    Excellent service and food. They took away our plate a bit fast while there was still something on it, but overall good time there.

    We had family come to town and we thought Hayden Block would be a great place to take them as they love barbecue. The ambiance in the back with the fireplace is fantastic. It was great that my 16 year old nephew was able to enjoy the spot as they allow minors until 8:00 pm. The service was fantastic and the food delicious. The brisket was very tender. All of the sides were excellent. If you are a whiskey drinker they have an incredible selection which is half off during happy hour 3:00 - 6:00 pm Monday - Friday.

    Valentines’s day was the first time and a while since my wife and planned a dinner or any type of outing in general. With two kids, a three year old and a six month old, free time is a rarity, dare I say a luxury. We mustered our courage and committed to going out in the frigid weather. Seeing the little one is currently breastfeeding, my wife wanted her to stay with us in any of our future outings. After making dinner plans and babysitting with my family for our son, we found ourselves running fashionably late. We proceeded to make our way there nonetheless hoping that there would be some clemency on our behalf. Sure enough, even after arriving an hour late, the two young ladies a the front inquired as to what can be done. The manager for the evening came and moved some things around and managed our expectations saying that we would be moving to a a table which has an appointment in an hour and 15 mins which was greatly appreciated! From the food to the customer service, the standard was to our expectation. The crew on service for the evening ran a tight ship and made the evening look flawless. The manager, what can I say, she had nerves of Steele coordinating such a busy evening. We will definitely come back, this time alone, to fully appreciate such an establishment! Well done to all

    We were very pleased with our first visit to Our House. We had been to this location of restaurant and want to give kudos on opening up the space -- well done. We came for Wine Thursday and the wine list gave us too many choices and the meat loaf and lamb shank were delicious and we enjoyed the house made Black Forest Cake. Thank you for making our night out one to remember.

    This Earl's is amazing! Our server was so fabulous last night - I wish I had caught his name. We had a food allergy at the table and a manager came over to assure us that they would take the utmost care with it. We even got a free dessert as we had tickets for the Alberta Ballet! will be back for sure.
