Sure, I would much rather have had a Hudson Bay or Louis Vuitton bag in hand. But, how could I say "no" to the young woman? Her efforts (or mine) resulted in buy one get one coupon to the casino restaurants for me. The buffet didn't look appealing. So with my Dollarama bags in hand, we marched to the receptionist out front of Halley's Club. It was then that we learned that Halley's Club was a supper club and showcase theater with a live band. We were given a table on the second floor with a great view of the stage and singers. The food? We ordered a beef Wellington, a salmon, and a chicken Parmesan. I don't think we cared for any of the food we ordered. The beef was kind of tasteless. The Chicken sauce was acidic. My daughter didn't eat too much of it. The salmon was probably the best dish since the others were so bad. Service was good. I know my waitress saw my Dollarama bag. The snide comment about the Dollarama bag from the waitress never came. She did a great job keeping our cups filled, and cleared our dishes as needed. The music was okay. They had some lounge singers doing their thing, and they did it for about an hour before taking a break. I liked it even though I thought the food was bad. The Halley was a good experience for my family and I. I'm glad they let teenagers in there up till 10 PM. We liked watching the singers. If there is a next time, hopefully I am not wearing chanclas and holding onto a Dollarama bag. 4 stars for the experience.

I mean where else can you go for a 9 piece band entertainment as you stuff your face? Dressed to impress and starved to enjoy each bite, this Thursday girls night was going to get as rowdy as a Thursday can go. We headed out pretty late for dinner around 7:30, with the assumption being a weeknight we wouldn't need reservations. It didn't seem too busy once we got in, but we still got sat on the far end towards the washroom and directly in view of a pillar with the stage. The booth was huge so we managed to scooch over a little bit to all have a decent view of the side stage. White night Special Sangria - ($13) - Brownie points already because they had 3 different sangria's on and that all sounded oh-so very tantalizing. the white night was my choice and with the addition of white rum, this tasted super strong compared to the other choice but went down super easy. Pink Sangria - ($13) - A lighter flavor, with strong taste of peach. Really enjoyed this one and presentation wise, they made each glass look so classy and picturesque. Garlic Parmesan Fries - (7) - This was BOMB. But, biased review from me with anything /fries dressed with garlic and parm. I'd order this, again and again and again. Beef Wellington - ($29) My first wellington, ever. After being an avid Ramsay enthusiast. As soon as I saw it on the menu, I knew i needed to live out my boujie ways. Asked for medium rare and the delivered steak was moist and had the perfect chew. The steak sauce drizzled just enough added flavor to not take away from the steak. Steak Au Poivre - ($28) - Opted for medium done. I'm not even going to give my opinion on this but YES. She enjoyed it. Chicken Parmesan - ($26) - Had a few bites from this and I liked that the chicken still had a bit of its crispness, tomato sauce with the spaghetti also had a bold flavor which was nice carbs paired with the chicken. Summarizing my experience. Venue is amazing, service was super friendly and fast, we're wiser now to know to make a reservation if we do end up coming for dinner again. Food tasted awesome and presentation blew my socks off. Really great place for a nicer dinner and to feel a little more spoiled up. Looking in, you can really come in dressed up or casual. They had an open space and tables were just getting up in the middle of dinner to dance which was a great lively vibe. Ounnah Recommends, and will be back! *The onion rings come in a tower, so i'll be sure to order that on my next visit. Along with maybe all 3 glasses of sangria just for me.

We have been talking about going to the Marc for years. We finally got to make this happen for…read moreValentine's Day this year. And I'm so glad we did. We had made a reservation far in advance as it was for valentines night. We were seated promptly and I got a corner table as requested, Thank you! The staff were all very attentive, pleasant and friendly, and never lingered too long. The restaurant was warmly lit and was mostly quiet but had some lovely relaxing/romantic music playing. I ordered a lovely glass wine, which turned into a second glass, closer to dessert and hubs had a fancy non-alcoholic drink he liked. The menu was a prix fix but I was pleasantly surprised with our options. There were 3 choices for each course. Our first course, Hubs ordered the Bibb salad with chicken skin croutons, such a unique and delicious idea. I had the pork rillette, which was like an amazing pate, with apricot gelee, mustard and crisp bread. This was absolutely incredible. Our second course, hubs had the duck with lentils and endive, every bite was simply divine. I had the steak with mushrooms, peas and asparagus, the sauce for this was amazing and the steak was so incredibly tender. Third course was dessert, hubs had the chocolate cake, which he said was very good. I had the "cereal milk" panna cotta. This dish was the hit of the night, so many components from the berries to earl grey tea gelee to the cornflake tuile. Nothing in this dish was overly sweet as may desserts are, but they all worked so brilliantly together in each bite. I could not stop eating it. The courses all came at perfect intervals, with enough time in between for you to want the next course. I often feel rushed at most restaurants, this was a lovely change. They were also perfectly portioned, so you have room for all three courses, unlike so many other restaurants. My biggest complement was that each dish I tasted was not only delicious, there was an intellectual component, and each bite made me think about each ingredient and how they worked together. I have never been to a Micheline star restaurant, I personally think these dishes would fit right in. Well done chef!

