Just had a fantastic dining experience at Chef's Table.
Here's some of my personal tasting notes for Chefs Table March 12:
Octopus, prosciutto, eggplant puree, artichoke hearts and Chardonnay...remarkable! ***
Pickled Spring Vegetables: Beet, cucumber, carrot, cauliflower, kohlrabi on a bed of goat cheese /w goat foam on top
- each veg marinated in a different brine: beets in sherry, kohlrabi in apple and kombu, carrots in orange and vinegar, cucumber in dill, cauliflower in white wine
- amazing!!!! ****
Chardonnay; (Vin d'orge?) from South Africa **
/w gnocchi with roasted hazelnuts
- wine tastes sweeter /w gnocchi, but wine brings out the hazelnut flavour in the gnocchi.
- enjoyable ***
St Francis, Sonoma County, 2006 (Cab Sav) - buttery, full bodied red / w a little spice (pepper) in the finish
/w beef tenderloin, with pomme Anna, madjool dates, 'green puree', Easter Island radishes (yum!), and lavender to garnish...mmm, I'm in Heaven...the lavender adds to the unique taste of this dish.
- magnificent ****
Michele Chiarlo, Nivole, Mosato d'asti Italy
/w deconstructed creme brûlée /w rose petal & hibiscus flower meringue and raspberries, vanilla bean custard, marzipan and lavender flowers...mmmm!!! AND Cocoa Butter & Raspberry ****
- fantastic finish to a splendid night at Chefs Table
Exec Chef: Duncan Ly and Chef de Cuisine: Craig Boje - hats off to you both. It was an amazing meal! -

Now open for brunch, so I booked a reservation for 4 on a Sunday at 11am.
A very nice setting in the Kensington Riverside Inn, I had the impression it was called the Kensington Arms hotel. Not sure where I got that idea. Anyway, the restaurant is somewhat small, appropriate for the size of hotel. There are about 6-8 tables, white table clothes, silver, signature settings, open view to the chef/kitchen.
Greeted by nice server who took our coats and seated us, then went off to prepare our coffees. I ordered a double espresso macchiato confidently as she seemed to know her stuff, which she truly did as my espresso was excellent. There was only one server, but there was certainly no lack of service.
The chef's special was a chorizo omelette with cheddar and peppers, that seemed fine with me, and it was. Others had eggs benedict, and other omelettes which everyone found agreeable. There were only a couple of other tables occupied even though it was 11 am (prime brunch time). The bill was no more expensive than any other decent brunch.
Very relaxed and pleasant ambience. I hope no one else finds out about this, as it is really really hard finding decent brunch places in this town.
I can't say what anything other than brunch would be like, but I expect that it would be top drawer.
Every time anyone asks me where to stay in Calgary, I always recommend this place. To date, not a single person has taken my advice on it. Their loss, as the location cannot be beat. It seems the perfect hotel to me. -

Chef's Table is one of Calgary's best fine dining experiences.
Service is knowledgeable, attentive, friendly and efficient.
Food is wondrous...try the seven-course tasting menus if you're ready for a sumptuous culinary adventure.
Wines are fantastic...matched with great precision to the dishes.
Decor is beautiful, upscale but approachable.
Chef's Table is an intimate 40-seat restaurant located in the charming 19-room boutique hotel -- Kensington Riverside Inn. Ideal for romantic escapes or a celebratory occasion. Patio dining in the summer. Just heard they also have a weekend brunch.
