Cilantro

We came to Cilantro for a ladies night. Our server was wonderful and took such great care of us. I've been here several times over the years and it is one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary. The food is always amazing and they keep the menu fresh, changing it frequently. The atmosphere is lovely. Great place for date night!

Fantastic restaurant. The food, ambiance, and customer service experience. This place has been in business for over 30 years and when you step in is obvious why. Let's start with a very well thought out menu, from classics to some innovative dishes. The drink list rivals that of a liquor store, which means you will find at least 2-3 things to pick from regardless of your taste. Additionally the attention to the smallest details is what made the experience amazing. They have in house carbonated water, and probably the best cutlery in the city. Again, such a small detail but that makes dinner into something special. Some places in Calgary are not worth the awards and are quite simple overrated. Make no mistake that cilantro is not one of them. One small thing would be that parking is free but not advertised in the back. I would recomend putting a sign saying that parking is included and ample.

We sat on the patio, which had lovely decor and a nice ambiance. Our server was extremely friendly, polite, and checked in on us often. We ordered cocktails to start. I got the Aviation and my friend got the Peach Vodka Sour. They were good, but not outstanding. Pricey at $14 each for the size of the drink.
