Thoughtfully sourced Canadian cuisine & elevated cocktails in a romantic, chic dining room.
10/10. My mother had purchased myself and my boyfriend a giftcard to this restaurant to enjoy an evening here before an event at the theatre. Upon arrival, we were seated and the owner had came over and introduced herself - due to the conversing my mother had with her (not mentioning her name, just for her privacy). However, this I found to be the sweetest gesture. She walked us through the menu... she was amazing. The food was incredible, open concept kitchen - you can see how they cook their meals. Our server was excellent. Will 100% be returning here. I hope this place thrives and I really do recommend this place - the type of food falls moreso on the seafood scale for those wondering! great place and can't wait to go back!
Superb in every way. Exceptional service, a terrific menu at very fair prices, excellent cocktails for $14, a beautiful building with real exposed brick, and a nice ambiance. We had a "dinner with strangers" event there and they excelled.
I absolutely adore this place!!! I finally got to try this place after hearing about it so much from my partner who has visited Calgary many times for work. He really wanted me to try the 10 oz CHÂTEAUBRIAND. Even though I'm not a huge steak person, this blew my socks off - best cooked steak I've had ever, with accompanied veggies that felt so homey & perfectly flavorful. We also had the pepper & salt grilled squid, frozen cheesecake mousse, and cocktails that were all unique and delicious. I hope I get to come back in the future and try other items on the menu 😊 the service was outstanding, I was very impressed with the gentleman that served us... the ambience is lovely as well!
Loved everything about our experience here. We had a family dinner here on the last night of our family vacation. The staff and service were top notch. Food was all well presented and excellent tasting. Drinks from the bar were all beautiful and great. Prices were reasonable. Atmosphere has a perfect mixture of modern furniture and lighting while preserving some of the antique touches of the original space. Our server was prompt, efficient, and very sweet.
In town on business with a group. From start to finish, the meal was absolutely outstanding! Every bite was highly recommended by all 6 in our group. Freshest ingredients made to order. Must haves are the candied pork belly, chicken entree, pork tenderloin entree, and the made to order donuts, all so delicious. Thank you David for the wonderful service! Will be recommending to anyone visiting Calgary.
Was seated at the bar, and was able to see open concept kitchen - very interesting! The scallops were delicious, the pork sweet but somewhat dry. The garlic bread was very good.
An amazing find on Stephen Avenue in the heart of Calgary. Great service and conversation with David about Canada and what to do. Amazing pork belly (WOW). Food was inspired by local cuisine and delicious - very creative. Would recommend popping in and supporting the local food scene. THANK YOU
The food was incredible, and the waitstaff impressed me with their knowledge of the menu. It was a pleasant dining experience! Highly recommend their candied pork belly, it's a must-try.
I went there with my parents, and we had an amazing time with exceptional service and delicious food. The design of the open kitchen really stood out, adding a warm and inviting atmosphere to the dining experience!
Absolutely amazing place for dinner. Booked reservations online but it only had spots available at the bar sitting, we were lucky enough to get reseated at an available table for our date night. Very happy with the food and service, we had the special for the evening which was a duck dish. They provided a knife but the meat was cooked so perfectly it pulled apart with a fork, absolutely delicious. Usually when the presentation is top notch like this, the quantities on the plate leave something to be desired on a hunger side of things, but I left fully satiated. Very happy with the food and atmosphere and will likely return.
Excellent staff very knowledgeable and attentive. Every at the table loved there food and everything on the menu looked good. I enjoyed the idea of upscale local cuisine. Prices were reasonable for being downtown and for the quality you get.
Get the candied pork belly. Actually get 3 of them, per person, and then get one to go.
This place is an absolute gem on all fronts. Delicious, beautiful food, amazing staff and great atmosphere. Keep it up!
Incredible place ! Amazing burger and incredible staff !
Been a few times and it s excellent every time! The rotating specials are amazing, great drinks and top notch staff!
Absolutely delicious. Prices were pretty reasonable considering how fancy and delicious the food was. Decent portion size on the mains too. Our waitress Niki was very friendly and welcoming. Travelled down to Calgary from Lacombe for a concert, and popped in here since it s close to Jack Singer Hall, also saw one of my hometown beers (Blindman Brewery) on the menu. Excellent experience!!
Outstanding food, honestly a cut above any other places I ve eaten at while visiting. Extremely reasonable prices and great selection of some hard to find favourites.
Flavoursome, high quality food, with friendly and attentive staff.
delicious! Too delicious! no matter what you eat or drink Super delicious. And the staff Everyone is friendly and kind. I can guide you alone. Everyone came to the store with two or more people except me!
Food was pretty weak to be honest. Proteins all overcooked and dry. Root vegetables undercooked. Kinda overpriced. Probably wont go back. Constantly had to ask for cutlery so we could eat as they kept forgetting .
Beautiful space, excellent food, drinks and service. Xochilt was our bartender and she was just amazing, can t wait to visit again.
