If I could give zero stars I would. The staff was snarky and rude. I will not be retuning in the future. Do better.

Drinks: Cucumber Salad - fantastic, slightly tart with refreshing cucumber, perfectly balanced, with a touch of savoriness from the sesame oil, loved this drink Staycation - sweet, creamy with notes of pineapple, coconut and rum, really rich but delicious if you like a sweeter cocktail Food: Banh Xeo - so good, super crispy crepe, filled with shrimp, pork and bean sprouts, we made little lettuce wraps and dipped it in the fish sauce Lemongrass chicken - comforting and delicious, chicken was well seasoned, tender and juicy served with rice and veggies, really enjoyed the staff meal Passion fruit coconut cookies ice cream sandwich - sweet but tasty, coconut cookies had a nice chew and a great texture, passion fruit ice cream was creamy and rich with mild passion fruit flavor, decadent dessert Service was great, friendly and welcoming. Water was refilled throughout our meal and pacing was solid. Overall love our visit to paper lantern, great food and drinks with a nice variety of options! Definitely worth a visit to this fun Vietnamese speakeasy.

I made a reservation (admittedly same day in the morning) and arrived to a packed right up to the…read moredoor waiting "area" with no way to make anyone aware we were there as there was barely space to breathe, and had anyone wanted to leave we would all have had to go back outside to allow it (to give you an idea of how small the space was). After about 10 minutes we were close enough to see a server and say a reservation name, she asked for a moment, and walked off, fair, then came back and asked the party one before us who were seated nearby to get up and move elsewhere, which i have literally never seen anyone do and was frankly shocked that they would do that, nevermind in front of us. Unfortunatly this set the tone for the entire visit. A server did come over fairly quickly and ask if we had drink orders, but two of our party are not from Canada so were restricted to WiFi, of which there isnt a public password available anywhere and the menus are QR based, which i do appreciate given the changing menu, however there should be at least one hard copy available for situations exactly like this. After this we waited around for a wifi password which allowed one more of our party to connect, but the last member was still unable to throughout the entire visit, for no obvious reason. Around 40 minutes into our visit we were finally blessed with another visit from a server (they dont have set tables and only the first introduced herself so i dont have names) she was INCREDIBLY rude when taking our drink order and seemed generally inconvinienced by our presence, she also asked for a flavour choice on a drink (from our non menu bearing member) and she had missed that there was a choice, and therefore said she wasnt sure sorry, the server made zero effort to list the options (i have seen servers list less options from more packed menus) and again was incredibly rude about it. After this interaction she also made us aware that the second table for two our party of four was using, "needed to be kept empty" and directed us to share one single table for two, and i mean a table for two here, between us four. Two in the booth seating side (which blocked anyone getting to said empty table) and two on two chairs, which even when shoved right up against the edge of the next raised seatinf area, did not fit side by side at the table leaving one party member half between the empty table and the parties table. It should be noted this extra table remained completely empty throughout our visit, and no reason was stated (if it was to be clear to get large drink presentations to tables/reserved/they just wanted to see if they could). The menu does state that drinks may take a while to arrive, however, we ordered one of the "specialty" drinks, 3 regular menu drinks and four shots, and i feel an hour and a half into our visit we should have at least seen the shots. BUT those came last. The non alcoholic mojito (lime flavour) tasted like concentrated lime juice, no sign of the mint the menu also states it has, the non alcoholic butterbeer, was 90% ice and tasted like watered down whatever they were aiming for, deff nothing special and not anything id have said was butterbeer based on the thousand recipies out there, what I ve made myself, and what ive had at any other HP themed places. Pistachio bourbon wasnt mixed or given anyway to mix, so it was a layer of syrup in the bottom of the glass and then the bourbon so didnt really give the desired effect. Honestly extremely dissapointing given the prices. In the hour and a half we were waiting for our drink order, nobody had checked if we wanted to order food, infact it was difficult to even get a server unless we were willing to walk over to the other end of the crowded bar to where there were servers chatting with each other. We chose to use this as a sign to NOT order food and go elsewhere. Once we asked for our bill, the server suddenly became very chatty, and friendly, honestly it was like a full personality transplant occured, wonder why! They were out of paper to print a reciept and showed it to us at a distance on the tablet they have, unable to clearly see a total i have no idea if we were subject to the 20% gratuity mentioned, nor do we have a copy for ourselves, the menu does mention this applies to parties of 6, however reviews imply its added regardless. So overall we spent almost 2 hours, spent over $110 for subpar drinks and horrific service. The place itself looks vaguely harry potter, but like, harry potter walked into a christmas tree and lost the fight. It was hard to see the main draw of the bar (the theme) through ALL the christmas decor, lights and neon wall lighting, which was dissapointing. I had been waiting for a long time to come here specifically with my HP loving family, and this was very much not it. The huge tv playing christmas movies directly in my face on the wall deff didnt help the ambiance, and the cold draft every time the door opened, and servers

Very atmospheric, but horrible service. I don't want to wait 10+ minutes for a drink, or over an…read morehour for food. Food wasn't even good, cold burger, cold fries. I could tell right away that my burger wasn't fresh, easily could tell it was frozen/store bought.

We went to Flores and Pine for a meal with another couple that I did not know very well. As a…read moreresult I did not want to be "that guy" and raise an issue at the restaurant and even if we were on our own, I likely still don't raise the issue but just simply not return to the restaurant. We dine out a lot so this was not a case of not having comparables. Service was very pleasant and attentive. 3 out of 4 meals were fine. All salmon based dishes that were enjoyed. The fourth was the Alberta Lamb Top Sirloin. I wish I would have taken a picture of the meal. The price was $62 for the entree which I find is in line with mid to higher end restaurants in Calgary and expected. What was surprising was that the entree consisted of two pieces of lamb that each would be slightly above the size of a golf ball. I actually cut it into small pieces just so that it would last longer. There were a couple of slices of potatoes and a small amount of seasonal vegetables. In my head I was saying, "seriously" or "that's it". I would say that since Covid occurred, prices at restaurants have risen about 40% higher and given that we still dine out quite a bit, I have been accustomed to this new pricing but I simply would not return to Flores and Pine given the complete lack of value. It is a shame because the room and ambience was nice and this restaurant had been on our list to try since it has opened. I don't believe I have ever written a review of a restaurant and I have certainly have had worse meals at a restaurant but these were likely at a pub or chain restaurant where I have few expectations. Anyway, as mentioned the other 3 in our party enjoyed their meals and it was only I that had an issue.

Disappointing. The appetizers arrived before the wine was even opened. The fries were luke warm…read moreand only 2 slices of bread for 3 people. My guests order sirloin and bison. They were very pleased with their meals. I ordered the Icelandic Fish which was cod. Very small piece on a bed of Luke warm shredded fennel and onion. 2 patties of something that had been grilled but were cold. The plate was also cold so everything was a disappointment. The dessert was a small tablespoon of fresh fruit on the whipped egg white wasn't even close to a serving. At $18, it was not value for money. The wines were good, but we were refilling our own glasses, which was poor service for a meal at a rop restaurant. When one pays $500 for a meal for 3 people, one expects top line. This was not.
