Ten Foot Henry

Ten Foot Henry is a delightful gem in downtown Calgary, offering a **vibrant menu centered around vegetables, brunch favorites, pasta, and mostly fish-based dishes**. The flavors are beautifully balanced, making each bite a treat. One unique aspect of the dining experience is the shared plates—while the portions resemble regular starters, the focus on communal eating adds an interesting dynamic to the meal. Beyond the food, the ambiance and decor set the perfect tone for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is **warm, friendly, and refreshingly modern**, making it an ideal spot for both casual meals and special occasions. Despite the unconventional portion sizes, the **overall experience is fantastic**, with attentive service and an inviting setting that encourages good conversation and great food. If you're looking for fresh, flavorful dishes in a welcoming space, Ten Foot Henry is definitely worth visiting.

I had an absolutely amazing experience. I do think you should go with multiple people so you can share the dishes. I went alone and had the stake all to myself, which was great. The cherry cola cocktail was also delicious. I would definitely recommend this resto. The servers were kind and service was fast. I had a really great time

We booked Ten Foot Henry two weeks before arriving in Calgary and were excited to finally try it. The décor and atmosphere are lively and welcoming, and our meal started off well with the cauliflower and tuna—both dishes were fresh and very tasty. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill after that. Our server switched our dishes and cutlery, but the knife I was given was dirty. I wanted to ask him to change it, but he wasn’t checking on our table or making eye contact, so I couldn’t get it replaced. For our mains, the server never asked how we wanted our striploin steaks cooked. They arrived medium to well-done in parts, when we would have preferred rare to medium rare. The quality of the meat itself was also underwhelming. Overall, while the food had a few good moments, it wasn’t particularly impressive, and the service left a lot to be desired.

Really flavorful food with lots of vegetarian options. Cozy and romantic ambience with lots of plants around. I had their fried potatoes which was soo good - a unique spin on regular fries and I definitely recommend their cocktail rip tide. The great thing is they have half portions for most of their dishes. This is useful if you want to try multiple dishes or have a small snack.

Wonderful lunch at Ten Foot Henry! If you're in downtown Calgary, I would say this restaurant is a must visit especially if you are a foodie and want to taste some of the best that Calgary has to offer. Appetizers, food, salad, and drinks were splendid! Was happy to have a chance to try a Chicka Cherry Cola! Service was friendly and the ambiance is bustling with friendly conversation and Canadian hospitality. 5 stars and two thumbs up!

We went to Ten Foot Henry for an early dinner before the dinner rush, and it was quiet, relaxed, and lovely. Our server was incredibly helpful, offering thoughtful recommendations that made our choices easy. We started with the tomato dish and the in-house gluten-free seed bread. I’ve had this dish before with the sourdough (also delicious), but honestly, I think I prefer the seed bread. It’s flavourful, hearty, and pairs perfectly. This dish is a long-time favourite of mine and something I’ll continue ordering again and again. We also had the Caesar salad, which is made with kale. I don’t usually gravitate toward kale salads, but this one is absolutely divine. So well balanced and fresh. For our main, we shared the Arctic char with curry, and it was outstanding. The curry had just the right amount of kick. Not too spicy, just enough warmth to enhance the dish beautifully. We finished with the mini butterscotch pudding topped with salted caramel and sponge toffee. It was rich, smooth, and the perfect size to satisfy a sweet craving. To drink, we tried the house-made lemonade, a pina colada-style mocktail, and an iced latte. Each one was refreshing and so well made. I always look forward to dining at Ten Foot Henry. The dishes are simple in concept, but everything is so well thought out and executed with care. The ingredients shine, and the flavours are consistently spot on. 10/10 recommend. Just make sure to reserve ahead. It’s popular for a reason.

