I've eaten at a lot of Michelin star restaurants, but am really curious as to why you cite Alloy. For the life of me I want to love this place, based on it's location, but have never had a great meal there. I'm just curious. Everything else on your list is spot on.
La Bernardin was an outstanding memory. Ever had eats in Atlanta? Crazy area for food.

If you want to go old school, I personally love La Chaumiere, but I have a bias.
After that it depends on your opinion of fine dining. Calgary does not have Michelin star restoraunts like in the large US cities. Don't get me wrong as a person who's hobby is travel to eat, Calgary has some great dining spots. Just don't expect Le Bernardin level of fine dining.
I think the Chef Tasting at Chef's Table is the closest I have had to an upper level large US city meal in Calgary. To be honest I just don't go with my wife all that often here for fine dining. We typically go more casual, and mostly to Anju. Roy Oh is a fantastic chef, can't say enough good things about Anju, but again I am a bit biased as I have eaten lots of Korean in my life. Carino is very good as well for lunch or dinner. Black Pig is very good for dinner.
