We made reservations in October 2022 and after 7 months, we had our dinner last night. We were greeted upon arrival and sat in the lounge with fresh flowers and looked at the artwork and nostalgic pieces such as an old cash register, wood stove, stuffed birds etc. We were seated and water and drinks were offered along with soft, fresh butter and bread. I think we had 3 plates haha! The poppyseed was our fave. Entrees are served with soup or salad, veggies abs roasts taters. We all had something g different to try it all. Son had Caesar salad, I had green salad and hubby had potato corn chowder and we stared a shrimp cocktail. Shrimps wee lightly marinated and delightful. For entrees, son had a filet mignon with bearnaise, hubby had the bacon wrapped tenderloin and I had the infamous 12oz ribeye topped with shrimp and home made hollandaise. Casual fine dining in a beautiful setting as we watched the sunset. I have eaten a lot of beef but this was one of the BEST experiences ever!!! Vegas, San Fran, Toronto and NYC haven't stole my heart or my tastebuds for steak. The meat quality and preparation is taken with great care. I'm talking Michelin star quality!!! We asked for rare to medium rare and that is what we were served. We shared a creme brûlée but they had other desserts that would have also floated my overstuffed taste buds! The portions are large, the bread was endless and the service was attentive without being intrusive. This is about as country chic as it gets and truly showcases its pride in Alberta beef. Way to go

My dad has been talking about this place for months saying how fantastic it is and how the Yelp reviews are fantastic. Coming from Houston where you have lot of fantastic steak houses to choose from I was skeptical. Boy was I wrong. The service is amazing! Family run and owned, and it shows. The love and spirit shines right through. First: the house salad, the dressing makes it. Second: bacon wrapped filet and halibut were both amazing. Fish was cooked perfectly and paired with a sauce that wasn't over powering to the perfectly cooked fish. The bacon on the filet wasn't thick or over power the filet. Everyone's steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare. Sauce made the steak but could stand on its own. Even the potatoes served on the side were soft on the inside and grilled perfectly on the outside. Third: bread pudding! I didn't think anyone could top my favorite bread pudding in New Orleans and they did! Can't wait to go back! There were 6 of us at dinner and all of us LOVED everything!

These folks know how to cook meat. In my group we had a New York, a Filet, a Rib Steak and a couple Veal Rib steaks. All were perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. Each entree had its own unique sauce and accompaniments. Locally sourced, dry aged, intensely beefy steaks. This aint a Keg or an Earls steak. This is Old School. Portions are very large and come with soup or salad. Appys would have been too much. It's an oddball room with dishes and glassware from grandma's house. I big whiteboard goes from table to table displaying today's specials. Simple wine list. Not fancy, they clearly focus their energy on the food. Homey-Friendly service. A killer view of the high plain and Cowboy Trail if you are in the front room. It was a bit of a long wait between the soup and the steak but it was worth it. Bit of a wait for the cheque too, but not a deal-breaker. It was packed when we got there at 5:30, and lined up when we left at 8:00. This place is on the map. At $50 per steak, its not cheap, but the steak is all you need, and it's awesome.

This is one of the best steakhouses in the world! Seriously! The view of the mountains is also amazing.

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Kitchen Speed: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4/5 This place is well worth the drive. The food quality is far better than the building and decor let on. This family run business will charm you and leave you feeling content for the drive home.

Well, they did it again! This place never ceases to amaze me. They continue to keep surpassing the already high expectations I have before I visit. I had two friends with me that had never eaten here before and I said with 100% confidence "this will be the best meal you've ever had". They both agreed I was correct. The service is always lovely too. The staff is always the same (family oriented) - and you can tell they take total pride in their business. They are always attentive. Always lighthearted and interacting with the patrons. Always positive and it's obvious they're happy to be there. This was my first time being in the new building and I was so impressed with the building. It is still small, but that's what they do - they don't cram people in there and make frozen meals to make sure that everyone is getting fed quickly so that they can rush you outta there for more people to make the biggest buck. They serve food provided by local people and the taste proves how important that is. They also have a beautiful waiting area for those who have later reservations. They serve wine (or whatever drink you may have) to those who are waiting, as well. The view from the new place is also incredible. I'm lucky to be from the area and get to see this view all the time, but for those who are visiting will be taken aback by the panoramic mountain view (who am I kidding? I still am). Warning: if you do want a table, book well in advance. I called at the beginning of May and the only table left was this specific Thursday evening at 5:30. Nothing else was available until mid July. There is a reason for that though and the wait is worth it. I, with total confidence, assure you that you will love it here.

