Mission

From Sushi to Italian, 4th Street is home to several of Calgary’s favorite restaurants. Adjacent to 17th Ave, this area continues the trend of hip eateries, fun boutiques and hours of people watching. With the arrival of several new condo developments, 4th street has become a one-stop shopping district. Create a memorable meal with ingredients from an authentic Italian market while picking up flowers and stopping for a relaxing coffee. The Lilac Festival is an annual spring event on 4th street. This street festival brings out thousands of Calgarians to enjoy food, shopping, entertainment and the beer gardens under what is most often a sunny sky.

While we found that the tables were not spaced apart very well... a little too intimate for our liking, the general atmosphere was groovy. Food was delicious (the pork belly was sooooo fantastic, I may be going back for that alone.) Enormous wine list, with 2 oz "taste" pours available-this is by far the greatest idea in the universe- tasting 10 wines wouldn't be out of the question in an evening. Karen, the sommelier, is knowledgable and personable, and the serving staff seem to enjoy where they are working, so not too hard to enjoy yourself here!

Hadn't been in a couple of years to this pub as it used to be the most boring Pub in Calgary. They have new owners now, a couple of years I guess, and it it has really livened up!!

We went on a Wednesday night for their 1 cent Ribs, we even called ahead because we didn't believe it but were assured the only catch was you had to order at least a pop with every 20 ribs.

The place had great energy and the Ribs were amazing, regardless of price. We had Salt and Pepper and Honey Garlic and they were big and juicy and 10 was actually enough.

The service was top notch and they had lots of TVs for sports ect, something it never used to have.

Went for a lunch a couple of time since and the food again was excellent, the Wild Boar Burger is as good as a burger as you'll find anywhere

It's been around Mission for years, and is always great. Excellent basic sushi, friendly staff, reasonable prices. I try lots of different sushi places in town, but never go too long without going back to Hana

We had a group of eight with us and chose this venue to celebrate a friend's birthday. It took an hour and a half to receive our meal. The meals themselves were average, overcooked, and did not meet expectations for what we felt french fine dining should have felt like. Plates were shoved in front of us and hastily removed the instant they saw an empty plate. The waiters were rude, gave very resentful looks at us, and gave no courtesy in saying "excuse me" or even "thank you", especially when grabbing (literally) our credit cards out of our hands. The Tables were set up in awkward fashion making it difficult for the waiter to move between tables. In fact, one of the waiters tripped over one of the girl's purses which was laid next to her seat, said "F*** You!" to the birthday girl, picked up the purse and threw it across the restaurant without a care for an apology. Later on we found out that waiter was the owner/manager of the restaurant. All in all, I have never regretted going to eat out as much as this night. I have never seen such disrespect for customer service. Please heed this message! For the traumatic experience that that poor birthday girl experienced, please don't go to this restaurant!

I had the Caramel Prawns to start and the Lobster Risotto as a main. The Risotto was a little steep on price ($34) but I must admit that both dishes were absolutely fantastic. Went down on a Thursday and stumbled on some live jazz, which made for an excellent atmosphere!

the lunch portions were incredibly small. They sat us alone upstairs and service seemed to take extra long given the waiter had to scale the steps every time we needed a drink refill.

I love to hang out here. This place has great staff, good food and fantastic coffee. The owner Paul obviously loves what he does and his customers. Worthy of your $. Great place to sit and watch people on the patio.

Towa Sushi is one of my favorite places to get sushi. It is very unique with their creative rolls and just the sheer size of them. This place does not skimp on the fish. Each piece of sushi is definitely a two-biter, so you're bound to make a mess. But don't worry, they actually provide you with a wet-nap! I think that Towa has the best spicy sauce in the city. I usually order extra and have asked if they sell it, it is that good. Towa is great for when you really want to try something different, for example, one roll is wrapped in a thin egg-sheet and another has jalapeno tempura in it. The space is attractive with funky lighting fixtures and the service is good.
