With chilled, romantic vibes and prices that aren't necessarily going to empty your wallet on a special night out, LUX STEAKHOUSE re-open after 19 months is reason enough for a visit. Savoury, tender and everything you'd expect from a cut of meat, a slab of steak here won't go unfinished, and the sides only give them that extra edge. Our favorite is lobster mac&cheese flavourful and delicious! Highly recommended.

oysters out of stock. We only recieved 3. If you are paying ouver 3 bucks for them, you should have them in stock. Irritated

Really a 3.5. It wasn't as bad as a decent, but I am not sure if it should recieve 4 star review. So in general it was a really great night. The atmosphere is upscale and beautiful, and our service was amazing. The menu is focused on steaks, which I am not, but there was options for non steak people. Our cousin from the states wanted at steak experiece. And in general it was a 7 out of 10. It was decent, but I am not sure if rationalized the price. And they were out of a lot of stuff. My cousin is a craft beer person, and the the the first three beer options he asked for, they were out of stock in. Not the best start of the night. I had two cocktails and for the price point in comparision, was really good. They were the same price as many upscale chain restaurants but much better done. Loved the old fashion. We decided on a few appetizers. We decided that the beef tartar was one of the the better ones we had in Edmonton. Annoyed that they only had 3 oysters left, and for a high end dining place we had to split them. And also some of the craft beer was out. So if you are charing a 27 dollar steak (cheapest without sides ) you better have your act together for everything else. And they didn't. The two cheapest steaks were sold out. We had to pick a higher priced steak. He picked the 80 dollar steak. Which was super disappointing. The appetizers were the highlight of the evening. Everyone loved the truffle perogies. Dainty with a soft truffle filling. My husband said that the beef tartar was one of the best he had eaten. He likes it when the beef is the star and it isn't full of filler. It was really well done with high quality beef. However, the poutine was soggy and sad. We had one bite each and didn't touch it for the rest of the evening. The creamed spinach was good. Great texture and tasted fresh and bright. The steaks, which is why we were there were there, was okay as best. Bland. My cousin'ts steak wasn't done properly. I didn't order any but I tried my husband's. Not something I would pay for. It was ok but not worth the 40 plus bucks that we paid with A SIDE. NO SIDE INCUDED! My daughter and I had the mushroom ravoli. Wow. Great flavour, loved the truffle cream and it was a very generous portion. Beautiful atmosphere and really great service. However, I probably won't come here unless we are hosting someone that is really craving steak.

Beef ribs and the Surf&Turf
Daren S.

Been here many times and we've never had a bad meal. Went for a belated Christmas dinner with my partner. As to be expected post-Christmas, the restaurant was not too busy for a Saturday night. We were seated promptly and had some pre-dinner cocktails. For our meals, my partner had the beef ribs, i had a steak with prawns. My partner was concerned about portion size on the ribs but the server assured him they were sizeable. She wasn't lying as you can see in the photos. We were stuffed but managed to save room to share carrot cake. To the staff at Lux and in particular our server Rena, thank you for yet another excellent meal. We've never had a bad experience here and look forward to our next visit.

Pure garbage, over priced and based on my order thank god I didn't get a steak. Should have just gone to Mcdonalds. 44$ for a meat and cheese platter that comes with nothing! Feta cheese mixed with a bit of blue cheese is not an "artisan cheese".

Chicken sandwich and salad
Violet P.

