We enjoyed the lively atmosphere and thought the food was amazing. We also appreciated the fact that the chef was interactive with the guests. If you're a fan of caviar I'd suggest trying one of their sets that pair with your choice of champagne or Louis XIII cognac. We will definitely be back again!

Came here for a friends birthday. The food was definitely tasty and worth trying, but I felt it was a bit pricey for what it was. Still, I’d recommend it for those looking to explore new flavors. Our server was awesome & I enjoyed my cocktail. Overall, a solid 4.2!

We consider ourselves "foodies" and are usually reluctant to give 5 star reviews but Pat and Betty is a can't miss in Calgary. Menu selections are served family style and meant for sharing. We covered a wide base with snacks to mains, and all the way to the lemon curd dessert. Everything was amazing. Combined with low key but extremely knowledgeable staff, and a comfy but modern space - this is a real winner.

Amazing as always! Tried most of the menu but the highlights were the chicken liver mousse, beet salad, beef tartare and mushroom pasta! Great atmosphere and welcoming service.

Just had our anniversary here, the food was amazing, love everything single one we ordered, especially the wild mushroom pappardelle, the truffle oil makes it perfect! The service was excellent, our host was very friendly and made sure our dishes are good. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, very cozy and perfect for special occasion. Will definitely come back!

My partner and I came in for our anniversary dinner and had an exquisite time. We waited a few minutes past our reservation time but were immediately greeted with some champagne. Great touch. Our server Olivia was very personable and ensured we had a great time. We ordered a few appetizers and shared a plate of their Mushroom Pappardelle. All were delicious. We unfortunately couldn’t make enough room for dessert but we will certainly come back to try them. Definitely on our top dinner date spots now!

First time visit was for a drop in happy hour , and now am excited to come back! The food was exceptionally delicious! Good food makes good food! Three dishes were excellent in visual display and flavour enjoyment. Our server Justin was patient knowledgeable and prompt. He made us our first cocktails “the last word” and “Long Island iced tea” started our adventure before enjoying red wine from the extensive menu. The display of the family style eats honestly was stunning visually and abundant in flavour. Complimentary in flavour and texture. See you next time Pat and Betty.

4 1/2. Wish google would allow half stars! Food was pretty good although maybe we came at a bad time of year because there wasn’t much on the menu that stood out to us to want to order. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was definitely really well made but just not that exciting, it’s just a classic pasta dish with some burrata. Definitely a more seafood and fish inspired menu. The oysters were on ice but still weren’t really that cold which made them a little less appealing. Overall had a good time and glad we went. We might return if there’s a new seasonal menu that appeals more to our tastes.

Great food and service. The tuna was spectacular! But it is way too loud! I would like to go back but I just can t. Calgary restaurants in general are incredibly loud. P&B s takes it to the next level. :( The ambience is otherwise great. They did a great job designing this restaurant. I wish they would get acoustic panels to dampen the noise.

One of the most delicious meals Ive ever eaten- did have a reservation but still had to stand and wait for a bit longer than we would have prefered and service was very slow - but given time of year - id go back in a heartbeat

Came here for a double date with friends and we shared every dish so we got to try a decent amount of items. Each dish was delicious! We had the shoestring fries, yellowfin tuna, cauliflower, mezzi rigatoni, a limited time pasta dish which I cannot remember the name of, and the angus striploin. I d say the two biggest standout dishes to me were the cauliflower and striploin. The pomegranate molasses with the sumac is a beautiful flavor combination for the cauliflower. The striploin was cooked to perfection and the diane sauce was a great accompaniment.

Been here twice. Great food. The only downfall we had this last time is that they ran out of the two main dishes I was looking forward to order. The alternatives were good, but the selection was already limited. Parking: It is downtown in one of the busiest street and community. Hard to find at night on the weekend as everyone is out partying or dinning.

