A very traditional Chinese food restaurant that specializes in Dim Sum for lunch. Based on our table of 10 persons, the food was pleasing to all. The bill was expensive for lunch, but the food quality was good and the service was usually attentive. I wouldn't put this on my list of favourites, but if you want real authentic Chinese, this is one of the few places in Houston (I'm told) to go.

I've had lunch here a couple of times, and was quite impressed with the food. The menu has some interesting selections, and the prices were OK although this isn't the typical cheap downtown lunch spot. A pretty good value

This place is gone. Now in the same location - Gugliani's Italian

Nice ambience. We just ate appetizers so I can't comment on the overall selection of food, but certainly what we had was nice.

Consistently fabulous. The praline's at the front door are worth the trip alone. We go here for the standard business function (retirements/departures) and the staff always handles things well. Only downside is the lack of parking. Valet is available.

We ate here with a group of about 10 people and everyone seemed satisfied. One of the group was so impressed with the restaurant that this was his third time back. Personally, I found it OK, but nothing that I would write home about. The service and the atmosphere were both good though and the food seemed well prepared. I ate a shrimp pasta off the menu and the chef was generous with the shrimp. I think you probably will be satisfied. The fish selections were deemed fresh and tasty by those that ate them.

Well, first of all, the spelling of the restaurant name is wrong - it is Bellaggio Cafe with 'g's rather than 'j's. Four of us went for lunch here, and all of us left happy. I had a chicken wrap that was uniquely and wonderfully flavoured. The margaritas weren't as good as Texas, but you couldn't complain at $4.99. The servers were pleasant and prompt and the atmosphere was delightful. All in all a pleasing experience.

I had some corn and clam chowder which sounded very appetizing but turned out to be fairly average. The same went for the pasta - nothing offensive - it just lacked any zing. And lastly the beer. For a brew-pub, this bear was just not that special. Great service, average libations.

I'm not sure that anything makes this place in Banker's Hall stand out, but the food and service were certainly adequate. Spring rolls, ginger beef and the other dishes we ordered all seemed somewhat better than average. If you are looking for Chinese in this part of town, you won't have any complaints.

I'm not sure why, but the place was completely packed on a weekday night. Food, atmosphere and drinks were just great as was the service by the wait-staff. A great local bar and casual restaurant.

I never used to go to this restaurant when I lived just a block away because there was always a line-up. Now that I'm just a visitor to Calgary, I dropped by at 9:00 p.m. on a Friday. The food was good enough. The cheesecake (which I had room for because I only had an appetizer) was much better than I remembered. Not a bad dessert place or a casual meal place. I didn't find that it was particularly expensive.

The sign outside claimed a "best-in-Calgary" vote by some magazine, but I would hazard a guess that there are better places, not that this was too bad. I've had better Homous, which we tried as an appetizer. We had to park about a block away as the parking lot was full, but that's not much different than some other Greek restaurants I'm familiar with. My main complaint was with the desserts. The main courses (one lamb and one stew with a Greek name that I can't recall were actually not too bad. The baclava though came as a roll rather than a three point wrap and a so-called chocolate mousse, was more like a unfrozen chocolate pudding, slightly damaged by the act of freezing it. It was sub-par for any restaurant. The service was prompt and pleasant though. Personally I think I prefer Mykonos, but this will do in a pinch.

Creston's attempt at an upper-scale retaurant. The interior is pleasant and small enough to be called intimate. There's not much parking out front on the main road, but you can park behind the restaurant. We found the food to be a bit uneven. It's not that the less desirable stuff was bad - it was just somewhat bland and lacked character. The shrimp appetizer didn't taste much of garlic or lemon for example. Of the three main courses, the lasagna and the veal porcini seemed to be the best. The chicken marsala didn't go over too well. I didn't care for the bread either. It seemed much too store-bought generic. I expect some nice bread suitable for dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. These seemed more like stale buns. Apparently this place is fairly new, so they may improve some of their selections and given that some of the plates were quite good, if lacking in quantity, it is probably worth trying a few things from the menu before passing final judgement.

The restaurant is dismal....for locals only. The main attraction is the line of slot machines on the back wall. However, the pizza is not bad, and you can drink a beer while you wait to take it home with you. It's not usually crowded so the service is prompt.

The Calgary no-workers syndrome has hit this place. It was more than 25 minutes after order that we got our drinks - a glass of wine and a coffee. The table next to us was about ready to leave if they didn't get their food after about an hour's wait. Once received, the bread pudding, although certainly not like they make it in Louisiana, was edible and the hostess and waitress were pleasant enough. We ate outside on the 'patio' so I can't speak to the ambience in the restaurant, but the street scene was....entertaining....as Stephen's Avenue Mall usually is.

Service has always been above par here and the food is consistent. Burger was excellent. I had a salad and enjoyed the Raspberry vinaigrette, even though I was surprised that they didn't have 1000 Islands, French or Honey Mustard. Pretty good place for a casual meal and a good beer.

A better alternative than that other coffee place. At least you can get some nice treats here. The menu is extremely limited, but it looks like they are at least trying to put out some breakfast items and light lunch items. The breakfast sandwichs are pretty good. The atmosphere is nice and the staff seem to treat you well.

A bit pricey, but the food was pretty good. The crawfish etouffe (the 'soup' of the day) lacked flavour, but my steak was very nicely done and tasty. The seafood dishes were all enjoyed and looked well presented. The deserts are more reasonably priced than the appetizers, soups and entrees at about $5-6 a piece. I had the pecan pie which was excellent. The cheesecake was huge and tasty.

Consistently good revues by others. I'm not a Mexican fan myself, but I couldn't complain about the quantity/quality of the food. The place seems to be consistently busy and parking was a bit dicey for a late lunch on a weekday. The service was attentive so all-in-all a better than average place to eat. There is a back patio if the weather is nice and you are so inclined.

Went for lunch. As with the previous reviewer, the service was average at best, drink was incorrect and priced higher than the menu price, and lunch took more than 45 minutes to deliver. The food was good. If you like the restaurant, try a different location (249/1960 provides decent service)
