Raw Bar - bar - Calgary, AB

Expensive and small portions. While the cocktails were unique we found the small plates lacking and expensive for what we received. The rare beef and radish was incredible but for 2 people you only get 2 bites. It had a balanced dressing and freshness from the herbs that made it our favorite of the evening. The tempura salad roll on the other hand was disappointing as it was small and thin. Everything was lacking and the sauce wasn't enough to save the dish. There maybe a few exceptions but for the most part all the small plates were okay but nothing stood out.

They were really popular for their happy hour! Big crowd. Food was excellent, drinks are great, and staff was even better! (Pictures, dessert)

Good food but menu was a bit slim. It could use a few more items to choose from.

I would recommend Raw Bar to anyone, even travelling from far across the city. The small plates were gorgeous - I had the steam buns and the kale salad, and visited during happy hour, when a selection of cocktails were only $5 each. Staff were attentive and friendly, and I finished my drinks merrily chatting at the bar after finishing my meal. The food and service were both outstanding, and Raw Bar was the culinary highlight of my visit to Calgary.

The atmosphere and the food were top notch. We really enjoy the ambient surroundings. Lots of good varieties under small plates. They do have happy hours 1/2 prices small plates. Very decent price. The flavor was top-notch and on point. Our top small plates to try is the chicken wings and the tofu dish very delicious and also try the Mika rolls. Where it fell short for us is the service were mix and match. Some of our dishes came out different times and we waited for long time for certain dishes almost 45 mins and 20 mins for our dessert. I believe the kitchen were falling behind , But our server did not do to satisfy our disappointment for waiting for our dishes. For a upper end restaurant I expected better service. I had much better service at Earls than at raw bar. I may come back again to give it another shot but it was very disappointing service wise what the food is excellent
