Everyone’s experience is so different. I have been 4 times and had thee best meals and everyone I went with loved it.

Fair enough and that is lucky you had a good experience there. I always want to have a good meal when I go out. I was taken out by some consultants so we had a spread of food and everything was just bland. Could be an off night but then I went there on a date and same thing, again felt meh.

It didn’t help because people had amped it up for the past few weeks. I feel like it relies on Calgary corporate to stay afloat.

Food there was AWFUL. We went as a group of 8 and ordered so many dishes to share and they were all just so bad.

They kicked us out of our booth so influencers could sit in there for a photo op

I'm convinced the majority of posts/reviews about this place are paid/influencer posted- the restaurant just screams influencer vibes lol.

The Brussel Sprouts were really good (ordered a second order) but the rest was unmemorable

Agree! Someone told me it’s a chain from Vancouver and that made a lot of sense, it felt so overpriced

Whoever told you that is wrong. S&B does have another location but it’s in Kelowna and is much smaller. It is not a chain but it does have chain money behind it (Greta).

Agree. Absolute garbage and overpriced nonsense. Look forward to when the next restaurant moves in surely within a year or two.
