    You cannot beat the Vintage Chophouse. Exceptional food, service, ambience. Love the lounge atmosphere. 14 oz Rib eye best around. My wife had the 8oz tenderloin Oscar, says it’s the best she’s ever had. Great wine recommendations by our server. Top notch. One of my favourite places for years.

    The food is always exceptional here. Everything on the menu is dynamite. Service is always wonderful. Only complaint, it’s always freezing in there no matter what time of the year I go and the seats by the stairs are the worst seat in the house and I somehow always get sat there. Minor inconvenience for some of the best food in Calgary though.

    The scallops were cooked perfectly. We got there early and tried a selection of the margaritas. The blood orange and mango were awesome. Max is the GM. He was very friendly and made us feel at home. Definitely recommend the place. We’d go back again for sure.
