:rofl:

Bolero :dunno: its different and classy enough for an anniversary

[dannie]

You could do Chili Club Thai House, Moroccan Castle or Mercato. When you say different, I assume ethnic? You could also try Marathon, the ethiopian restaurant in Kensington.

How many years you been together? (makes a difference)

And by the way you saying "not too much"... I'm guessing 1-3 years together

[410440]

3 years.


We eat at alot of restaraunts like earls, smugglers, open sesame. I was looking for something different....

I guess by different I mean not so mainstream, like not a chain restaraunt.

Maybe some smaller calgary only restaraunts that are not available anywhere else? :dunno:

[dannie]

Not chain restaurants eh? Man, there are a ton.

Chili Club is small and very good thai food.

Mercato is very cool.

Belgo

La Brezza is a quaint, inexpensive italian restaurant

Bistro 2210 is very nice, not overpriced and small

Piq Niq downtown is very classy

Escoba is a Favorite, very nice for an anniversary

Village Cantina in Inglewood is very casual, if you want to go that route

Fleur De Sel is a fantastic place for an intimate anniversary dinner. Its small and very good food and romantic

If none of those interest you, I'm sure I can think of others :)

On a side note my GF cant have dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.)

I love italian but its tough to eat

What is this Bistro 2210?

Escoba?

[ekguy]

Murietta's if you can spend a bit. Moroccan Castle is also very secluded and private but not a big menu.

[dannie]

Bistro 2210 is on 4st and is 2 doors down from Mercato. Very good food, small yet modern atmosphere. The website doesnt work, so I would call and check hours before you go.

Escoba is awesome.

It used to be in the fantastic location in Penny Lane, down the stairs and it had an almost wine cellar feeling. The new place is just as nice and the food is fantastic

Well.. after reading a review on SKY 360 Lounge & restaurant.. take here there. Guranteed :love:

[Mibz]

...Has it really only been 3 years between you two? I thought you started going out right around the time Vicky and I did, our 5 year was last month.

Give the upper level of Catch a try, although it can get a bit pricey.

[HiSpec]

Oceana - seafood restaurant, good atmosphere, reasonably priced, after dinner you can take a walk along the park at the back provided is not cold that evening.

[Xtrema]

Teatro

[TYMSMNY]

Actually another place you might want to try is River Cafe on Prince's Island.

[Kona9]

Try Blowfish Sushi. (If you two like sushi) It is a smaller, higher end place and pricing works out to about 30 bucks a head with a drink or two.
Pretty nice place with pretty damn good sushi!!

Sultans Tent
+1 for Escoba
Bears Den


take her for dessert at nectar desserts

[TomcoPDR]

Have you decided yet???

What about Treasures Of China?

[BigWill]

Muse in kensington is a good restaurant, that where i took my ex, she loved it... kinda pricey though

[DJ_NAV]

Mango shiva for some fusion food.. it's not too pricey.... but it is pricey compared to other indian restuarants.... awesome decor!

[bubbley]

Broken plate kensington!! Or sultans tent!! cool as hell

My friend works at Nectar Desserts and it's a definite spot if you want to impress a date. A couple drinks and dessert for each and you're looking at upwards of 30$ easy. For 2 pieces of cake and a couple drinks it's alot. I tried the chocolate pate and some nice port. It was definitely worth the money I spent there.

[ekguy]

Pulcinella is always a good spot too.

If you go ask for a spot where you can see the oven they cook the pizza in. It's impressive how they smoke the pizza as well.

La Pulcinella (http://www.pulcinella.ca/)

plus last time I was in there they had a spotless Ducatti sitting in the restaurant...But still very very classy...Just happened to have a superbike sitting in the restaurant haha.

[suen_boi]

I thought the Bear's Den food didn't reflect the price we paid.

Try River Cafe or Embarcadero.

The GF ended up with the ultimate choice, ended up going to the cheescake cafe on a recommendation of a friend of hers.


although she couldnt get cheesecake... lol.


Ended up getting some lemon chicken dish and I got the fish and chips...


lemon chicken was pretty good.

fish and chips were gross.

But i had some cheesecake.. haha.

[TomcoPDR]

Glad you had a good time, had did the rest of the night go for you? :poosie:

Why can't she have chessecake?

If you enjoy watching your date vomit. I suppose some people are into that.

that can't be common me and my ex went plenty of times and we never even got close to being sick and we never ordered the same thing twice except the appetizer lasagna which is amazing. Bad experience can happen at the best restaurants.

I stand corrected. It should have read:

"If you and your date enjoy eating vomit."
