Restaurants near James Short Park

Second time eating at Barbarella and it was still a stellar experience! Brought my parents here to celebrate their anniversary and they were happy with the amount of options and ambience. We enjoyed every dish that we ordered - one pasta, one pizza, a steak and roasted tiger shrimp! The flavours were all balanced and delicious. The roasted tiger shrimp could have a bit more shrimp considering the price - but the taste was most excellent. Every other dish felt justifiable for the price, and we'll definitely come back!

The staff are always friendly and attentive, making sure you’re well taken care of. Despite it being Christmas Eve and the restaurant being full, the service was prompt, and the food arrived hot. I had the Escargot as an appetizer, followed by lobster tails for the main course—both were cooked to perfection. I also tried the house-made Kegnog, which was absolutely delicious. A wonderful dining experience all around!

We had the best experience at Modern Steak. The best Manhattan's we've ever had and the meal was fantastic! Delicious, grilled to perfection steaks (filet & rib eye) and sides (mashed potato, mushrooms, white bean), wine and complimentary port at the end of our meal. We are from Ontario but will be back when we visit Calgary again!

I have been at this restaurant many times. The food is always excellent. And the views are amazing. I only wish they have better and more non alcoholic drinks choices like lemonade, apple juice and other basic drinks. Specially for people that don’t drink alcohol or non-alcoholic bar drinks.

Our server Konnor had great personality and provided excellent service. He was always at our table at the right time. The fried mac and cheese sticks were delicious and the porterhouse and salmon were well worth the price. Shoutout to Brad, if you check hospitality in a dictionary, you would see his photo. Thank you for taking care of us.