I met a friend for a festive lunch and we made reservations in advance. They get pretty busy before Christmas so next time I know to make a reservation at least a few weeks in advance. We were able to get a table for 2 at 1PM but it was still busy with people arriving when we did at the hostess stand in the restaurant part. We didn't have to wait too long for them to clear a table and we were seated in a booth in the restaurant part. I prefer this part rather than the lounge area with high tables that's closer to the Commerce Place entrance. Our server was decent but tried a little too hard to be funny. But he got us drinks, food, and cutlery when needed to he did his job. The lunch menu had a good variety of sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. I couldn't decide between the open face chicken sandwich or a salad but ordered the sandwich with a side market salad ($17). There were an item or two not available as they were sold out but my friend was in luck as she ordered the last beef sandwich. It didn't take long for the food to arrive at our table. The open faced sandwich was a pesto topped on a grilled chicken breast on top of cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado on a multigrain bread. It's a good thing they provided a larger knife as I needed it to cut through the vegetables and bread. The side salad was delicious with green, mandarin oranges, walnuts, and vinaigrette. The salad would be tasty with chicken or shrimp. The food tasted fresh and I liked all the vegetables on the sandwich. When it was time to pay our bill, our server let us know there was a survey if we wanted to complete and be entered to win a draw for a gift card (I think $100). We paid our bill and didn't feel rushed to leave. Although the prices were a little high, I enjoyed the atmosphere and food and would come back for lunch again.

Menu

The Century Hospitality Group has always been a prominent player in the Edmonton culinary scene. The group runs multiple restaurants throughout the city (MKT, Delux Burger Bar, etc.), and even has further expansion plans this Fall. There has been a lot of movement in the Century Hospitality Group over the past few years, with chefs moving around and concepts being changed, so I was looking forward to trying out some of the fresh new dishes on the menu at LUX. Chef Tony Le has been with the Century Hospitality Group since 2006 and took on the role as Executive Chef for the group over the last few years. Out of all the restaurants, LUX has always been a staple for people working in the downtown business core. Located within Commerce Place, it's easy to walk to and caters to both the lunch and dinner crowd. The dining room has more of an upscale feel, while the lounge is more relaxed. Our night started off with a selection of small bites and shareable appetizers, and first to the table was the Kale Salad ($9/$13). Kale tends to be a love it or hate it ingredient, but I found that this salad with honey lemon vinaigrette, shaved Sylvan Star Gouda, ground pancetta, and walnuts to be well balanced, light, and really fresh with the citrus notes. Pork Belly fans at the table were happy to see the next dish come to the table. The 24 Hour Bacon ($14) features a slab of bacon that is braised for 24 hours before being cut and seared. Each piece was fatty and seared crispy, pairing well with the acidity from the mustard and pesto served on top. The Lobster Croquettes ($19) were crisp, decadent morsels perfect for sharing between two or three people. With a combination of Atlantic Lobster, mascarpone cheese, and Yukon Gold potatoes, the croquettes were rich but not overly dense. The exterior was fried golden and topped with crisp herbs and truffle aioli, adding an additional dimension of flavour. Next up came the Spicy PEI Mussels ($17) cooked in a sauce of Sriracha pesto, leeks, white wine, parsley and shallots, and served with a side of grilled bread. The mussels were plump and fresh, and the sauce was seasoned well so as not to overpower the natural flavour of the mussels. Last but not least was the Bone Marrow Stk Tartare ($17) with it's unique presentation right in the bone itself. Unfortunately, unconventional presentation made the tartare difficult to mix as the bone below didn't have the marrow roasted out of it. Using AAA Alberta beef, dijon mustard, capers, herbs, roasted garlic, and crispy shallots, the tartare was fragrant but could have used a bit more salt for seasoning. Main courses served family style is new to LUX, but Chef Tony wanted to incorporate some dishes that encouraged sharing amongst the table. One of the boards is a classic Surf + Turf ($115) featuring a 24oz lollipop ribeye topped with sautéed langoustine, a generous side of lobster mac & cheese, grilled rapini, roasted fingerling potatoes, and classic bernaise sauce. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the mac & cheese was rich and creamy, as expected. The potatoes may look like a filler, but well seasoned fingerlings are a great accompaniment to any steak, if you ask me. Based solely on the price point you may be looking for more food, but don't be fooled as this surf + turf can easily fill 2-3 bellies. You could hear everyone's amazement when the Crispy Corn Meal Snapper ($69) made it to the table. I never expected to see a whole deep fried fish staring at me outside of a Chinese restaurant, so I was excited for this one! This whole Pacific Snapper was served on a bed of crispy chickpeas and cabbage and accompanied by a board of iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced radishes, grilled avocado, cilantro, and salsa verde. The hands-on eating was fun and interactive as we worked on building our own crispy 'fish tacos'. Now if you're not a fan of looking your food in the eye, the kitchen is happy to serve the snapper with the head off. It's been a few years since my last visit to LUX and I was pleasantly surprised by our meal that evening. While LUX is branded as a steakhouse I like that there are modern twists and unexpected surprises on the menu. There are some premium prices that would prevent it from being your go-to restaurant, but it's a great spot downtown for your next special occasion or celebratory meal.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Lux is short for luxury. Everything from the lights and red carpet outside the entrance, to the curtains and dark mahogany furniture inside painted the image of sheer luxury. The restaurant consists of two spaces, the dining area and the lounge. The floors are covered in plush carpet, and there are big black curtains draped from the ceiling. The table candles are fake (light bulbs) as I discovered when our waitress accidentally knocked ours over (I freaked out because I thought the menus were going to burn). On the walls, they have large abstract paintings and framed hockey jerseys. Former Oilers captain Ryan Smyth owns 40% of the shares for the restaurant, so that explains the jerseys.The music is a combination of techno and house, but they play it very low so it doesn't kill the cozy atmosphere. Most people came a bit dressed up, but there were a few people in casual denim. I usually just like to order drinks and dessert when I go to a fancy place like this, skipping the pricey entrees altogether. So I was disappointed when my lychee martini was pure vodka. For $9, I expected my drink to at least taste remotely like its name. We ordered the homemade tomato tortillas with spinach and artichoke dip, and this made me feel a bit better. The dip was warm, thick and creamy, with chunks of tomatoes, onions, and artichokes and strings of spinach. For dessert we had the Lux parfait and pomegranate cheesecake. The parfait had caramelized bananas, coconut, and candied pecans. It also had some kind of spice in it (cinnamon?) that left a strange tingly sensation on my tongue. I'm not sure if I liked the spice in my dessert, it was different, that's for sure. My friend ended up finishing almost all her cheesecake. I had a taste of it, and it was pretty good; sweet and not too rich. Another friend had the creme brulee which came with banana ice cream .The ice cream was nice, but he said the creme brulee was a bit too sweet. The Lux experience wasn't all I thought it would be, but I'm glad we went that night, because now my curiosity has been quelled. It's definitely a plush place to go on a weekend night, if you're willing to dish out some big bucks. But overall, it's just another (majorly) over-priced restaurant with too much focus on ambiance, and not enough on food. Then again, I only had the dessert and drinks, so I can only vouch for those.

