Super slow service and WAY overpriced drinks. I believe these are the worst bar staff in Cochrane…read more Have seen the bar staff be rude to patrons and have seen situations where they arbitrarily ban people they do not like (beware crossing Brittany or Shawn, overlords of a crap bar!) and create bogus reasons for the bans perpetuity, even after being caught in a lie. Observed over serving drunk patrons. The bar owner decided he doesn't care because he owns other bars in Calgary. The owner is not local and let the staff do whatever they want because they do not come out to see what they are doing. Like the environment, its okay for a dive bar... do not like the staff and will NOT go into this establishment unless they get rid of the poor staffing. I would visit ANY location in Cochrane besides this place, there are WAY better options with lower pricing and staff that actually care and pay attention. Have seen their staff in altercations at other bars in Cochrane too, they think they own this town.

Dropped in just prior to a Flames game. Kate was our server…read moreand she did a wonderful job. We started with appetizers-- shishito peppers, shrimp toasties, beef tartare and calamari. Each of them good, your guess on which pepper was going to be spicy. Good flavor with some spicy surprises. The shrimp toastie was pretty good, the bread ratio to shrimp was a tad high. The calamari was really good, excellent tomato sauce that included guanciale (nice treat). The best appetizer of the night was for sure the tartare. The flavors and preparation was spot on. I had the trout for dinner, it had a crusted brioche on top of nice creamy potatoes. The trout was cooked perfectly and had great flavors. Good spot to drop in for a solid meal.

We arrived and were immediately seated, only one other patron at ~6PM. a sign? The waitress was very pleasant, brought us water and took our appetizer order - Abe's dumplings starter. Magnificent massive dumplings done in an unusual deep fry, with dipping sides of vinegar and sweet chili sauce. My better half went with their tomato basil soup and a philly cheese steak. She was very pleased with both. I had the Mudhead and fries. The Mudhead is a unique variation of hot hamburger sandwich, on a bun 2-sided, cheese, all drenched in peppercorn mushroom gravy. As I write this review the day after I am salivating for another Mudhead! If you're in Airdrie this place is a must-go.

I went to this place on 17th Ave. going to take out my service dog for a steak dinner and…read moreappreciation for his work for the month. I usually go to Earls, which is an amazing place on Stephen Avenue with great hospitality and amazing food selections. I walked into the national and they requested an outside seat because it was a beautiful day. The female staff member identified my canine as a female and asked what was her name. I stated Yep he is a male and his name is Goliath.. From that point on, I was treated with severe aggression and hostility by the staff members The waitress that approached my table was hostile in nature and when I explained to her that I wanted a regular Caesar if they made one, I would love one she was offended. I explained that a lot of places have a house style Caesar and I was looking for a normal style Caesar, and if they provided it complete aggression and attitude in her tone and how she addressed me. she then performs the worst duty of all, which is falsifying a report to a police officer. She had her superiors, called the police and stated that I threatened her with my service dog. There is no action on this of me, threatening her. There is no threat to her there is no hostility, and I recorded the whole thing with my glasses . Big shout out to Ray and Maia, with these glasses, I was able to prove my case and clearly clarify any questions at the Police we're having in regards to the accusation. Seven police officers showed up at my table after I had enjoyed a Caesar and was joyfully offered another by the mail manager. The table beside me was having a great conversation with me. They were a family from the US who were coming to Canada, and I was explaining to them the wonderful things I could see such as the Calgary stampede that was coming up. I explained and showed off of metal. My dog was given by a paramedic for the great service that he provides, and we were having a wonderful conversation before the police showed up. I own a service animal training company and promote my business through word-of-mouth . ! This was sheer defamation of character, belligerent, and lies, false accusations, and the worst service I have ever received in any of the establishments I've visited in the city If you are choosing a place to go to, I recommend you avoid the cra and abrasive nature of this one

In fact, he put together a sangria that was the perfect combination of wine and fruit and refreshingness for a hot day! Dylan was training a bartender and we got to witness his knowledge as he helped her out. The ambiance of National is very cool. It feels upscale and friendly at the same time. I'll definitely be back, if not this trip, the next!

I have only been to one revolving restaurant before to compare, and I loved it! Sabrina was our server. She timed everything perfectly so we never felt rushed. We started with a sky cosmo and a classic martini. Perfection. Next came the crispy fried eggplant and the scallops. I also got a side of mashed potatoes. Nothing was left on our plates and everything was so beautifully prepared. One of the best meals I've ever had. Because we were on vacation, we splurged on dessert. Oh. Em. Gee. The London fog cake and crème brûlée are absolutely decadent and worth every calorie. Instead of riding, just walk back to your hotel, it will be fine. Keep in mind they do have a time limit for your visit of about an hour and half. The movement of the floor takes an hour to completely revolve 360 degrees, slow and steady, and those Canadian Rockies in the distance are amazing. Afterwards I absolutely had to pay the extra fee to get to the top which was so worth it. Signs and pictures with arrows showing you exactly what you are looking at, as well as some history, made it very educational and fun. Reservations are accepted at the restaurant which I recommend. Make this a stop if you are in Calgary.
