The service at The 4th Spot was exceptional on this, my first visit. It's a local pub for this cozy Mt Pleasant neighborhood. The harsh early Feb temperatures outside made the cozy, welcoming atmosphere within even more welcoming. There's a $5 Happy Hour menu with personal pizzas, chicken nugget bites variously seasoned, quesadillas, fries, etc. Come between 5 and 6 pm. You may want to come a bit earlier to get a choice of seating as the place quickly fills up. At least, it does on a Friday evening. The food is not bad. Not gourmet, but it's solid, satisfying pub grub at a good value. The beer selection is decent for those who like craft beers. I was pleased to have the Wild Rose cherry porter on tap. It was delicious. The cherry taste was full, rich, and not sweet perfect! My friend chose the Pinot grigio that she enjoyed. We also sampled the Scottish Wee Heavy that was a good representative of the style. It's nice to know that there's a choice of things on tap for those who like heavier, more robust beers. The servers were spot-on with the service. You can tell they know well how to keep the thirsty and hungry patrons fed and watered. What is more impressive is how they kept the great service timing going ever through the very busy Friday night crowd. It was so crowded that one wouldn't fault them at all for any slowdowns, but they did a marvelous job of keeping it all working well, timing wise.
We were wanting a family style restaurant that wasn't a chain during our stay in Calgary, and 4th Spot sounded like it could be a great fit. This is a very cute restaurant. Trendy and fun but also family friendly. The main floor had families and there was also a lounge upstairs for those who prefer a kid free night. The patio is small but gets so much sun and is perfect for a meal too. My friend who lives in town commented that she has drove by so many times but never heard of it. Perhaps a hidden gem! The menu is large with many choices-pizza, pasta, handhelds, tacos, and more. Everyone was happy with their meal. The burning bee pizza had these crispy fried banana peppers that took it to the next level. Carbonara was huge, creamy and savoury. My husband liked his jalapeño mushroom burger very much. My son had a rockstar meal that made my momma heart happy as it was real food! The meatballs had stuffed mozza in the middle and the portion rivalled an adult portion. We would happily dine here again. The only small point of disappointment we had was our appetizer of dumplings came out and we had no cutlery or dishes. We tried to get someone's attention for a few minutes and my friend had to do the thing that no one likes but wave someone down as the food was getting cold. The person who brought out the food looked at the table so was just surprised about that. Our actual server was very lovely but also very busy. This wouldn't make us not return though as everything was really tasty.
So we went to this pub for my moms 60 birthday. Went on Monday had pizza. We waited 48 mins for 3 pizza and it wasn't busy maybe 7 tables in the whole place. Not only was the service absolutely terrible. When you finally saw a staff member you had to flag them down . After placing our order all the staff just vanished leaving all the patrons looking for their server/ staff. People stood at the door no joke over 15 mins. 4 party's of 2 . Then get burnt pizza. Are you kidding me for my moms 60 birthday. What a joke. I had a thing of flowers for her it was obviously it was for an occasion. It was absolutely a terrible experience. Why on earth would I spend my hard earned $$ there when the service is better at home.
came here on a Friday at 5:30 was already really busy. It's kinda like a Boston pizza very family friendly. Waited 10 mins for a table but the food took 30 mins to come out we ordered lasagna and ravioli... BUT WORTH THE WAIT! If you are a vegetarian their mushroom truffle ravioli. It's a really great alternative to moxies butternut squash ravioli which is still my all time favourite but this is definitely runner up. You definitely taste that truffle and the crunch of the sliced almonds and broccoli stems are perfect. I definitely recommend asking for extra Parmesan on top hehe that nutty element is perfect. The lasagne tastes very similar to Boston pizza nothing extra ordinary but a solid 8/10. There is so much more yummy stuff on their menu I can't wait to try so definitely will come back here maybe on a less busy day.
Found this place in my new neighborhood. Great first impression as I walked in. Took a seat at a very clean and organized bar. Had a great conversation with Olivia. She gave me the history of the place. I do remember Karouzo's Pizza. After looking at the menu and getting Olivia's thoughts I chose the inferno prawns. I was not disappointed. Certainly can see going back real soon. Great find.

