    Sat at the Kitchen Hi Tops. Fun to watch the kitchen orchestrate the meals! Wonderful pasta meals with my daughter before enjoying the tribute to Bob Marley at the Calgary Philharmonic

    Our pre-theatre dinner couldn't have been better. It was our first visit to this beautiful restaurant and it is amazing. The delicious food and awesome service provided by Stef insured our return in the near future.