What happened? I came here twice last year for the same marvellous dishes I fell in love with this place for. Last year, I would have given this place 10/5 if I could. Unfortunately, shrinkflation is real, and this time around, we were left feeling hungry and disappointed with our dinner choice. First, the portion sizes are not shareable anymore. Barely can feed one person, it s more of snack size. They changed their recipes and replaced the pichana with a basic steak that costs more (a real shame). When we ordered the cauliflower last year, we got a whole head, and it was so delicious. This time around, we paid more for 3 small pieces that had no flavour (less than a quarter of a head!). Chicken thigh scarpariello also shrunk in size. Mezzi rigatoni barely had burratta. It s so disappointing to see one of my favourite places lose its true magic despite its popularity. Lastly, I came here for my birthday with my parents. They knew through my reservation and the waitress asked and knew. No effort was made to acknowledge me, no dessert offering. It sucked. Unfortunately, I don t think we ll be coming back.

This is my third time dining at Pat & Betty. Unfortunately, the server started out surly & abrupt. This sets the tone for the evening. When a guest asks about soup & the server s response is we are not that kind of restaurant rather than offering another suggestion, everyone at the table was thrown off. The response was rude & curt. There were other small, snarky remarks that are not worth mentioning here. I was scolded (by said server) for waving her to the table, of course this could have been avoided had she introduced herself at the beginning of the evening. Perhaps she realized her disagreeable attitude because the tune changed through the remainder of the evening. It was too late. Luckily everything we ordered was delicious & all the other wait staff we interacted with were friendly & polite. I really enjoy the food here & want to remind wait staff that their interactions with guests can make or break the vibe and are a huge part of the dining experience.

The tartare was an odd presentation. I can appreciate a riff on the classic, but the pre-plating of the beef on the toast is off putting visually, and it created a very heavy, unbalanced (lacked acid), overly saucy dish.

What a fantastic place! My colleagues and I arrived in Calgary from Houston in mid afternoon and were ready for a late lunch / early dinner when we discovered this gem. The only photo I managed to snap was of the beets and they won over even my two colleagues who said they didn t like beets! The shoestring fries with the Parmesan aioli were next and those were so good that we ordered another. We each got something different for dinner but I can only personably vouch for the sablefish, which was melt in your mouth perfection dressed in the most amazing olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Shout out to our awesome server, Sarah, who described each dish eloquently and gave us some great places to check out next!!

Huge shout out to both Sarah and Lexi who made me feel at home in a place very far from my actual home. The cocktails were fantastic, and I loved the gem lettuce salad and the sablefish, I could not stop eating them. Thank you for such a nice place to hang out for dinner so many times in a row!!!

Food was amazing, service was great! The atmosphere is fun but it was quite loud in there with the music and people talking pretty loudly. Vegetarian options: All shareable plates and lots of veggie options to pick from so you can get quite a variety. I m not a big meat eater and was extremely satisfied.

Visited Pat and Betty for the first time this week. The restaurant was completely full on a Wednesday evening. First want to recognize our waiter Justin. With it being so busy it took a little longer to come greet us, however we appreciated that Justin knew this and was sincerely apolgetic for the delay. You dont always have wait staff that acknowledge things like that. After greetting us and taking our order, Justin was on point and delivered exceptional service. As for the food, my wife and I dine out a fair bit, and the Chefs did not disappoint. We had the beet salad, pork belly and scallops, and the mushroom parpadelle, with my wife and I unsure whether the beet salad or the pork belly and scallops were the highlight. We finished things off with the carrot cake, which was very good. Pat and Betty will definately be in our rotation moving forward.

Highly recommend this gem. There is a plethora of wonderful restaurants on this street, this one fits right in! The restaurant is tastefully decorated, cozy and chic. All the servers are friendly, efficient and welcoming. (Hopefully you get served by Justin, he was a treat. I had to email the restaurant to rave about his great service!) We did not have a reso and had to be on the wait list. Trust me, it was worth it! We had the beets, broccolini and scallops/pork belly. Each dish is beautifully plated, almost too pretty to eat! The flavours were absolutely mouthwatering. Everything was well balanced. You cannot miss this place!

There is something so neat about the decor of this place. Its cozy and, yet, airy at the same time! The food is fabulous, but a major draw for us is the unique atmosphere, along with great service. I particularly loved the chocolate torte they had on offer a while back, paired with a glass of red. Try it out at night to get in my opinion the best experience at this lovely restaurant!

★★★★★

I had a great night out with a friend yesterday! One of the servers, Sarah, described and suggested 5 dishes based on my dietary restrictions and we went with 4 of them, all so delicious! The person who actually served us had each dish come out so perfectly timed so that we always had a little more than one dish on the table but never too many, you know? Their service was attentive (quality checking and drinks) but not obtrusive for our catch up night out. We ended with a dessert, that carrot cake is divine. I would go back just for that.

