Wow, what can I say, our server Joe who handled our table of 17 like a champ, was unreal! All of his knowledge on everything on the menu was incredible (especially for our few vegans) the drinks were never empty and all delicious we tried almost every cocktail on the menu (the plum) was my favorite. Half off appies made it super affordable for such a large group because we basically shared everything. Also the scallops were AMAZING! I would eat them everyday if I could!! I would absolutely recommend hitting this easy going yet classy vibed place up! � I know I'll be back!
Our server (can't remember his name) was amazing and explained the menu very well! We went for a girls night and loved it! Great atmosphere and even better dinning experience:)
They have opened up the patio, have a great seating area along the railing for people watching or more intimate tables on the patio. Great new menu for the summer, Went for happy hour, had a number of appi's. Dinner last week was great
Stopped by for a Martini the other night. Fantastic. Tony. I will be back
If you are going by late night pop in for the famous SHAFT. If you have to ask, you have to try it.
Can't wait to go back.
If anyone was to ask where I’d like to go, I will most likely suggest The Living Room! The service is impeccable and the food is outstanding. Their beef tartare is still my favourite. Finish off with a chocolate fondue as dessert. What more can you ask for?? Oh yeah, a really great wine selection! It’s busy here and for good reason!!
I’m very impressed with this place! I ordered through DoorDash and initially the arancini I ordered didn’t come. I called the restaurant and they were very apologetic, and said it accidentally hadn’t been packaged with the rest of the order. They had a waiter head out and I had the item within 20 minutes, and they threw in a couple extra for the trouble. They also made a small change because of a dietary restriction and the taste was still great. Awesome level of service!
The packaging of food was excellent - I ordered tartare and they packaged a container of it surrounded by ice!
The food quality was excellent too. I’d definitely order again, and might have to actually venture down to 17th to check it out!
Wow! We must have came on a good night because our experience does not match that of most people. The food that came to our table on this night was fantastic. Every dish was well thought out, unique and down right delicious. Yea the portions may be be on the smaller side and yes it is expensive...but to me great food and impeccable service makes it all worth it.
This is some of the best service in Calgary. I was there for a celebration recently and we were treated as though we were the only two people in the room. The oysters were fantastic, the tartare is one of the best in the city and this is the best spot for an interactive dining experience. Always a go-to on a special occasion!!
The best thing about Big Taste is that gives you a chance to explore restaurants and dishes you would usually find intimidating or too expensive. When Matt and I saw the Living Room on the list of options, we jumped at the chance to book a table at the fancy place we walk by on our usual expeditions down 17th Ave.
Our favourite go to restaurant. Best beef tartare in the city!!! And I have tried them all. Amazing truffle cheese fondue too. Wonderful service and ambience.
Good food and good service. I came with a big group and we shared five dishes and a few bottles of wine. The intimate atmosphere was really great, and I would love to return for a date night and try the outdoor eating area next.
Not sure why there are so many poor reviews for this restaurant, we had a spectacular lunch here today. It was a late lunch so the restaurant was deserted... Prompt and efficient service for drinks and meals. Two of us had the spaghetti bolognese and we both agreed it was some of the best we've ever had, homemade pasta with bolognese and sausage. The third in our group had chicken with dumplings and that had rave reviews as well.
Last Friday marked the kick off of the Big Taste 2016. If you’re in need of a little background info, or perhaps feeling overwhelmed by the list of participants, check out my previous post here on my 2016 recommendations. With dollars saved and reservations booked, Cole & I were ready to kick it off with a bang.
Really enjoyable service and excellent food. Everything tasted amazing, fresh and flavourful. The tartare and coconut margarita are worth trying. The watermelon salad was surprisingly good and refreshing.
Two colleagues going for dinner from out of town, I regularly visit the living room when I’m travelling to Calgary. I love bringing colleagues here as the flavours and flavour pairings are absolutely incredible! The beef tartare is absolutely fabulous as well as the chips that it’s paired with. It makes for an interesting flavour and texture combo that is to die for! Definitely try the cheese fondu with the pork rinds! I mean pork rinds on their own are natures Dorito, And dipping them in cheese makes it even better! Service was fantastic as always! We loved the chocolate fondue dessert as well. Can’t wait to come back!
Went for our anniversary dinner and was not disappointed. Our server was great! Sat on their spacious patio and enjoyed a wonderfully cooked meal. A must - the cheese fondue!! 100% The Ahi tuna was amazing, and to finish, the chocolate fondue. Couldn't get better! Thanks!
This place has a great patio to people watch. We got the beef tartare and it was insanely good. The staff were friendly and the bar made us some great drinks.
We came for an amazing anniversary dinner. If you have kids like us I would suggest coming earlier for some privacy as it will get busier later. Great staff, amazing suggestions for plates. We will be back for the fondue.
We passed by this place. As we were tired and hungry, couldn’t afford “wandering “ around looking for restaurant. So we just walked in. It was Friday, we got a table wIthout waiting😚.
Surprisingly we found fondue on menu. Cheese lovers must try. A chic spot, serving upscale French and Italian cuisine. Just the lady next table was talking and laughing out really loud that had a bit disturbance. Otherwise it was a nice dining experience.
Wonderful experience with private dining! Very accommodating and easy to work with staff! Tried the braised beef short rib and the duck breast which were both done excellently. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, will definitely be back again!
Fantastic menu that never disappoints. Some of the best service in the city, consistently. Amazing hospitality every single time. We had a guest that was celiac and they went over and above accommodating her! Nothing to complain about other than maybe the comfort level of the seats for a long period of time but if you drink enough your back doesn’t hurt anymore!