This was kind of a late night stop on the way home from downtown... Had a bit of a hunt to find Ten Foot Henry but soon as we entered the premises, there was a definite buzz to this restaurant. It seems that the bar is known for the interesting & unique cocktails that are being served here. My nephew and I decided on 2 of the more popular cocktails that were quite delicious... We also ordered one of the shared plates. It was a pasta dish with squid 🦑 and a nice spicy tomato based sauce. This was an excellent dish and the perfect accompaniment to our cocktails. We were served by 2 high energy bartenders that kept us on our toes. Looking out at the clientele and considering it was almost 10:30pm it was obvious that this was a true social bar that served high quality food... Bottom Line: 9.1 out of 10

Amazing dinner! The food was delicious and the service, fairly new server was very attentive. She always came by to check on us and her other tables, very friendly. The pasta is hand made. The Cacio e Pepe and the Gigli pasta were incredible! The yellow tail was good as was the Beet Salad and the Henry Salad. It's full of potted plants which made for a fabulous vibe. Very cool place!

Fairly popular restaurant in Calgary that serves small plates for a good variety. I made reservations for a Monday dinner and even then, it can be hard to reserve for dinner since it is that popular. A friend couldn't make it last minute so I was still able to snag a counter seating for 1 for Monday dinner. People around and the servers are friendly. I was looking at Yelp for recommendations and they all gave me some of their recommendations, and went with the food that was unanimously favorites, which were salted cucumber, seared scallops, tuna crudo, and coconut cake (though people also liked butterscotch pudding too, albeit much sweeter) Salted cucumber was a fairly sizable dish, Japanese influence, and the saltiness and sweetness (from walnut beet dip) balance so well in the dish. Seared scallops are served 5 pcs for full order and 3 pcs for "half" order (more like greater than 50%). I liked how they give you option for smaller portion so you don't need to commit to a large portion of fewer dishes and get to try more things Tuna crudo was okay - there is some fishiness that otherwise would be muted if the fish were better quality Coconut cake is on the sweeter side for me but otherwise a good ending to the meal.

We had a tasty meal and a good time at this spot, though there were a few areas we felt could be improved. The pesto on the pasta was way too limey, and the shrimp were a bit "fishy" tasting. My biggest gripe was I was charged an order of bread for a single additional slice, which was offered to me (i didn't ask for it). a resto of this stature should offer this complimentary, or at the very least bring a whole order of bread...

Wonderful lunch at Ten Foot Henry! If you're in downtown Calgary, I would say this restaurant is a must visit especially if you are a foodie and want to taste some of the best that Calgary has to offer. Appetizers, food, salad, and drinks were splendid! Was happy to have a chance to try a Chicka Cherry Cola! Service was friendly and the ambiance is bustling with friendly conversation and Canadian hospitality. 5 stars and two thumbs up!

I came here during a 20-hr layover from San Diego and was recommended this place from Reddit. It was a Friday night around 9:30pm and it was PACKED. I'm not used to the sun being up and restaurants being so lively at this time of day. It was loud, but I was able to be seated right away. I read the reviews and they aren't kidding, everything here is seriously good. I was solo, so I had the tuna crudo, half order of the following. Henry salad, gigli pesto pasta, butterscotch and one cream puff. I'm only here once so I figured I might as well try as much as I can. Oh, and the ol' beautiful 'okami kasu' japanese ale. My server helped me pick these out after I told him I was from out of town and only here for one night. He was super helpful and gave me his honest opinion and recommendations. Thanks Roland! I'm not normally a salad guy, but the Henry salad was TOP TIER. Also, the pesto pasta was sooo creamy, lemon-y and not too pesto-y. The butterscotch pudding and cream puff were seriously some of the best dessert Ives ever had. If I'm ever in Calgary again, I'd definitely come back.

