| "Hopefully they can change faster than a blink" |

August 2008 - Pros;
-great service
-nice room
-good coffee (I think it is Lilly)
-clean
Cons:
-bad, bad food
-bland food
(the review dots on the left and the overall review, I wanted to keep it low, because food is everything.)
I went here on a whim as the restaurnat next door had oven problems. Looked nice, and I just wanted to grab a quick bite. As is typical in Calgary, it was mild out and the patio was packed. Inside the dining room was dead. it was 12pm on a weekday. In retrospect it should have been a warning.
I decided to have the pasta, it was penne with chorizo sausage, and a rose sauce with a bit of a kick as I recall the waitress saying. Ok, so pretty safe and pedestrian choice, but at the second cheapest main- $17.50, I didn't feel like spending $26-29 on a main course for lunch at an unknown place.
The dish came with no presentation, no care and no life. Just a plate of pasta, with some brown sauce. Nothing here was fresh looking just some simple grated Parmesan cheese. Ok, I can take this, the chief wants to focus on the flavors.
The meat milkshake like consistency was disgusting, and I started to fish around the plate looking for the sausage, and started to realize that the sausage was ground up to a sand like consistency, and there was no kick and no flavor.
However the service was very good.

| "amazing food + great atmosphere = Blink" |

August 2007 - I can't say enough good things about Blink. The food is amazing, my favourite being the macroni and cheese with wild boar bacon and the atmosphere is cozy, sophisticated and sexy. The staff are all quite friendly, happy to joke around and were patient in waiting for my Dad to make a selection off the wine list (let's just say it takes him a while). At our office we've also ordered pick up from them and the take out containers make it easy to transport and keeps the food tasting fresh and of restaurant quality

April 2007 - I have just been to BlinK Restaurant & supper club on Stephen Avenue. had been there a few times for lunch but decided to try it out for the "supper Club" aspect. The room at night was very sexy, great crowd & atmospher, good DJ. They have a new menu & chef since the first time I went -definetely a must try.
