• Steakhouse • Downtown

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 had a phenomenal experience or this evening I myself had the striploin steak. With the truffle french fries and sauteed mushrooms mix. Mistake pretty much melted in the mouth tasted delicious as did the truffle french fries and the mushrooms on top. My fiance also had the strip loin steak but she had the brussel sprouts to go with that. And our grandfather had a chicken dinner all of the meals were phenomenal we will definitely suggest this place to other people and we will be going back again ourselves

This restaurant was recommended to me by my son and it was a wonderful experience. The ambience was lovely and the service excellent. The steaks were done perfectly and our salmon was delicious. The only thing that would have been better, is to include a vegetable with the dinner and not have to buy on the side. We will be going return!

Very pleasant business lunch. Room had perfect ambience with the ability to connect and discuss important matters with our client. Service from Nick was spot on, informative, formal but still warm and charismatic. He was there when we needed him and offered appropriate space when we didn't. His timing for drinks/orders etc. was perfection. Would not hesitate to book another business lunch here or romantic dinner date for that matter.