4.5/5 stars. We made a reservation for dinner. Ambiance is nice, and service was great! Our waiter explained the menu and made recommendations. Food came out at a good pace, and our water glasses were filled frequently. My fiancée and I shared 6 dishes, and we were stuffed! 1) Tuna crudo ($19) - The tuna was so flavorful with the sesame and chimichurri sauce! The pieces were soft and tasted fresh 2) Caesar salad ($16) - This is not your average Caesar salad! It has kale, chicories, cashews, egg, and pecorino! Such a great combo of flavors! I love eggs and cashews, so I couldn't resist this salad! The kale was soft and had a great texture. This salad pleasantly surprised me! 3) Scallops ($33) - Comes with 5 pieces. They were well cooked and very tender, although they weren't hot when they came out. They were also on the salty side. The mango chipotle sauce was a little spicy for me 4) Gigli ($25) - Loved the unique pasta shape! The pistachio on top was my fave! The dish was surprisingly large. I may have liked it even better if the pasta was cooked al dente, but I still really liked it 5) Broccolini ($16) - The chili sauce added a kick to this dish. The broccolini was tender, but it was a little too salty. The mushrooms were also really salty 6) Arctic char ($35) - This was my fave dish! The skin was thin and crispy, and the fish was so tender. The Thai green curry flavor wasn't too overpowering, and it blended well with the fish Overall, we enjoyed all the dishes here! They were unique and flavorful! Some of the dishes were overly salty, but otherwise, the dishes were executed very well.

a bit tricky to find, the signage is small and easy to miss, and we waited a while to get seated. they have outdoor patio seating and the space made a great first impression. bright and airy with loads of natural light, hanging plants, and a fresh, modern vibe. that said, it's definitely on the louder side and very busy, more high energy power lunch spot, where multimillion dollar deals are made than a quiet café catch up. we showed up a little before 1:00 pm on a tuesday hoping for brunch, only to learn it's offered on weekends only. still, the regular menu had enough to keep us curious. we shared the henry salad, which was a hit, baby greens, crispy shiitake, edamame, and miso dressing. light, flavourful, and beautifully textured with a little crunch in every bite. the gigli pasta with kale pesto, pistachio, and grana padano was simple but nicely done. no protein, just pasta, but it was well cooked and the pesto leaned more lemony than garlic, which made it feel bright and clean. we also ordered the sourdough toast with whipped feta, tomatoes, and herbs, tangy, creamy, and very satisfying. we ended up scooping some of the tomato and whipped feta and mixed it in with the pasta, and it turned out really well. overall, a cool and buzzy spot with fresh, thoughtfully prepared food. will have to come back to try their brunch on weekends.

The food is GREAT! We ordered the fried potatoes, which were amazing with a delicious creamy herb and jalapeño goddess. We also had the feta and tomato spread with dill. Smear some of this on the sourdough toast and wow! I believe it had a touch of honey in it as well. The charred cabbage is a must have. A little briny and perfectly charred, it is fresh and delicious. Served with walnut vinaigrette. Finally, we enjoyed the cacio e pepe spaghetti. A fantastic combination of the spice and creaminess you expect from the dish. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sounds of the city while sipping on local brews, wine, and cocktails. Our server was attentive and helpful and had a great sense of humor. I'll definitely return.

I kept seeing Ten Foot Henry recommended - it was super cute! And the service was super nice. The scallops were my favorite dish - the pesto sauce made it so refreshing, and the scallops tasted so fresh! The cauliflower had a nice tahini sauce which was so delicious. The pasta hit the spot, with the red sauce and sausage bits!

The restaurant was busy at lunch, glad we were able to get a spot at the bar. Taylor, our bartender and server, was very friendly and chatted with us about the menu, Calgary, and more! What a nice person. Our food selections were just the right amount to share; each dish was presented as they became ready.

We were staying in Calgary for one night on our way back to NY from Banff. I had gotten a few recommendations from someone who was local, and then discovered that this place was literally on the same block as our hotel, so it seems like a sign! We LOVED this place. Everything we ordered was delicious (I'm writing this review, like, 8 months later, so I'll admit I don't remember the specific dishes). This will sound like I'm a NY snob, but this was the type of restaurant that would do really well in NYC--we wished it was in our neighborhood, we'd be there all the time!

Absolutely excellent. The tomato confit starter was super flavorful, a delicious yogurty cheese with great whipped texture, fresh chewy bread with a balanced amount of crunch. The pistachio pasta was interestingly my least favorite, but not without merit. It is flavorful, the olive oil and pesto and pistachio chips come across strongly, but it did not possess the same umami as the preceding dish. The cauliflower knocked it out of the park, perfectly cooked with really great flavor. And the butterscotch pudding was a masterclass, like flan in a jar with caramel and other chunks. My server was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the ambience was very clean, hip, and relaxing. Plants dangling from the ceiling. Not too hectic. It's a wonderful restaurant with a menu I'd love to dive into again.

