I visited this restaurant with a group for a birthday celebration, and we decided to share a variety of dishes – definitely the best way to experience everything! We loved every bite. Our server Sarah was attentive- we enjoyed her service. One of the highlights was the birthday cake, made in-house by the incredibly talented baker Larissa Costella. Everything we had was absolutely delicious, with flavors that were nothing short of divine. While it was on the pricier side, the exceptional food and overall experience made it well worth it.

This really is one of the best restaurants in Canada. Non pretentious vibe, great music and a menu that changes everyday. What?! 🤯 The food is so good. Go Tip: Ask your server to see Charlie after dinner.

I think 3.5 stars is more accurate for the food. The interior is much nicer than what you see from the outside. I think the menu has a fusion of Asian inspirations with majority being Japanese. The tenderloin was cooked pretty well and the potato mashes were tasty. The mushroom au jus was a bit over powering though. The scallop tart and ravioli were really creamy if you're into that. The highlight of the night was the dessert. It was surprisingly delicious, not too sweet and well balanced. It's not cheap so be ready.

Finally made a first visit to this instagram worth establishment. Am looking forward to a return visit. The interior design was a great mix of masculine decor with feminine traits. The food has exceptional plating style for visually stunning food. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. Good food makes good food! Even the cocktails are visually pleasing. See you next time !

Cool restaurant with good vibes, but food is just alright. It has pretty unique flavours but it was not hitting right places. the brussels sprouts were unique tasting but was too sweet, the tartare had a sauce that overpowered the taste of beef way too much and it tasted almost like a poke bowl and the potatoes were soggy, and the other dishes were quite average. Drinks and the service were great though, we even checked out their speak easy. I would recommend that for sure.

Truly a remarkable experience! The space itself is beautiful, sleek, boujee, but not pretentious. Environment is super welcoming. I went for my birthday dinner and had Lexi as a server and she was delightful, very knowledgeable in the menu and crafted a beautiful experience for us. She recommended the scallops and they did NOT disappoint, hands down the most delicious scallops I have ever had. Cooked to perfection, paired beautifully with gnocchi and other delicious and fresh ingredients. Cocktails were unreal, and the key like dessert was delicious and a beautiful / artistic creation. Totally recommend and will definitely be coming back for more cocktails / food.

Salt & Brick is a must-visit steakhouse for foodies. From the moment you step inside, the warm and stylish decor sets the mood for an amazing dining experience. The menu has a great selection of perfectly cooked steaks, each seasoned and prepared to perfection. The service is top-notch attentive but not overbearing making you feel like you re being taken care of. If you re looking for a place that has great food, impeccable service, and a cozy atmosphere, Salt & Brick has it all. Highly recommended for steak lovers or anyone celebrating a special occasion!

10 out of 10 for this restaurant. Ryan was our server and he served the 7 of us girls that have been friends for decades looking for somewhere to celebrate Christmas together. The music and atmosphere was on point....and I didnt have get the chance to talk about the food. Seriously the Striploin was incredible, but I cannot stop thinking about the brussel sprouts. Such a wild take on that dish, but the flavours work. I will definitely be back here. Dietary restrictions: They were quite a bit to choose from with a gluten allergy, like myself.

Booked a reservation in the wrong area by mistake on a Monday afternoon for Wednesday afternoon. Venue is closed on Mondays. No one answers the phone, or returns any voicemails on Tuesday, and since the cancellation is 24hrs, you are pretty much screwed. So, the choice is either show up for the wrong reservation or get charged a fee. Thanks for charging my credit card and not returning my calls. Your venue is not a Michelin star restaurant, grow up and do better.

I ve been here a few times because I love the vibe, but unfortunately it will be my last time. We ordered the 50oz ribeye and it was completely overdone. We sent it back and was charged a discounted price. I left the restaurant with a bitter taste. Tbh - cocktails and apps were good but please go across the street for steak! (which we did the next day).

Salt and Brick felt like we were in an episode of Shokugeki no Soma and yes, the food was so good we almost expected our clothes to fly off! Each dish had surprising but perfectly balanced flavors, making every bite an adventure. The weekly menu changes add even more excitement, like unwrapping a new surprise every time. The presentation was stunning, and the vibe of the place made for an unforgettable night. Were already counting down the days until we can see (and taste) what s next!

This was our first time dining in at Salt N Brick. We had heard it was a newer establishment and so we wanted to check it out. We sat at the bar which we loved as we were able to watch the action and execution of all the plates going out. The chef checked in on us a few times and personally explained the source of our duck entree. He also personally shaved truffles onto our dish- so good! The lamb duo tasted incredible- great seasoning on the meat. Both of our appetizers were amazing, particularly the Hokkaido scallops. They were seared perfectly- I wish they gave us 4 and not 3!. We loved the vibe and ambience of the restaurant. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive we felt well taken care of. Highly recommend this place! We will definitely be back and hope for the same consistency in service and food!

