    Bacon cheeseburger with fries.
    Nat P.

    Great experience. This is a new, modern and fun restaurant to dine at in downtown Calgary! It has changed so much and has come a long way from 20 years ago when I used to come here for plain Jane fries. Very friendly atmosphere, especially when you're greeted by the staff right away and seated where you've request (window seat). The view looks out onto the street level of 7th Avenue where the Ctrain train runs and people walking by. I can imagine in the summertime, the outdoor seating area would be a blast! The atmosphere is very fun, not overly loud, and has a modern flair. Very clean tables, floor and windows. The restaurant is connected to the lobby of the Sandman Hotel; very convenient if you're looking for a downtown place to stay with an funky restaurant and bar attached. Their menu had a good variety, including vegetarian, plates, side, dishes, for starters, main meals, and a good alcoholic beverage. I didn't even look at the desert menu because I was so full. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, at the suggestion of Jen the server. She was right! It was knockout! All the ingredients were fresh, the burger was hot, and just the right size. I asked for my fries extra well done, and that's how I got them. The presentation was super cute too! I ordered a beer and it was nice and cold and hit the spot. The music was at the right level and it was overall just a really great experience. The only negative I could share with the manager named Zack, when he came and asked me, was the temperature of the fries. They were lukewarm at best. He took my feedback very well and both he and Jen took the time to chitchat with me. It was like I had been there many times before. I appreciate that kind of treatment when I'm from out of town and I'm paying for a meal at a restaurant. Two thumbs up.

    Our party of four was seated promptly and greeted and served by Jen. She was very friendly and very attentive. She gave us recommendations and when the food arrived we were surprised by the large portions. The nachos were delicious. We definitely enjoyed the dry rub fried ribs that were new to us. All of us enjoyed our entrees. We will be back

    I went here with a group of 10 co workers. Service was great. The pasta Alfredo dish I ordered was delicious but the bread served with it was mediocre. I think next visit I will try something else.

    Tonight was mother daughter date-we booked a room at the sandman and ha decided to have dinner at Moxies. We were sat right away and waited over 15 minutes to be asked for a drink - so I went and found a server We ordered a Vrigin Mojito and a Bellini and our friend who joined us soda water. Our drinks came and they brought a virgin margarita. She brought the right drink after we told her, however forgot the syrup in it. We ordered the iceberg lettuce wraps - chicken wings - sweet chilli chicken - tuna in a jar. The tuna was gross, the wraps so salty - and the chips that come with the sweet chilli chicken were taco flavour - it didn't work with the taste of the chicken. Out drinks were empty, food gross and the server couldn't handle her 6 tables. They did take most of the food off the bill and gave us free dessert - but I wouldn't recommend coming here - I'll never be back.

    What can I say. It's Moxies. Only average. Decent food, and good cocktails. Usually just visit the Market Mall location

    I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but this particular one has nice venues and their staff are usually friendly.

    Generally, at best passable service and absolutely the worst nachos in the province. If you go, don't ever order the nachos. Ever.

    Management at this bar is awful. We made a reservation months in advance only to be told when we…read morearrived at the bar that our reservation didn't exist. When we talked to one of the guys at the door, he advised us that what happened to us was "just Jordan" who is the manager who "confirmed" our reservation beforehand. Once we got inside - after waiting in line - we found a server and explained what happened with our plans. She said "this happens all the time" - meaning, the manager by the name of Jordan pretends to make reservations only to not actually make them and have people show up to nothing. Thankfully, the server we dealt with allowed us to take an available table (after we were told it was fully booked). Moral of the story is that the servers we dealt with were awesome - one of the doormen were rude and dismissive. The bar manager by the name of Jordan was absolutely atrocious. If you're planning ahead of time - don't trust this bar or management who allegedly try to help you. We won't be back.

They haven't even replied to my messages. They do not care about patrons at all. I have written this review on multiple platforms and have even left a formal complaint with the BBB of Calgary. DO NOT waste your time on this business. They are horribly run. Said email: "I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding the December 31 event at Lounge 18, which I attended after purchasing three cocktail hour and party tickets. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet the expectations set by the event's promotion or the standards I would expect from your venue. The quality of service throughout the evening was extremely poor. The drinks served were noticeably watered down, and on two separate occasions, drink orders placed at our table were completely forgotten. The server's presence was very infrequent, resulting in wait times of up to 45 minutes to receive a drink. Additionally, the first drink we received at midnight was empty, and the following drink had visible lipstick on the glass, which raised serious concerns about cleanliness and attention to detail. Other advertised features of the event were also lacking. The "photo booth and props" were essentially non-existent, and the dance floor was far too small and poorly arranged for the number of guests in attendance. The music did not reflect the DJ experience that was promised and instead sounded like a generic playlist rather than a professionally curated set. Due to the overall poor execution of the event, we chose to leave early and ended up paying full price to attend another event elsewhere so we could salvage our evening. This was my first experience at Lounge 18, and regrettably, it left a very negative impression. Based on this experience, I am unlikely to return. Given the circumstances, I believe a partial refund would be appropriate, and I hope you will take this feedback seriously. I would appreciate a response regarding how this matter can be resolved. Thank you for your time and attention."