Favourites include the tuna, have to say chicken liver mousse was a stand out and should be on everyone s must try list. Beets were lovely and the broccolini was spectacular. Chicken and sable fish were phenomenal, get some sour dough with the large plates you ll be happy you did. Cookies were insanely good. Music and staff were so great. I m going to become a regular, can t wait to try the rest of the menu!!! Thank you Pat & Betty for a wonderful experience.

I dont know what to say. The food was good and I was impressed with the kitchen staff. The mushroom pappardelle was good, the chicken liver on toast was good, the anchovies toast was good but not what I expected. That said it was still a good dish. They didnt have oysters, which I was actually looking forward to. I found the restaurant to be a little loud. And I felt rushed with the service. Sorry guys, I can only give you four stars.

My son requested Pat and Bettys for his birthday as he had been before and wanted my opinion. The menu was well laid out and simple to follow and we decided to start with the Beef Tartare, White Anchovy toast and Golden Beets. Wow! Excellent and balanced flavors each with their own surprise - The tartare with the crispy onions, the Anchovy toast and chili oil and the beets with the right amount of citrus! We moved on to the piece de resistance - Mezzi Rigatoni. According to my son, the only dish that has consistently stayed on the menu. It was incredible! The sauce was heavenly and all the flavors were complimented by just a touch of heat. We finished with the carrot cake (excellent) and the Moms Milk and Cookies! Very well done and a new favorite of mine!

Though, the dishes are on the smaller end, so unless youre willing to spend $$$ it might not be the spot, but can be a wonderful splurge date spot for special occasions. He wanted me to take a picture of his finger as a size reference for the carrot cake. It was a generous portion.

Only been here for lunch and first time coming for dinner. Staff was friendly and tentative. All the dishes are meant to be shared family style so we shared per couple for our table of 4. All the dishes we ordered tasted amazing but the chicken liver mousse portion was on the small side and on only one piece of toast and it was almost $17! The roasted cauliflower was done perfectly and the angus sirloin was great with the brandy peppercorn sauce. Prices are on higher side but at least the food tasted great.

Dinner was going good until we were in the middle of dessert and the server put the bill on our table. Then about 2 minutes later, came back and punched in our tab on the debit machine. We were NOT finished our dessert, and we were in the middle of a conversation and I still had my cocktail to finish. Extremely unprofessional and no worse way to say, time for you all to leave Their website says each table has 2 hour window. Our reservation was for 3:45 in the afternoon, and we got the bill at 5:10 pm....NOT cool. The atmosphere is really nice, but poor service ruins it every time.

Two small pieces of feedback - We found the Foie Gras too thin for both the price and cooking time and the sauce on the Pork main was far too sweet and overpowered the two proteins. Served on the side or adding a salty profile would have rounded it out a little better. Service was good, it had a nice atmosphere and washrooms were clean. I would recommend

Cozy little restaurant my partner and I stumbled upon while taking an evening stroll. They had quite a few tables available on a Thursday evening. It was nice to be seated right away without a reservation. The service was impeccable! We had a main waitress and three others who delivered the food and drinks and checked on us often. The plates were exchanged with a clean dish with every small and large plate we ordered. I can honestly say no restaurant ever does this for every different dish that is served. The waitress described that they did this to not ruin/mix the flavour profile of their dishes. The dishes were simple and delicious! We ll be back!

First time here for a birthday dinner. Everything from start to finish was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our server Angela was attentive and kind and gave her suggestions everytime we asked. From drinks, to all the different foods and to dessert- it was all top notch. Our favorites were the oysters, the rigatoni pasta , potato pavrè and the pork belly and scallops were to die for. Angela was even kind enough to suggest we add 2 more pieces of the pork belly and scallops as it only came with 3 but we were a table of 5 but it came with an extra piece of pork belly. For dessert we ordered the carrot cake and it was the perfect way to end our evening. It was absolutely amazing all around.

