Raw Bar - Calgary, Alberta

Expensive and small portions. While the cocktails were unique we found the small plates lacking and expensive for what we received. The rare beef and radish was incredible but for 2 people you only get 2 bites. It had a balanced dressing and freshness from the herbs that made it our ... favorite of the evening. The tempura salad roll on the other hand was disappointing as it was small and thin. Everything was lacking and the sauce wasn't enough to save the dish. There maybe a few exceptions but for the most part all the small plates were okay but nothing stood out. Read more

Came here for some bites on the weekend but wasn't sure how the food would be, since the last time I ate here was at least couple years ago. First off, the food turned out AMAZING. Really enjoyed my ahi tuna tacos which were made with a taro root shell. ... The beef burger was also delicious AF. For drinks, we went with the traditional at first - a couple of gin & tonics... But they weren't quite "wow". I personally didn't like the aftertaste but the bf thought it was ok. We ended up asking the bartender (Afis? Afez? 😅) to surprise us, and he made us a drink with whiskey, wine, and egg whites. I've never had this combo before, and I'm sure there's a proper name for it, but damn give it a shot! It's SO good. Thanks for the recommendation we'll be back! Read more

Okay, simply stated, Fantastic!!! We had a brilliant server name Barret, he made the night more worth while, we will definetly be back with more people/friends. The atmoshpere was clean and enjoyable, they have great decor and settings. We had no idea what to order first or drink, Barret had ... literally the answer, or suggestion for what would fit with our taste. he was exceptional with knowing the menu dishes, tastes, flavours, the hotel arts events coming up, good all around service is hard to come by and a very decent priced menu. They went above and beyond to make a custom chocolate martini(Superb), all the drinks we had were worth going back for along with the memerable service from Barret, and staff. It is a must try/see venue! #NoSalt #Girlsnightout Read more

Good food but menu was a bit slim. It could use a few more items to choose from.

The atmosphere and the food were top notch. We really enjoy the ambient surroundings. Lots of good varieties under small plates. They do have happy hours 1/2 prices small plates. Very decent price. The flavor was top-notch and on point. Our top small plates to try is the chicken wings ... and the tofu dish very delicious and also try the Mika rolls. Where it fell short for us is the service were mix and match. Some of our dishes came out different times and we waited for long time for certain dishes almost 45 mins and 20 mins for our dessert. I believe the kitchen were falling behind , But our server did not do to satisfy our disappointment for waiting for our dishes. For a upper end restaurant I expected better service. I had much better service at Earls than at raw bar. I may come back again to give it another shot but it was very disappointing service wise what the food is excellent Read more