Very good steak and very good service! The young gentleman there is very nice and funny! My family and I ordered the Rib Eye with Jumbo shrimp & Hollandaise, Chateaubriand Bouquetiere for Two and Dark Chocolate Hazelnut caramel cake. Unfortunately, the rib eye was overcooked. We asked for medium rare, but it was in between medium and medium well done. However, the rib eye was still very tender and well seasoned. We talked to them and i guess they didn't really get what we meant; so they offered us another piece of steak for free which was not rib eye though. But we really appreciated it. Overall, we think we loved the Rib Eye more than the Chateaubriand (Centre cut of beef fillet), but they're both very tender! And the cake was so good! We 3 people only ordered one piece to share, and we so wanna order another piece !!!!

Well worth the drive to Longview. We heard this place was great and it exceeded our expectations. The father and son waiting on us were nice and funny. They were quick to clear out empty plates and didn't rush is through our meals. Spacing between each course we ordered were spaced nicely. Our group started with a couple people getting appetizers ( scallops & escargot ). Both felt the seafood was so fresh for being in land locked Alberta. When ordering our main courses we all had the choice of creme of mushroom soup or house salad. A few of us had house salads while two the soup. The portions were great and very tasty without being overwhelming. The main course continues to please. The peppered steak was delicious and a nice size (10 oz). The sauce and veggies accompanying the steak were just as tasty. Right to the dessert, this place never failed to disappoint. My crème brûlée was a great finish to an excellent meal. We'll definitely be back!

I was expecting to write a "omg, everyone was right about the steak here" review but sadly it will not be the case... When you read reviews like, this is the best steak you'll ever eat, or worth the drive, etc etc, even when hyped up by your own family members, you have very high expectations set for the restaurant and expect to be knocked off your feet. That didn't happen. First, let me get the really good things out of the way. Nice drive, my family and I enjoyed the scenery. Beautiful backdrop of the mountains when you're inside the restaurant. Impeccable service - simply perfect. Now, the food. We started with an assortment of appetizers to share. I didn't know what chicken pastillia, seafood panache or chausson d'escargot were and was glad to try them - tasty but portions were on the small side for the price. But that's ok because my focus is on possibly the best steak I may ever eat, right? I ordered the rib-eye special which was topped with three jumbo shrimp and hollandaise sauce. I was so excited when they set the plate before me as the smell was intoxicating. Was a little surprised to see the shrimp was steamed and not seared but again, let's focus on the steak. Here's where it lost me... it's a very normal piece of steak. I'm not saying it wasn't a good piece of meat, but I've had other steak where I went "wow" and this one here... did not have that effect on me whatsoever. Also, my husband and I had issues with the doneness - some parts of the steak was cooked more than others but it was still nicely tender. I think we just set our expectations way too high... One thing I am not entirely happy about was what they charged for my kid's pasta. A handful of fettucine in garlic cream sauce with two pieces of chicken was $17. It wasn't off a kid's menu - fyi they don't have one... definitely a bit of a sticker-shock there. Overall I don't know if I would make the drive out here again. Maybe just to get away from the busy city life, perhaps.

I had very high expectations from all the 5star Yelp reviews and I was definitely not disappointed. It took 1 month for us to get a table for 6. It's quite a drive from Calgary but the views during the fall was beautiful. The Yelp map brings you to a shack next to a gas station which is not the restaurant. The actual restaurant is up in the hill. A very unique place to have dinner. 5/5 for the views and atmosphere. Family owned the service was top notch. The severs were friendly and very attentive. The food was amazing and definitely lives up to one of the best steak restaurants. Our appetizers were a bit small size really not meant for sharing. The main were huge. I came with my family of 6 and we all ordered a different cut of steak and they were all delicious. But the best were the peppercorn steak and the chateaubriand bouquetiere for two. Don't skip dessert you'll regret it. Must have the bread pudding and the cream brûlée.