Everytime I come here, I am more blown away than the last. The food is absolutely mouth watering and so well made. Service is always prompt and attentive. You can tell your server genuinely cares about you and tries to make your experience top notch every time. Highly recommend!
Everything was good flavour wise, lots of complex unique flavours, but the duck was underwhelming. Chewy for its price point. I expected a tender bite and was disappointed, but I will say the veggies and jus were great. I tried the duck, pasta of the day with chicken, and seasonal salmon. Portions are satisfactory.
Awesome business lunch place! Great burger.
Great great food, friendly and attentive service from David W. Would highly recommend, especially sitting outside.
Downtown for business dinner and this was the perfect spot! Great location on 8th and the food and service outstanding!
The food here is very good, not incredible but solid. The wait staff seems over worked. They forgot multiple things and it seems like that was happening with other people around us. Overall would not return.
We were taking friends from the UK out for dinner and chose Klein Harris. We have been before and had the pork bites and Boursin cheese plate and tried the new salt and pepper squid. All delicious. The menu has changed a little so we chose the chateaubriand for two, at a price point of $78. Brilliant choice. Awesome meal with the meat cooked to a perfect rare with so much flavour. Cut it with our fork. Comes with cheese stuffed fingerling potatoes, cauliflower, soy mushrooms and peppers. Totally amazing meal. Plenty of food for 2. Thanks chef, James! Our server was gracious, and very helpful with our wine selection. Thanks Klein Harris for the hospitality and the fine meal. We will be back!
Delicious food & drink, great service Only negative was sitting on patio with smokers nearby Food
My husband and I wanted to try some Canadian flavors, and we found this restaurant on TripAdvisor. The scallops were absolutely delicious, paired creatively with apple sauce I could easily eat another serving! The salad was exceptionally tasty and appetizing, and both the chicken and pork main dishes were very delicious. The staff were warm and friendly, and the environment was clean and tranquil. Everything about our experience was wonderful!
In the travel gems, there is Klein / Harris. Small restaurant in the heart of Calgary, a little sulky during the Stampede because the restaurant was not very crowded. Good for us, but this restaurant deserves to have a lot of traffic. Outstanding service, surprising prices for the quality of the dishes we were served. Duck, pork belly, fresh vegetables, squid, everything was there. The winner of the meal, the shrimp...thats why youll see 2 photos, it opens our meal and we ordered some again for dessert. The price indicated per person that I gave included tip and 4 glasses of bubbles. They have great specials that vary daily. Seriously sad hes so far away, it would probably become a habit.
I love their happy hour menu
Can t say enough! The food was so tasty- choice of drinks, appies, and plates were delicious. Wish I took pics - each piece was like a work of art! Service was amazing and space was comfortable. Nice night out with the girls!
Fish from the market: a delight! Salmon with its crispy skin, an excellent surprise. Very very very good!
Hello everyone Its me with an awesome resturant, patio on Stephen. I was just here for happy hour menu. Atmospere is awesome. The service absolutly 100% plus. The food well I can only say that I had the Meatballs and Toast. My plate was clean. The meatballs were spiced perfectly. Theres something for everyone. I will be back, maybe later for the supper menu which looks awesome. Thanks Emily and rest of staff for a great experience.. PONCHO
We went to Klein/Harris for the anniversary. I was impressed about the good interior and clean open concept kitchen. The service was good, but also very busy. I would like to recommend this place for special occasions.
New menu alert! Klein Harris is a local gem. I ve been a fan of the one punch lunch for some time now, it s D elicious and priced well. This time, I came in to check out new menu items and found the Salmon Crudo. It s light, filling, and it will head straight to the heart for a sushi lovers. The compressed pear adds a hint of heat that makes this my new favourite. Note: I could help finishing with their classic butter tart. 5/5!
A Canadian restaurant where everything you eat is delicious. The portions werent too large, and both the meat and fish were excellent.
My new downtown favorite and weekly lunch spot. Staff are always working together and genuinely friendly - to date have always had a good food experience. Top notch and great vibe & location
Went with 5 others. We followed the recommendations of our server David and had family style appys. We went on to enjoy entrees and every bite of every dish was awesome. The staff clearly love where they work and take pride in what they are doing. This place is awesome.
Burger was one of the best I ever had.
We were in town for 4 days and went to 8 different restaurants. This place is by far my favourite. Christina the host/manager was super fun. James the head chef made sure all meals were cooked to perfection. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
Love thoughtfully sourced food, we had 5 share dishes of oysters, scallops, tar tar, mushroom ravioli and the smoked duck The duck was particularly amazing and the oysters very fresh. The people on the floor seemed to work as a team and everyone was pleasant. The gentleman that greeted us really made us excited for the experience and ambiance is AMAZING The service we got was very meh, it did seem busy and normally if someone is slammed were happy to be patient but we watched our server give attentive service to everyone else and ignore us. Her attitude was mostly pleasant but we were hoping for service to match the thoughtfully crafted food. If wed been rude or used inappropriate language I could understand getting cold shouldered but we make a conscious effort to treat people with dignity. The menu was very interesting and we would have easily spent an additional $100 and had planned to tip 25% instead we tipped 15% on $150ish (even dissapointing service should get the min tip in this economy) and ended our night elsewhere. We probably wont be back but the place is very interesting and the food is high quality and worth checking out .
