"Ok, so we had high expectations coming in. This place is very hyped up. We managed to snag last minute reservations for 530pm on a Monday. We were very impressed with the service. Very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. It was our babymoon, and the menu itself said Happy babymoon , which was a special touch. Food wise, we 're giving Husk 3/5 stars because it really didn 't knock our socks off. In fact, we only liked 3 out of the 5 dishes we ordered. Out of those, we only really highly recommend 1. Here 's what we got, starting with the dishes we liked the best: #1: Broadbent country ham, buttermilk biscuits, husk pickles, lusty monk mustard YUM. Like a southern charcuterie board, as it was described by our server. #2: Cornmeal fried catfish, white cheddar grits, collard greens this was really good too, but not something I would feel compelled to order again. The catfish by itself was okay, but a bite with the catfish, grits, and collard greens together was wonderful! #3: Sweet potato bread pudding with toasted marshmallow too sweet for me, but my husband really liked it. #4: Lamb dumplings, okra, chermulah honey yogurt, pecan dukkah did not like these, and they weren 't particularly hot when they came out. Strange because this one came highly recommended by our server. #5: Hearth baked skillet cornbread, broadbent 's bacon crumble how could this not be good???? But it really wasn 't. It was dry and had very little flavor. We didn 't finish this, which is very unlike us."

"This definitely is a niche restaurant in Calgary and a relief from all the steak places, which offer Veggies fake meat substitutes full of fake fat, blood and gristle and only suitable for carnivores on a health kick, these days... The days of the textured bean burger are numbered and these gruesome replacements are going to be the only thing on their menus in future... . Anyway away from that rant... Minimalist and chic with excellent, attentive helpful staff who were not in your face all the time. We arrived a bit early for our reservation and were accommodated without fuss... I had the pear and gorgonzola Ravioli, which was delicate in flavour and rich and filling in content. personally I would have upped the gorgonzola content but I'm weird that way.... Mrs B had the squash pasta which gave her inspiration for future home cooking.. Dessert selection was superlative, though i stupidly went for the Tiramisu which came in a plastic cup with a lid makingit look store bought and wasn't as exciting as the real bakery stuff they had in the display fridge. I was too lazy to go and look so that's my own fault.... Wine was good value. I just had the house white and it was pleasant, dry and a nice quaff. Didn't taste like the cheapest hock they could find and was up my street for a casual drinking wine. Only concern was that we had a starter but were only part way through when the main course arrived.. at least though they didn't whip the starter away, which I have had done elsewhere! Prices are a wee bit on the high side, but again in this time of inflation they probably need it to survive. I would recommend it as a change from the boring old chains which unfortunately remain ubiquitous throughout Canada More power to their independent elbow!"
