"The Wilde Rooftop is an upscale bar at the top of The Dorian Hotel downtown. The cocktail menu is imaginative and it's hard to choose which drink to try (I tried A Trip to Banff, and it was excellent). There are beer, wine and spirit choices too. Seating is comfortable and the vibe is relaxing. Service is friendly and attentive. Great spot for an after dinner, after work or night out drink with friends drink." - Eddy L.
"Wow. This place rocks. Literally swept off our feet with the fabulous dinner feast st The Wilde last night. Started off with a surprise amuse bouche of Alberta's finest beef ala tartare which EVERYBODY loved hands down. Next, a succession of gustatory deliciousness - a delicate scallop-spring peas bowl and a refreshing elk tartare on a crispy lavash cracker (-!: it was never-ending). Of course, I had to get a sevond glass of my BFF drink for the night - The Bosie (apparently named for Oscar Wilde's girlfriend). The entrees were drop dead top caliber plates of perfection which pictures can only try and capture - I had the beef entree with potatoes, others the fall-off the bone bison cooked 12-14 hours ahead, and the Haida Gwaii halibut. Best of all, are the deaserts which rightfullly deserve its own post - ah! what a yummy duo of sweet but not too sweet plates - a fruit plate wrapped ina cloud almond cream and white chocolate, and a  wild lavender panna cotta with generous white chocolate sprinkles. You just have to taste it to believe it, but YES IT WAS AWESOMENESS. As a card carrying member of Foodies Anonymous, this restaurant gets top marks!!! I am Sooo Glad We Ate Here!" - Marsha D.
"Our group of friends loved our dining experience!  We enjoyed the halibut, bison, beef and vegetarian entrees.  My entree, the Haida Gwaii halibut, was absolutely delicious.  The halibut was perfectly prepared, the presentation was marvelous and mix of flavors was spectacular.  The entire staff were extremely friendly, particularly Mita and Elaine who made us feel like family.  We greatly enjoyed the sweeping view of Calgary.  Our dessert options, the Modern and the Classic, were beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by the table.   A surprise visit from the chef made the evening!  I'm from San Francisco and we're pretty blessed with our food choices, but this meal absolutely would shine there as well.  Definitely try out this new gem!" - Steve C.