Everything about this place was fabulous- from the service, the food, the environment! We ordered the gigli pasta, mushrooms, and grilled asparagus and each dish was absolutely delectable! The pasta had a perfect lemon zest and the pesto was not rich / heavy. I liked the dash of pistachio. As for the mushrooms and asparagus, you could taste each flavor they incorporated. Just writing this review is making my mouth water. The entire indoor and outdoor patio is beautifully decorated with plants and kept clean. Server was very attentive and every time they brought out the dishes, they would give a brief rundown of what was incorporated in the dish.

I sat at the bar at this quaint restaurant and was immediately welcome by an awesome hostess, who took my coat, and this sweet smiling waitress at the bar named Kelsey. So friendly and warm. The food was pretty good too. I got the 4 egg and goat cheese omelete and the candied bacon. The bacon was a nice touch and added a nice crunch. The omelete was nice and not greasy or super filling. There was only a small portion of goat cheese but you could taste it. Adding a touch of hot sauce helped bring out the dish though. Overall, it was a happening place. I would recommend this place.

last dinner we had in calgary and it did not disappoint!! the tuna crudo was amazing i am a fan of the oil and sesame seeds with the chimichurri sauce YOMMY and the kale pesto pasta was less pesto flavors but more lemon zesty it's unique and nice. i didn't take a photo of our drinks but i got this cherry cola cocktail and my boyfriend got this light beer it was super tasty and i usually don't even like beer :D

Excellent taste of food but the portions were small for some items. Lots of choices and I found myself tend to spend more than what I had planned. Overall a great place to eat alone and with a group, then you could taste more dishes!

My first review. I'm from the Bay Area, and this fuckin hit. 5/5 I had: -The caesar -gigli -red prawns great service, chefs seemed locked

If you're a foodie, then look no further! The experience from service to food was excellent. We made reservations for a Thursday night and sat at the Chef's counter, so we can see all the chefs in action. Note it's warm over here by the stoves, so don't dress too warm. It was very packed on a weekday and the waiters were attentive and friendly without rushing us to get out. We ordered cocktails, the grilled asparagus with finely diced crispy potatoes, gigli kale pesto pasta with pistachio, and hamachi with lotus chip. Presentation of the food made the food look even more delicious. The standout for us was the pasta. The flavors were well balanced. With these 3 items, we were full. Very happy belly :)

As usual the offerings at 10 ft Henry are both extensive and delicious. Many vegan, vegetarian and seafood options. The preparation, presentation and flavors are truly amazing. We ordered a variety of vegetarian dishes (beets, broccolini, carrots). And the top crowd pleaser was the salmon! For desert we shared the butterscotch pudding, chocolate tort and the coconut cake. The overall winner was the toffee topped butterscotch pudding (house specialty). Had a few nice cocktails like the naughty eggnog and the unusual suspects. Very nice opposites. The interior tends to get a bit loud, but overall ambiance is clean and modern. Service is always exceptional. Anytime we can stop in on our Calgary ventures we make a point of stopping here for a meal. Enjoy!

In my top five favourite restaurants in Calgary. I recently tried the brunch and wow run do not walk to the sourdough pancake. The gigli is one of the best pastas I've ever eaten and yes I have been to Italy. The salmon and chicken are great entrees. And definitely do not mis ordering any of the vegetables; they're all divine! The room can be squishy but as long as you are prepared for that intimate environment it is a beautiful restaurant. The service is consistent and the staff are all extremely knowledgeable on the menu and recommendations. My one criticism is that they have a very limited brunch drink menu.

I cannot express how amazing the service is here. It is just incredible how helpful and attentive everyone is. I almost ordered too much and was kindly advised to drop a dish (but reassured that if it was needed, that the dish could be placed). I tried their potatoes, tuna, and scallops. Everything was good, but I kinda wished I got the cabbage. I was seated at the kitchen and the cabbage dish looked incredible. My favorite aspect of the restaurant is the ability to order many of the dishes at a smaller portion. This alone is why I'm coming back when I'm in Calgary.

