Been to notable 6 times now. I like all the food here. Drinks are soso (Hence the 4 stars) my girlfriends and I tried several cocktails and none were very good. Huge selection of wine which I like! read more

Ive been there 5 or 7 times for week end brunch or week day lunch. Service is efficient and friendly enough. Decor is great, and the food was pretty wonderful. Coffee, however, is awful! In a place that's all about taste, what's up with that? read more

Great food, ambiance, service. Excellent from the ground up loved it. One of the best burgers I have ever had. Barely ate half and the other half was breakfast the next day. Beautiful kitchen. read more

The food quality here is stellar. They have a chef who knows his craft. If you are a foodie, you will not be disappointed. Having said that, I will sometimes deliberately choose another location for a meal because I find it horrendously loud. You'll need rezzies, or you may not get it. It's a popular little place. I think one of the reasons is that there is no food of comparable quality anywhere else close by. read more

veal was ok. mixed veggies were enticing. What was not great was the fact that the order was forgotten while the kitchen staff were all high-fiving. I'd stay away from the bread sticks as something was off about them and the white pea hummus dip and others. potatoe meat fingers were delicious. read more

The waitress said we should come back for dinner when we can stay a while, which was ironic because we had been waiting for 45 minutes for our lunch. She was friendly and knowledgeable. My meal was cold, not sure if it was supposed to be served that way or a result of having to wait 45 minutes to get it. It was noisy and very busy. Fortunately, we got in early but that didn't get us in and out any faster. Really love the Q water. read more

What an excellent night out! Booked their private function room for a large family celebration. Contact was easy to work with and helped me organize our special supper. The Group menu was a great balance of choices. Their half chicken is very moist and flavorful. And the mushroom risotto melts in your mouth. The potato rolls with pork are a fantastic appetizer. So was the scallops with grilled romaine hearts. Decedent desserts of Stilton cheesecake and the chocolate pudding were a lovely end to the meal. Plus staff and chef did a great job with gluten free dietary requirements. Lots of choice!! read more

Favourite restaurant in all of Calgary. You can go all fine dining or, get a burger. Consistently excellent food. We go here anytime it's date night. Can't recommend enough read more

Top notch burger. Lots of flavour, well chosen fixings and leaves you well satisfied.

Excellent meal the Flatiron steak with cherry sauce on top from the bison dish. Vegetables and steak were amazing. If your visiting Calgary as I do a few times a year it's a must for dinner or lunch. Had the grilled romain lettuce which was outstanding also. Suggest making a reservation as it gets crowded. Good service and great job NOtaBLE read more

My girlfriend and I wanted to try a new restaurant in Calgary to celebrate my birthday. We were suggested to try the Notable restaurant in Bowness. We ordered the oven made bread for an appetizer. We love the spread and the bread. We ordered the special of the day which was a pork rib. The portion came out larger than we had imagined. We each had to order a doggy bag to take some of the meal home. Overall it was a very good experience and a good service. We would recommend anybody to try this restaurant. We would go back again. If anybody is planning to go to this restaurant we would recommend them to phone ahead and get a reservation because we were there at around 5:15 PM and the place was starting to fill up. read more

Food was delicious, atmosphere and decor was refreshing and our server was awesome, friendly & attentive. Will definitely be going back!!

Great place! Prime rib and chicken are primo! Love the atmosphere. You may have to wait for a table but it's worth it. Come for weekday lunch. Same great food no wait! read more

