Broken Plate - Calgary Canada

Tried this restaurant for the first time last week. Overall very good but a bit pricey. Their calamari is the best I've ever had and I would highly recommend their lamb souvlaki plate. You can tell they have really maximized their space and the modern Greek interior adds a nice touch. My only note on service/food is that when my lamb first came out it was very rare but, our server took it back to cook it more the second I asked : Overall I will probably return but not too often as it is a bit expensive.

Although the food was good, I was very disappointed that the restaurant would not accept my gift card which was completely valid! I let our server know before ordering our meals that I had a gift card which would be used for the bill. This was accepted and we went ahead and ordered. This was a celebratory birthday lunch and the end of the experience unfortunately changed the atmosphere for the worse. The manager kept saying over and over she completely understood my feelings but they would not honour a valid gift card because of technical issues. There wasn 't anything she was willing to do to compensate for the misunderstanding and there was no signage in the restaurant warning that gift cards would not be accepted. My friends who were expecting this to be my treat had to bring out their wallets to pay. We were all expected to tip generously as well.

If there was more than 5 stars, this place deserves it. The interior was aesthetically beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. The lamb souvlaki was cooked to perfection, the lobster ravioli one of the freshest pastas I have ever tasted, and the saganaki... *chefs kiss*. Broken Plate needs to open a franchise in YYZ!

We had an excellent dinner last evening! The souvlaki was amazing! Tender chicken, beautifully seasoned and perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. The lemon potatoes were wonderful! I had failed to mention that it was my partner's birthday when we first sat down, and AFTER we paid our bill I inadvertently mentioned it. The waiter immediately jumped on it and insisted we stay and he brought out a delicious piece of cheesecake with a sparkler in it!! Even though we were stuffed, we managed to devour it. Yum!!! That was so very thoughtful and thank you to the waiter!! You do this business proud! We will definitely be back!

Great food and service was very good for four of us. Didn't like using our credit card to reserve