Was quite busy even around 2pm, although it was a Saturday! Still received prompt and attentive service for 2. Server made excellent recommendations and everyone was sure to keep our water topped up even though we had a bottle at our table! Food was all delicious we had the pesto pasta, a shrimp dish, and the charred cabbage. Everything was executed perfectly although we really loved the pesto pasta - lovely lemon notes and the charred cabbage which paired really well with the vinaigrette! Meal was on the pricier side of what we normally spend for 2 but it was worth it! They also provided a cute holiday postcard!

Wow is all I can say!! From the innovation to the quality of the ingredients and the desert. The desert ......... Oh my god. Off the charts. Coconut heaven!! This place is wonderful!! Thank you!!

Best meal I've had in a while. Excellent service by Paul (bartender, I ate at bar) and Evelyn gave an exceptional presentation as food was delivered.

Easily my favorite meal of our Banff/Jasper/Calgary trip! If you can only make it to one restaurant in the city, Ten Foot Henry is hands down the #1 must try spot. We made sure to snatch up reservations for this downtown gem (pro-tip: OpenTable seats are available up to a month in advance) because of how crazy popular it is with locals and tourists alike. First, a brief history tidbit: Henry actually originated as an American comic strip character from 1932 who came to fame decades later as a beloved figure in Calgary's art scene after a local theater director commissioned a ten foot plywood figure of his likeness, which now serves as the cheeky mascot for this highly acclaimed eatery :^) All of the dishes are served family-style, perfect for sharing (though probably best for parties of 2 and smaller groups, order multiples if your party is on the larger side). Read on for how they artfully blend different flavor profiles to create exquisite dishes that will have your taste buds rejoicing: + Tomatoes (5/5): such an unassuming name but is actually the creme de la creme of their vegetable appetizers - an absolute must try!! tomatoes were so impressively sweet like they were just freshly harvested from a backyard and paired beautifully with the oh-so-creamy whipped feta topped with herbs for a flavor explosion atop the chewy sourdough + Grilled broccolini (5/5): what is it about the calgary region and how well they cook broccolini? i've never had the desire to try this vegetable in my life but had it 3-4 times during my trip and it's delicious each time. their spin on it here was tuna tonnnato with sweet-and-sour agrodolce and citrusy lemon to pair with the smokiness of the broccolini -- such a skillfully crafted flavor combination + Gigli (4.5/5): kale pesto with pistachio and grana padano cheese - salty lemony and so perfectly seasoned, ideally portioned for 2. appropriately light tasting so that you're satiated but still have enough room for all the other dishes. side note, can we start using pistachios as a topping on all pasta dishes??? + Spring salmon (5/5): i find that i'm especially picky with salmon and how it's professionally cooked at restaurants because of how it's relatively easy to make at home, but no complaints here- beautifully cooked with crispy skin and a tender, moist interior served in a delightful grape gastrique topped with crispy potatoes, mmm + Butterscotch toffee pudding (4.5/5): layer of salted caramel on top of house made sponge toffee in a cute little mason jar - amazing! available in mini size upon request if you're like me and just want a tiny bite of something sweet to finish off an already filling meal~ Ugh such an incredibly satisfying meal for our first night in Calgary that I'm still thinking about months later. As an avid postcard collector, I was delighted to see that they include an adorable cartoon postcard with the bill to commemorate your meal. Ten Foot Henry is such an appropriately hyped Calgary gem that I would re-visit without a second thought if I ever find myself back in the city.

located in downtown calgary, this spot is a gem. we didn't have reservations (which you should by the way), we were told we would have to wait a bit. luckily a spot on the patio opened up and we were seated fairly quickly. while the dishes here are meant to be shared, don't for a second think that they're small portions. they're fairly large and they give pretty decent value for your money. we opted to go for the roast chicken with tzatziki sauce, broccolini, and cauliflower. all three dishes were wonderfully cooked and incredibly tasty. the cauliflower seemed to be a fan favorite seeing that every table around me ordered it and i can definitely see why. but don't sleep on the broccolini! the chef did a great play on different flavors on this dish.