Took Jackie for our first date night in a long while. We started with the Shrimp and scallop bake. It was nice and creamy, with the right amount of salty. Good way to start off the meal. Neither of us are big wine enthusiasts, so we settled with cocktails. Hers was the 'Strawberry-O', mine the 'Rye-rebellion'. Both were good. Hers wasn't overly sweet, and mine was perfect, just the right amount of orange to offset the harshness of the rye (I'm new to rye). For our meals, we both ordered off the 'Inspired menu' and picked the same dish - Notable spaghetti carbonara with house made mesquite bacon. After the first bite I was floored. One of the dishes that I'll be thinking about often in the coming days. Lastly, we ended with desert. I chose the Coffee creme brûlée, and Jackie went with the warm chocolate pudding with salted caramel gelato. Hers I found too sweet, but she was loving every bite, mine was exceptional, although I found it to be very rich, went great with a cup of their Fratello French press coffee. My one critique, and had nothing to do with the food, was they kept the restaurant real cool, so bring a long a sweater. The staff were friendly and helpful, and no issues with finding parking. Overall, a very enjoyable date night. Looking forward to visiting notable again in the near future. 4.5/5 read more

I've eaten here twice. One was during burger week; utterly fantastic! Honestly, every detail is considered and addressed. The kitchen runs like a finely tuned Swiss watch. We loved watching the staff do a tasting for the dinner service. It looked like a family dinner! I went again with my business partner and a supplier. He was really impressed with the service and food and said it will be his go-to place when he is next in Calgary. We were equally thrilled. If you get a chance to go, sit at the counter and enjoy the show. read more

The gem of the NW. What a treat to have a downtown quality restaurant waiting for a convenient date night up in the NW. Really delicious food and drinks and wine selection. Menu can be a little difficult to interpret and know just what the hell exactly you will receive, but that's typical of these upscale, hipster type spots and is part of the fun. Haven't had an item on the menu yet where I've been disappointed. One of the first places that comes to mind when I ask myself where I should go for dinner on a special occasion. read more

Notable is my new favourite restaurant in Calgary. I went once awhile ago for lunch and the food was very good and the service was fantastic. I kind of forgot about it until my boyfriend and I went there for a celebratory dinner recently. We never sat without a drink in front of us. The waitress continued to fill my wine glass as we went through the bottle. The serving staff and bartender were knowledgeable and helpful with the food and drinks. Our appetizer was THE BEST app I have ever had! Crispy potato rolls - It was 5 deep fried potato skin rolls, wrapped around pork, avocado, tomato and a green salsa and chipolte sauce. I will return just to eat this app alone, let alone how fantastic our mains were. I had a pork tenderloin and gnocchi meal and my boyfriend had the daily special. We will be back again for my birthday this month :) read more

I must have gone there on a bad day. I see so many wonderful reviews that I'm relieved that my experience may not have been typical. Food - mine was okay, not what I expected from an award-winning chef, but okay. However, other people in my party said their food was mediocre. One person in our party said her food was revolting. Service - bad enough that I will never go there again. We had a very rude waiter who was overly familiar, presumptious, and thought too highly of himself. He attended to us enough, refilled waters, and so on, but his rude remarks and overbearing manner overshadowed the meal. None of us who were at the table that day will ever go again, nor can we safely recommend this place to friends. read more

I went to Notable with 6 people, we had reservations but had to wait 10-15 minutes past. The food was amazing! I had the New York strip and it was cooked perfect and the meat itself had so much flavor. We had to wait a little longer for our entrees because of a large group in the back came in just before us and the kitchen was busy. However they comped our desserts for all 6 people so even though service could have being better overall they did everything they could to make it right. Other little things, I am against paying for water however I did not mind paying for water at Notable. It costed $1 a litre and was filtered by a company called Q Water. It did not have a taste and was very good. Did not have a problem paying for that water. The other small thing that I liked is that the bathrooms are individual rooms. A very nice touch that I have not come across before. Overall I recommend this to anyone looking to have a great meal and a good price. Not for someone looking for a casual meal or saving money. Expect at $60-80 for 2 people read more

Excellent food, excellent service. Expect to wait a looong time if you don't make reservations as this place is always hopping with people. The fact that it's still this busy even after the initial novelty wore off, is always a good sign. read more

Fabulous restaurant! The food was exquisite (The Tuna was amazing and prepared to perfection)...Service was above average, attentive without being in the way. The atmosphere was easy going and one was immediately at ease upon entering the restaurant. Wine selection was varied and included a good price range. For a delicious experience...experience notable! read more

