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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

This restaurant was the best find in Calgary. The atmosphere sooo matched the food which was outstanding.

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?

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.

December 21, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
