is currently starving..."I love food, but not any food."
I love to try new things. When I find something I like, I love to share with my friends and family. Usually when I find something I like, it is spectacular as I tend to be quite picky in the food I create as well as the food I purchase.

My Donair
Aug 4, 2008
Not All Donairs are Created Equal
This “My Donair” is by far the best donair place to go in Calgary. Do not even attempt to try the other “My Donairs” as this one is the tops. The gentleman that works here is one of the most friendly people in the world. I always see him handing out samples of his donair meat to people walking by. Anyone that gets a sample generally purchases something there.

Super Donair
Their sweet sauce is what makes it so special. The meat is done and spiced well, don’t kid yourself. The wraps are custom made with a variety of toppings. My favorite is: onions, little lettuce, and peppers. Ask for extra sauce on the side… Incredible.

A Touch of Ginger

Best Spicy Chicken in the world
I hate to give a mall restaurant 5 stars. Especially for 1 dish. However, that 1 dish has had me coming back to this place time and time again. I am addicted to the spicy chicken with vermacelli. I beleive the price is 6.95. Not hefty by any standards. However, this is one of the best dishes I have had ANYWHERE bar none. The owner is one of the nicest people I have met, and recognized me after not visiting for well over a year.

Spicy Chicken
I feel like a heal for writing this review. I have NEVER eaten anything else at this place. If you are ever in Eau Claire, and like a little kick in your food, you HAVE to try this.
Capri Pizza & Steak House
Aug 4, 2008
Great Food, Great Price
This place will satisfy the hungriest of souls. Portions are huge, and tasty. The pizza here is incredible… though I do not like cold pizza the next day, their pizza is so good I can eat it cold as well.

Veal Parmesan
Two large pieces of tender veal with lots of cheese, and tomato sauce on them. I used to order this with Spaghetti (which is how Veal Parmesan should be served)… but now it costs $2 extra… for pasta?! instead of rice / baked potato? Meal comes with a starter salad, and vegetables on the side as well… Vegetables were very over cooked on my last visit.

Capri Special Pizza
This is as far as I am concerned a MUST have. This pizza is one of the best Pizzas I have ever had barring a pizza place in Morinville (north of St Albert) called Alexis Steakhouse. If you live in Calgary, you must try this pizza.
Vlasis Pizza

Great Pizza, Excellent Price
Decent price, and a great pizza place. There are many other dishes on the menu that taste very good for the price.
Pasquales

Great Italian food
I have been to MANY italian restaurants in Calgary. Before you mention “Olive Garden”, or “Old Spaghetti Factory”, I must stop you from speaking before you embarass yourself.
This is one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. The ambience is great, and there are a number of authentic tastey dishes at a reasonable price. Some may find it expensive, but the cost is well worth it.
-
Veal Bocconcelli
This is one of the best Veal dishes I have ever had. It is stuffed veal with a choice of pasta. The pasta was Penne, and I find it very difficult to find a good penne in any restaurant (either too al dente for my liking, or no flavor in the sauce).
Los Mariachis
Aug 4, 2008
Great Mexican Food at reasonable price
Excellent rustic style restaurant with authentic cuisine. Although I am accustomed to more spice than this, the food prepared here tastes like the real thing. Food presentation is phenomenal. Choices on the menu are substantial. We received free nachos to munch on before the meal (with home made salsa, and some sort of oil/vegetable accoutrement).
-
Nachos Del Rey
Probably one of the best Nacho dishes I have ever had. Cheese piled high with a unique spicy sour cream sauce (as well as various other toppings). Comes with Guacamole.
-
Chimichangas
3 chimichangas (beef or chicken… I had a mix of the two) covered in a red sauce with their unique spiced sour cream. These were excellent. Could have used extra spice. Comes with Rice and Beans.
-
Burritos
Beef or Chicken. A little over kill on the shredded lettuce. Once again, I am accustomed to eating spicier food. Add a bit of hot sauce, and this one is a winner. Comes with Rice and Beans.

Carver's Steakhouse
Jul 14, 2008
Great food Reasonable Price
This is a fine dining restaurant. While the atmosphere is not as serene as some fine dining restaurants, the service, and food more than make up for it. Their somalier is well versed, and their 3 signature (in my opinion) dishes are incredible and keep me coming back for more.
-
Steak Diana
Tenderloin done to your liking, and cooked with the sauce table side. Sauce is what makes the meal (mushrooms, red onions, garlic, lemon, worschestershire, tobasco, some sort of gravy, heavy cream, and variety of spices and alchohol)
-
Strawberry Pepper Crepes
For two. Prepared table side in famboyant display. Very tastey with hint of almond.
Bears Den Restaurant
Jul 11, 2008
Service, Price and Ambience do not make up for meal
I am by no means a food critic or aficionado, but I have dined in many restaurants in Calgary; throughout the country, and around the world. Bear’s Den is a “fine dining” restaurant. If you are looking for an ambiance that will impress your date or family, this is the place to go. However, if you are looking for tasty food you better aim your arrow else where. I am unsure if anyone that has ordered the surf and turf would ever order it again. The Rock Lobster was beyond bland to the point of being bitter. The scallop was done ok as well as the shrimp; the spicing on my appetizer and meal was done so subtly that it almost tasted like an orange kool aid reduction with no sugar added. This is especially disconcerting considering I ordered a sauce with my meal that was called “five pepper”. I have no complaints about the steak. The filet was large, and done to perfection. Sad as it is to say, the amuse bouche was the highlight of the meal. This is one restaurant I will not be attending again.

Filet Mignon and Surf and Turf
Scallop style potatoes were good. Brocollini was good. 1 Scallop was good. 1 Shrimp was good. Filet was large, and done the way I asked. Five Pepper sauce was so subtle it was atrocious. Rock Lobster was mushy, and extremely bitter.