As a family of 3 w a teenager and having previously been blown away in kelowna, we were so excited to visit the Calgary restaurant. The menu that day had little to no options that any of us were interested in. We had a scallop dish that was amazing but for 37$ and 3 scallops I don t care where you are, that s not worth it. Beautiful place but Calgary has much more to offer w more options and value at other restaurants.

Last night was an absolutely spectacular dining experience and I NEED to tell you about it. For starters, I mistakenly waited until a few days beforehand to make a reservation for my brothers wedding Manniversary on Open Table, so I was limited to wine bar seating. I messaged the restaurant to be added to a cancelation list for a standard table, and received an email from the management advising that only the best seats in the house [would] do for such an important celebration !. My heart nearly exploded, and they were not blowing smoke!! At the coziest booth right under the skylight moon chandelier, we were treated to complimentary bubbles, and our server, Brie, was an absolute delight. Not one of us had ever encountered such talent, brliiance, and experience in the service industry - and weve all WORKED in it! The cocktails were spectacular, the menu was bespoke for the day and hilariously - yet beautifully - described, the wine list obviously curated by an extraordinary sommelier (who I learned is ALSO the GM), and even the stemware is the highest calibre (its all Fable, which makes Riedel look like Tupperware ). Please dont miss the Hokkaido scallops, Brussel sprouts, tartare du jour, risotto, halibut cheeks, and the duck! Our only regret was not getting to try the porterhouse steak; however, we could hardly believe the presentation and quality of each item that touched our table. Everything was a work of art, and your meal includes a showcase of the preeminent culinary team at work on the open line. Please make Salt & Brick your first choice for any occasion where impressions matter. We cant wait to come back!

Unbelievable culinary experience. Not only was the food some of the best we have had in Calgary, but the service was impeccable. Our server, Adrian, was engaging, knowledgeable, and made our night so much fun. We couldnt decide what to eat so we gave Adrian an idea of what we liked, and he turned it into a dining experience, surprising us with courses throughout the evening. Not a single course disappointed. We sat at the kitchen bar and were entertained by the chefs and had the pleasure of learning about some of the inspiration behind the food from the head chef and wonderful pastry chef. With the rotating menu, we hope to make this a regular date night!

A Disappointing Experience - Not Worth the Hype We recently dined at this restaurant with high expectations, given its reputation and our previous positive experiences at their Kelowna location. Unfortunately, the visit turned out to be a major disappointment, particularly concerning a poorly prepared steak and the unexpected charges that followed. Upon arrival, we were excited to try almost every item on the menu, ordering drinks and food for our party of nine. Among these items was a medium rare steak, which we eagerly anticipated. However, when the steak arrived, it was far from what we ordered. It was cooked with just a touch of pink, not even remotely resembling the vibrant red we expected from a medium rare steak. At best, it was medium-cooked. Being born and raised Calgarians, we know our Alberta beef, and this was one of the worst steaks weve encountered. We returned 90% of the steak to the kitchen, thinking it was overcooked,tough and dry. To our surprise and dismay, the restaurant decided to charge us for half of the steak stating that half of us were happy with the steak. They never mentioned this policy to us. Had we known we d be charged for it, we would have taken it home to feed the dog. The manager explained that their steaks are sous vide to an internal temperature of 52 degrees, which is supposed to ensure the perfect doneness. However, it seemed they must have overcooked it during the searing process. It was truly disappointing that something as basic as cooking a steak to order could be so mishandled. The $125 charge for the steak, plus the 20% automatic gratuity on top, felt like a slap in the face. We didn t mind the gratuity itself, as it s understandable for larger parties, but paying that extra on a poorly executed dish was frustrating. The server was great and we even left her an extra tip on top of the 20%. As for the rest of the menu, it left much to be desired. The only highlight was the Brussels sprouts, which were good enough for us to order seconds. However, the scallops were a complete rip-off, offering only three small pieces that were not worth the price. Overall, our experience was disappointing, especially since some of our group had previously enjoyed dining at the Kelowna location. Everyone left thoroughly dissatisfied with the quality of the food and the unexpected charges. Calgary has many great dining options, and sadly, this place does not measure up. We won t be returning, and we d advise others to explore the better options available in the city.

