    The tenderloin
    Gary B.

    Wow the food here is delicious! Service, meh I had the coconut leak soup, which had great depth of flavor. The rosemary Canadian beef tenderloin which was cooked to perfection and otherwise juicy and tender. And for dessert...honestly don't remember what it's called but it was a chocolate banana, caramel tart or in other words a slice of heaven! For this dessert alone you should visit this restaurant...if you love bananas more so! The service wasn't bad, it was just slow. From the person who showed me to my table to when I received my food to paying for the meal, the entire process was slow. That said, though they were all friendly, provided good insight into the menu. I don't know, I'm not from this area and as an American perhaps my standards (for restaurant service ) is inappropriate for this area/town. If you're not the least bit sensitive about service you should visit Thompson for the great food!

    Well we got in just in time for last call,, so we were sat right away and had to order quick quick. It's proper etiquette since they were gracious enough to even seat us. So we did a scan scan on their menu and I went with a Canadian Red Ale and Steak Bites for an Appetizer. My one colleague ordered the Chips and my other colleague did the Yam Fries. Ya kno, food to pick at while drinking alcohol. Yam Fries: Similar to sweet potato fries, these guys are pretty darn good. Chips: Perfectly crispy, like the ones that come is a bag from the grocery, but is actually made in house. I adore these and I want to definitely fabricate these at the house one day. Steak Bites: Perfectly cooked bite sized beef pieces. The focaccia was a perfect match and the Aioli is sublime. It's perfect with my red Ale. Yes I broke my, "No Hotel Restaurant" rule. BUT it was -30°c/-23°f windchill outside ok. We weren't exactly prepared for an arctic expedition. So I think the exception stands. Plus this place is amazing. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

    Great fish and chips.

    I stay at the Hyatt frequently. Thomson's is one of my favorite restaurants to eat and relax at. Great food, ambiance and service. Trouville, I probably spelled his name wrong is always a great bartender. I'm looking forward to my next stay the Hyatt so I can go to Thomson's.

    Great atmosphere, located in the Hyatt on Stephen Ave, this restaurant will not disappoint. The food here was excellent with a number of alberta inspired dishes, at a reasonable price point.

    Pretty good cold section

    Thomsons is the main breakfast/brunch buffet inside the Hyatt Calgary, and its one of the better ones I've tried. It is spacious, has a cool Western decor, and has a number of good items not common in hotel brunch buffets I've been to. Its on the pricey side at upwards of 30 CAD/pp though. My faves: Pesto skin-on-salmon: Pleasantly shocked that fish on a buffet line can be so soft, juicy, and well seasoned. Roasted Veggies: Good variety here, including white asparagus. Roast Beef: Never too early to have this! Well seasoned, tender, and so good with horseradish. Corn Quinoa Risotto: Very good. Calgary is famous for their beef and corn. This dish is a healthier version of the Italian version and had a nice, pleasant sweetness from the corn. I didn't like the yogurt parfait too much - yogurt was on the tart side despite the excellent toppings. Their dessert section was pretty impressive. In honor of Calgary Pride Celebration they had a nice rainbow Panna Cotta that was smooth and sweet.

    We just went for dinner last night, the Christmas buffet dinner was amazing- I will post photos here, you cannot have any problem with the food whatsoever... My favourite thing by far was the roast beef which is always been my favourite meal and I stood in line twice to get one, they ran out just before I had my plate filled but fortunately they had a replacement within minutes so that was good and the desserts are unbelievable... The sticky toffee pudding with the butterscotch sauce was spectacular... However the cleaning staff should definitely check their bathrooms more often, when I was there last night four out of five stalls were filthy and there was toilet paper all over the floor. In total the meal cost me over $500 which is a lot of money for three people and no alcohol.... You would expect cleaner bathrooms for this price. Plus the lobby is really really really tiny but obviously that's something that's too late to fix. Also the cattlecall for the 6 PM sitting for Christmas buffet dinner was absolutely crazy- in the lineup went in two different directions with no organization and the wait is very very long and confused and considering a lot of people still have Covid and nobody was wearing masks ..... pretty terrible first impression

    Brunch buffet candy bar and desserts

    I've been here a bunch of times but only for the breakfast and brunch buffets on the weekends. Its always been consistent in the quality and variety of the items. On the breakfast side of things there are fresh eggs Benedict, waffles, and pancakes made to order and brought to your table. There is an omelet station, traditional pans of bacon, sausage, eggs, French toast and hash browns. Also is salmon and cream cheese, bagels & toast, yogurt and granola, fruit, fresh juice and smoothie shots, cereals and pastries. I'm not a fan of their coffee (fix the coffee, it's bitter!) but the orange juice is good. On the brunch buffet is a carving station, mashed potatoes & gravy, soups, buns & rolls, cold salads, pastas, charcuterie items, pickles & olives, and a dessert bar with custards, pastries, and a candy bar. The service is amazing. Ringo is the best server I've ever had in any establishment. Ask to be sat in his section, you will thank me for it later.

    See all

    Originally 4 stars but 5 stars given they professionally remedied the situation…read more I went here on a Tuesday morning for brunch and it was still fairly busy, but I was seated immediately. If you show up after 9am, be prepared to wait a bit or make reservations in advance on Toast to be safe. I tried their newer item, birria de res eggs benedict, which is served on cheese bannock, an indigenous Canadian bread, and opted to sub potatoes/salad for garlic fried rice for 3 CAD surcharge, which is well worth it. The beef was tender and the eggs are perfectly runny and the cheese bannock added heartiness and a more unique texture compared to English muffin. It is a combo of Mexican, indigenous Canadian, and Filipino influences all in 1 dish! To pair with the food, I had a pineapple mimosa which was of good portion. Originally, the dish had hair so I caught it and flagged the issue, so they immediately remade the whole dish for me, apologized, and comped my mimosa so despite losing 10 min of my time, I am okay with this remedy, so I rate this experience for the food and service outside of this incident. This is one of the more innovative and delicious brunch spots I have tried, so it is no surprise this place is fairly hyped up

    This place serves very unique brunch menu items. I got the "My Breakfast in Tokyo" and thought it…read morewas alright. It came with thick cut smoked salmon on top of sushi seasoned rice with poached eggs, seaweed, and spinach on the side. The seaweed pieces tasted old and were hard to chew. The seasoned rice had too much vinegar in it. The poached egg and salmon tasted fine. It also came with miso soup but it tasted strange, not sure why there was oil in it... miso soup usually does not contain oil. My fiance got the Breakfast in Manila and thought it was alright as well. The rice was too salty and the sausage tasted like low quality meat. It seemed like they were short on waitresses and it took a while for them to take our order and for us to get the check. This place is also a plant store and it felt cozy. Overall had a decent experience.

By the time it arrived, everything was stone cold. The cheese was literally hard from melting and then going cold, the potatoes were undercooked and raw, and the entire meal was completely inedible. Spending $35 on food that went straight in the garbage is beyond frustrating, it's infuriating. And the $5 "seasonal fruit bowl" looked like someone's picked-over leftovers. A couple random pieces tossed in a container and sent out like that's acceptable? It's honestly disgusting and shows a complete lack of quality control. At this point, I would've been better off ordering McDonald's for a third of the price, because at least it would've shown up hot and edible. This is careless, overpriced, and completely unacceptable. 1STAR. Complete fail.
