I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of some fantastic bars and cafes, and Wilder is easily one of the standouts.
Their happy hour burger is honestly one of the most flavorful burgers you can have in town. Here is how it breaks down:
The Build: Layered with caramelized onion, white cheddar, remoulade, and arugula.
The Details: Served with crisp garlic dill pickles on a perfectly toasted pub bun.
The Deal: It runs from 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM and again from 8:30 PM – close, and it’s only $10.
In this economy, finding a burger of this quality for ten bucks is unbelievable. The kitchen absolutely nailed the execution.

I’m lucky enough to live within a 15-minute walk of Estes, the Italian-American restaurant and wine bar in the Alberta food district. It’s a cozy, high-end hidden gem, and the kitchen absolutely delivers on the quality.
I recently tried their mushroom-stuffed pork medallions, and they are pure culinary art. Here is how the dish breaks down:
The Involtini: Pork medallions stuffed with a savory mushroom filling and wrapped in perfectly crispy pancetta.
The Base: Served over a bed of fresh, tender spring vegetables.
The Sauce: Finished with a rich, deeply flavorful morel and marsala cream sauce that ties the whole plate together.
It is an incredible dish, and it feels like a privilege to have a neighborhood spot operating at this caliber.
For anyone else who frequents the Alberta area, what are your favorite seasonal rotation items or pasta dishes at Estes?

Had a wonderful evening catching up with close friends at Huber's last night. As the city's oldest restaurant, it’s an institution, but more importantly, their kitchen and service remain absolutely flawless.
I ordered the Chicken Piccata and it was excellent from start to finish:

The Chicken: Panko-crusted cutlets, pan-fried to a perfect crisp without being dried out.
The Sauce: A beautifully balanced, velvety lemon caper beurre blanc.
The Sides: Paired with a clean fettuccine aglio e olio and perfectly sautéed fresh broccoli.

It is consistently exceptional every single time. In a city where restaurant quality can fluctuate wildly, it is deeply satisfying to see a classic institution maintain such high standards.
