Duck breast
Paul M.

Came here on a Saturday night and two out of three dishes were very good. I got the apricot glazed wild boar chop, delicious!! We also got the Canadian duck breast which was also wonderful. The only dish that was a bit of a miss was a curry style seafood dish, the curry somewhat overpowered the seafood. Service was casual and friendly, and the place was clean.

The boys took me out for Saturday brunch on Mother's Day weekend. We made reservations on OpenTable but was also asked to confirm our reservation via phone. Our table was all set and ready for us when we arrived (condiments and ice water were set up a few minutes before our reserved time). We ordered the Seafood Platter to start: the scallops were fresh, tender and sweet. The beer battered shrimp was lightly battered, crunchy and juicy. A pair of condiments (house made tartar sauce and smoked tomato chutney) and crackers complemented the cured Arctic char salmon pate, and smoked salmon perfectly. For the mains, I ordered the eggs Benny with blue crab(which I enjoyed immensely). Our son had the pork belly omelette and hubby had smoked lox, poached eggs and brioche. Our first experience here for brunch certainly won't be our last!

Walleye filet with sauteed spinach & bacon
Amy F.

We wanted to try some of the game and freshwater fish that Alberta is known for, while visiting. While several places offer bison, this restaurant was the only one that offered elk steak and walleye. Even though our reservation was in mid-afternoon, the manager Andy took great care of us! From a fascinating take on white sangria (it had dragonfruit in it) to their housemade ice cream, his recommendations were spot on. My husband had the elk sirloin, rare, with a baked potato that had been scooped out and stuffed with corn, poblano, and cheese mixture. It was all so delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. I had a walleye filet with sauteed spinach & bacon on top, served on a bed of mashed, seasoned red potatoes. The bacon & spinach were the perfect foil for the fish. And the fish skin was crispy, yum! No bones or scales...prepped really well. Portions were generous, we were absolutely stuffed. And though I loved my fish, I want to return someday to get that tender elk and stuffed potato myself. As my hub said, it was the best potato he had ever eaten.

I chose Vintage Chophouse based on the solid reviews I saw here on Yelp, and while parts of the…read moremeal lived up to the hype, some aspects left me underwhelmed. We started with the appetizers, the beef carpaccio and Caesar salad, both were excellent and really set a good tone for the evening. The carpaccio was well-seasoned and fresh, and the salad had a nice balance of creamy and crisp. For our main, we went with the Canada Prime bone-in porterhouse, which came with two sides. The jalapeño creamed corn tasted more like jalapeño grits than corn, which threw me off a bit, it wasn't really my thing. The twice-cooked fingerlings with bacon, chives, and sour cream, on the other hand, were delicious, crispy, flavorful, and well-balanced. Unfortunately, the steak itself missed the mark for me. It arrived lukewarm, not hot like you'd expect from a high-end steakhouse, which was disappointing. For a cut that's supposed to be the star of the show, the temperature really detracted from the experience. To finish off, we kept it light with two scoops of gelato, one cherry vanilla and the other a lemon sorbet. Both were refreshing and hit the spot for a light, sweet ending. Service was definitely a strong point, our server was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the night. Overall, it was a mixed experience: great apps, strong service, but the main event which was the steak it just didn't deliver like I'd hoped. I'd give it another try, but probably order something different next time.

Perfect spot for a date night. The service was amazing, so attentive and on point. Modern but has a…read moreclassic steakhouse vibe. I am not a huge fan of steaks, so I got a few sides.The scallops were cooked to perfection. They melted in my mouth and I would easily order this again. The truffle fries and broccolini were both really good. They would make a great side with a steak. The lobster mac and cheese was my least favourite, it wasn't bad more like average, not a lot of lobster pieces.