This was our second stop on our evening out celebrating my fiancés birthday, and it was great! The atmosphere is very trendy and comfortable. Our server was very nice and made some suggestions for us. We had the brined chicken and the duck confit with a bottle of Grenache Blanc from Spain. We also indulged in the Ruby Cube for dessert, and that was decadent and glorious. All the food was fantastic and the portions were very generous. Our only minor issues were that we were told wed be given a bucket to keep our wine cool and it never came, and we were given our bill immediately after they took our dessert away which felt a bit abrupt. Other than those things, you can really feel the work that goes into their dishes and keeping the atmosphere maintained.

Guy at the front was rude (he seemed like he was manager). We got there and someone came in after us, which he decided to serve them first and ignored us. Told him we had reservations under someones name and he he was giving attitude. When our food arrived, it happened to be the same guy from the front delivering a plate. The order was wrong, he took it back for a second and came back with it like he was hoping we would keep it. Our actual server was friendly. Overall, I wouldnt go back. Food was nothing special and the guy at the front left a bad taste. The environment is nice though.

July 21, 2024

We ordered 6 dishes, three of which were what I d describe as poorly executed/lacking in balance. The service was so attentive so as to be suffocating. My group could barely speak among ourselves. It was so expensive. I would not return or recommend.

The service was great, the food however, was just ok (so far). I know they re fairly new so this may improve but for the price point the food didn t meet expectations

July 21, 2024

We had a terrible experience. Our server did not leave us alone for more than 1 minute-attentive in excess. The burrata was incredibly overpriced for what it was. The short rib tasted like mediocre pot roast beef. The gnoccittini was super fishy and over citrused. The cabbage was very overcooked. We also asked for a wine recommendation and didn t get one. We ended up with the Sangiovese and she dumped it straight down in the decanter, no taste, no cork presentation. The staff that delivered our dishes were fantastic. As I am writing this review, the restaurant cancelled my reservation almost 1.5 hours after we dined, paid and left-assuming so that I don t get my dining points on Open Table and, after giving a negative review, so I can t post these comments in Open Table. Unreal.

Decent sashimi. Brussel sprouts were too sweet. Was expecting more more umph from the cucumber salad. The hidden Speakeasy was just a bar, didnt really transport me to the 1930s. The service was great.

July 21, 2024

We dined here Friday June 28 @730. Seated in the semi private room with a 10 top. Terrible and unorganized First issue was being seated for 20 minutes without any greeting or drink orders being taken. The waiter had to be flagged down to order a drink. He asked if we wanted to wait for our last 2 diners before ordering drinks. I understand waiting for food orders but not waiting to have a drink. When the drinks were dropped off, people s orders were mixed up and they got incorrect drinks from what they ordered. Second issue. 2 couples had ordered the Catch Them All . Both platters were delivered at the exact same time. One couple was given chopsticks to eat with, as well as an explanation of the 5 different fish on the platter. The other couple simply had their platter placed down and the server walked away. Both platters delivered by the same person. The other couple had to flag the server down to get proper utensils and an explanation of what they were going to eat. Third issue. Another couple had a dish dropped off, and the person who dropped it off said it was the duck breast. It was actually in fact the tri tip steak which another couple had ordered. We only found this out when another server had come out saying who got the duck breast, and proceeded to drop off the duck. There was confusion amongst the table as the couple who had already eaten what they thought was duck breast. The person who dropped off the food said they would look into this as neither couple had gotten the food they wanted. When the server came back, he wasn t aware of the mistake and we had to inform him of what had happened. 5 minutes after informing this couple that their steak had been refired, he and asked the couple if they are finished eating and started to clear their plates. The eventual re fire on the steak took another 45 minutes be cooked. This steak was originally ordered medium, but when the steak was dropped off, the server said here is the medium rare steak you ordered. The server then offered to comp the steak for the couple who had ordered the duck breast, but did not offer this to the couple who actually ordered the steak and not received anything at all. Fourth issue. The birthday girl had ordered a dessert. She had saw a picture of this dessert on Salt and Bricks Instagram and showed our server this picture. I don t recall the name but it was essentially an orange chocolate cake. We instead were delivered the Raisin the Bar . After she had tasted the dessert, she realized this was not what she had ordered. The server said that oh it s a different plating today, it just looks different. Until the birthday girl pointed out the raisins that were very evident. The server apologized, but then he instructed her to just finish the dessert that you have and he will look into bringing the other one out. 10 minutes later, the server comes out and says can I drop off the bills. The pacing of the meal was terrible. Certain people got their food before others, and there was no cohesiveness with everyone getting courses together. After 3.5 hours, many complaints, refires, and waiting around, not a single manager stopped in to check to see if they could make the experience better, or even check in at all. There was a lack of care shown by management, and a lack of training or care shown by wait staff. Our servers name was Adrian. He was full of excuses as to what had gone on throughout the night. Food was very average. Some ok dishes, some not good dishes. Definitely no stand out dishes. I hope management follows up on this review, unlike the lack of follow up in person at the restaurant. Overall one of my worst dining experiences I ve had anywhere. I do not recommend this place unless management shows some care, and there is proper menu and hospitality training for staff.