I forgot to take a picture, but recommend the pasta. It reminded me of the pasta I had in Italy; it was perfectly el dente. The Beets were really good, as was as the cucumber. My favourite dish was the tomato spread, and highly recommend it. The atmosphere was beautiful, and service was good.

Really delicious spot! Got a table for four inside and service was prompt. Got the bottle of rose to share - it was nice, sweet and refreshing. As for food, we shared the beets, cucumber and tomato dishes. The flavors were on point for all of them. The tomato with whipped feta on toast was a crowd favorite. The cucumber had good crunch and sesame oil drizzle that was fantastic. Beets were equally awesome with a great sauce. We also tried the pasta and loved the tomato and peppery kick.

It's almost December and this restaurant is easily one of the top 3 best restaurants I have been to this year. I cannot recommend this enough, the restaurant is truly a "must try" for anyone in Calgary, especially the lemon pesto pasta! We had a late lunch around 2:30pm on a Thursday, and were able to get a table without any wait. The restaurant was cute, well-lit, and pretty quiet. We told our waitress, Erin, that it was our first time there, and she was so helpful with recommendations, for both drinks and dishes. The tuna was really good, the cauliflower was great, but wow the pesto pasta was mind-blowing with real lemon zest!! I was also particularly impressed with the glass of Leitz 'eins zwei dry' pinot noir rosé (from Rheingau, Germany) that I drank. I'll be recommending this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal in Calgary!

We have one night in Calgary, and I was lucky enough to a) go to lunch at a not busy time and b)have two friends to go with me so that we could share some things. They advertise their plates as shareable, and they are, and you definitely want to so that you can try more things!!! We let the waitress make some suggestions and we had the tomatoes with whipped feta, charred cabbage and pesto pasta. All three were absolutely terrific, with either the tomatoes or the cabbage as the star. I can't decide. The tomatoes are roasted and ooze into the whipped feta as you give it a good stir, and then slather it on yummy bread. The charred cabbage has a slightly sweet note, perhaps in the vinaigrette? The tahini sauce was just unbelievably fabulous... In fact, it was so good that I used my pesto pasta to scrape up all the leftover bits. Normally I'm a meat eater but all the veggies looked so good, and then we heard they had started off solely veggies.... We had to do it. I wish we were hungry enough for dessert because everything was just fantastic as promised by all these great reviews. Try it and bring friends if you can- so delish! I wish it were in my neighborhood!

We enjoyed visiting the place with our family during the lunch rush in the area. The outside seems very quiet as compared to the inside. A nice variety of light and tasty food. It's a nice combination of flavors that everyone will enjoy. If we ever stop in this area, we will visit this place area. it has a great atmosphere and decor. You will need to give it a try. Check out the menu that I dropped for your reference.

The food was delicious. We were seated in the chef's bar seating. Therefore, we were able to watch the team cook our food. We ordered the spaghetti, cauliflower, hamachi and 2 desserts. The only miss was the 2 desserts. We were not fan of either of them. (Cheesecake puffs and chocolate tort) In-fact my husband got sick afterwards but I think it's because the chocolate tort had dairy in their ingredients. The service was great and attentive. This is a very popular restaurant. Therefore, you should definitely make a reservation way in advance so you get a table. Otherwise you might get stuck at the bar which isn't too bad.

Probably some of the best Italian food I've ever had. The food was amazing and the portion sizes are good and you honestly can't beat the price might be a little high for America, but I think in Canada, it falls just in line with high end establishments.

The rave reviews are true. Outstanding food and service. Very chill vibe. Amazing flavors and healthy.

Wow...this place is incredible....it blew away all of my expectations. The charred cabbage was out of this world, the tripolini was homemade-wonderulness, the chicken was decent (the pineapple accent was killer), and the butterscotch was the best I've ever had. My server was extremely kind and helpful when giving me recommendations and always made sure my water was full. And the ambiance (as you can tell from my POV pic) was immaculate. This place is doing everything right! 10/10, great job guys!

