    eggs on toast
    Scott W.

    We were staying for a couple of nights in the hotel. Decided to have a breakfast there. It was about 8:30 on a Monday, and there were plenty of empty tables. We had a group of 6 and were seated without any wait. The entire hotel is a gem. From the dark wood paneling, to the tile floors, retro lighting, and fresh cut flowers. Got greeted by our service, who did a great job throughout the entire meal. Friendly, efficient, and helpful. The menu had lots of very good selections. However I didn't see one of my favorites, avocado toast with smoked salmon. I asked the server, and she said "no problem". It came deconstructed, so I was able to make it up fresh. Everything about it was good, including the capers, and pickled red onion. It's a little pricey, but for the experience, it a good value. Would stop in again.

    Stopped by during our lengthy layover en route to Paris. Very elegant space and even had a coat check. Fancy! We lucked out and got seated pretty quickly on a Sunday brunch day without a reservation. Service was prompt and friendly. Kiddos had a burger and chicken tenders. Mama and I shared the absolutely delicious Farro bowl. It was amazing. Lots of people having Tea Parties while we were here. Nice place and we highly recommend.

    Afternoon tea

    That hawthorn vibes!! All I can think of was "Welcome to Hawthronnnn". The Menu! IYKYK!! Came for Mad hatter theme afternoon tea. I came right after I landed/ took longer than I expected to get a car, check in and ran to here. But they were flexible to move the time. But the service was very rushed. Tea picking was fun. Then came all the food. So much food. I like the tea sandwiches. The cookies were cute but such a let down. Overly sweet! Way too sweet to consume. Also the desserts/ so pretty but almost frozen. Not fun to eat. Not good to eat. Overall, I came for the vibes and Mad hatter theme. Love the ambiance and tea. For $89 per person for afternoon tea: I expected better food and cakes. They lacked that! It's inside Fairmont so the walk-ins was fun and gorgeous. Left feeling like we overpaid! And still hungry. Oh well'

    Bartender's choice drink White wine sangria - tasted VERY gingery

    Went here for a bachelorette dinner and for a fancier (expensive) downtown restaurant it did not meet ANY expectations. Prefacing that the restaurant was not busy at all The service was horrible - took over 15mins of being sat down before a server Came to take drink order. Forgot to bring water when asked at time of ordering drinks. Then it took about 15-30mins before anyone came back to take the food order. The ordering didn't take long - maybe 5 mins. We waited over an HOUR for our food to come out. I understand we were a large group but an hour seems very excessive. When the servers were bringing out the food they couldn't remember who had what. I ordered the burger and fries ($30) - the fries were over cooked, hard and crunchy, and the burger was extremely salty with a stale bun. I was so hungry by the time the food came out, I ate what I could salvage. The bill took another 30mins before getting out and it was split up wrong; took the servers 4 try's to finally get them correct. For the price and location of Hawthorn - it is not worth it. For 1 drink and burger and fries, my bill was $65. Do not recommend this place at all.

    Super cool vibe. Great atmosphere. It was like being transported through time with the the decor being modern in a historical setting, great music playing. We went only for drinks and dessert (before dinner). The drinks are definitely the priciest I've ever paid ($31 and $19), delicious but definitely a splurge to say the least. We went for the cinnamon crepe cake. Perfect to share.

    Von Essen - Schnitzel Wiener Art (Pork schnitzel with cranberry sauce)

    Von Essen

    5.0(2 reviews)
    36.3 km

    Tucked away in the charming hamlet of Bragg Creek, about a 25-minute drive from Calgary, Von Essen…read moreGerman Bar & Cuisine is the kind of small, family-run restaurant that reminds you why independent dining experiences matter so much. With just 28 seats, Von Essen feels less like a restaurant and more like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Reservations are highly recommended, and once you visit, you'll understand why. The restaurant is owned and operated by mother-and-son team Uwe and Dominik. Chef Uwe is clearly a master of her craft, while Dominik runs the front of house with warmth, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm. He greets guests with a genuine smile, makes everyone feel welcome, and knows the menu and ingredients inside and out. This is not fast food, nor should it be. Good food takes care, attention, and patience, and Chef Uwe delivers exactly that. Linda ordered the Pork Medallions with pan-fried potatoes, and the dish was exceptional. The pork was cooked perfectly: moist, tender, and layered with rich, balanced flavours that only come from experience and skill. The pan-fried potatoes were equally impressive, crisp and beautifully prepared. I had the Pork Schnitzel, and it was outstanding. Perfectly thin, light, crisp, and packed with flavour without ever feeling heavy. The accompanying pan-fried potatoes were again flawless, and the red cabbage side dish deserves special mention. It was light, delicate, and uniquely prepared, adding the perfect contrast to the schnitzel. What truly sets Von Essen apart, though, is the care they put into every detail. The atmosphere and ambience are warm, comfortable, and inviting. From the tasteful wall art to the comfortable seating and beautifully arranged tables, every element feels thoughtfully chosen. Even the washrooms deserve praise: exceptionally clean, stylish, and clearly maintained with pride. In my opinion, restaurants like Von Essen are exactly the kinds of small businesses we should be supporting. Passion, hospitality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail are becoming increasingly rare, and this restaurant delivers all of them in abundance. I can't recommend Von Essen German Bar & Cuisine highly enough, and I sincerely hope many more people discover and support this remarkable little restaurant. Presentation: 5/5. Flavors: 5/5. Portion Size: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Parking: 5/5. Value: 5/5

    We enjoyed our late dinner at Von Essen on a busy Saturday night. We didn't make any reservations…read morebut the server was able to accommodate us by first offering us an outdoor seating, then relocate us to a comfortable table by the window when it became available. We appreciate this extra attentive service on a busy night close to their closing hour. The schnitzel is tender and juicy. I like having more cranberry sauce and the server didn't have any hesitation on fulfilling my request when prompted. Looking forward to returning for our next visit!