I really wanted to love it but I just didn t. The ingredients were all overpowered with such intense flavour that you could taste them. The chicken skins were covered in a super intense honey mustard sauce. Completely blew out my pallet. The squash blossoms were filled and the filling overwhelmed everything. Just tasted like a deep fried mozzarella stick. The eggplant and duck was good. Maybe we ordered the wrong things I don t know. Not worth it imo. The servers were very flustered and confused as well. During our meal we had 3 different servers Did not honour the speakeasy reso either for the chefs table. Sadly we are moving away but probably wouldn t be back anyways.

I had the pleasure of meeting an old colleague here, and I must say, we were both quite impressed with the experience. The food was amazing, the decor and atmostphere were great (music was a bit loud, but iust my personal reference), and the service was on the spot. We ordered the must-try brussel sprouts, the asparagus, the beef tartare, the corn bread, with gelato for dessert. I dont remember the name of the flavor, but the server described it as when pineapple and apple have a child I had a mango yogurt for drink. My friend had a red wine and martini, I believe. The brussel sprouts blew us away for sure, and I couldnt pick a favorite. The price point might be on a higher end of my budget, but I will pick Salt and Brick for special occasions. I will come back for sure.

Cody, best server, table of 6 ate family style. Scallops perfect, beef tartare, excellent and huge portion, melty burrata great oysters. Kitchen was slammed and mains took a bit but our patience was well rewarded. Happy finish.

A fantastic experience. Exquisitely prepared food. Scallops and duck dishes were an adventure of flavour depth and complexity. Our server Sarah was engaging and awesome. she took the time to explain the concepts of this experience. Most restaurants let you order food and then serve it. Sarah was invested in us understand their menu and the concepts of the restaurant and their amazing food. My new favourite in Calgary by miles.

Food was great. Fun that the menu changes daily. We had a really great pasta that was my favourite, everything was cooked well and seasoned appropriately. The spot was very very busy, and we could tel our poor waitress was rushing to every table. She was excellent but felt a bit chaotic in her section. We sat under the roof top which was very pretty, but it made the area extra loud. Also they used glass wall between the restaurant and the doors to the restroom. Depending how wide someone opened the door, I could see inside. Overall the food was delicious, staff was great, seating was comfortable, environment was sophisticated but comfortable. Will be back.

Came in for dinner with a friend, one of the most exceptional dining experiences Ive had. They have fresh fish flown in daily, and some of the highest quality Salmon Ive tried. The duck breast was cooked to a perfect medium rare, was divine. The steak(of the steak frites) was perfectly cooked, and seasoned well. This is also one of the few restaurants in the city with A5 wagyu, which is a true dining experience. Trina was our server, and was very knowledgeable about wine, pairings, best items on the menu etc. They change the menu weekly, so its always fresh and delicious. This is in my top 5 restaurants in Calgary to visit Update mar 27 2024: The food has gotten even better, the wine pairings are amazing! Oakley makes incredible cocktails! You should ask about Charlies Watch Repair, but only if youre cool! Update June 4th Still amazing, and now they have oysters 4-6pm! Probably the best oysters in the city

Had dinner here on Friday, June 7. Walked in without a reservation and was immediately sat at the bar. It was immediately apparent that all staff had an attitude they were trying to maintain to keep up with the aesthetic of the restaurant even though it came off as incredibly ride. They have a very strange menu and claimed it was all sharing food tapas style. They claimed it would all come out at different times which was ridiculous. The chicken was good but overpriced. Definitely wasnt meant for sharing. Felt like a scam and just forcing us to buy more food because the portions were decent sized and not meant to share. The food was okay, not worth the money though. I suspect people come here for the vibes and atmosphere more than anything. Would not recommend for a good meal. Overpriced and underwhelming.

This place is fabulous, the food is exceptional, the service was wonderful, and the quality overall is stellar. The concept of an ever changing menu keeps things fresh, and the cocktail selection made the experience even better. If the scallops are on the menu, be sure to order them, theyre wonderfully prepared and very flavorful. Make some time to visit the speakeasy for artistry in drink form, youll be glad you did. We will be back, this place is excellent!

May 21, 2024

Very poor customer service. I went with friends and the receptionist was not welcoming from the start. Our server kept leaving after taking two orders (we were just ordering drinks at this time). She also forgot my order which was the scallops that cost $35 for three pieces of scallops. My friends were already done eating by the time my food came. I don t recommend this place AT ALL, food is not worth the price and the bad customer service.