This is probably the best restaurant we've been to in Calgary. Reservations are a must, however. We were immediately greeted by the excellent host with a Happy Birthday wish and seated at a prime table. Peter then arrived to offer a choice of both sparkling or flat water, which was brought straight away. As this was our first visit, he took the time to explain the menu and various options, including the wines. We chose the grilled asparagus, the scallops, and the gigli. Megan then took over, and she kept our water glasses full and brought our dishes, which came promptly. The food was all amazing, especially the gigli, which was so good I would have liked to like the plate! Because the dishes weren't overwhelming, we had room for dessert and ordered the highly recommended butterscotch pudding. Omg, we are not typically dessert people, but this was just incredible. Unfortunately, the food was so delicious, I forgot to take pictures. Highly recommend!

All the dishes we tried were unique and excellent - tomato, cauliflower, pasta and scallops (to die for). The service was as good as the food. We asked for recommendations and they were spot on. Lastly, the ambience of the place is casual and vibrant. Bottom line, if you in Calgary, don't miss this place!!!

Well, let me tell you, I've stumbled upon a gem of a place, and I'd be remiss not to shout about it! From the moment I stepped through the door, it was clear this wasn't your average spot Ten foot Henry does it. The staff? Absolute legends--polite as you like and always ready with a smile. And the food? was great I had roast chicken, and it was cooked to perfection--crispy skin, tender inside, and seasoned like someone really cared. The whole experience was awesome, If you're after top-notch nosh and service that's a cut above, you simply must give this place a go. Cheers to the team for making it such a great experience!

I made reservations for myself and expected to sit at the bar,but the hostess sat me outside and it was a beautiful night. Maggie was a great server. You have to get the tomatoes and cheese. The beets were also great and the Kale Pasta has a nice lemon hint to it. Ironically I was in the mood for steak and yet this veggie meal was amazing and satiating.

Food, drinks, and service was AMAZING! The gigli pasta (still searching for a copy cat recipe since I live in the US and can't just stop by) and the salmon was chef's kiss! TFH was so delicious I went back a month later when I was in the area for business. Don't forget to MAKE A RESERVATION! It's worth it!

Superb food, and service A real gem just blocks from our hotel. Not easy to spot, just go by the address. Y'all will LOVE IT Get in here!

We made a last minute decision to go to Ten Foot Henry on our last night in Calgary, and we were lucky enough to get seats at the chef's counter. We ordered: tagliatelle - with kale pesto, pistachio, grana padano steak - with truffle dijon, gai choy fried potatoes - with herbs, jalapeño, green goddess butterscotch pudding - with salted caramel and sponge toffee The pesto pasta was delicious, probably one of the best pastas I've ever had. The steak was also great, and the potatoes were delicious. I wasn't a fan of the crunchy bits on the pudding, but the rest was good. Not only was the food amazing, but it was also super interesting watching the inner workings of the kitchen while eating. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in Calgary again!

Great service and wonderful food. A popular restaurant. Luckily the patio was first come first serve. We got there at 4:30 and was seated. Best spaghetti cacio de peppe we ever had. I'm super sensitive to salt and requested for less salt. The spaghetti came out perfect. The cauliflower was delicious and the Thai roast chicken was tender. An interesting combination of dark chocolate and avocado torte!

This was our first restaurant that we tried when we touched down in Calgary and we were not disappointed! As we entered, the restaurant was quite obviously packed, especially compared to neighboring restaurants, so we had an immediate feeling that it was a community favorite. During our stay, we were situated near the open chef viewing area which was really cool and were kindly taken care of by Lucas, who was one of the sweetest, most welcoming, and charming servers we've ever had. Super thorough, knowledgeable, and patiently/happily willing to share all the recommendations! The spot is cute too with a bunch of plants everywhere. For starters, we got the caesar salad, tomatoes, tuna crudo, and red prawns, and for the main pasta entree, we got the linguine with the puttanesca sauce. Everything was extremely fresh and had a nice farm-to-table feel. Our favorite was the tomatoes though, which has apparently lasted on the menu for the longest time (fun fact!). For drinks, I got the tough love and the cucumber collins cocktails, and my favorite between the two was the tough love. The tough love was recommended by two different employees, so that one looks to be a crowd favorite. My boyfriend also ended up trying both a house red and white wine, which he really enjoyed. Overall, this was a great start to our Banff adventure and I'm not sure if it's the Canadian food scene, but the food seems a lot fresher here than back home in California. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Totally a go to place whenever I'm in Calgary! So recommend to all who visit As usual an outstanding experience ! The menu isn't huge but it is brilliant !