Absolutely loved it here! It s a small and intimate place and every dish was delicious. The Shrimp Scampi is my favourite - the accompanying sauce is SO GOOD and definitely worth licking the plate. For the more civil, you can take some bread to mop up every last drop. Their Seared Foie Gras is rich and smooth. We loved the Scallops Special with bay scallops - small bites that were full of flavour. The Wild Mushrooms were bountiful and savoury, almost erring on too salty but still delicious. Their oysters are $15 for half a dozen during Happy Hour from 3-5 PM. Definitely a hidden gem! : must ve had too much champagne as I don t recall their restrooms. Don t worry, I ll return to check out the washrooms and report back. All in the name of research.

The food here was very good, although I felt like they couldve been a bit more generous with the portions. For example, the pork and scallops dish was good, but i wouldve appreciated more than just 3 small dallops of the puree. Considering its a cheap accompaniment, the serving was unnecessarily small. The flavours of the pork dish were amazing, but some pieces of pork were overcooked and very dry. The oysters Rockefeller were delicious. I would pass on the oysters with caviar and just get a double of oysters Rockefeller. The mushroom dish was another amazing dish, but it only came with three small pieces of sour dough bread. I was left wanting more bread to soak up the amazing sauce. Left me wanting more. Again, a cheap side that was skimped on.

Easily among the best restaurants in the city. It s been a long time since I ve been to a dinner where every bite of every plate resulted in a wow . The flavours were bold. The dishes were well constructed. I can t fault a single item. We had the beets, beef tartare (tasted like fine dining camping - you ll understand when you order it), oyster with caviar, pork belly with scallops and rigatoni. The rigatoni had such a satisfying bite to the handmade noodles. A bit of heat. And the best vodka sauce either of us have ever had. Typing this makes me sad I can t eat it again today. These items were the perfect amount of food for 2ppl. Go here and try anything. It s all hits

December 21, 2023

Had dinner here last night and Im less than impressed. Im going to suggest the food was ok - the best dish was the lemon pudding dessert. Portions are small for what you get so value for dollar is not strong and the atmosphere is loud so no real trade off. We had two people in our party with celiac, we called ahead and were assured not a problem but on arrival, the server didnt seem to want to assist in providing options. As an example, she indicated the beef tartar could not be GF because its served on bread but wouldnt ask the kitchen to have the bread on the side. So we pivoted and made the best of it, but the real disappointment was our server, Taylor who often went MIA. At one point she was huddled up with what appeared to be the hostess in the front entrance for 20 minutes, then shed disappear for other big chunks of time, so much so that we needed to flag down other staff to order more food or have drinks refilled. One main dish took 45 minutes which she promised she hadnt forgotten to order <uh huh>. When we finally received it we asked to order our dessert right away so that we wouldnt have to wait for it since we were approaching the 3 hour mark and needed to wind down our evening .... and she didnt. As she cleared our dinner dishes she announced shed put in our dessert order right away. Grrrr. Needless to say we left feeling disappointed with our experience.

Shared 5 dishes between two of us, this was too many, would have gotten away with sharing 3. Potato rosti 7/10, good flavour with the reduced French onion side, we ate this towards the end of the meal when we were really full so that may be contributing to the rating Chicken 9/10, cooked super well with the crispy outside, gravy was perfectly flavoured, but I could have gone without the saffron squash salad on the side, just not as complementary to the dish imo Rigatoni 9/10, amazing sauce, not bland at all, super flavourful and the cheese helped balance everything out, just prefer a slightly softer cooked pasta than it was Beet salad 6/10, loved the yogurt sauce, wish there was more of this, also I wish the beets were warm and cut up a bit smaller Overall would definitely go back!

Impressive and eclectic menu featuring items not seen much in other restaurants. Your pallet will appreciate the variety of tastes harmonized uniquely in each of the dishes we ordered. Appetizers we enjoyed were: A1: Roasted Eggplant dip, served with potato chips - wonderful flavour of creamed eggplant. Great texture. The capers were not a hit with our group A2: Oyster caviar, Malpeque oyster topped with caviar. Smooth and very tasty. Can get expensive to like it too much A3: Country beef tartare, Aioli, devilled egg served on top of fresh sourdough bread with plenty of small sized pieces of tartare A4: Grilled cucumbers, refreshing dish served with minted yoghurt reminiscent of tzatziki on vegetables, topped with pistachios. Great to share dish Main dishes Rigatoni, tables favourite main course meal. Something for every taste bud in this dish Atlantic Cod, very creamy and tasty. Less of a fish taste, small but filling Angus Sirloin, small tender sirloin pieces prepared to perfection with hazelnuts adding a great side bar taste Desserts Lemon pudding, with meringue small mint taste and drizzled pistachios to add a unique flavour Carrot Cake, little hard on the outside but tasty and delicious with the caramel sauce and cream cheese frosting on top

