WORKSHOP kitchen culture - Calgary

Went to the Workshop tonight for the 5 course tasting menu and the staff didn't disappoint. I sat at the kitchen bar so I was able to watch my meal being prepared. The food was absolutely amazing. The pancetta wrapped prawns went beautifully with the pickled veg and frisée underneath. The asparagus risotto was perfectly cooked and mixing the poached egg in made it sublimely silky. The main was the most perfectly prepared steak I've ever had. The cheese topped apple tart paired nicely with the basil jam and apple-fig compote. The shortcake type dessert, with strawberry rhubarb topping was an excellent finish. As amazing as the food was, it was my conversation with the cooks on the line that truly made the evening. They were humbly receptive to my praise, and listened earnestly to my only negative feedback (the strawberry gel had too much gelatin), promising to pass it on to the chef. We also spoke at length about how to make Brussels sprouts taste great. I can't wait for my next adventure! Happy Halloween!

We spent 2 nights in Calgary and had dinner here BOTH nights! The food was amazing and Brendan's wine/drink pairings were spot on! Couldn't ask for better service. We will recommend this restaurant experience to everyone we know!

A most delightful experience! Tastebuds tantalized with each course, relaxing atmosphere and excellent service. Loved the open kitchen concept! Truly memorable and will definitely recommend and return.

We had a wonderful time with friends at Workshop. The food was absolutely delicious! Jennifer, our waitress, was top-notch. Thank you!

Went there tonight which is what they call 'No Menu Mondays ' it was a choice between 3 or 5 course. All I can say is by golly that was such an incredibly delicious and satisfying meal plus I didn 't even have to choose what to order other than my drink which was a beyond tasty in house-made maple cinnamon cream soda which tasted like heaven!!!! Chef Alex and his awesome support team and fabulous servers killed it!! Thank you so much for the divine culinary experience. Will definitely be coming back.