Chocolate cake. Or great wall of chocolate.

As one of Edmonton's best steakhouse or so I perceived I had some high expectations. I love steak and I know how exactly I want it. Big juicy ribeye. Dry aged minimum 28 days. Nice, broiled crust on the outside. Medium rare. Juicy and tender. It ended up being a 21d dry aged steak, barely a crust. Under seasoned. No aromatics like rosemary or garlic butter. Medium. Had to work the knife like crazy through some parts. 21d does barely anything to the meat, and honestly I even doubt that here based on the moisture and tenderness of the meat. Unsure about prime grade either. So dry, I almost had to dip my steak in the black peppercorn sauce just to get it down which in turn overwhelmed the meat. This could be due to it being a solid medium when I'm used to medium rare but oh well. Let's go back to the appetizers. We got calamari and dry short ribs. Both underseasoned. Unfortunate. Dessert sort of redeemed itself. Well, not mine, the chocolate cake came out impressive but was honestly average for taste. The coconut cake though was truly delicious. The salted caramel creme brulee came out with too little custard, too much sugar, and most of all, burnt on top. Should be nice and orange and light brown. It was more like.... Dark espresso brown. Service was great. Guy was super nice and attentive. He even waived my colleagues burnt creme brulee. (expected though). Quite frankly to sum it all up, an underwhelming meal. Oh well.

However, if you love chocolate, this one is for you. For us this was fairly pricey so it would be a once a year treat.
