Returned with a group of 8 family members and it was a huge miss. Knocked my restaurant recommendation credibility down a ton. Must have been a bad night in the kitchen. Tons of items weren't seasoned or anything.

May return next to try lunch, but not in a rush.

Rouge was pretty average and overpriced. Nothing stood out about it. There are a lot of good Calgary restaurants, but they don't even come close to measuring up once you hit New York, Vegas, etc. Workshop stands out.

Intenso (formerly Abruzzo) disappeared in the night.

Looks like it is being remodeled to become something else.

So given the current circumstances this is a bit of an odd request... but I need help with a decent takeout/delivery option for tomorrow, for my wife's birthday.

She works in pharmacy and has been going into work diligently each day, while I WFH and chill with the cat.

What's my best bet for local dinner delivery in this strange new world? We're located in the SW (Canyon Meadows) but she works up in the NE, so anything she can pick up on the way home is fair game.

Is that place good? It's close to me and I should probably try it anyway.

Ordered pizza from Carmine's south last night, along with some garlic knots. The food was exceptional imo. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had. I really hope they survive this covid ####. I will definitely order again.

Did you give it a try? If so, was it as good as I imagine it to be?
