Our bartender and server Val and Taylor made us feel completely at home, from when the restaurant was quiet through when things got busy. They gave great recommendations on drinks, as well as suggestions on where else we should check out in Calgary. The food was delicious and just what we needed, especially the oysters and the bavarese dessert (recommended by Val). Cannot recommend enough and kudos to the staff for their service.

Not many bottles are older than 10 years, but a number of suppliers provide pretty much the rarest new stuff available in the region. Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music. Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here. Oh, and they have Les Robarts by Suenen. I had to visit four wine stores in Champagne to get two bottles of that. Good luck finding that anywhere else.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.

Though it's on the pricey side for lunch. My friend had the tiger rose pasta and it was amazing! The prawns are gigantic! I think she got at least 6. Not bad for $ 23(?). I got the flatbread she recommended. BBQ chicken. I would never had ordered this as I am not a huge fan of chicken on my pizza. We both finished our entire meals. Definitely would come back

The Spring Rolls weren't fried I believe so don't have that much crunch but still very good and appreciate the healthy unfried version of one of my favorite dishes. The linguine was very well cooked and with a lot of Mediterranean flavors and comes with a bread, which was alright (wish it was toasted and fresher)

Unfortunately they did not carry the glasses to the table which were filled with paid sparkling water. Instead offered more for purchase and new glasses. Not professional. We also realized quite quickly our waitress must be new. She had none of the answers to the menu questions we asked. In top of the slow and poor service the noice level between the music and the other guest was mind numbing. They must do something about the sound that carries in the room. Not one person at our table finished or enjoyed the food. We feel the chef must have overpowered everything with salt. This was a fail. 3 starts for the nice staff

When they served the dish, I was disappointed to find out it was over-cooked to medium. After asking the waitress to reorder the steak, it still came back as medium with just the middle section to be medium rare. Since the other four people already finished their meal, I quickly finished half of it. The manager came over to ask about the steak, but did not really apologized for overcooking this $55 CAN steak. Definitely not recommend coming to this place for steak.

Oakley was our server and he was so kind and informative about the menu and how the restaurant operates. The oyster of the week were the Melpeque's which starts off salty, but compensates the saline flavor with a boom of sea mineral richness. Their house relish and vinegar combined with the oysters intensified the experience and we also had to get the Oysters Florentine which were also decadent and cheesy in the best way possible. Oakley checked in on use occasionally and was also kind enough to give us (since we're Californians) some of the usual things that take place in Calgary (weather, places to check out and etc.) Definitely returning here if we make another trip to Calgary, shout out to Oakley!

When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted right away but even though we had reservations there was some talk about where to sit us. The main dining was near full and so they offered patio or upstairs. It would be more private upstairs as there was no one up there but they warned us that service was slow. Eventually, they sat us in a booth in the main dining area but it was touch and go in the beginning. Not a great impression. Our server mentioned to us that he was new. We found him very friendly and knowledgeable. We came here for the oysters - we ordered 1 Irish Point, 1 Fanny Bay and 2 Malpeque (I wanted to try one). The Malpeque also was the feature Oyster which means they are $1.50 each. I don't usually eat oysters but thought it was good. My wife says the Irish Point and Fanny Bay were good. Because the Malpeque was good and really meaty we ordered 7 more (I wanted one more). Oysters 5* Lamb Shank 4* - Wife ordered this and said it was tender and good. Lamb Burger 2* - Daughter ordered this and patty was small and dry. Lobster Pasta 4* - Son ordered this and lobster tail was meaty and sweet ad pasta was tender. I decided to order 3 appetizers for my meal. Onion Rings - 3* - basic Korean Spicy Chicken Wings 4* - Good kick, but the wings were not that meaty. Seafood Chowder 4* - Lots of things in the chowder. Broth was flavourful but could have been thicker. Service before we got our meals (ordering) and during our meal was great. 5*. Getting the bill and getting our leftovers packed was a little slow. 3*. Decor inside was quite nice - old world feel. We may not come back for dinner but maybe for the Oysters, some appetizers, and drinks.

The menu mainly had about three options of BBQ flavored meat. There was also Steak sandwich, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Soup, Salad and Sandwich options. I went for the Soup and Sandwich. The meal was okay, nothing spectacular. The Bar is a small local bar, the town is not very big so there was about five or so people sitting at the bar. The local town people who were at the bar were friendly and we joked around a little with them before we left. The service was slow considering how many people were in the bar but she was friendly. The T.V. was grainy and not very clear. The bathroom was clean, one private bathroom for each sex. There is not many options of places to eat in Nanton, the Bar was okay considering the size of the town but I will try another place if I am coming through Nanton again.