Food is absolutely amazing and at a fair price compared to most places! We had the crusted boursin cheese, the ravioli, the duck breast and the doughnuts. Everything was amazing!!! That crusted boursin cheese is a must o m g. We will be back to try other things on the menu :) The service was also great, zero wait on anything. That hand crafted Ceaser cocktail they make is also super unique loved it!!
I had their current tasting menu with the cocktail pairings. Everything on the menu paired together beautifully. The peach soda with the salad just had a nice mix of carbonation and sweet/spice to cut through the flavors of bacon and mushrooms in the pate beneath the spinach. The second course of chicken thighs in that glaze rolled into the sweetness of the rum cocktail like a growing wave, and the veg made for a clear palate cleanse between the two. The potato and squash was almost a play on potatoes au gratin and was perfectly rich without overdoing it on the cheese mix. And then the desert was delightfully sweet without being overbearing, and the espresso martini tasted exactly like a iced mocha. Overall? Fantastic. I sat at the bar where you can watch the Chefs work and it was a great opportunity to see masterful plating and assembly of the restaurants offerings. Go. Get what they recommend. You wont be disappointed.
Excellent burger, cooked to order. We need more of this in the burger world .
Amazing service, wonderful food, enjoyable atmosphere, excellent value. One of our favourite places to go for an evening out. Highly recommend.
Local menu with unique flair.
We enjoyed the Scallops, mushroom Ravioli, Beef skillet were all amazing but our favourite was the Candied pork belly. Dessert was the cheesecake mousse which didnt last longer it was so tasty! I am hopeful to return again soon
Excellent experience! The service was great - everyone was really nice and were experts on the menu and each dish. The food was also fantastic. Restaurant was very nicely decorated. I really liked the vibe there. Classy, cool, and very reasonable prices! I think I met one of the partners when I walked in. She was very friendly and passionate about the food and the restaurant. This translated to the whole experience - awesome dishes, meticulous service, and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend!
The food was excellent. Service good. I particularly enjoyed that my allergies were taken into consideration and I could enjoy my meal. Dietary restrictions: I have to avoid dairy, coconuts and peanuts. The staff were very good at meeting my needs.
Absolutely great food with the ability to watch the team pour their hard work into the food right in front of you! Good balanced cocktails and attentive staff made my experience memorable.
Duck was 10/10 service was amazing everything made a good night
Service was pleasant, food was excellent, and the cocktails are truly unique.
Amazing food, wonderful helpful staff. Book ahead.
The Lunar New Year special dinner was delicious. Our table of 4 tried to decide which dish was the favourite. The wonton soup was fragrant, flavourful and just the right serving amount. The chicken was excellent as was the pork. Our server, David W, was funny, personable and very helpful on our drinks selection. Thanks, Jesse, for the delicious drinks you made for us! Plenty of food, served family style, with a small take home box. Chocolates by Hennessy, as the red envelope (box) when the bill was paid. Great evening all round. Thanks James and Christina and your fabulous staff!
Best meal I ve had in a long time! Everything was superb, thank you! We ll be there again very soon!!
Absolutely incredible. Both food and drink were made with all the care and love in the world. (Market fish was a culinary masterpiece in my opinion) Comfortable and cozy atmosphere to share with friends. 10000% would recommend.
The service here was phenomenal. The chefs and staff were very friendly while also polite. Prices were reasonably set and well worth the money. The food was exquisite and beautifully presented. Restaurant itself was elegant and presented a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely recommend giving this place a visit; I certainly will be coming back.
Great food. Some classic dishes with a unique twist. One of the most reasonably priced restaurants downtown.
Finding this restaurant is the best thing that has happened to me today. You can taste not only the quality of their ingredients but also the love they put into crafting their dishes.
We came for dinner and the service was great and the food was outstanding. Can t wait to return
Excellent meal at our first visit here while visiting Calgary. Stayed at tge Hyatt and it was a couple minute walk to Klein / Harris
Great for accommodating my dairy free allergy. The servers were knowledgeable in recommending the alterations that could be made and I was very impressed by the oat milk chocolate ganache in their dessert. Would totally recommend for a date night. Dietary restrictions: Great for dairy free options
Here s my honest review about my experience at Klein/ Harris. Hidden on the corner of Stephen Ave. From the moment you walk through the door, there s a beautiful vibe and ambiance, perfect for Table for 2 . So if you re trying to land a second date, check this spot out for your first date The hostess is always pleasant with a warm welcoming smile, that lets you know you re about to be pampered. The food was delicious, started the night with some delicious cocktails. Jumped in on some 3 way toast, took a nice cruise on the main dish, some crispy pork loin served with potatoes and veggies while singing isn t she lovely in my head, and ended the night with some nice dessert. Now, you have to forgive me for not remembering the names of the dishes, but just check this spot and I bet you won t regret it. The last star is for the portion, I honestly wanted some extra potatoes and veggies to clean off the sauce on my plate. But overall, an amazing experience.
