 amed after the planet closest to the sun, a hot young crowd and sizzling party atmosphere that’s sure to spike the mercury in the thermometer is pretty much guaranteed at this venue (especially on Sundays - of course). Ambitiously aiming to cater to the resto/lounge/dance club crowd, this hotspot hopes to attract the downtown hipsters by the hordes.
 Luring them with a menu full of Asian, Indian and local fusion dishes for dinner, a bevy of bevvies (cocktails, beers & martinis) for Happy Hour, and a heart-thumping party atmosphere where resident DJs throw down their beats on weekends for patrons to lure potential mates with dance floor mating moves there is literally something for everyone.
In keeping with the heat theme the spicy chicken curry lives up to the restos moniker and the hot and sweaty club environment somewhat resembles the 430°C surface temperature of the planet (ok a slight hyperbole). Fortunately the two patios cater to the overheated where clubbers can release some steam and cool down in the crisp Calgary air.