The "baked" potato was microwaved vs actually baked And it was so cool that the butter I put on it didn't melt. Ordered a side of garlic prawns and got 3 small unflavored shrimp instead that were maybe an inch long if you stretched it out. my sons fries were undercooked (some weren't even golden, they were still potato white) And said some of them were kinda crunchy/stiff. I had the owners cut of prime rib and it was smaller than the last two times I had been to smugglers where I ordered a smaller cut (first mate) And it was cold, even the au jus was barely warm. Also probably the smallest Yorkshire pudding I've ever had there. Maybe 1/3 the size you use to get. We ordered desert and it took newly 30 mins for it to be brought out - my son's "warm" apple krisp was cold he said. i have been smugglers at least A dozen times in the last 3 years and more so in the last decade and this was by far the worst experience I have ever had. In both service and quality. As it stands I would not recommend - where as before I always raved about the smugglers inn. For a $400+ bill for myself and my 3 kids, I def expected way better quality, actual warm food and not have to wait a combined time of over an hour for service. It was also my son's birthday, and he found the experience very disappointing and said he never wants to go back. When we booked we said it was a birthday, we mentioned it was his birthday and the server didnt even say happy birthday to him. Oh and it wasn't even that busy when we got there... there was maybe 10 costumers when we arrived. I might try it again due to past visits being great. But another experience like tonight and I'll probably take my prime rib expeditions else where. I doubt my kids will ever go back as the complained how horrible it was the entire drive home. I usually don't give a lot of reviews but it was such a sub-par experience I had to report it.

Parking was pretty full but we managed to snag a spot. The place was busy but not too loud. While the server did ask us if we were celebrating anything, there wasn't really anything done that made out time there special. We started with the Marrow and Escargot and shared a 12oz Prime Rib with lobster tail and Creme Brulee for dessert. The food was okay, not sure if it was worth the price of admission. Server was fine, but not memorable. We were disappointed in the experience as this used to be our go to (bi-monthly) dinner place before the ownership change.

The duck & waffles was a confit duck leg, vanilla liege waffles, foie gras gravy with a bistro salad that had a yuzu vanilla vinaigrette. Duck was delicious. I liked the salad, but honestly felt that the vanilla in the vinaigrette would be best removed. However, that's my personal opinion. The waffles were... ok. It was like eating cake and bits of sugar. I mentioned to the server that the waffles had chunks of sugar in them, but she said that they were sugar coated. To be honest, I'm not convinced. there was chunks of white sugar, not a glaze...In the waffle itself. And the batter was very heavy, thick and cake like. Not the best waffles. French toast was great, very filling and delicious. It has a foie gras caramel, maple pecans, maple caramelized apples, whipped cream cheese and back bacon. This can easily be your new favourite. My mimosa was amazing, best mimosa I've honestly ever had. Americano wasn't really anything special, especially for $6. While it was a decent breakfast, I don't think I would order waffles again from here unless they change their recipe. I was also a little disappointed they didn't have more than 2 flavours of latte. I don't think I would return with the competition that's out there, but it wasn't bad.

I'm shocked the ratings are so high on both Google and yelp. The food is way over priced and…read moreportions are small. The menu doesn't give you appetizer options so all they have are expensive mains. I ordered the cabbage rolls and basically it was very small amount of cabbage with tons of pork sausage for $34. Yes it was alright but that was it! No vegetables, no side starch. Sides are not even in the menu for you to order. The dish was way too heavy. My husband's gnocchi dish was mediocre as well. The service was good though. It wasn't their fault that the restaurant menu was so bad. I ended up leaving and headed to Norleys to order Empanadas. Overall we will not go back. Such a bad experience.

Our waitress came right away to explain the menu .. a little sad they didn't have soup on the menu as it was super cold and needed something to warm up. Nonetheless the food was absolutely fantastic everything was 5++++ stars fresh and melt in your mouth ! My drinks I had several.. martinis , some tropical breeze drink .. Overall the highlight was the fabulous steak my oh my this is arguably the BEST STEAK i have ever had in my life!! I don't think I can find a better place for steak this was absolutely divine. If you want a real steak i suggest this place and only this place .. Alberta is known for beef so i mean it makes sense :p Oysters were fresh and delicious, Shrimp were very fresh as well but our lobster tails were a lil overcooked.
