We decided to visit this place after my sister came here and told me about their jalapeño bacon cheddar flavor for chicken wings. After adding them to my twitter, I found out they also had fiddleheads and we both wanted to try and see what they taste like. The first time we've seen fiddleheads was at the Calgary's Farmers Market.

Fiddleheads with truffle oil, sea salt and butter
They tasted alot like asparagus but instead in a rolled up curly shape and alot thinner. Definitely would love to try this vegetable again.

Jalapeño bacon cheddar wings
These were delicious as they were slightly spicy and salty at the same time. Here at district their wing special (15 cents) is from Monday to Thursday from 4pm to close.
UPDATE: They are no longer 15 cents anymore and the wing special days have changed as well

Blue Cheese Hot Wings
These wings did not have a very strong blue cheese taste and I thought it was basically just hot wings. Although it was very juicy on the side and very flavorful and crispy on the outside.

Guinness Barbecue Wings
These were delicious and what we absolutely love about the wings at district is that they do not just deep fry these wings and then mix it in the sauce (BBQ, honey garlic, etc) after but rather you can tell that they were marinated before-hand. These BBQ flavored wings did not taste like the other generic BBQ sauce and therefore made these wings extra special and delicious.

Truffled Duck Paté (top left in the jar) and chorizo (sliced on the bottom right)
The duck paté was good but did not have any truffle taste to it and the chorizo were just like chorizo.

Chocolate Stout Cake with Vanilla Gelato
The stout cake was not a big hit at our table (maybe we were looking for something richer) and we thought that it was a bit on the dry side but the vanilla gelato was good.

Service: 3/10- I am not big on service but on a weekday there were only 2 waiter/waitress working and it was difficult trying to get them to take our order
Food: 8/10- Most of the food were good except for some
Return: Yes! Check out our second visit :D