My fiancée and I decided to try Salt & Brick for our anniversary, and right away, as you step in the front door, the atmosphere felt relaxing from the staff to the way it is laid out. The menu was nice and short in a good way, with a good variety. We had Lexie as our server, and she was very knowledgeable about every part of the menu and had great suggestions from our food to our drinks. We shared the paella and chicken, and we absolutely loved both dishes. We would definitely go back and highly recommend Salt & Brick to everyone.

Amazing accomodating staff, especially when you have dietary restrictions. The restaurant itself gives a combination of classic and casual and has what I believe a very open and welcome environment that accepts all people. They even have gender neutral washrooms! I came here for a company dinner and the experience was phenomenal. The only small complaint I have was the music, due to which I wasnt able to hear about the food our server was talking about, which led to me consuming something I have a dietary restriction for.

Try the Brussel Sprouts! So good. Other great choices include the scallops and lamb ragu. I heard they change the menu every week though so hopefully these choices are still there.

We were excited for this new restaurant to join the Calgary food scene but couldn t quite understand the hype. The restaurant was moderately busy on a Sunday evening which is nice, considering it s usually quieter in downtown. We were seated at the front in the cushy seats which was so comfortable! Onto the food: The catch them all - all the sashimi they have on special that night. Everything was fresh in a lovely sweet ponzu sauce. It would ve been a lot better if chopsticks were provided for this dish though. It felt very wrong to eat sashimi with a fork! Sichuan eggplant - this dish really set the bar high and got our hopes up, but it was honestly the only other highlight of the food we ordered. I ve never had eggplant fried so airy, yet not greasy, and just simply tasty. Would ve been great with a bowl of rice. Side stripe shrimp toast - one order comes with two, and there was no option to add only one piece (there were three of us). The shrimp again was fresh but the toast was not the best pairing for it imo. We feel something thinner would ve been better. Tartare - complete disaster. At least we could tell the beef was fresh, but it was completely overpowered by the blue cheese, and I honestly cannot remember any other ingredients aside from the finely shaved truffle. Porchetta - the green curry sauce was nice but we didn t feel it incorporated well into the dish. The pork was not cooked to a soft, melt in your mouth state either. Service was meh in the beginning but more attentive later in the night. Prices are definitely on the higher side.

I was extremely impressed with the flavour profile of every dish, and the open kitchen is a great way to keep yourself excited about whats next to come. Our server was Brie, and she was phenomenal. Attentive, knowledgable, polite, and very interactive, Brie definitely contributed to the overall experience here. The decor of the room is inviting, cozy, but also upscale to create a great room for birthdays, dinner parties, etc. I personally enjoyed the Brussel sprouts (staple), Picanha and a nice pairing with a glass of CabSauv. All of the pastas (which change often) are remarkable and very fresh. The washrooms were private and quaint, great lighting. Overall, we left full, satisfied, and felt the need to make our next reservation right away. Dont wait on this experience, it is truly a breath of fresh air for the Calgary food scene!

My boyfriend and I decided on Salt & Brick for our date night and we were not disappointed! Our server, Cody was spectacular! After chatting about our favourite wines and our preferences, we trusted him with the decision. Cody knew exactly what to grab and brought us a bottle that we absolutely loved, we shamelessly took a photo and added it to or buy list. Thank you, Cody! The menu changes often to accommodate new and fresh local ingredients, and the care for quality shows. They do keep one dish on the menu that everyone MUST TRY- the brussels sprouts! We went for dinner a month ago and were still talking about them. Iykyk. After dinner we were invited into Charlies for drinks. The bartenders are incredibly talented and blew us away. They asked about our preferences and made us the best Mezcal cocktails weve ever had. We cannot wait to come back. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Wonderful New Year s Eve dining experience. The social media staff member was very responsive and accommodating to my last minute reservation request. We started with the bison tartare and greatly enjoyed it with the sourdough bread. We were so excited to try their famous brussel sprouts that we forgot to take a picture! The lamb char siu was so tender we didn t need the sharper knife that accompanied it. The rougie duck breast was also lovely but it was hard to follow the spectacular lamb dish. The NYE slice of cake (banana sticky toffee pudding) was the perfect end to the meal! Everything was beautifully presented and thoughtfully created, making for incredible dining experience. We especially appreciated how considerate the servers were about our allergies and guided us to selecting items we enjoyed. We did give some private feedback via email, but have not heard back from the restaurant yet. Hope to hear from them and dine again soon!