We made a reservation two weeks in advance for Dec 23, 2012 for a table for five. It was a VERY cold night but the restaurant was hoppin! The decor is lovely, the staff were clearly proud of their restaurant and food offerings. Our table ordered the Pancetta, bison, rotisserie chicken, and rib eye steak. We all thought our entrees were very good. We did experience two negatives. Firstly, the noise level in the restaurant was crazy. I could barely talk to my mother who was seated beside me and I had to resort to sign language to talk to my son on the far side of the table. Not the kind of environment where you want to linger. I know this is not easy or inexpensive fix but something NOtaBLES needs to look into. Secondly, we ordered the Wood Fired Grilled Bread with Black olive, sundried tomatoes and basil tapenade. The bit of tapenade we had was AMAZING! We tried and tried and tried to eat the grilled bread but it was BURNT! Every bite! When I talked to our server about this, she respectfully said that this is how the grilled bread comes and that even if she ordered another one for us, she knew it would come back the same. Come on NOtaBLES, we couldn't even enjoy the tapanade because all we could taste was burnt toast! You need to change how you are preparing it. Who cares if it is "Wood Fired-Grilled Bread" if you can't eat it! Our server did take this order off our bill without me asking her, and I appreciate the fact that she did. I love the fact that this lovely restaurant is not downtown, so it is easier to get to. I love the fact that it is in a neighbourhood. Next time we are in town, I will try it again. Hopefully, NOtaBLES will have worked out some wrinkles. read more

Pros: Excellent food quality and taste, amazing staff (we had an English fellow that was fabulous!), very nice atmosphere. Cons: definitely on the pricier side of the scale, portions were small (ah, neuvo cuisine!), $12 highballs? seriously? Overall, a great place for a special occasion but not a place one would go regularly. read more

I was just at the restaurant for lunch for my birthday, awesome experience. The food was great ,but our server Emily made the experience fantastic. Laurie the Mexican cowboy read more

Got there just before their dinner menu started at around 4pm. It was full of breakfast, brunch and sandwiches. I had their Seared Tuna Sandwich. It was great. My Partner had the special (gourmet Hamburger), that was delicious too. We both had 2 drinks each and those were delicious. One knock from getting 5 out of 5 stars was the price. We ended up dropping just over $110 (incl tip). It'll make us wary for a late lunch to pay that much. If I'm in Bowness again, I'll try dinner for sure, and stick to a nice glass of wine. read more

Had heard Great things about Notables and have often had the take-out Chicken which is somewhat expensive but quite good. Had lunch on June 25 there (Chicken Rigatoni Carbonera and Scallops) Both meals were so loaded with salt that I had a headache later and my dining companion felt dizzy after. I really shouldn't have finished mine but I was hungry. Next time I would save the $72 and just down the contents of a salt shaker. read more

This is my favorite calgary restaurant. The food is always amazing but this place excels in creating the overall experience. All the staff are exceptional professionals in every way. They know how to make notable an experience, not just a meal. read more

We love this place. It is so nice to be able to dress a nice casual, sit down have some awesome drinks and great food. Its non pretensious and that's whats so charming about it. A little off the beaten path in terms of location, but well worth the drive. Apps to love are their ravioli, potatoes rolls, and their scallop and bacon vinaigrette salad! But I'm sure everything in the apps is amazing. These are just some of our faves. For Mains the pasta is fresh, our pork tenderloin was top notch and the gnocchi was referred to as crack!!!!!!!!! It was a mix of mushroom and bacon and I could have eaten a plate of just the gnocchi !!! The lamb was succulent and perfectly cooked. All the meat is fire roasted and you can't beat that taste. For dessert we had the Stilton cheesecake, which was interesting and yummy! We also had the chocolate tart and that was mouth happy dance worthy. For drinks, a must try ladies is a Moscow mule. Its vodka, ginger,lime and ginger beer! So crisp and refreshingly delish!!!. Can't wait to go back and try some more. read more

Excellent food, close to home and great atmosphere. Love the live bands and the quick service.