Really enjoyed this casual family-friendly spot for Canadian cuisine. The menu has a lot of options and the food is delicious. We loved the coconut garlic wings, ribs, and classic poutine. Our server kept checking that we had everything we needed, the dining space is really clean and welcoming. I'd skip the banh mi bite appetizer, the thin toast cracker and pork belly just didn't go well together here. read more

What a fabulous place!!!!! Took my parents last night and they talked about it being; Karouzo's . The food was awesome. Hats off to the chef and his staff. Presentation was beautiful. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The waiter we had was Billy!!!! He did an outstanding job. Very friendly and outgoing waiter. The staff that assisted him throughout our meal were terrific as well. Thank you for making our Sunday dinner out so enjoyable. We will be back. read more

Came to 4th Spot on a Saturday for Lunch. I've been to 4th Spot a few times before. I like this cozy neighborhood pub/restaurant. The parking is limited to a small parking lot in the rear, and street, parking. The restaurant is well appointed and fairly large. We decided to eat in the lounge/bar area, and the place was fairly full. Regardless our server was over quickly to take drink order. The food menu is fairly extensive with a variety of burgers/sandwiches as well as pizzas. I decided to go with the Notorious PIG sandwich, my wife with just a 4th spot burger. Our food took a bit longer to come out than what I would have thought (ie: more than 20 mins). However, the first bites were very good. The portion sizes were decent. Not huge, but not small either. Although for the price, it's definitely a bit high. Overall, The service is good, nothing stellar. Our server seemed to be fairly new, and I'm thinking that with time he'll be very good. The food is better than average for a pub, but I'd argue that you can find better value (Read: Not cheap eats). Our service, albeit good, again it was not stellar. All combined - 4th Spot is good but has some small misses to hit the Top Spot. read more

Came here on a Friday night. We used the Nowait app and it went flawlessly (still had to wait a bit since we got there early). I had the kitchen sink penne with a daily soup (tomato). The soup was far from being a regular boring old tomato soup. I think the tomatoes were smoked or roasted which gave the soup alot of depth and definitely kicked it up a notch. The pasta dish was a good size and filling. There was a ton of things going on since it was everything but the kitchen sink, however I could've done away with the meatloaf since I felt like texturally it was out of place and ended up just breaking apart. My gf ordered the chipotle fried avocado burger and upgraded the side to french onion soup. We both saw pictures of the french onion soup and decided we had to try it. We were not disappointed at all. The puff pastry on top kept the soup hot and also kept the pastry flaky. The soup itself was not overly salty (alot of places over-reduce their soup) and the sweetness of the onions went well with the cheese curds. Definitely a must-get item at this place. The burger was good although I couldn't really taste the chipotle aioli. We also ordered a Pimm's cup. It was very watered down and didn't taste like anything, however they were nice enough to swap it out for a beer instead. Our companions also ordered a Caesar and a white wine peach sangria. They also found the drinks to be watered down, so perhaps skip the cocktails and stick to the wine/beers here. Our companions also ordered a pizza, however they told us that it was dropped in the kitchen before it could come. So they took it off their bill which was nice of them, however it was a very long wait for the rest of us and we were basically done eating by the time they received their pizza. I'll be back for their upscale bar food and pair it with their french onion soup. They have some additional parking in the back if it gets busy as well. read more