Really high quality dining experience recently at Klein / Harris. A small space on Stephen Ave that doesnt serve anything overly crazy or experimental, just basic ingredients prepared extremely well. Special shout out to the doughnuts for dessert. Great value for what you get as well, with prices right in line with your big brand options (Moxies, Milestones, etc) for a significantly better meal. We will definitely be back.
Excellent food and service! Highly recommend
Me and my husband always come here since our first date and we love the place very authentic and amazing vibes.
Friendly professional staff. Food was fresh and delicious. Great variety of choices. Ahi tuna was divine. Cocktails were top notch! Great ambience.
I have been going there for their lunch special multiple times. The food is always AMAZING and their butter tarts are die for! However, today when we went there, we were charged $6 for a quarter bottle of water without being told there is a charge. Mind you $20ish between 4 of us for still water . I was super confused as we alway asked for still water in the past because I didn t like sparkling water but this time I was charged for the branded water they served, which was never the case before. Next time, I would specify just tap water not the luxury Evian water. The last 5 times I went there for one punch lunch special, I alway got latte with no extra charge. This time I was charged the full price for latte although the lunch special already included coffee - at least, charge the extra, not the entire amount! Overall, it s a good meal but today, the experience was odd and we left with a sour taste.
Excellent ambiance blending heritage with modern nice. Food is always exceptional with well thought plating.
The food was great, the service was weirdly slow. They were getting busier after we sat down but it felt like we were being a little ignored.
Great location, awesome food! Everything that came out of the kitchen was absolutely a work of art. The only downside is the slow service, I am hoping that it was an off-day. I will try again whenever I am in Calgary.
Niki was an amazing server! We had a great valentines dinner with compliments from the chef. Food was amazing, wine was fantastic and service from Niki was very classy and personable will be coming back!
Nice atmosphere drinks ok. Food is just ok. It was my second time there and both times I was underwhelmed. The baby scallops was a big letdown. Not sure whether Ill be back.
Excellent experience here, the food is delicious, cocktails are extraordinary and the prices are pretty reasonable for the experience. I would highly recommend checking this place out! Get the toast 3 ways, and maple pork - trust me. Will definitely be back
We have been in love with Klein / Harris for 3 years! We just spent our 3rd anniversary here and it was spectacular once more! We started with the Butter Leaf Wraps and the Potato Salad. We order the potato salad every single time after it was recommended to us by a close friend and it is always delicious! A perfectly poached egg on the best potato salad Ive ever had! Such texture! Such flavour! As well, the Butter Lettuce Wraps were succulent and dripping with flavour in every bite! It will be difficult to not order them again! For our mains, I had the Black Angus Striploin while my boyfriend had the Salmon Special of the day. Both were amazing! My Striploin was cooked to perfection, softly tender and masterfully paired with mushrooms and a savory sauce. The salmon was fresh and vibrant, every bite brightened the mouth! We finished by sharing their classic butter tart, this time with a delicious sage ice cream. A perfect finish to a perfect meal! We will, of course, be back again soon!
While the menu is small, the food is amazing. Service is top notch. I took some customers here for a lunch and they also enjoyed the food. While I was trying to be good on my calorie on intake, I decided to order a salad w/chicken. It was fantastic! Definitely will visit again!
Food was good, atmosphere was very nice, roomy and pleasant. Been here before, will be back.
New and affordable food!
Wonderful ambience, fantastic service, incredible happy hour, great drinks, and an overall good time. We sat at the bar and had a nice conversation with the chefs and waiter, while enjoying some incredible food and drinks. Thank you! Pork shoulder and haddock sandwich were wonderful, the chicken thighs were really nicely done, and the bean dip and mixed vegetables were excellent. I ll be back.
Classy place, good food at good price, nice service
I was pleasantly suprised with K/H. The food was high quality but not at insane prices, which is hard to find now days. The cocktails were great and reasonably priced ($13). Some pretty unique takes on food were appreciated, like their potatoe salad.
Wasnt too busy when my wife and I stopped by for dinner. It allowed staff to focus more on customer service and they were very attentive. Food was great, duck was very juicy and flavourful. We cant wait to come back.
Very nice atmosphere in heritage style space on Stephen Avenue. Lunch menu is very approachable. Market fish (Coho salmon) was available and cooked to perfection, with crispy skin and served with a lovely range of vegetables on a bed of creamy smashed potatoes. The seven ounce wine pour option was a welcome alternative to a bottle for two at lunch.
Food is the bomb dot com and the service is missus fantastic. Lamia is a good one. I like her.
Amazing restauraunt, I couldnt fault a thing! It was refreshing to go to a restraunt which focused on the quality of the produce on your plate as opposed to just piling it high! Will defintely be coming back.
