• Steakhouse • Downtown

Booked 78 times today

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!

We came here for our anniversary and it was nothing less than amazing. To our surprise, it was rather empty when we arrived, however it worked in our favour for a quiet dinner. We came right at the end of happy hour and ordered their sangria and margarita - which we both amazing. We also got the beef tartare, duck wings, and oysters and everything was amazing; we couldn’t believe this was all on happy hour. For mains we ordered the agnolotti and the duck breast and were not disappointed. Desserts we ordered the carrot cake and key lime pie which were also amazing. Food quality was unreal and we will 100% be back.

We had the best experience at Modern Steak. The best Manhattan's we've ever had and the meal was fantastic! Delicious, grilled to perfection steaks (filet & rib eye) and sides (mashed potato, mushrooms, white bean), wine and complimentary port at the end of our meal. We are from Ontario but will be back when we visit Calgary again!
