Steakhouse

Top Tags:

Four key pieces separate us from a traditional steakhouse.

1) We only serve ranch specific Alberta Beef. That means we don’t serve beef from anywhere else on the planet. We know our farmers and ranchers personally and respect the hard work they put into produce our beef. We like our beef to be, hormone & antibiotic free and pasture raised. Happy cattle make for better steaks.

2) We are one of just a handful of steakhouses in Canada that serves, Grass-fed, Grain-fed, Wet-aged, Dry-aged and Wagyu beef 365 days a year. Our beef is always fresh never frozen.

3) We use an 1800o Infrared Grill to cook your steaks. Our grill stays at very consistent high heat versus a traditional open flame grill. The high heat creates a flavourful crust on outside of the steak and leaves a juicy centre.

4) Our décor is warm and modern. The tradition has always been dark wood, leathers and a muted palate for a steakhouse. We broke the mold and decided to add hand selected music that reflects us!

Had an amazing time with my family, we celebrated my birthday early as I may not be in town. A couple things that were a little disappointing was we had to wait for about 10-15 mins for our table even though we had reservations for 6. Not a huge deal but once seated we were advised by our server before any kind of menu introductions or drink discussions that we only have 2 hours as someone will be waiting for our table at 8. I have read this on the reviews before hand but found it quite displeasing. However, the service and meal were fantastic so that made up for it. Will be going back

I took my boyfriend here for supper as a little thank you and Modern Steak certainly did not disappoint. Our server Brad was knowledgeable, friendly, and cracked a few jokes that kept us laughing even after he walked away. The food was delicious, all the way from the popcorn you get to start to the dessert (baked alaska was so yummyyy). The date night special also makes the experience a little more romantic for an affordable price. The wine was also fantastic. My boyfriend wasn’t a wine fan until and I preferred white wine myself, however the red wine we were served at dinner was so good that both of us have decided we want to have wine nights once a week. Would absolutely love to try sitting on the balcony next time because we definitely will be coming back!

We really enjoyed the food and our waitress got better towards the end. It started by seating my fiance and I at a table in the center of the bar with no back rest but they quickly moved us to a "better table than that" but we only really saw 2 good tables in the entire restaruant as they were kind of private rooms. The rest of the tables are spaced within 2 feet of eachother. It took about an hour before we got our appetizer order in, about 30-40 minutes before receiving a drink. The atmosphere was pretty rough, kind of like a "cheap sushi restaraunt" as my fiance described. For the good part, the food tasted amazing but the portions were fairly small, we were told the appetizers and sides were sharable sizes but I would consider it par for a personal size. Again, the food did taste amazing and that was our biggest takeaway but my fiance made a good point that it is about the whole experience. I would go back here with some buddies after work but would not go here again for a high quality date night experience.

Very informative and inviting waiter without being pushy and helped with decision making. Food was great and cooked perfectly to our liking (we got the filet trio -Chicago medium rare), but I think sides should either cost less or have more for the price.

The atmosphere is cozy, quiet and inviting. The ambiance was romantic, but not stuffy at all, perfect for our date night. The food was incredible. Steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked. The Brussels sprouts side was to die for. The service was very friendly, attentive and helpful. We had an amazing time and we will definitely be back:) thank you!

Went there for my husband's birthday. The hostess was particularly friendly and welcoming (a great first impression of the restaurant). Not only did they give us a lovely, private table, a hand-written card, but also comped our dessert. The meal was perfectly cooked and a great value - surf and turf night. Portions were very generous. Will be back!

The service was great!! The food was mediocre at best. My steak and another of our parties steak arrived room temperature. Not sure if they had an inexperienced kitchen team on that night but lots of disappointment. I would expect a $100 plate to have far better quality. Lobster tail looked like it had been shrunk under a salamander, rubbery, tiny and poorly executed. Our server saved the day so we showed our appreciation. Stiff cocktails helped. But not enough to every go back.

Steak was great! Sides were bland for our taste. Ambiance was the disappointment. Being seated in a dark corner of the basement looking at the walls was a super disappointment. Our server was great, explained the steaks well. If ambiance is important to you a dark basement room may not suffice.

Great place, great food, service was great other than having to ask for the bill several times almost felt like server was hoping we would order more if he waited longer? But get he may have been balancing with not rushing us but when you ask for the bill several times and then he comes back to the table asking if we want more water so had to ask 3rd time was a bit frustrating. This was also a date night and we were seated at a table in the open part of the restaurant with a noisy table of 4 right next to us which I would have hoped they could place a couple in a more quiet location or somewhat more private so hostess just seemed to be "doing the job" not thinking of the details or asking even....otherwise, great food and overall a nice date night just some small things to consider.

The appetizers were good, surprised the oysters were still attached to their shells but they were very good quality. The steak however was a HUGE disappointment. We ordered a t-bone and whoever prepared it removed the filet side off the bone and just served us the ridiculously thick strip loin portion attached to the bone! Couldn’t believe it honestly, and really didn’t feel like complaining and waiting for a new or different steak to come. Paying that price for a steak, at a steak house….pretty sure anyone ordering a $90 t-bone knows what t-bones look like, so very insulting being served one with an entire side of it missing. We could’ve ordered a strip loin for a lot less…pretty brutal. But of a joke. Not overly impressed with the cook on the waygu strip-loin either, but at least we got what we ordered there. Our server was amazing, aside from serving us half a t-bone and maybe hoping we wouldn’t notice or say anything…? Very strange, not impressed and won’t go back. Before we went a friend of ours said they had a bad steak experience there, and said the steak he was served compared to his friend who ordered the same steak was very different/poor quality… to be honest he told not to go somewhere else…but we decided to give it a chance and see for ourselves. Wish we listened to our friend unfortunately. There are good aspects but the main reason you’d decide to go there-steak-was an over-priced let down.
