    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!!!

    The tenderloin

    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!

    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.

    A VERY special and LOUD shout out to hostess Phoebe for making my birthday EXTRA happy this past…read moreSaturday. Kind, well-spoken, gentle, efficient, always a smile on her face and she went above and beyond. I had a 12:15 pm reservation. Unfortunately a group was taking much longer than expected. I waited over 30+ mins to be seated and so yes, I could've made a scene, but that wouldn't be me. Phoebe could've just let things be ... you know? Because "it is what it is". But she didn't. Once she seated me and my friend, she offered to take photos for me and of me. SO thoughtful! She also brought me a beautiful ice cream with a sparkling candle in it. SO sweet! She smiled at me every time she walked by almost as a way to make sure I was doing OK and feeling good. She was WAY more attentive than our female server who looked, sounded and acted like she couldn't leave work soon enough. Wasn't going to let her dampen my birthday though... Food tasted good. Presentation was beautiful. The male server who took over was SUPERB. Genuinely happy to "close out" our transaction with him. He was super attentive and willing to make everything go well. Thank you, Phoebe and male server for making my birthday memorable. XO

However, during my most recent visit, the service was disappointing. After we were seated, we waved to a waiter for assistance. He acknowledged us and said he would come back, but instead spent more than 15 minutes talking to other customers without returning to take our order. We felt overlooked and eventually had to ask another waitress for help. I still enjoy the restaurant and its food, but I hope the service can be more attentive in the future.

I ordered The Gold Standard which is a smoked bacon-stuffed Belgian waffle with slow-roasted bacon lardons, salted caramel, gold dust, and Quebec maple syrup ($19.25). It was very good. The waffle plus the salted caramel and real maple is a serious sweet-savory combo. Paired it with a Caffè Latte made with oat milk ($6), which was smooth and did the job. Service was great. They were riendly and on top of things. Parking was easy on a side street downtown, which is always a nice bonus. Solid food, good coffee, great patio vibe. I'd return.

Best of all, the food was delicious. Every dish we tried over the two days with a party of five was exactly as described. They were able to accommodate our dairy allergy and gluten free preferences. We loved the chicken and waffles and the Holy CRaB (if that's your sort of food). The waffle dishes have a delicious light almond flavor and were the perfect consistency and texture. My family also loved their hashes, chia seed pudding, crepes and pancakes. Even the drinks were delicious.

    What I love about this place is how inclusive it is while being so flavor forward…read more Our group had vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, folks with walnut allergy and dairy intolerance and we all found plenty of options to pick from and try the range. Vegan breakfast options that too savory are hard to come by. You're limited to soy or coconut yogurt or just potatoes but this place had buddha bowl, tofu bowl, ramen, salads. So many options. Additionally they can make modifications to accomodate any requirements. We had our coffees made with soy milk and sugar free syrup. Everything is plated so beautifully. Super fast and friendly service. You must reserve ahead online a day before atleast before you go to ensure they confirm a spot because the seating is limited. In addition to kitchen items they also have a small bakery shelf for banana breads or anything else. 10/10 would recommend.

We were shocked to find another couple sitting at our reserved table--frankly, I hadn't anticipated it would be a shared table for eight in the first place. To make matters worse, we were rushed to order and pay the bill. After that couple left, another pair were seated at our six-person table without any explanation. Our dishes arrived in two separate waves with a 10-minute gap. They also automatically added an 18% tip for parties of more than five people, which I expect at least we should have a private table. When I expressed my dissatisfaction to the server, the owner came out and became confrontational and aggressive. He raised his voice, saying I could "tell him what I am not satisfied with." Then he offered a refund, which I immediately declined, and afterward snatched a package of coffee from the counter and offered it as compensation. I refused again--it felt more like an insult than a genuine apology. After we posted our reviews, the owner privately messaged my friend, asking us to remove them and citing the "small Chinese community" as a reason we should support each other. That's incredibly manipulative. Using community guilt to pressure customers into deleting honest feedback is inappropriate and only reinforces our negative experience. I will not be returning.

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.