Food lovers review of of wonderful evening out. Shrimp toast - was delightful, the time was put into this dish. This dish had a spicy bite that was a little surprising, It suited the dish well but if you don t do spice wouldn t recommend. Scallops - well well well, there has never been a better scallop dish comprised that I have tasted. The dishes flavours were layer so complex but played each other so well. The nuances are so wonderful, I can not speak higher about a dish Unfortunately for our remaining two dishes they came after the scallops, which is like driving a corvette after driving a McLaren, it s a good ride but just not the same. Bison tartar - quite good, the beet taste was quite mild so if you aren t the biggest fan of beets you will be ok with this dish. However this dish was also quite spicy, I wish my palate took heat better but it is what it is. The bread that was served with the dish was tasty wish they had a store you could buy by the loaf Last but not least Lamb Ragu - this dish was hearty and had the perfect combination of meat to pasta. Definitely one to try if you enjoy a good pasta. The menu was little on the higher side for pricing but you are paying for quality and it is worth it. Service was great. No complaints at all. This isn t a Cactus Club/ Keg style restaurant, the food is created for those who love the ingredients and the talent behind what it means to create a dish. if you want to see a chef put their passion on the plate, this is the place for you

We went here in February for my husbands birthday as a group of 7 and it was fantastic! Ive long been a fan of Chef Bohati and had a few coworkers recommend it. It is such a vibe, the brussel sprouts, sashimi (shoutout to @vealstalk) and steak were bar none. The dessert dreamed up by Lari (plus her buns) were so amazing. I only wished the restaurant was walking distance from me and I would be there weekly! The only minor tweak is to maybe have Caesars on the menu as a few in our group were disappointed by that, but there were so many great wines and drinks, this was quickly rectified. I cant wait to go back and was sad I couldnt attend their first wine pairing dinner - I am keeping my eye out for the next one.

This was not acknowledged or addressed by the waiter when we paid our bills. I followed up on FB - see attached. Although FB says they reply immediately, they have left my message unread. This really has left me with a poor impression of the restaurant after spending close to $500 for a dinner and drinks for five people.

Brought my out-of-town team here for a wrap-up dinner and they were all thoroughly impressed. We dined in the private room, had excellent food and cocktails. As well we had A+ service & hosting from Dallas + Cody. Salt & Brick handled our two allergy requests with ease and did not let those guests feel left out of the planned courses. Check out Charlies Watch Repair afterwards to finish the night, we loved the room and the cocktails there as well. Super cool venue.

I don t know why this place has such good reviews. We made a reservation for 7:15. We showed up on time. The table was not ready. They sat us in a corner and gave us free bubbly and then ignored us for another 20. Hardly acknowledged us when guiding our group to the table. We got our first round of actual drinks nearly 45 minutes later to an hour later (as seen by my photos). 3 scallops cost 35$. When we left, the manger continued to be rude and dismissive. It was a truly gross experience. There are SO much better places to attend in Calgary, just canvass my prior reviews. I strongly encourage people to look elsewhere before coming here.

Overall an underwhelming experience - do not recommend. The vibrant food and drink options are significantly overshadowed by the pretentious, aloof attitude of management and staff alike. We had a reservation, but our table wasn t available for 30 minutes. Normally this wouldn t be a huge issue, but we then had to wait over 45 minutes to even place our drink orders. I could see that the same thing was also happening to a group that arrived shortly after us. Simply unacceptable. The waiter spilled water everywhere multiple times while filling our glasses wouldn t be a huge issue, but this isn t exactly a cheap restaurant I would expect a bit more professionalism. All in all, there are much better options in Calgary for an evening out at this price point. I predict this place will struggle to stick around without a major attitude adjustment.

First off, the decor at salt and brick is nothing short of spectacular. Hats off to the interior designers. The furniture, the lighting, the artwork, everything feels curated and it has this amazing fancy and artsy atmosphere. The service is also top notch. We had a group of 7 and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and frequently came in to check in on us. The cocktails were finely crafted, I had a tequila based cocktail with a hint of chocolate, it was amazing. The food was presented nicely and I felt the portions were fair for the price. I ordered the milk buns with the butter, which were just okay. The beef picana was tough, but the squash chimichurri was sweet and paired well with the potatoes. The salmon was the standout dish as it melted in your mouth and the yuzu had a great flavor. The brussel sprout dish was great but the grapes mixed in threw me off. Overall I would say the food was okay at best. Since this is a rotating menu I d like to come back to see if they can offer something tastier in the future.