Came here for brunch the day before Father s Day with my family, we were served by Jessalin. The brunch food was alright, but the service was disappointing. Our server seemed very unenthusiastic and overall unhappy to be there. We weren t offered a second round of drinks or any kind of refill, despite having empty glasses in front of us for nearly the entire meal. When we asked for our bill, the sever smacked the bill down on the table and didn t say a word. The service just wasn t reflective of the price of the food we were already paying for. After paying, I spotted the server looking at the receipt and shaking her head with another one of the employees, indicating she was unhappy with the tip we had left her, (which was generous considering that we were not happy with the service). As a server myself, I was disappointed by this behaviour, as it came off as entitled and ungrateful. If the service was better, the tip would ve been better. The redeeming factor of our brunch was the gentleman who ran our food to our table, he was very kind and polite.

We got 4 main plates and one dessert at the end. Oysters were kind of small. The bread and pasta dishes were interesting but again, nothing crazy. We also ordered Bloody Mary s (because they didn t have Caesar s). Was it worth the whopping $140 no . but atleast everything was tasty and came out at an orderly pace.

I want to start off by saying the whole interior and vibe was beautiful and unique. We started with the beets and it was perfectly cooked and well balanced. It was very refreshing to start with. We had the rigatoni as our main and I want to say that s probably the best pasta dish I ve had in YYC. It was balanced so perfectly with the right amount of salt, spice and sweetness. The burrata balanced the richness of the sauce and the pasta itself was perfectly cooked. We finished with the carrot cake and it tasted delicious. It had the right balance of nuttiness and savoury in every bite with a touch of sweetness from the cream cheese frosting. The salted caramel at the bottom of the plate tied the entire bite together. I would highly recommend the dishes and the service here!

He was quick with table service, clearing our dishes, setting up for the next course, wine recommendations was our glasses were never empty throughout the entire dinner, he matched our energy and then some. He still managed to take care of our large table and had a few other tables and he managed everything amazingly. Lotus, the events manager was so helpful and patient with our group, thank you thank you!!

I was excited to try this place out, hearing good things about it from a few friends. My partner and I decided to go out for a nice dinner last minute and since it was around 7pm on a Friday, we were totally prepared to be told they were booked for the rest of the night. But the host took our name and added us to the waitlist and told it might would be 45min-1 hour wait. We were called for our waitlist time, and came back an hour later, and the host seated us at our table. But when we were sat our table (along the wall to the left when you walk in), it seemed like we were between two servers sections. We had one server serving the table to my left and another serving the table to my right. I dont know if this was an issue with the host seating us between sections, but neither server paid any attention to us between serving their other tables, it seemed like they were both avoiding any contact with us whatsover, so we were ignored for 15 minutes. Essentially, both servers seemed to be like not my problem in regards to our table. After another 10 minutes of just sitting, waiting, with no service, we just decided to leave. We didnt flag any staff down or try to follow up with the host because at that point we felt like an inconvenience or another servers problem as clearly nobody wanted to help us. You would think maybe somebody would notice we were sitting there for 25 minutes without service (I dont even know why we stayed that long hoping we would get helped) and ask if had been served yet, but I think that nobody cared. We told co-workers about our experience and they were shocked to hear it, which makes me believe maybe it was just an off night, but a night that has probably turned us off from ever coming here again regardless. Cant even say if the food is good here bc we didnt even get the chance to try it lol. We went to Ten Foot Henry next door and were sat at the bar almost immediately, and the service and food there was wonderful, so at least we still got a good date out of that night, which at one point seemed impossible.

