About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Romantic
Four key pieces separate us from a traditional steakhouse.

1) We serve ranch specific Alberta Beef. 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.

AND NOW THE ONLY LICENCED RESTAURANT TO SERVE AUTHENTIC KOBE BEEF

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!

    Modern Steak on Stephen Avenue is a gem. The Alberta beef is unmatched, cocktails are on point, and the service is polished yet friendly. The upscale vibe and downtown energy make it perfect. A true Calgary classic.

    5 stars – The rooftop lunch at Modern Steak was absolutely perfect. Stunning views, top-tier service, and the steak was cooked to perfection. Loved the vibrant patio atmosphere—elegant yet relaxed. A must-do in Calgary for any sunny afternoon!

    The Wednesday night date night is kind of a trap to get you in & ends up being a lot more than you expected, will not be going back- do not recommend. Many begged steakhouses!
    MODERN STEAK on Stephen AvenueResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Natasha, Thank you for joining us at Modern Steak. Our Wednesday Date Night has served over 100,000 guests in 11 years and offers 3 steak choices, 9 sides, and a feature bottle of wine for $98 per couple. Please see website for exact details. You selected steaks from our grass-fed feature menu, which fall outside the promotion pricing — as explained by your server. You also added an appetizer and sauce, not included in the special. Our intention is never to mislead. We aim to provide great value and exceptional quality, as many of our returning guests—including yourself have come to enjoy. We hope this has provide clarification that was needed. Thank you again. —Team Modern

    The server was awesome! He gave us lots of good advice on the menu. The food was fantastic. All in all a very good experience. Sat on the rooftop patio. Music wasn’t too loud. Easy to have a conversation. Would go back again.

    The steak was terrible (A5 Wagyu). I chalk it up to the kitchen, as the table service as excellent. Good restaurant overall (have been there before) but the steak was brutal, especially for the price ($$$).
