Spot On Kitchen & Bar Calgary Restaurant Review

Calgaryism's Spot On Kitchen & Bar Restaurant Review

Spot On Kitchen & Bar is a new restaurant found in Garrison Green's Lincoln Park area.

Located at 2 Richard Way SW, the establishment has created a fresh menu that is much better compared to Local 002 Tavern’s selection before (old restaurant at this location) in terms of selection and price.

With a focus on using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients, Spot On Kitchen & Bar will keep things fresh with a handful of menu items changing every three months or so.

Here’s Calgaryism’s latest restaurant review for Spot On Kitchen & bar.

Atmosphere & Service

Inside of Spot On you’ll find an open-concept seating area with the bar and lounge section separated by a large wine rack. Atop the bar are large HDTV’s for those looking to catch the game; a few chalk boards here and there let you know what’s on special.

This particular day was quite nice outside so we decided to grab a table in the patio section. Each table comes with its own umbrella and are spaced out far enough from each other that you’ll have a decent amount of privacy over conversation. In terms of scenery Lincoln Park sure isn’t the Red Mile, but on any sunny warm day it’ll do.

After taking a glance at the menu we noticed that Spot On had a massive selection of appetizers, mains and meats. The fish tacos in particular caught our attention as did the dozen or so flavours of chicken wings.

Our server happened to work at Local 002 before Spot On opening and agreed that the menu offered a much better selection and value for the price.

Our Orders

El Grande Nachos – Full Size - $21.99 - corn tortilla chips covered in cheddar and mozza cheese, banana peppers, green peppers, green onion and tomato, served with chipotle salsa and sour cream dips.

This dish easily works as an appetizer for up to four people. Ingredients are fresh and blend together perfectly to create one of the tastier nacho plates I’ve had. Dips are also big enough so you don’t have to spend more cash for extra.

Sun is Shining Tacos - $14.99 – southwestern spiced fish, shredded lettuce, avocado, house-made mango salsa topped with cilantro lime sour cream.

You’ll absolutely love the contrasting tastes between the mango, fish and avocado, all brought together by a sweet tasting cilantro lime sour cream. Another thing you’ll appreciate about these is that they aren’t skimpy on ingredients.

I highly recommend adding another taco for only $3.99 so that you can have another, or someone else at your table can try these.

Chicken Wings - $11.99 - one pound of chicken wings doused in flavour of choice, served with either blue cheese or ranch and veggies.

Spot On does wings the way they should be - smothered in head to toe with your flavouring of choice. We chose "The Tough Guy" as our sauce and were pleased with just how hot they were. You'll be sucking your lips long after you eat these!

Spot On Kitchen & Bar impressed us our first time around with its incredible food and drink selection and restaurant atmosphere. Calgaryism recommends it!
