I went with my friend and we sat out on the patio - the waitress was helpful, and courteous. We ordered the spicy thai chicken - which was definitely spicy, and extremely tasty. They had recommeded cocktail pairings - which were bang-on. The Thrilla from Manilla was very tasty without being overly sweet. Those who are sensitive to spice may want to ask them to make it milder, but other than that all was perfect.

Wow! I was blown away by my first visit to Split Zero Proof. Split is Edmonton's first mocktail bar…read moreand have proved you can still create innovative, delicious drinks without alcohol. The space is very very tiny so if you want a spot to sit down on a Friday or Saturday evening, make sure to make a reservation. I really like the way they've managed to make the space feel cozy rather than crowded. We were seated at the window which made for some great people watching. I got to try 3 of their drinks while there and while I enjoyed them all, the Prairie Berry Patch was my favourite. It was very well balanced and smooth. However, I was very jealous of the Rosemerry Cranberry Gin Fizz that my friend had. It seemed to be the favourite of everyone we were with and I definitely be ordering one for myself next time we visit. The bartender was great at helping us pick out the right drinks to suit our moods and even offered to make something off-menu if we wanted to try something different. I was really happy to see how busy Split was and I hope the momentum doesn't slow down for them after people start wrapping up their dry January challenges. They've also held mocktail classes for the last couple months on Tuesdays which seems like a very fun night out.

They changed thier menu to fall coziness so we tried a few different things. We had the Chou Farcie which is France's version of a cabbage roll- Savoy cabbage stuffed w/ braised pork & beef, sautéed vegetables & served with tomato sauce. We also had the Coq au Vin -two braised drumsticks, red wine, smoked bacon, shallots, and mushrooms. We had the savoury cake sale and the flavour was vegetable. Finally to round off the meal we had pommes duchesse w/horseradish, chive aïoli, and truffle oil. We also tried some seasonal cocktails. Service was friendly and professional. Food came out in timely manner. The ambiance was cozy and a great place to chat. Food was amazing as usual. Favourite was the devilled eggs but I really appreciated the chou farcie. The flavour was delicous and my hubby appreciated that it was mostly meat. You really can't go wrong here! Just order whatever you are feeling like and you won't be disappointed.

Partake is a gem on Sundays with their Sunday Sips & Snacks - $8 cocktails and snacks under $10. Such a beautiful cozy space (or enjoy their lovely patio), you'll want to linger and take your time here. Service is fabulous and so friendly, and the drinks are strong and well made. We love the food - dare I say, the best french onion soup in the city? (And just $6 on the Sunday snack menu!!) The charcuterie options change constantly, as does the flavour for the complimentary popcorn to nibble on (brown butter & dill the night we were there). From the regular menu, absolutely get the tartare. The flavours, the texture - every bite was perfect.

They have quite an extensive menu.

A mix of hipster cool and classic. I also love a restaurant that does a good Christmas tree. It made it feel festive and cozy. Our server was bubbly and kind. Really enjoyed her service. She was helpful in picking out things for us to try. The menu is diverse, and pretty much has something for everyone. And we happened to score on Happy Hour which was some good eats for an affordable price. What we chose from the Happy Hour Menu Korean Fried Chicken Brusell Sprouts Sparrow Tots Arancini All these were 9 dollars. We also chose two happy hour drink specials for 9 bucks Spicy Sparrow and the Old Fashion We also had the Beef Short Ribs with gnocci and the date pudding. Food was really delicious. I liked everything. The beef short ribs with gnocci were probably our favourite but not a deal. All the happy hour things were tasty. The big surprise was the Korean Fried Chicken which had a great mix of sweet and spicy. The Sparrow tots were great too. The only thing I would not reorder is the date pudding. This was a dime a dozen. Nothing standoutish and could get a great bread pudding at many pubs for cheaper. Try this place. Especially at their Golden Hour.

Waiter was very kind and asked us if it was our first time and encouraged group sharing of the dishes and recommended 2-3 dishes per person. Waters were provided as well as a wine bottle-type jug with water in it - too bad the wine bottle is quite dark and the waiter cannot tell when it is empty and needs a refill. We tried: Ricotta Fritters: 7/10, tomato sauce was very overpowering in flavor, corn was very nice. Fritters themselves were very tasty and the ricotta filling was very nice but it gets hidden when eaten with the potent tomato sauce. Broccolini: 9/10, good, good flavor, cooked well just not sure they are worth the price for what you get. Risotto: 6/10, my uncle gave it a 8/10 as he liked it. To me it was pretty bland, could be that the carrot flavor isn't my thing, but just found it underwhelming and lacking flavor (maybe needs more salt too) Texture was very good though. Colcannon Gnocchi: 12/10. This dish was soooo good. Loved the mushroom cream sauce, sour cream, GIANT bacon jam blobs, gnocchi itself had good texture. But combined the flavors were phenomenal. 100% recommend this dish. Unfortunately Amberjack was not available. Herb Marinated Chicken Thighs: Chicken was 9/10 good, good flavor and texture but Brussel sprouts were bad like no one would eat them bad. Undercooked and under seasoned. Little rocks that had a bad taste. Sauce was good to add moisture but was very very bland/tasteless. Overall this fed 3 of us well with no leftovers but also no room for dessert.

Small place though and I imagine on weekends it would be really loud. Our server happened to be the owner as well. He was prompt and friendly. He treated us well. Tonnes of amazing cocktails on the menu. I think I will try a different cocktail every time I go. There is one for everyone. Menu is short but has something for everyone there too. I decided on the Warm Mushroom Salad which contained a Mushroom Medley, with a Shallot, Rose Water, & Elderflower Liqueur Vinaigrette and the Spicy Rigatoni with Habanero Rose Sauce. My husband went with Braised Chuck Flatserved on fresh grits, glazed in demi. Cocktails were carefully crafted and the food came out in a timely manner. Food was excellent. The mushroom salad was full of flavour and cooked properly. The spicy rigatoini was excellent with just enough heat from the habanero sauce. However, the real start was the braised chuck which melted with a tap of the fork. The grits were well cooked and a good accompaniment. We were stuffed but I would like to try thier desserts in the future. Cocktail prices were high but in the same price range as other fancy cocktail bars. The food prices were the same as many other places but with higher quality. Definately try this place out. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Nice and tight musicianship and good stage presence. The audience all seemed to know each other-- big fans there for the final show of their friends. Some of the women were a bit...shall we say...long in the tooth, intent on imagining themselves as they were in their 20s. However, 30-something years of chain smoking and frying their hair with fake blonde (turning it to straw), has aged them considerably. Wearing outfits cut down to there to make up for that. So if you're a dude of a certain age, you'll probably get lucky if you want. Depends on your tastes. The bartender and cocktail waitress were practically surly. The bathrooms were tiny and a little ramshackle. $15 cover charge.
