Metropolitan Grill on 8th Ave has closed. It used to be a happening spot but in recent years not so much. When Local next door was packed, you would see only a handful of customers in MG.

Never liked that place, thought it was overpriced and the staff were rude.

Bear & Kilt appears to be opening a new location on 17th ave in the old Morgans space
I noticed that too. I guess it must have been commonplace.

Popped in at lunch, their plan is to have 4 Calgary and 1 Edmonton location within a few years. The Morgan's space is also a bit of a backstop if the Stephen Ave Place development happens and they are forced to leave their current location.
Yelp's yearly reviews are out. Calgary did quite well, with 7 restaurants making the top 100, 12 for the Calgary area (Calgary/Airdrie/Banff/Canmore). As always these lists are somewhat subjective, but it's nice to see a few local places in the list. As usual Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver dominate the list, but Calgary did well compared to its contemporaries.

That was my guess judging from where the pin was. That’s where we go for sushi in town here. Close to home. Unfortunately the business is for sale so not sure how much longer they will be there as Mio

Went to Calcutta Cricket Club the other day and found it to be so-so. The atmosphere was good, much more vibrant than the usual Indian restaurant, but the prices were high and the food was average.
If you’re looking to grab some Indian solely for the food, try just about anywhere else.

Not Calgary specific, but could involve Calgary. Fogo de Chao is going to open 11 locations across Canada. I would have to think Calgary would be on the list.

We already have three Brazilian barbeque places, but I wouldn’t complain if they added a Fogo de Chao here.

Serengeti Shack – East African Restaurant In Airdrie
serengetishack.ca
New restaurant out here in Airdrie, would like to give it a try. The location used to be a sushi place that was closed down for cockroaches so hopefully it’s cleaned up! Lol
Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn like Krispy Kreme (which I seem to be alone in liking), and Chick Fil A (ditto
I wonder what this will spell for Burgers Priest, whose menu seems to be a bit of a clone of Shake Shack.

Same with Clive Burger, but I bet they are boosted by high school lunch crowds.

Count me as a Shake Shack fan. Sorry Peters. Sorry CBs. Sorry Clive.