Great food and to the small details
Absolutely epic meal. We dropped in with a medium sized group and we re completely wowed by the food and the service of this wonderful place. Great bites and a really strong craft cocktail menu.
This was one of my top places to go, and Im glad we (dad and i) did on Saturday!! Hostess was from Ukraine and prepared the Amuse Bouche of Red Beet + Quinoa on toasted sourdough bread - tasted just like Jam! Scallops were cooked perfectly and just loved the preparation of the warm potatoe salad with chilled greens + poached egg. Dad had the chicken breast and I had the night feature of parmesan veal the martinis were refreshing and The Oatty drink with Eau Claire Gin tied it all together! Excellent teamwork from the chefs and a special thanks to our server, Shahana, for being so great! Thank you again for the excellent experience! I WILL be coming back!
Overall clear 4.5! Great atmosphere and sound track! Please share that playlist! Service was most excellent and food was great but with a couple notable miss steps. The flavors really were spot on for all the dishes and the presentation was superb. Roast carrots were rather undercooked and the standard menu burger was a bit to crispy/blackened on the outside which created a strange flavor contrast. If it wasn t for those execution challenges the meal would have been near perfect. For example. The market fish was a skin on salmon that was beyond perfect. Crispy on the outside and flawless on the inside.
The food is delicious, the drinks menu is inspired
We have been meaning to go for a long time and now wish we had gone sooner! It was a chaotically busy evening on Stephen Avenue, but walking into the restaurant, we were instantly put at ease by the quiet and calming atmosphere. The service was fantastic right from the very beginning, with Christina proving to be very knowledgeable about the menu, the wine list, and helping us with my wifes dietary restrictions (Celiac and corn). We started with the scallops, the grilled squid, and the smoked duck breast. All of which were excellent. However, it was a tie between the squid and the duck for our favorite. The mains we ordered were, crispy sirloin pork, crispy skin coho salmon and the black Angus strip loin. Once again, everything was delicious and looked beautiful. Christinas wine suggestions were very good as well. We will be back as this is now one of our favorites! Dietary restrictions: Great with Celiac options with no cross contamination.
Dropped in for happy hour after coming from Vancouver. Enjoyed our meal. Ordered too much as usual.
Easily my favourite restaurant in Calgary . Consistently amazing food and service . Definitely a must-go
Good quick lunch place. Nice patio as well.
We called and emailed earlier in the day, Christina got back to us well before their posted opening time, and was very accomodating. We ended up adding a couple of people and it was such a nice evening, rather than sitting inside at the beautiful table that they had prepared, we asked if we could sit on the patio. With little hesitation and waving off our offer to help move tables, they set a place for 10 and sat us. We were a little rowdy and mixing and sharing salads etc, and they took it in stride. They ran out of the wine that we had been drinking and made an excellent suggestion so that we could continue enjoying the evening. I should have take photos of the food. We had just about everything on the menu between us and everyone enjoyed themselves. Christina came out to introduce herself and thank us for coming and we will definitely be back! Thank you.
Love this place and can t wait to get back to Calgary to visit again!
Moved to Calgary in September and this was my first time heading out to a nice dinner. Greeted by Emily and Christina it was great service right off the hop. Both very nice and friendly faces. Constantly checking in on us to ensure everything was ok. All the food was amazing. When we received our Candied Pork Belly app, head chef Jamie brought it out and had a quick chat. Also another splendid individual. Will 100% revisit this place. Pricing was very reasonable.
So good and great staff! Loved it!
This restaurant was the best find in Calgary. The atmosphere sooo matched the food which was outstanding. Open Kitchen was a pleasure to be some what involved in (huge mirror allowed you to see the preparation area) Everything was prepared fresh, even down to the chopping & dicing of ingredients. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT
Everything was very good but not as memorable as I hoped. Another good quality restaurant that may have been very strong many years ago but the competition has caught up in creativity.
Food was fantastic don t get me wrong, but it took over an hour to be served, and they were missing a few items. I understand it was the stampede but it was off-peak hours and there weren t too many customers at all. Not sure how they run this business. Not the most pleasant experience?
Been here 3 times (twice this week) Each time food has been fantastic and the staff super friendly. 100% going to be part of our regular rotation! Yum! Food : 5/5 |
Extraordinary meal and service! Worthy of the great restaurants we visited! Perfect experience all round! Plus, the place is spotless! A must-see in Calgary on a future visit!
Lovely atmosphere with amazing service! Smoked duck taste was incredible and new to me.
Dietary restrictions: Good gluten-free options
I recently visited Klein / Harris and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional quality of the food, impeccable presentation of the dishes, good drinks, and outstanding service. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience.