We would rate it as a 4.8 and the best restaurant we visited in a week in Canada. Our waitress/bartender was phenomenal and the best service we had our whole trip. The ambience inside is great as well. Tomatoes - 5/5 incredibly good Cauliflower - 5/5 would order again Broccolini - 5/5 the sauce was incredibly Salmon - 3/5 I would skip next time. A bit fishy and the only miss of the night Hamachi - 5/5 would re order in a heart beat Gigli - 5/5 order it Drinks - great all around Again we ordered too much food and spent a lot. I think for two people it would be enough without ordering the salmon. As everyone says, just go here if you have time for one restaurant in Calgary.

Service and ambience were impeccable. Love the veggie forward concept. A couple of comments though: - The tuna and hamachi may have been better slightly more thin (although my husband disagrees w this opinion.. he wants more bang for the buck). We thought the hamachi was perfectly seasoned and paired with the lotus chip was ingenious. - The cauliflower was a bit overdone. Seemed it was steamed or boiled first before the charring - very soft though tasty. - Broccolini, perfection. Don't change a thing. - Thai chicken - mm, not the best. It was white meat chicken w seasoning not very well entrenched in it. Without the papaya salad, it would be tasteless. Still tender though despite ... white meat chicken. - Butterscotch pudding, also perfection.

Parking is tough and we ended up in a parking lot paying $6 for the evening. Started with a nice PD day cocktail. $16, very expensive of the size but was nice. Friend got the Gill horse. Loved that a bottle of water is always on the table and staff were spot on about refilling it during the evening. Waitress told us this is family style dining and dishes go in the middle of the table and everyone samples everything. We tried: Charred Cabbage: 10/10 loved it, brother doesn't really like cabbage so not really to his liking. Char was perfect. Cabbage was well cooked - not too chewy. Sauce on the bottom was so tasty. Grilled Broccolini: 9/10. Broccolini was perfectly cooked, could have given more. Sauce was good but not as good as the cabbage sauce. Hamachi: 8/10 Looked very pretty, 5 portions, 4 people was awkward. tastes like sashimi to me. Red Prawns: 8/10 Portion looked good, sauce was quite tangy/sour. Not bad but not the best food I have ever eaten. Spaghetti: 10/10, super rich and creamy and good portion. Overall, quite pricey but I was satisfied with my meal for the price.

We came here for brunch with a reservation cause we read it gets very busy. For their brunch menu, they have a handful of breakfast items but they also have their regular menu as well. We shared the: -tomatoes, herbs, whipped feta, sidewalk sourdough toast -hamachi tiradito, aji amarillo, cilantro, lotus chip These were actually our 2 favorite items. The tomatoes and whipped feta was SO good. I smothered that all over the sourdough toast and it was so fresh and delicious. Tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The hamachi was also fresh and the lotus chip gave just that right amount of texture. Off the brunch section we got the ham & tomato toast, fried eggs, hollandaise. This was our least favorite item just cause it didn't really stand out to us. It was eggs and ham on toast. It wasn't a bad dish, but in comparison to the other 2 it was average. For dessert, we got the butterscotch pudding. Pudding was good, but there was too much of the toffee on it for my liking. We ended up picking some toffee off cause it was way too sweet. Overall, service was excellent. I would recommend getting items off their regular menu just for more variety, and not their brunch items.

First time here and the food was delicious and really well prepared. I had the roasted chicken and the potatoes, both of which I enjoyed every bite. I was also impressed with the servers, they were very kind and attentive. I highly recommend this place!
