Fish and chips
Katherine A.

This local pub is located on 17th ave in downtown Calgary, where patios and dine in are available! We were seated inside and tried a few of their drinks and ordered two separate entrees. The menu is quite versatile with from curry to pizza, so there's something for everyone. I ordered the Fish n Chips with 2 pieces of fish, and found it to be mediocre nothing too special about it. However, I did love the creamy coleslaw! The second dish was the Lamb Shank and gets a 5/5 for the quality, quantity and price! For $15 you get mashed potatoes (with skin mixed in FYI), green peas and tender lamb that falls off the bone! Cocktails range from $5-$6 and are delicious, highly recommend the Shipwreck if you enjoy sweet drinks. I personally wish they sold it as a pitcher! Great spot to try if you're in the area!

Always a good sign when the beer fridges are sticker clad.

Came here on a Wednesday night for some Pickle Pizza. Being from Chicago, I don't often get to sample crazy pizzas free from judgment. So, Pickle Pizza it is, and I loved it. The bar was moderately occupied and I got a seat right in front of a cash register. I love this spot because you get to engage in all the staff gossip...and in a bar, there's plenty of colorful characters and conversations to pass the time. Anyway, beer and liquor selection was on par with any downtown establishment. Staff was busy but attentive. Go there! Oh and get a t- shirt too!

Ship Burger (4/5) and Fries (5/5)

Beef dip was okay.. 3 or 4 out of 5 stars. Fries continue to be delicious and the beer is nice and cool!! Good atmosphere inside.

Where da pheasants at??

Service was great!....well not really. The server never actually approached us. But we did witness her serving tables from afar. She seemed to be doing a really great job with those guests. We realized time was ticking - Happy hour was about to end!! (tik tok tik tok). In our desperation we took matters into our own hands and ran to the bar to order drinks just in time. We made it back to our table, only to realize, we were camouflaged (literally we were wearing full blown camo) and that's why the server never found us! Thank god for hunting season. Too bad we haven't caught any pheasants yet. It's now been 45 minutes. A server has yet to come to us. Tik tok Tik tok. And the party definitely stopped. Goodbye. This ship has sunk.

We arrived for a late lunch and were seated right away on their lovely outdoor patio…read more Unfortunately, service was slow from the start, it took quite a while before anyone even acknowledged us, and for a while, we weren't sure who our server was. Here's what we ordered: Mango boba - surprisingly tart and could've used a bit of sweetness Peanut chicken salad - flavorful and refreshing, with noodles at the bottom Fish tacos with sweet potato fries - the beer-battered fish was crispy and delicious While the food was solid and the patio atmosphere was great, the service really impacted our experience. When we were ready to pay, it was difficult to get our server's attention. My husband eventually had to approach her across the patio, and she processed our payment while standing right there. It seemed like they were short-staffed the day we visited, which might explain the delays, but the lack of attention was still frustrating. Overall, good food and a nice setting, but I'd give it 3.5 stars due to the service issues

Food here is just alright. Fish tacos weren't bad but the fish wasn't crispy at all. The quasedilla "tortilla" was a little thick. The meat in the BBQ rice bowl was pretty good, but the ratio of rice to everything else was too high. The salad was pretty good and quite a large serving. We had A LOT of trouble flagging down our waitress, especially near the end when we were ready to pay, which was quite frustrating and the main reason I'm docking stars. However, I will say the setup outside is really nice. There are hanging plants, pretty large tables, music that's not too loud, and overall a nice vibe. I think for a slow, casual evening out this place will have you covered.

We visited last night and started off on a high note with an excellent wine selection. The…read moresommelier, Bobby, was fantastic--knowledgeable and personable. The wine list isn't huge, but what they offer is curated and impressive. We ordered the Wedge Salad and Truffled Arancini. Both arrived about 15 minutes later. The salad was underdressed, and the Arancini, while hot, lacked the tomato sauce that would have elevated the dish. Minor issues, but we moved on. Unfortunately, the main course experience was disappointing. After waiting 45 minutes, our entrees finally arrived--at room temperature. At that point, we were too hungry to send them back and wait another 20 minutes. When we shared our concerns, the staff initially offered complimentary desserts, which felt inadequate given the circumstances. After further discussion, they comped both entrees and provided a $25 gift certificate, which was a fair gesture and appreciated. The GM and Bobby personally apologized and invited us to ask about "little surprises" in the wine cellar next time, which was a nice touch. Overall, great wine and recovery effort, but the kitchen timing and food temperature need serious improvement. Hoping for a better experience next time because the potential is there.

Do NOT BOOK this hotel. They have black out dates that does not pop up or flag when you book the…read morerooms. I followed the more than 48 hour rule to cancel the room without penalty and was told that its was during their blackout period and should have read the fine print. I'm really not even sure if that is legal. The hotel takes the full amount of the charge for the room at the time of booking, not at the time of check in and keeps the money regardless of when you cancel if it falls "in their black out period" that is not clearly identified when booking those dates. You better not have plans change or have a family emergency! RIP OFF. Buyer beware, do not book.