Amazing food , cozy environment
From the moment I walked in, the service was impeccable. Attentive yet unobtrusive, the staff struck the perfect balance. Professional yet friendly, they ensured everything was flawless without being overly intrusive. Seated at the chefs bar, I was treated to a captivating display of culinary craftsmanship. Witnessing the chefs at work truly heightened my appreciation for the artistry behind each dish. Now, onto the highlight the lamb. It was a culinary masterpiece, flawlessly cooked to a melt-in-the-mouth perfection. The cocktail selection was equally impressive, delivering a burst of flavors that tantalized the taste buds. The appetizer was a delightful prelude, setting the tone for a sumptuous meal that awaited. The dessert, however, didnt quite reach the same heights. While still enjoyable, it fell slightly short in comparison to the rest of the offerings. The meringues texture, though good, wasnt as crisp as I would anticipated. Nevertheless, it didnt overshadow the overall memorable evening.
This was my second time at Klein / Harris. The first time was quite enjoyable, which was why I decided to come back a second time. However, this time our experience was very underwhelming and the overall service was definitely subpar. When we arrived, we got seated to a table but no server was assigned to us. It took over 10 minutes before a waitress came over and that was only because I waved her down. We finished our meals pretty quick and were planning on ordering dessert. Our dirty plates were on our tables and no one came to our table for over 15 minutes. It seemed like none of the servers were attentive. Some were just standing there and waiting for the kitchen to finish the food so they could serve it but could have been helping out other customers. Some walked past our table without even realizing. Again, they only came when we decided to wave them down. When we wanted to order the dessert, the waitress asked if we needed to be out by a certain time because the dessert would take a while to make. Already disappointed we decided to leave and get the bill instead. In the end, we decided to get dessert at a different restaurant. We are very disappointed with the overall service of this restaurant given its reputation and how long this restaurant has been running for. I dont believe I will be coming back to this restaurant and will not recommend anyone I know to come here.
From the food to the service, everything is amazing! My favorite is the butter leaf wrap.
This is a place to take your time and enjoy a truly wonderful meal in a lovely space. Every dish from the $10 happy hour plates to those in the mid 30s is crafted with the utmost care and love for the food (sounds cheesy, but seriously, everything was perfect). Drinking or DD, the bar will make you something to brighten your whole day. They give fantastic recommendations as well. Theres so much creativity here and not a drop of ego; its perfect for an adventure to unfamiliar culinary horizons. (Try EVERYTHING) James and Christina (chef and co-owners) have created something fantastic here, dont miss out!
Great food, friendly staff, would highly recommend their chicken
Was walking by looking for a place to eat on my own and had a look at the menu. Loved it. The hostess seated me at the bar overlooking the kitchen, fantastic fun rather than just looking at my phone. The flavors and preparations were spot on. The price was amazing. Oh yeah, great cocktail menu. I had butter lettuce wraps and the garden soup. And the smoked spruce Collins was super. Christina (co owner and head chef) actually comes out and she was wonderful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Klein/Harris. We had the scallop appetizer, fresh oysters, the steak, chicken and two desserts. Everything was delicious and interesting. The service was exceptional. The servers were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making us feel very well taken care of. Thank you for a beautiful evening!
Food was very tasty and well prepared. Service was beyond unreasonably slow and inattentive. Over 20 minutes from being seated to someone taking our drink order. Then we had ordered our appies, they were cooked, delivered, we finished them, and we then had to flag down some to order our entrees. Also a number of mix ups. Very dissapointing.
Outstanding service. And loved the food and atmosphere
The restaurant has a great ambience, the atmosphere was good and it was nice that you could look into the kitchen. Unfortunately, the waiter changed several times, so no one really knew whether we had already ordered or not. Unfortunately, portions were a bit small and the dishes were a bit underseasoned. However, the quality of the products is very good.
Fantastic food and atmosphere, definitely recommend.
Always a wonderful experience: gracious staff, delicious food and wine, reasonably priced. Highly recommend Klein/Harris!
Outstanding experience start to finish.
My husband invited me to our Anniversary dinner (51 years old)... at the beginning we were greeted with a glass of Champagne (excellent detail), the service was fast and efficient the food was delicious . Thank you very much for allowing us such a nice celebration!!
Visited Klein/Harris while in town for a conference. The pork belly and duck breast appetizers were so good and the main market fish was a beautiful piece of salmon. They do REALLY good food here at a more-than-fair price. Check it out
We had a lovely time at K/H! We started off with some oysters, toast 3 ways, and the crusted Boursin cheese, all were delicious, especially the Boursin cheese. We had duck, lamb, and pork sirloin as our mains and the duck was by far our favourite! Would definitely recommend coming here to try something new :)
The food and drinks are deliiiish! The service was a bit slow during the lunch rush, but the amazing dishes and cocktails made up for everything else.
Wonderful service.
Wonderful food and service every time I visit. Truly one of my favourite reasons to go to Stephen s Ave!
Klein/Harris is one of my top picks in Calgary. During my most recent visit, they took the best card of myself and my dining partner regarding food allergies. Our server took the time to familiarize us with the menu and make sure we had lots of time to make it to our theatre event that night. Food was absolutely perfect. The mushroom ravioli is a must have. Wine suggestions paired really well. If you haven t been to K/H yet - you should book a table as soon as possible.
The food and service..rock!
