"we loved eating in the vin room west since they opened. they have an almost incomparable wine list that was curated by the owner mentally. the flights of wein and beer are a fun opportunity to experience the wide range of wein and beer. the vin room offers. in the course of the years the menu has changed, but eating is always thoughtful and fresh. we were happy to see recently some changes on the menu that contains angry kartoffels with grease and the new auberginen tonkatsu boiled. vin room 's happy hour could be the best worth in calgary. we love the charcuterie board and hummus, but recommend to avoid the pasta pomodoro, as taste in the tomato sauce was missing. we would like to see that a part of the menu vin room happy hour the mission in the west happy hour menu and a gourmet bread potato (poutine? the offer during the happy hour would be welcome! the new desserts contain a gluten-free chocolate cake, but we found it dry and crispy. Hopefully, the restaurant will replace it with another chocolate dessert, which corresponds to the quality of the remaining menu. we did not try out the new lemon olive oil cake, but we appreciate the urgently necessary changes in the Dessert menu. the restaurant is located directly on the 85th street, but there is a terrace that is pleasant in summer so that you can enjoy with your canine friends! we love the ambiente in vin room west. it is classic, uplifted and always radio clean. it is one of the few restaurants that we have visited frequently, which does not bombard guests with annoying. we can with our engaged and family without competitive with loud music and bad restaurant acoustics. staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the drink and food card. vin room offers a much needed upscale dining room experience in calgary’s distant western suburbs."

"I recently visited Izakaya Takasei and had a mixed experience.My boyfriend and I ordered the takoyaki, chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl, several yakitori, takowasabi (raw octopus with wasabi), and the Kobe beef roll. While the takoyaki and yakitori were delicious, the chicken cutlet and egg rice bowl was really bland. The Kobe beef roll was a bit odd with the combination of garlic butter and tataki sauce. Unfortunately, there were also a few items on the menu that were no longer available, which was a bit disappointing. It would be good for the restaurant to update their menu to avoid any confusion or disappointments.While the food at Izakaya Takasei comes out quickly, this can also be a double-edged sword. During my visit, my boyfriend and I received several dishes at once, which meant that a lot of our food was sitting out and getting cold while we were eating the others. It would be great if the kitchen could pace the dishes better to ensure that everything is served at the optimal temperature.The service was a bit lackluster as well. The only time we were able to ask for condiments, utensils, and more water was when the employees brought our food out. No one checked on us throughout our meal, and it would have been nice to have a more attentive staff.On the plus side, the restaurant has nice Japanese decor and is quite spacious. However, there was no background music, which made the ambiance a bit dull.Overall, while there were some drawbacks, Izakaya Takasei may be worth checking out if you're in the area and in the mood for some Japanese cuisine. Just be sure to join the wait-list on Yelp beforehand and check in with the host when you arrive."
