Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Pigeonhole on 17th Ave is a vibrant culinary gem, known for its "fantastic service" and "amazing food." Guests rave about the "charred cabbage," "beef tartare," and delightful "cocktails." The ambiance is both cozy and chic, with vinyl records adding to the experience. A must-visit for any occasion.

    From the moment we came in to the service and the incredible food. I’m floored and grateful I got to experience such magic. When I’m visiting town I will be sure to go again!!

    The staff, ambiance, drinks (which were delicious !) and appetizers were amazing. Where points were lost was with the main course which was disappointing, because we were looking forward to trying it.

    Absolutely amazing!! Every single dish and cocktail was so good. Started with the scallop crudo, then had the mushroom croquettes and charred cabbage, and finally shared the Manitoba pickerel. Exceeded expectations. Super friendly servers as well!!

    It was mostly fun, service was great. But it was pretty loud where we were seated.

    Amazing experience at Pigeonhole. The service, the portions, the flavour, the presentation all were the best we have experienced. This was our first time, and will not be our last. If you have not experienced a real treasure in DT Calgary, then please make the time to.

    This is my third time at Pigeonhole, and it does not disappoint. The food is outstanding - some of my personal faves are the charred cabbage, the mushroom croquettes and the warm maple cake. So so good! The service is also incredible, very friendly and personable staff, and a cozy ambience to top it all off. I highly recommend this spot!

    Hey Claire! Thank you so much for taking the time to review us! I'm very partial to the Maple Cake myself! Can't wait to host you a 4th, 5th and 6th time! All the best, Connor S, AGM
