Reviews for ONE18 EMPIRE in Calgary, AB
We stopped in for a couple of drinks so this review is based only on that. I love a good old fashioned and I have always heard... people say One18 is the place to go. It's a treat to have them come to your table and smoke the glass for you. Our server wasincredibly nice, attentive and aware. I wish I could remember her name because she deserves to be mentioned. You could tell shehad made countless smoked old fashions for people and had the knowledge of how each type of wood would change your drink. If youpick a standard bourbon/whiskey, they are pretty affordable for Calgary standards. Next time I will have to come for some foodas well...but will stay for the old fashions. Read more
Great service and flexible staff. I wanted a quick lunch at 11:00 am before catching my flight. The guys had no problem... accommodating. Had the classic steak frites. Delicious. Read more
Ordered some appetizers to share between two people. Calamari was delicious! Short ribs were a bit dry whereas the beef tartare... was my least favourite dish as we didn't finish that one. Our server was friendly and attentive. Read more
I'm staying at the hotel for a conference and stopped in for a cocktail the first night. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. My... martini was made exactly as I asked and the bartender was very accommodating. Will definitely stop in again. So I stopped inagain for a nightcap and went with a Smoked Old Fashioned with walnut, Maple syrup, Aztec chocolate Bitters and Knob CreekBourbon. Read more
I've been wanting to try out @One18Empire for the longest time, and finally got a chance to do so this past weekend. We had a... lovely family brunch with some pretty good food! ???????????????? ???????? ????????????????????: ???? ????-???? ????? ??????????????? ($21): Be warned... this is a huge sandwich! It comes with house-cut sea salt fries, house made piri-piri sauce, smokedsweet pepper aioli, pickled cabbage slaw on a brioche bun. We quite enjoyed this! The chicken was nice and crispy and wellseasoned. ???? ???18 ???? ?????? ($23): The brown butter croutons are so so good! I was tempted to ask for them as a side :p!We added chicken to our salad and it was perfectly grilled. Great healthy option! ???? ???18 ?????? ($23): Another huge burger!The patty is so fresh! They grind the meat in-house which is what makes it so fresh and yummy. I also loved the smoked cheddar,you could totally taste it! * Partially compensated Follow me on @WanderingInYYC for all things YYC! Read more
Unbelievable evening. Oren and Luke are just fantastic people first and foremost but rock as servers. Great greeting when... arriving and drinks/food suggestions. The night was just amazing and the standard of service that we received is the benchmark.We will be back with service that most places would envy. Read more
Dine in dinner: chicken burger appears to be a solid choice in terms of value, taste and presentation. Everything else ordered... had some shortcomings. Brussel sprouts, good but looks blasé. ?Wagyu? Beef tartare; high expectations came up short when it wasserved over burnt toast and indiscriminate aioli sauce. Foie Gras Pate: good but only two pieces of oddly accompanied cornbread. Confit duck wings; all 5 pieces were drum sticks! Read more
Such a fun restaurant. I have been here twice now, once for brunch and most recently for cocktails on Saturday night. George,... our server was amazing with the friendliest service and most delicious old fashioned cocktails. Andy was such a good vibe too! Itotally recommend ONE18 for a fun, and vibrant experience!
