“ This restaurant was lovely. I had the 35 lunch menu where you choose between tempura beans or a salad for an appetizer and a steak sandwich or miso salmon for the main and then get a mini jar of mousse for dessert. I had the tempura beans which were cooked perfectly. So good. I would come back just for these. I was surprised by the piece of salmon at before me. It was a solid piece of fish with a bit of bok choy (needed a bit more) and carrots with rice on the side. Cooked perfectly. Mousse was decadent and silky. I had The Subscription for my cocktail. A take on an old fashioned with whiskey and Appleton rum and coffee bitters. Definitely one of the strongest drinks I’ve ever had but well made The tables were not too close together. When you have bench seating it’s a concern hoping to squeeze by people without hitting anything ...Model Milk has close seating Service was excellent. The waitress was friendly and efficient and on pointe. I’ll be back to try the Branzino ”
“ My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our honeymoon at FinePrint, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly special, and the attention to detail from the entire staff elevated our evening beyond expectations. A huge thank you to Jules, our waitress, whose attentiveness and warmth made our night unforgettable. She anticipated our every need — refilling drinks, ensuring we were comfortable, and making us feel truly cared for without ever being intrusive. Her service was impeccable. I also want to recognize Sarah and Casey who helped me plan a surprise earlier in the week. When I called to ask if there was anything I could do to make the night even more special, she immediately suggested adding flowers to our table. Within 30 minutes, everything was arranged perfectly, setting the stage for a romantic and memorable evening. The ambiance was incredible. We were seated at what felt like the best spot in the house, with a perfect view of the chefs in action — an experience that added a unique and exciting element to our meal. Watching their craftsmanship was mesmerizing and made us appreciate the culinary artistry even more. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the FinePrint team went above and beyond to make our night one we will never forget. This was more than just dinner — it was a celebration, a memory, and an experience we will cherish forever. Thank you to the entire FinePrint staff for making our honeymoon celebration so special. If you’re looking for a place where incredible food, exceptional service, and unforgettable experiences come together, look no further. Five stars aren’t enough. ”
“ Mark and Logan are our happy hour superstars. The food was top notch. Oysters and Brussels sprouts are a must try. Not a fan of the Tool Shed on tap but they do have cans of Establishment handy. Their spirits shelf is top notch as well. Great visit before a Calgary Flames game. ”
“ Went for the chefs tasting and had the most amazing time. The food Chef Francis made was delicious and timed perfectly. The service we got was also fantastic making this an experience to remember! ”
“ We had the pleasure of sitting at the counter, where we could fully immerse ourselves in the artistry behind the menu. Chef Frances was exceptionally attentive, showcasing his skill and fostering a strong, collaborative vibe with his kitchen team. With each dish presented, they thoughtfully explained the ingredients and cooking techniques, adding depth to our experience. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The restaurant had a welcoming ambiance, making it a truly memorable evening. ”
“ Had a pleasant experience here, food was great! Nice to see multicultural staff, they were all very nice and accommodating. Food was great , drinks were delicious as well! The Ube Mont Blanc dessert is a must try , nice way to end our night ! ”
“ Very welcoming and professional team. Delicious food for everyone. Great selection of spirits. Ask for wine options; Argentinian red Achaval is delicious. ”
“ The food and ambience are very enjoyable! Service was on point for our very large group (which usually sets a server back). I can’t wait to go back again! ***** The year prior: Decor is excellent and the ambiance is amazing! The lighting is perfect - not too dim (so I can actually make out what’s on the menu without pulling out my phone flashlight). I really wish I could have enjoyed the food a bit more but unfortunately I may have had a bad oyster which caused my belly to flip flop resulting in a visit to the bathroom (which by the way is very nicely done)! It’s definitely a place to go with a small group to have a taste of everything. My oysters were not shucked/rinsed well as I did end up biting into some shell pieces. The few dishes we ordered were quite tasty. Overall it was a nice “newish” place to try out for us. I got a complimentary chocolate mousse for my birthday and it was a nice touch that they made note of it from our reservation. (The mousse was delish and just the right amount of sweet and salty. The size was perfect for one person. I don’t eat a lot.) ”
