Mussel's and frites with a Red curry broth. Definitely improved from the bits of sausage.
Sangria:
I am told that it's supposed to be more like a slushy, whereas this has chunks of ice.

Quarter rotisserie chicken with artisan greens and coleslaw.
Grilled cheese with chicken, bacon and smoked cheddar
The famous Stilton cheesecake brûlée with a rhubarb compote. I think this cheesecake was very rich for my taste, it could be the stilton, but otherwise fantastic. The brûlée topping was my favourite part.
It's like where's Waldo, but can you spot Chef Michael Noble?
***09/07/10***
This fabulous restaurant is a new creation by Chef Michael Noble (formerly of Catch). Apparently I did not know about the underground parking that exists through the back. I did not see any signage, but I just saw a tweet from NotableCalgary. There is a lot of side street parking or parking in front of other businesses (ideally after 6pm). Reminds me a bit of O in Marda loop.
They have Canmore pop on the menu including cherry cola and ginger beer.
Our server also explained the "Q" water concept. I heard about this at Una Pizza & wine. They charge $1 for distilled or sparkling water, it is a filtered water designed to cut down on the costs of bottled water. I like the idea, esp for those who do drink bottle water, however, I drink right from the tap. You know the fluoride in tap water is good for your teeth.
French onion soup (of the day)
Mussels & Frites: The mussels were large and absolutely delicious in the creamy broth. The broth had chunks of sausage in it that probably helped with the flavour but wasn't that edible. The fries were spiced nicely but I'm not a huge fan of the texture, more of a thick cut potato.
My friend had the pulled chicken sandwich. She said the bread was too dry for her liking.
I had the crab and shrimp bake with toast. This 'dip' is absolutely fantastic. I would prefer pita or naan bread than toast but overall it was so delicious.
*The only issue I had was maybe the wait time between courses was a bit long. Also, my friend had ordered the flourless chocolate cake to go and our server said that there was ice cream in it so it would have to be transported fairly quickly. Okay, not a problem. But they gave us not much time to sort out the bill and I felt really rushed out the restaurant. Yes I understand the ice cream situation. But perhaps just let us sort out the bill first, and then bring out the take out cake with ice cream right before we leave. Our server did open the doors for us, so that was a nice touch. Just the rush feeling could be left out next time.
