We saw they were going to open at 11am, and decided to try our luck by getting there right at opening since we didn't have a reservation. We got lucky and got seated right away! - PARKING - Street parking, make sure you take note of how long you paid for! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The ambiance inside is so nice and airy, with greenery and natural light shining through. There's also a super cute swing area next to the bar area that you can sit. I really liked the overall interior design! The staff was very attentive for our large party throughout our meal. There are bathrooms downstairs as well. - FOOD - Bacon Jam Benedict ($20.00): Loved the flavor combination in this! The sweet savory maple bacon jam worked so well! We upgraded to the fried potatoes ($4.00) and they were pretty tasty. Carrot Cake French Toast ($24.00): We got one to share with the table, and I'm glad we didn't commit because it was just OK to me. I wish there was more mascarpone filling, and also a different sauce than chocolate because it didn't pair well for me. Winter Nights ($19.00): We wanted to get some greens in and chose this salad. I enjoyed the mix of greens and also the fennel salami which gave a salty bite! Truffle Parm Fries ($13.00): We also got this to share with the table and you can't go wrong with these! - OVERALL - Great brunch option if you have a small or large group! Really nice airy ambiance for a nice start to your day.

We usually don't expect much from airport hotel restaurants, but this place far exceeded our…read moreexpectations. It was genuinely one of the best hotel dining experiences I've had. We stayed at the Marriott for an early morning flight and decided to eat dinner at the restaurant on site. We started with Sunday martinis, which were well-sized and well-made, followed by a bottle of wine. The wine list isn't extensive or especially high-end, but we easily found something we enjoyed. For food, we ordered the baked brie with local berries to start...absolutely incredible. My husband had the pasta special with egg noodles w/ fried steak, which he said was perfectly cooked and outstanding. I had the vegetarian chili, which was just as impressive: deeply flavorful with unique spices, not overly spicy, and the plant-based protein paired really well with the beans. I'd love to try recreating it at home. One thing I especially appreciated was the honesty from our bartender. We initially considered the charcuterie and cheese board without the charcuterie part, but he openly explained it was mostly charcuterie and suggested we try the brie instead. That level of transparency stood out and was refreshing. Overall, this meal completely exceeded expectations. I would absolutely go back, even though it requires two flights and a full travel day to return. I wish chefs in our area would be as creative and inventive.

GOOD RESTAURANT INSIDE THE CALGARY AIRPORT…read more During an overnight stay at the Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel, we dropped by the lobby restaurant, Yakima Social Kitchen & Bar. Not expecting much from airport food, we were pleasantly surprised by our meals here. Service on both visits was friendly and attentive. Even with a mostly empty restaurant, the kitchen was a bit slow but we would rather wait for a hot freshly prepared meal than get quickly served something that has been sitting under a heat lamp or microwaved. For dinner, we ordered (all prices CAD): Thai Vegetable Soup & Glass Noodles ($15) and Yakima Alberta Beef Burger ($27). The burger was a large thick burger served hot off the grill with a green salad side (upcharge $3). Skip the Asian-inspired soup that resembled a thin tomato soup with little or no curry paste or coconut milk. For breakfast, we shared the Yakima omelet platter ($23 plus an extra egg $4). The well-stuffed four-egg omelet was packed with mushroom, ham and cheese. An unexpected highlight of the breakfast platter was the delicious breakfast potatoes - large chunks of well-seasoned white, purple and sweet potatoes. Tip: if you have a long layover, drop by Yakima Social for a bite and then relax in the adjacent large comfortable hotel lobby lounge. A multi-story floor-to-ceiling glass wall separates the hotel lobby from a busy airport walkway ensuring a quiet retreat from the chaos of airport travel.

**Decent overall, but missed the mark on execution and service consistency.**…read more We were searching for Japanese food near our Airbnb, and Donkari popped up. The menu reminded me of some of my favorite Bay Area spots, like Gochi, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 6 PM to a fully packed house, which is usually a great sign of a successful restaurant. **What we ordered:** Tempura udon, salmon sashimi, buta yaji don (pork bowl), and ice cream. My daughter absolutely loved her meal and is already demanding we come back. Seeing her so happy with the food was a huge win, and I'd be more than willing to return just for her. For me, however, the experience was a mixed bag. I purposely ordered the buta yaki don because it's always a great test of how a kitchen handles pork. Unfortunately, the execution wasn't 100% right. The meat seemed to just be pan-fried, leaving a blatant, unfiltered pork smell. I hope it could have been marinated more to get rid of the smell. Overall, it's a decent spot, and we will be returning for sure!

My friends and I got and shared the Katsu udon, classic gyu don, and karaage curry. Every single dish was a banger; I especially loved the gyu don with perfectly seasoned beef and the rice soaking up the sauce. I liked that each dish came with a couple side dishes like tofu, tempura egg, or miso soup. Everything was priced around $18-23. The service was also very friendly; we raved about how delicious the food was, and our server seemed delighted to hear that. So here's your chance to go try the food out and tell her the same thing!
