 eorge Costanza famously wanted to name his child seven, but was sadly not given the chance. The owners of this fine Calgary eatery have decided to go one better and call their restaurant Eight. There are of course obvious puns to be had, but don’t let the playfulness of the name deceive you into believing that this establishment is by any means a novelty restaurant. A wood-filled, 40-seat, three-fireplace patio simply oozes with class. The chef describes the menu as New Canadian with a West Coast touch. We’re not 100% sure what that means either, but exquisitely prepared dishes featuring sablefish, salmon, lamb loin, beef tenderloin, halibut and chicken adorn the menu. These aren’t ingredients that reinvent contemporary cooking, but they are all consistently delicious. Just try not to make too many jokes with the waitress about ‘having a reservation at Eight.’ Trust me, they’ve heard that one before. -P.B. |
