The Wednesday Room - Calgary

It was a beautiful experience. Great cocktails and food. Will definitely go again.

The food was amazing, highly recommend Wednesday Room for groups, especially if you like to share!

Upon arrival for our 5pm reservation on NYE for 2 people we were greeted and then immediately told that we would need to vacate our table by 7. We ordered espresso martinis and 15 minutes later then told us the coffee machine had just broken. Ordered a bottle of wine instead. The server could not open the bottle and was at our table awkwardly struggling for about 10 minutes before she took the bottle and had someone else uncork it away from the table in the middle of the restaurant. We tried to order beef croquettes and they were out of those. We got 7 spice chicken which was sweet and savoury. We ordered charred potatoes which were flavourless boiled mini potatoes. The pork belly was a dried out pork chop with a layer of fat. It was terrible. The ribeye was a poor cut with a large piece of gristle through the middle. Only a few decent bites out of that. During the course of the 90 minutes we were there the female servers spent most of their time standing around talking to the male bartenders. We had to refill our own wine the entire time. When the server brought the food she was quite rude with placing the dishes on the table as it was a small table for 2. We basically only ate the chicken and tried the other 3 items eating about 25 percent of our meal. We finally fed up and asked for the bill. The espresso martinis were on the bill and had to ask it changed which took forever. The people beside us were drinking cappuccino, which was strange that the coffee machine was apparently broken. While waiting 15 minutes for our bill to fixed a new table was seated and the women that arrived had enough perfume on to need to call the fire department. Only time I have left zero dollars for a gratuity. An awful experience to say the least. While I had been to the Wednesday room in the past for many business meetings this one left me with no desire to return. We didn’t even finish our wine.

Love the vibe and the decor. The Cocktails are inventive and delightful. Service was a little on the slow side. The Scallops were in a sauce that was too sweet for my taste, and the flavor overpowered the delicate taste of the scallops. The other dishes were very nice. Was good value. I plan to go back to try some other entrees and more of the cocktails.

Really great venue. Loved way waiting staff left us to chat in between courses. Very fun eve.