Always love Notables! Service was outstanding! Everything was outstanding, Duck Confit, Prime Rib, Chocolate Pudding, great date night! read more

NOtaBLE The Restaurant - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Googled best prime rib places and Went to visit Monday but they are closed. I respect days off . Finally was able to get a reservation for 4 and was greeted by great front staff, nice restaurant and ambience but main course was lacking . Prime rib on Thursday and Friday only so settled for a tasteless steak that was not aged 30 days. High hopes for this place as we loved the story of the owner but so disappointed . Hinted to janessa our waitress several times about my good and not a response back . Guess a 1/4 of a 10 oz steak was not a sign to her I was unhappy. Sorry notable but will not support you or your other restaurant again read more

I saw very good reviews here and gotta say it wasn't as good as the reviews steak wasn't very tasty but the waiters are very friendly and maybe a less limited menu for lunch will make this place more enjoyable overall nor bad. read more

Having visited NOTaBLE on several occasions now, for both dinner and brunch, I can confidently say this place is consistently stellar. Warm, impeccable service, combined with elegant food and a modern viewpoint keeps us coming back again and again. A gem in the heart of Montgomery/Bowness. read more

I've been wanting to drop by this place since I live quite near the area. When I finally did, it is as good as I expected it to be. I ordered the brisket sandwich, I felt like I died and went to heaven. I sat near the bar and observed the chefs in action, they were very professional and have put so much love and effort into each dish served. Kudos, to all the hard working people in this restaurant, will be coming back again, and again, and again. read more

After my first experience with NoTables I couldn't wait to go back. The staff were very well informed on both the food and beverage menu. Our server introduced my partner and I to our new favourite wine. We started our meal with a generous helping of Saltspring Island Mussels and ended with a rich piece of cheesecake (made with blue cheese) that I never wanted to end; I plan on going back for these two things alone. The main dishes were paired with creative and flavorful sides. NoTables has been added to 'must take visitors to' list. read more

Yummy!! My Husband and I have had a few date nights here, it is hard to get a table & and it tends to be quite loud - but the service is good and the food is even better. read more

Had the burger and pork chop. Burger was stacked too high to enjoy and burgers should not be spicy like Thai food - too spicy and make it so people can put it in their mouth. The pork chop was more like a pork belly - more fat than meat. The pork chop, or pork belly, was cooked unevenly - raw in areas and well done in areas. The only good thing - good company and good atmosphere. read more

We had an amazing dinner here. Welcomed at the door and sat quickly even though it was 7pm on Saturday. Our salad and appetizer was perfect, great wine and cocktails. Dinner was a perfect bison flank steak and the most AMAZING tandoori chicken I have ever had. Perfect. The only thing that was better than the food was our impeccable service. read more

Favorite restaurant in the city by far. I love sitting at the kitchen bar, very entertaining. The scallop appetizer is worth every $$, a must every time, ditto the creme brulee. Finally got there in time to get the prime rib and it was worth the wait, it runs out fast so get there early, just not before me. Great old fashioned, love the sugar in the raw cube used to make it. I have been 10-15 times in the last two years and all visits were 5 stars. read more

Excellent little place in such a random spot in Bowness. The view from the front is not appealing at all however the restaurant interior is gorgeous. The staff is friendly and the food is divine. It is VERY difficult to get into this restaurant so reservations far in advance are necessary unless you want to wait for an hour or so. Overall it is a great little place. Nice to see a clean and open kitchen and to see the chef Michael Noble there representing his work. The decor makes the restaurant look so fancy yet the wait staff wears jeans which seems odd but yet it seems to work. Lunch is a better menu than dinner, not as expensive and I think better choices. Dinner is good as well but quite pricey too! Overall I love this place. read more