I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant. We had a large group and were unable to book on OpenTable so we had to reach out to the restaurant and they were so kind and accommodating to get our large party in! Once we got to the restaurant, we were greeted by such great hosts and our server was probably the most friendly server I have ever had! The food was amazing, the vibe was great and the restaurant is stunning!!! Shelby (who I think is the manager) kept checking in and making sure everything was good! After that we went to the speakeasy that was in the restaurant and it was so cute and the cocktails were great! We will definitely be back!

March 21, 2024

i wish i couldve given a 5 star review, food,ambience,cocktails,presentation were all top notch and everything was all incredibly delicious but the service specifically our server, we asked multiple times for water and just eventually gave up when we realized it was falling on deaf ears,walked by the table multiple times and didnt ask if wanted more drinks completely ignored us until we were clearly annoyed and just wanted to leave at this point, now i will say this from observation it looked like all the other servers were fantastic at their job and it was just ours, should be noted the table beside had top notch service from her, seemed they were friends outside the restaurant edit: had to change to 1 star after more thought into our experience there its very clear the poor customer service starts at the top down,after dining at other restaurants in the area its really just a place for over priced instagram pictures i would recommend take your money to hys steak house or modern or ajitos if you want instagram worthy sushi

Think we caught them on a bad night or there s still some growing pains with it being so new. We came in on a Saturday night with a reservation, very busy spot which was nice to see in Calgary. We were seated next to a couple that seemed to know the staff so we were constantly having people slide in next to me to talk to the couple, one of the items they ordered accidentally was delivered to our table too which caused a little bit of confusion. The food was alright, fingerling potatoes are a definite pass as they didn t taste like much. The fish wasn t cut well and the pieces were stuck together. Everything else was a little lacklustre, however my boyfriend ended up getting sick after our meal! We had to ask for chopsticks for our fish which were given on a used napkin. Beautiful restaurant though, likely won t return unfortunately. Think it was a little overhyped on social media.

Two of my girlfriends and I went to Salt & Brick for a girls dinner and were so impressed with the service and food that I have been raving about it ever since. The brussel sprouts are a must (and a staple on their menu for a reason) but the highlight of the meal was ordering dessert and the server not totally knowing what they were, since the menu changes every week, and bring us photos of drawings that the pastry chef had done before we ordered. Top notch service! Can t wait to return.

Stunning and welcoming ! My husband and I spent two amazing evenings at Salt and Brick. We had to return for those amazing Brussel Sprouts and ambiance. We had the experience of the chef s table as well as the front bar. The food was prepared spectacularly. The attention to detail regarding our food and service was appreciated. The staff worked together and helped clear our table which I thought was great. We will definitely be returning. The dessert menu is amazing. Larry really knows how to impress with the amazing flavour profile and presentation. Thank you for all you do. We appreciate the experience.

I happened to be in Calgary for a brief visit and found my way into the speak easy room at the newly opened Salt and Brick YYC. Dallas-- in charge of operations-- introduced me to the supervisor in the speak easy room, and I was looked after from that point forward. Having worked hospitality, security, and fine dining for years I couldnt have felt more satisfied with the service I received. As a single patron, I was given a space at the bar and was delighted to browse their robust cocktail menu and collection of top shelf spirits. I enjoyed Charlies Old Fashioned-- a duck fat infused spin on the classic cocktail-- and then finished my visit with a taste of Laphroaig. The renovations and interior designs to the building are a touch of class with a bespoke quality that makes one forget for a moment that we are in Cowtown. The style is more akin to a classic American East Coast/West Coast/Mid West speak easy & restaurant operation that is a welcomed diversification to Calgarys nightlife on the historic 10th Ave. A much needed bar and restaurant, clearly catering to the 25-50+ demographic, that is leading the way for Calgary to revitalize the restaurant and bar scene with an air of class. An addition allowing for Calgarians in that demographic the ability to enjoy themselves for a night on the town, while taking a break from the usual cocktail bar or nightclub scene oversaturated with the 18-25 demographic. All this, while being located in the heart of Calgary on 10th Ave near 1st St; great location. Also a shout out to the security team who were also great and did an excellent job diffusing and responding to a visit from the RCMP; that was handled in a way that didnt disrupt or distract from the evening. I will be returning to try the menu when I am back in town, the smells coming from the kitchen were immaculate, Ill be sure to return with an empty stomach next time!

Salt & Brick is a def must visit if you havent been yet. One of the highlights is the fresh seafood menu that changes daily I believe. The Brussels are solid and the cocktails A finely dressed chap with a fancy hat suggested some nice wine pairings with our main entrées and then once we finished we were escorted to Charlies where the top notch cocktails kept us in great spirits. Highly recommend.