Half priced wing and wine Wednesdays? Sign me up! Better yet, you don't need to sign up for anything. You just show up and order a bottle of wine for half the price. It's THAT simple. 4th spot is kind of like a local, non-chain version of Joey's (What was Joey Tomatoes, not to be confused with the fish n chips place.) Ok caveman dieters - there are salads and then there are SALADS. If your idea of the perfect salad is actually hearty steak dinner on top of a bed of leaves just for fun, you gotta check out the Matadore Salad. This thing is 2 large BBQ skewers loaded up with marinated steak, peppers and onions, a good size chunk of grilled focaccia and feta. Now that's a meal! But just to be nice, they drop all of that on a pile a lettuce and mixed greens. This was possibly the first time in my life I've asked to have my salad packed up to go. There's a dining room as soon as you walk in but if you left the kids at home and are 18+ I think you'll find the upstairs lounge is a little nicer of a place to hang out. They have booths and the whole area just feels a little more cozy. If you can find your house on the gigantic wall map, they'll let you mark it with a shiny star sticker. A fun game after a few half priced bottles of wine. :) read more
My parents wanted me to check out this place for a while so we headed here tonight for dinner. Inside is a very updated interior with dark mood lit walls. The menu was excellent, there were choices like Poutine on the appetizers. Salad choices offered a variety as well as pasta dishes, sandwiches, meatloaf, burgers, pizzas and features each night. Tuesday is apparently Pasta night and you can get half price pasta on all the regular dishes. One night is Big Rock night, Friday, and you get a deal on beer that night too. I had the Steakout sandwich and the 6 oz of sirloin was amazingly tender, it has been a really long time since I had a steak from Alberta and it was so good. I had the choice to have fries or salad etc and chose the Caesar, it had small bits of bacon so for the veggies out there make sure you hold the bacon ;) Some of the other choices eaten at our table were excellent burger and a pasta dish that arrived with lots of tomatoes and various vegetables, the presentation on the all dishes was excellent. The burger came with lots of fries and a side of gravy and the burger was huge. Steak sandwich with the side salad is a filling but some might feel light dish as they don't do all that garnish type stuff on the plate. It was perfect for me, but some folks if they are really hungry might have felt the side of fries was a better choice. When you pay they also have wireless Debit machines ;) Love these modern options (rarely do you see this in the city I live unless you are at an open air market) read more

Food looked awesome but was lacking flavour. I got the drums n mac but subbed the mac for fries. Drums were fried crispy and hot but the coating needed some salt and seasoning. The maple syrup was a nice touch but was the only flavour punch. It came with an apple Cole slaw that had absolutely no flavour! There were other veggies, corn on the cob and asparagus, that were equally boring in taste. Odd thing is while my chicken was piping hot, my fries were merely room temperature. Prices are very high for the quality and quantity of food. Not sure if I'll be back or not, still on the fence with this place. read more

I've been coming here since it was reinvented. Formerly Caruso's, an excellent pizza place, 4th spot carries on the excellent pizza tradition. It has beautiful decor that is starting to see some wear, notedly the paint by the hostess station. Fortunately the chalkboard illustrations around the restaurant draw your eyes there. We had decent service but it was much slower and less attentive than I'm used to there. It was busy for sure (20 min wait for a table on a Saturday night isn't bad) but not busy enough to warrant the gaps in service. We were there to kick off Poutine Week so we checked out the three varieties and then asked our server if all of them go towards the Mealshare purpose of the Week. He didn't know anything about Poutine Week, even though its been published for weeks in magazines that it was happening. We got it sorted out though. He told us the Butchers Shoppe poutine was a big portion that was a good starter for us to share. False! This amazingly delicious poutine was humongous. With two very hungry people we still had a hard time finishing it. When the burger we ordered to share arrived, we laughed and asked for it to go. That poutine though, its delicious. Shaved beef, Spolumbos sausage, bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce. The only thing it needs it more fries. The topping to fry ratio was a wee bit lacking. Still good though! I give 4 stars because I have had consistent good service there over the years and the food is stellar. If you're a pasta or mushroom lover, you need to try the Mushroom Ravioli. Warning, contains almonds and deliciousness. Avoid if you're allergic to either! read more
