Ate there last Friday but was quite disappointed. The chicken was an absolute salt bomb (probably over-brined), and the Gai lan was devoid of flavor even with their sauce. While the Salmon was cooked perfectly, it was also very under seasoned (the limited quantity of sauce didnt do much to solve this), and the extremely overcooked "chorizo" slices that accompanied the salmon were these awful hard discs that tasted like reconstituted beef jerky. The spicy potatoes and avocado chocolate pie were good, but nothing mind blowing.

Also pretty expensive for mediocre food wrapped in faux hipster veneer that doesn't use pricey ingredients. Our bill was ~80$ for this, feeding two people without alcohol.

I appreciate the need for some variety in the Calgary food scene, but once people see past the novelty this is a meh restaurant at best.