We went here for a dinner for a girls night and we had a lovely time until this man (who we found out after was an owner) told us we needed to leave since someone was waiting for us for 20 minutes for our table. We ordered a bottle of wine 30 minutes before we were asked to leave and ended up needed to chug our wine. Although the food was fantastic, the overall experience was tainted due to us needing to rush after spending $500 with a 20% tip on top. It felt extremely unprofessional and when we spoke to someone they said there is nothing we can do since he is the owner. Come here for a good meal but I promise you will leave with a bad taste in your mouth.

Bar menu was poorly constructed, but I cannot comment on the wine menu. We ordered shoe string fries, beef tartare and the rigatoni. All three dishes were aces and left me smiling. House hot sauce hot sauce was legit.

I was disappointed at my cocktails (blueberry bourbon, opted for wine for the next drink). The foods were good, not amazing. We had pasta, grilled octopus, beets salad, foie gras & pork belly scallops. Pasta and octopus were great. Chocolate torte was too rich. Service was awesome.

I am truly blown away by the flavors I experienced tonight. My group and I shared 8 different dishes, and everything was delicious! The wine selection is also very intriguing and definitely something to explore. I am really satisfied with the restaurant selection for tonight

10/10 experience. Book this place right now!!! The food is out of this world - we ordered 8 different items and everything was phenomenal. The Smoked Sturgeon Mousse, Mezzi Rigatoni, Fogo Island Turbot and Pork Belly & Scallops are a must. If that wasnt enough, the space is beautiful and cozy. Our server, Justin, was attentive, super helpful with dinner & wine reccommendations, and was very engaging + friendly. Enjoyed every minute.

Would highly recommend this place! Enjoyed sharing the plates with my group and tried a bunch of dishes at the very friendly server Justins excellent recommendations. Each dish impressed more than the last. Extremely creative and delicious food on offer. The highlight was the Pork Belly and Scallops 10/10 must try. Atmosphere, decor and service were top notch as well. Felt extremely taken care of by Chef Mike Pigot and the whole team at Pat and Betty. Intend to return. Cheers!

Came in for dinner and had another exceptional experience. The food was delicious, but it s the service that really elevates it all. Also, manager overheard that I had a rough day and kindly sent over a glass of bubbly. Lovely touch, not needed but definitely appreciated. That attention to detail carries over to their food and makes the overall experience delightful.

The manager yelled and argued with us after giving away our table in front of us. We had a reservation on Nov 10 at 8:45pm, and got to the restaurant at 8:55pm (we acknowledge that we were not on time but the reservation policy is 15min). When we got there there was no one in the front, except for the other 2 people in front of us. After 5 mins, the manager showed up and gave our table to the people in front of us before even asking us if we had a reservation. By the time he talked to us it was 9:00pm and he then argued that we got there 9:01pm and that the reservation policy was 5min, which is not true. He was disrespectful and instead of apologizing he raised his voice tonus and kept calling us liars. We waited 40min standing in the entrance and didn t get a table until 9:35pm. A guy called Justin took his place after and saved the night. It s a shame as this used to be one of our favorite places to go to but the disrespect was unbelievable. We also saw a group of 6 that showed up on time for their reservation and they made them wait 15min until they decided to leave. This only makes us think that this place does not respect reservations and their policies.

Terrible service by far worst i ve experienced in Calgary. Had to wait 20+ min between courses for a check up on server, and 30 min for the bill. Server was not attentive to anything; including empty drinks. Upon ordering prior to main, server did not deliver wine until our last bite. Food was mediocre at best. Steak tartare for appy, burnt toast; no flavor. Scallops and pork belly for main. Sauce worked great with the scallops but not with pork belly. 6/10. Carrot cake for dessert; cake was dry, couldve bought better cake at Safeway. Not harsh typically when it comes to reviews, but this spot REALLY missed the mark.

Boyfriend and I weren t a fan. Started with the shoestring fries. For $9 we could have gotten cheaper shoestring salty fries from McDonald s for less. Followed with the cauliflower. We tasted the curry but aside from that, it was quite bland and greasy. Followed with the pasta rigatoni. The sauce was very quite salty and just didn t have an flavour either of us enjoyed. Followed with the chicken thighs. Again, we weren t fans. It seemed to lack flavour. Every item was suggested by the server which we usually ask for when trying a new restaurant, looking for the most popular dishes. It was quite a loud atmosphere which was difficult to have a conversation. We eat out and try different places quite often. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed.
