Reviews for The Highwood in Calgary, AB

It is a school, so keep that in mind. Our waiter was very green. But he was very polite and tried to be cognisant of our needs,... including time constraints. The food was all around good. Would definitely go back! Read more

We were a table of six, at the last seating. The food was fantastic, good portion size. The service was very good. A little shy... and not as engaging but that should come with practice. They were accommodating to taste and food restrictions. And the dessertswere great. Read more

Awesome dining experience and our server was super attentive. The food tasted amazing and was plated beautifully. The desserts... were not too sweet, just perfect! Read more

Great establishment to introduce older kids to their first fine dining experience without feeling as if you're the breaking the... bank!???????? Read more

We finally got a chance to check this place out (open after covid restrictions were lifted). The overall experience was decent.... Food quality was amazing! Read more

Parking was free after 6pm and there were lots of available spots close by (thats good when outside was -35!). When you walk in... it does not feel like a school. The restaurant had giant pillars that made me feel like i was on a cruise ship. Some corners ofthe room were very dark and there was no table lighting. We knew this place was for students to gain real life experience butthe server that we had seemed shockingly inexperienced to the point that was quite entertaining. We sat at the table for 15minutes waiting for the rest of our party and didnt get a menu to peruse. The waiter would ask a question and when answered inthe positive would have to leave then come back to do the task. If youre looking for good service for the price or have lowpatience this might not be for you. That being said, our server was polite and you could tell he was trying his best. The foodwas good (slighty under salted for my taste) but portion sizes were reasonable. The desserts were a perfect ending as they wereexceptional (sorry no pic cuz they were so good). A little bit on the pricey side being $50 per person and does not have a kidsmenu. An extra main was $20. Overall I left full and satisfied. Read more

The Highwood in SAIT is so wonderful! The food is amazing and the service is outstanding! From start to finish everything was... done with such professionalism and great detail. Every course I had was delicious, the atmosphere inviting and the drink listsuperb. I'll definitely be back. Read more

The whole experience was not so good, and we definitely won't go back. The bread was from last week's class... Hard and chewy.... Appetizers were OK. The soup (the one in the cappuccino cup) and salad were fantastic. The main dishes were great. My steak wascooked perfectly, but I just did not like the big chunk of deep fried hash brown with my steak cause it made my steak extraheavy. The deserts were beautiful but tasted terrible. I could not even finish one third of mine and I tried! Very bad way tofinish the meal to be honest. The server never asked us how things were, and the two times that I mentioned something, nothingchanged. At the end they almost charged us for another table by mistake. I caught it only because I always check my bill andfelt like it was a lot higher. So, two stars because four out of seven (bread, dessert, service, and the value) were fail forus. I understand they are students, but when I pay over $110 for two, I start to expect high quality and good service. Read more
