of 2 hour parking on the side streets just north of 17th Ave. We will definitely be back to try the regular menu! (First up will be the charcuterie and cheese fondue as they were by far the most common dishes coming out of the kitchen aside from the prix fixe menu).

Excellent ambience, service a food. We had booked the heated atrium and even in -20 they obliged. The fondue was excellent, the charred toast with dips was divine. We had mock tails and the passion fruit virgin margaritas was good, would have been excellent if served int he right glass.The main course was very good, especially the sweet potato gnocchi and the Cavatelli. My Mom loved the tortellini with Guanciale.

Only giving 3 stars despite our server and food being amazing. Or server deserves 5 stars for sure, she was very attentive, happy and no request was too much for her.We requested to sit on the patio. We didn’t know that as soon as we ordered a private event started next door and us seating by the fireplace sharing the wall meant we would be able to physically feel the music. We’re not ones to complain but it was too much even for us. We asked the hostess if we could move inside and she agreed but sure wasn’t happy about it. We told her that we’re sorry for making her do extra work and apologized multiple times and she ignored us the whole time making it a really awkward experience. Mind you, we were the only customers there at 4:30pm on a Sunday and it was just the 2 of us. Bartender working there left the bar and walked by us burping loudly and not covering his mouth or apologizing. He went back behind the bar and continued the rest of his shift on his phone with his back to everyone (I supposed that’s a good thing considering he likes to let his burps go) only stopping to make our cocktails. As a bartender I can tell you the way he makes his drinks is also lazy. He shook the cocktails and poured them into an empty glass using the same ice he shook the alcohol with instead of using fresh ice and straining the alcohol to not make it taste watered down.The only reason we won’t be back will be because of our server’s lazy coworkers.

What a great place to stop and have a meal.They have a very nice patio that's heated.We had the cheese fondue with sirloin steak for protein. The fondue came with a basket of bread and a plate of veggies. They also gave us potato chips as one we needed a gluten-free option instead of bread.They are pooch friendly!

It’s kind of a cool place. This is the kind of restaurant that has small plates and you just want to share your food. The fondue is properly the main attraction. The price is more on the higher end price range but overall very nice. A good place to go for drinks and just relax. Please make sure you do t have a huge appetite. .