We had the most amazing dining experience Saturday night at Salt and Brick! We heard much chatter about this new place, and being huge foodies, we couldn t wait to get there! The events manager, Emily S., booked a cozy yet spacious booth in the back part of the restaurant. The decor was stunning on all of the levels we walked through to our table. From the unique signature cocktails, to the handpicked wine selections, we were well looked after for drinks. Our waiter, Cody was a pleasant mix of being light, funny, but very knowledgeable regarding the menu and ingredients. We were assisted by Cody and Emily to select the best options for what our tastebuds were craving, and we were not disappointed! Watching Emily keeping the food flowing to the tables was a refreshing change from the usually lukewarm warm food that is often served at other establishments. The Cod Cheeks, Brussels Sprouts, Bolognese pasta, Beef Wellington, Scallops, Pork Belly were all clearly prepared by the finest chefs, and all arrived piping hot! We ended with a dessert also recommended by Emily, and shared the fresh tropical flavours of Blood Orange, Vanilla bean combo called the Dreamsicle! WOW!! We will definitely be back when we return to Calgary. Do yourself a culinary favor and run to Salt and Brick!

Had the pleasure of attending the grand opening night at S&B Calgary. Having been a regular at the S&B Kelowna for many years, I was blown away just from the entrance. The space is beyond beautiful. The design team here knocked it out of the park. In true form, I had invited a few more people than the preferred 6/table for opening night, and the owners were able to pull some strings and accommodate, even on their busiest night! Our server was an absolute pleasure, and it was evident how happy he was to be working there as well. He set us up with multiple chef recommended dishes, and toured us through the culinary delights of S&B. I had high expectations of the brussel sprouts specifically, and these did not disappoint. S&B Calgary and S&B Kelowna are very different and similar enough that it still has the ambience and vibe that I ve come to know and love. Well done S&B team, can t wait to see what else you accomplish in the future.

Unbelievable dining experience at Salt&Brick tonight. Lari s buns were fluffy and light, espresso martini was balanced (bonus points for 3 beans), sea bass was perfectly cooked and flaked gorgeously. Lastly the miso caramel desert was ridiculously tasty without being too sweet. Shelby, Prince, Lexi-Lynn, and the rest of the staff are some of the best hosts that I ve experienced in hospitality, definitely will be back.

March 21, 2024

Very overpriced. Food also taste only ok, given that everything is overpriced. The small portion of the dishes caught us all off guard. We were recommend by the Sever to order multiple dishes for sharing with everyone in our group (5 people), so we ordered 6 dishes. And by the end of the meal, we are all still hungry because of how small everything is. We also customised the scallop dish to add one more scallop, turns out that one extra scallop cost 8 dollars. ( the original 3 scallop price was 37 dollars) Last thing I would like to mention was the cake cutting fee, it was 5 dollar per person for a cake that we brought in. I understand the fee is to cover the price of washing extra dishes however it is still way to expensive. The only thing we were satisfied with is that the sever was very passionate and friendly.But we are very disappointed, never coming back.

March 21, 2024

I know one star seems dramatic; our rating system designates 1 star to a place we would not consider returning to. We had high hopes, but in just over two hours of dining there only received 3 dishes. This is in spite of the fact that we were wholeheartedly dedicated to ordering seven of the dishes at the start of the evening when we arrived. The food when it finally did arrive was a solid 6.5/10; including 1.5 scallops each, for $36. I kid you not. We ultimately decided to halt on ordering more food, and just leave to go elsewhere to salvage the remainder of the evening. So much of our time was wasted, that by the time we left, everywhere else was closed (Roy s Kitchen, Embarcadero). We ended up just ordering McDonald s. Ultimately, the reason for such a low review, is the value to experience ratio was regrettable. I m happy to spend $36 on 3 scallops if it s an experience that stays with me. The overall takeaway from the experience is: they took on a massive location for a very niche demographic, and need to subsidize the costs of renovating and remodelling through the menu prices. With such a large space, they would be better off following a public house model. Update: I did try to contact the owner Casey after he replied, I gave him my number and told him I would be free all day to talk. He never did call or reach back out.

I hate to leave a 1 star review but definitely need to warn others. To note the 1 star review is for front of house. Back of house ( kitchen ) would be a 5/5. Boyfriend and myself had high hopes for this place after seeing the pictures on Instagram. But honestly thats all this place is, a place to take influencer pictures. My boyfriend also left a review, they said to email but didnt email back. The waitress completely ignored us through our time there. Asked for water more than once but didnt bring any. Manager made a rude comment about us having too much food on our table. We planned on ordering more food and drinks but after the rude comment and the fact couldnt even get water left early. Food tasted good but definitely overpriced for what you are getting/portion size.

My recent visit to this said bar left me deeply disappointed.