We wanted to take friends out for a nice dinner.. booking the day prior, most establishments had no availability... The Marc did. It's been 4 years since we last ate here... The red flags maybe should have popped up when we entered to an almost empty restaurant. SO to start... The Burrata was fine, not great.. just average (Try Pip for a really good Burrata) The Market Cheese for $14.00 is a complete joke. At least we thought it was.. you get 1 slice of cheese and 3 pieces of bread. The 4 of us looked at the waitress when she put it down thinking they made an error.. but no.. it is a $14.00 slice of cheese. The steak Tartare was decent. Their take is heavy on pickles but it is fine.. if you are looking for a less "tangy" tartare, skip as this is pickle and caper forward. The steak.. you would do better at Chop, Keg, Cactus Club or a variety of other places... thin, little flavour but ohhh the grill marks. My wife had chicken... it was chicken stacked on some beans etc. Not bad.. just chicken .. sauce was good but not "fine dining" The duck.... OMG the duck... my friend has never had duck so I convinced him to order it, He ordered Med and I ordered Med Rare... Both came out as 2 pieces each of Grey wet skinned, Medium (over) meat with a couple crispy wedges of overdone (Hard on the bottom) tomato polenta. The "Sauce Moutard" .... Well.... Maybe look online for a recipe.. Needless to say, my friend's 1st duck experience was sub par.. So for $500.00 (4 cocktails and wine were $150 of that), there are sooo many other establishments in Edmonton to select from... but you may have to book in advance. We could have taken them to Cactus CLub and had a better meal for less... Dissatisfied to say the least.

My husband and I went out for lunch during Edmonton Dining Week. The Silk Hat, I believe is the…read moreoldest continuous running restaurant in Edmonton. It is charming; the place you would go to after a night on the town in the 50's. Long benches compile the length of the restaurant, and a shiny chrome bar is on the opposite side. I only glanced at the regular menu because for Edmonton Dining week, there was a choice between two meals - homemade soup of the day followed by the buttermilk and panko crust crunchy sandwich served with fries. The second was a spring mix salad topped with balsamic reduction and parmesan cheese followed with two sausages from Irving farms on a bed of caramelized onions and fennel. Looking at the regular menu, there was nothing particularly standoutish described. A lot of the basic appetizers and burgers and typical sandwiches. However, our Edmonton Dining menu looked more interesting to me. This experience was really a hit and miss. Definitely the highlight was the sausages and fennel with onion. Moist and flavourful with a lovely complement of sweet onions and fennel. Definitely a dish worth having. The soup and salad were fine, but nothing special to note. The crispy sandwich was disappointing. I don't think that the deep fryer was hot enough, so what occurred was a really greasy condensed chicken in between a bun. I definitely would try it again to see what is on their usual menu and perhaps go for after work cocktails. What I see is a lot of loss potential for this restaurant. It is a gorgeous and unique building, and if they took that and went with a menu of retro classics perhaps it would be more than 1/4 full at any given time. I hope this restaurant turns itself around, because I would love it to become and "old classic standbye" for Edmonton.

To top off hubby's birthday we had the Sticky Date Pudding "served warm with ice cream, whipped cream & topped with hot caramel sauce" as per the menu, but it does not do it justice (picture included) I had the Terrine of Sorbets "layered black cherry, lemon, mango, served with champagne" - they actually pour the champagne over the sorbet, deeee-lish! I've included pictures of the sorbet, the sticky pudding and mushroom soup. Not the chicken dinners, as I was too busy enjoying it and felt a bit bad not staying engaged in the experience.

I was here just last night and left happy and full. The wine (and I can't remember what it was called for the life of me - though I'll be sure to update the review if I do) was one of the most enjoyable reds I've had in ages. We mingled over wine at cocktail hour between 6 and 7, then settled in for our meal. The set-up was buffet style. The line-up can get a bit long, but personally I love buffet! I'm on a healthy-eating kick, so I was able to load up my place with salad and veggies and salmon, skipping the gravy and dinner rolls. And the best part? Everything is *super* tasty. You won't find anything very exotic here - it's the standard caesar, spinach salad, turkey, mashed potatoes - but it's all quite delicious. The room was fairly good acoustics although they could have turned the microphone up a little bit. It's also much warmer in the area where the food trays are - I was a little chilly sitting near the window. It is quite nice to be in a room with windows, though! Dessert is even better! OK, I know I said I'm on a healthy eating kick, but I just can't say no to cheesecake. Delicious! I hope the organization continues to hold their Christmas parties here - it's an awesome choice!