Came here as a large group and I had an opportunity to try everyone s dish :) - DRINKS - You can t go wrong with any cocktail here. I had the Smoked Spruce Collins (a little on the sweeter side for those that like it. And has quite a lot going on taste wise, but I like it that way!) and the Aromatic Gin & Tonic (has bitters for those that like their drinks with a bitter kick but still with a bit of sweetness). Loved both and I can t wait to try even more. - FOOD - Crusted Borsin Cheese - 8/10 : it s cheese and jam with a bit of bread. It s tastes great but could try something else on the menu Mushroom Ravioli - 10/10 : can t recommend it enough Seared Beef Skillet - 9/10: this was pretty good. Beef was seared well and the rest of the dish complimented the taste too Candied Pork Belly - 9/10: can t go wrong with pork belly! I know it s candied but it was a little too sweet for my taste - DESSERT - Triple Chocolate Cake - 3/10: it is literally a small slice of cake that looks like it could ve come out of the Costco frozen cake section . Save your money with this one Frozen Cheesecake Mousse - 7/10: I don t know why dessert has to be frozen nowadays ? Still better than the cake
Delicious
They did a nice job looking after a workgroup of five of us on a busy Saturday night.
Great location, great ambiance, great service.
First and only place I ate in Calgary. It was amazing. Great ambiance, phenomenal food and amazing service. Would strongly recommend.
Every aspect of the place is phenomenal. We ordered the steak and the burger this time, and both were perfect. My first recommendation to anyone looking for memorable dining experience in Calgary
Just had amazing food here. Meat and veggies are sourced locally and top quality. Every food item was just perfect. Clover club drink was refreshingly new and tasted good. Prices are decent. Our server was friendly and provided top level customer service. Really enjoyed the evening here. Recommended

Great place for date night. Canadian cuisine on a different level. Service was a top-notch! I love it when food looks pretty and trust me it did at the Klein. I usually pick out of the menu myself, but I let our server give us some suggestions, and it did not disappoint us! From complimentary samples to appetizers, meals, and cocktails! We enjoyed the atmosphere and experience so our phones were put away and no pictures were taken Cocktails deserve separate comments. No ice, just pure ingredients. Very flavourful and unique mixes.
One of the best restaurant experiences Ive had in a really long time! The food and drinks were all exceptional, the restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and Christina was so helpful and personable! Will DEFINITELY be back soon!
Went for a birthday dinner and the whole experience was amazing! The drinks were great, the food was delicious, and the serving staff was lovely. Can t wait to go back :) Must try s: lamb, pork belly, duck, and the feature
Food and service is fantastic! If you are in Calgary you need to try Klein/Harris!
Lamb, duck and the toast were the highlights
Ive only been here the one time so far, but the folks here are friendly and the meal I had was satisfying. I appreciated my experience.
Great service, great food! I really like how the place is set up that you can see the open kitchen area.
Never disappoints! Exceptional cuisine, wine list and cocktails.
The ambience is amazing and the food is amazing. The only problem was that the food took a lot of time to reach our table.
Food was good. Atmosphere was great. I can see either sharing a bunch of appetizer plates or ordering your own main course plate as viable options here.
Theres something about this place thats just a bit off. The drinks were good, and the prices were reasonable but things felt a bit hit and miss. The smoked duck was by far the best dish we tried, but the quinoa salad looked sad, and the lamb shoulder while a hearty dish felt a bit flat and uninspired. The sea scallop which looked so good from other reviews got swapped with bay scallops and no one said anything (hmmm). Its a nice change from the row of chains nearby, but feels like they need a fresh new menu and some new energy.
Happy Hour at Klein & Harris. We ordered one of everything on the menu. We loved the burgers. They were the perfect size for. a snack. We carried out tummies out with us
Absolutely phenomenal service! Very kind waiting staff, plenty of selection available for anyone regarding drinks, dietary restrictions and types of eats. Food was delicious, had the Friday special, Roast & Toast and I was very pleased. Good size portions and you get exactly what you pay for. Vegetarian options: Plenty of options, both appetizers and full size dishes. Dietary restrictions: Vegan and vegetarian options were available. Even asked before leaving with our order if there were any additional concerns or dietary restrictions that any of us had!
One of the best restaurants in Calgary. The staff is extremely welcoming and the food is elite.
Great service! Good vegetarian food! Chef indeed came to my table to check if he can replace the sauce that had egg with a plant based one! Would love to see more veggies with protein choices!
Excellent food and service.
We had a birthday lunch for work today and my boss took us to Klein Harris. It was superb! The waiter was very helpful when deciding on our menu items. I didnt take any photos for some reason! For the table, he selected a beef dish, lettuce wraps, potato salad, and beet salad. Delectable! Everyone enjoyed their mains. Market fish was salmon and two of us had that, one had the apple pecan salad, one had the duck, and one had a sandwich. . I am so very sure that the mushroom ravioli is delicious for someone who enjoys a meaty flavour. However, I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian and this was too beefy for my liking. I could not finish it. If you are a vegetarian, the salads are to die for! Just maybe stay away from the mushroom ravioli if you dont enjoy the texture of paté or the taste of beef.
