Love this place! Beef carpacio and butternut squash raviolli with prawns are the best!

The food and service are consistently good, but much much busier in the summer! Almost have to plan ahead as opposed to dropping in!

Franks – it’s funny you say that, because my sister just told me yesterday she’s sick of reading about DC. To each their own, I guess, and thanks! I actually really enjoy posting about my travels – it’s for my personal remembrace purposes more than anything else!

Jon – I had the chance to sample the sablefish at the opening, and it was fantastic! I’ve also had the butternut squash ravioli, both at their Bentall 5 location and at the opening – and it’s also a fave.

I’d highly recommend the sablefish. The butternut squash ravioli is very good too. Covered in butter, sage and crisp cookie. Tasty tasty.

Hey Sharon, I really enjoy your writeups of everything. I was just wondering whether you had any more stories about DC coming up? Your travel articles are my favourite, and the detail you go into helps put us all in the scene. I hope you keep it up!

I have yet to visit this place in Calgary.

The Key Lime pie is my main motivator to check them out.

Thanks Jim! They unfortunately only take lunch reservations; We were there on Canada Day, and while the dining room was packed at quarter to 6, there was still space in the lounge. I’m sure it would be somewhat less busy on a random Monday night – I’d hope that a 5:30 arrival would get you a seat in the dining room?

My wife and I were thinking of going to Cactus Club for dinner on a Monday in the near future. Any recommendation on how early we should arrive? Thanks for your continuing great coverage of the Edmonton food scene.