Everything was perfect. Each dish was cooked to perfection and our server was awesome. My only regret is that I dont live in Calgary and cannot enjoy this establishment on a regular basis.
Had the hand rolled pasta when I visited this restaurant and I am still Thinking about it .delicious. Great ambiance and service.
Possibly the worst kitchen in Canada. Salads from blenders, pasta uncooked. Just bad.
The cocktails and food were of a good standard for the asking price. We were, however, somewhat rushed by the service: the main course arrived before we had finished the starters. Too bad because the staff is friendly.
Excellent experience.
Overall rank: 5 of 5 Restaurant setup: 4.5 of 5 Staff and service: 5 of 5 Food: 4.5 of 5 Price: 4.5 of 5 Restaurant is modern and quite comfortable to enjoy with your company, food and conversation. Would be nice to arrange some tables for better privacy with conversations! Staff is absolutely amazing! Very polite, friendly and helpful! Food is good overall - ingredients are fresh and tasty. Had the salmon and burger both are good. The side dish with the salmon can be improved a bit with more citrus touch! Price is reasonable for the setting and location so is a recommend!
Delicious food and very friendly staff!
The burger is so worth eating every time you visit this place. Sit at the bar and start your cooking apprenticeship from very friendly professional cooks. Truffle dessert is like no other!! Its so worth it. Bring your friends and impress them with you great dining choices.
The food was perfect. The service was excellent!
This place was good. The server was good, robotic and not well versed, but we were, so all good. We ordered the oysters...but they were out at 7pm on a Saturday. VERY disappointing as one could expect, I mean come on, oysters? yumm! we were very excited for them. No biggie, got the pork belly toast (would come back for that 100%), next we wanted the scallops as advertised, but we got a bunch of baby scallops. Not at all what we wanted or thought we were ordering from past experience combined with the photos of the dish online. We would have said no had the server mentioned the dish was changed (like the oysters) but we we not told, so again, disappointed. I mean Im sure on another night it could have been good, but very meh our night, probably wont be back but who knows. I think when you book a restaurant you google it and research the menu. If you are out of a few key things, and not even being told from the server before brought to the table with replacements, is reason enough for me not to wing it there again.
Good food and great services here!
I have been multiple times and enjoyed in the past. However, I was really disappointed the last two visits. My main criticism is a lack of attention to detail resulting in improperly cooked food. I would like to thank the wait staff for their quick response.
Perfect spot for a business lunch! Tucked away yet central, food was great, service was friendly. Will be a regular here for sure.
Love the place, I have eaten here before and have had a wonderful experience in the past. Their appetizers are an absolute delight to explore. This time around, I got the daily special (a smoked burger)... presentation is 5/5. Soup and tarts, amazing. However, in spite of the Class 1 - A 1 presentation, upon taking a bite of the burger, it turned out pretty undercooked. As expected from the establishments superior customer service, the waiter addressed the matter expertly and immediately, providing various solutions to the problem... ultimately, the burger was waived from my bill. Honestly it pains me not to give this establishment a 5/5 overall review based on my previous experiences...will most certainly drop by again and update the rating accordingly. Vegetarian options: Wide array of choices Dietary restrictions: Staff will ask ahead of placing the order. Parking: Plenty of options for parking...considering it is downtown, heavily dependent on the time and day. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs and accommodating staff
Very good service! Ordered the toast three ways, which I didn t really enjoy. The mushrooms were a little too earthy, and the tomato based sauce was too acidic. The onion jam was a pleasant surprise though, it was a good balance of sweet and savoury. The bread was cut into strips, which made it a little awkward to use the different spreads. The pavlova dessert was very enjoyable though, it was very light, and visually appealing.
Very excellent, the pork shoulder was done to perfection, with excellent service and drink. Would really recommend!
Service 5/5 , food 5+/5 ,and ambiance is warm cozy inviting. The open kitchen and service staff flow like a well oiled machine. I will definitely be frequenting this hidden gem.
Amazing food, great atmosphere!
I have wanted to visit this place for some time now. Im sad that I waited so long, they have done an amazing job with the space. It looks so good! We didnt eat this time, we just had amazing espresso martinis. The staff is so welcoming and friendly, so delightful!
Amazing restaurant. Great food and ambiance for decent prices! Good background noise from the kitchen but no loud or intrusive music or overcrowding. Theres also a ceiling mirror so you can watch the chefs work! Delicious food and cocktails! Will definitely be back for more.
Went here for a Christmas party, the food and drinks were amazing but even more the service couldn t be beat. The bartender Sol remembered everyone s orders to a tee and when my table asked her if she had any lotion she actually went out of her way to share hers with us which I wasn t expecting. I seriously cannot wait until the next opportunity comes to go here. Wonderful job to the staff.
One punch lunch is one of the best deals downtown. Always great food!
