    Mendoza Malbec
    Kathi S.

    Sitting outside enjoying the beautiful day. Sipping a Me doza Malbec that is very tasty...street music is playing all around. Service is wonderful and my waitress lovely.

    Scallops

    The food and serve were both exceptional!I tried to scallops and the sauce was amazing. They provide popcorn as an appetizer which was a bit different but it was good!

    Salad, perfectly dressed
    Keeley M.

    Grabbed dinner here after Stampede and were impressed by the staff, ambience, and food! We truly had a 5-star experience with our server who gave us great recommendations and attended to all our needs. The food was perfect and flavorful, and I cannot wait to have the truffle gnocchi again. They even let us choose our favorite colored steak knife.

    Sharing Steak Platter with sides
    David P.

    The service and steak are decent, but nothing really special about it. I do like the location and its cool inside. I also like the sharing steak platters, its nice to sample a few.

    Baked Alaska- Highly recommend!

    Marina made up for the wait after being seated late (with a reservation). She explained the delay honestly and then provided amazing service! The portions could be a bit larger but the steak and baked Alaska was amazing!

    Sides: Brussel Sprouts, Mashed Potatoes, Carrots and Mushrooms
    Rachael C.

    Would recommend making reservations as it does get crowded during the dinner rush but the staff were all super friendly! They offer a variety of different cuts, some exclusive to Modern Steak. Everything was super tasty and cooked just the way we liked, although some of the sides were a tad oily for us. Definitely a different steakhouse experience than what we were used to.

    Greeted with a birthday wish
    Jeannine N.

    We went here last month (September ) for my birthday dinner and was very disappointed considering we've visited before at the Kensington location. We decided to try the Stephen Ave location this time for a change of scenery. We ordered appetizers, drinks and the main course. The appy and drinks came out quickly, but our meal took over one hour and it was too late for us as we booked a show. We asked them to bag up our dinner otherwise we would have lost out on our show tickets. Got to the show and my husband was too hungry so we ended up getting a refund for our show and went home to eat. It was so disappointing as I didn't get to eat dinner in the restaurant or enjoy the show. This experience left a bad taste in our mouth and won't be coming back for a while. Their steaks are good, but for our steaks, with 3 small scallops ($28) and one side each was $200 which I say is a bit much considering the expereince.

    2/10 New York strip
    Tam M.

    If you are looking for a good steak place trust me save your money and go to chairman's steakhouse instead because this was one of the worse steaks I've had at a steakhouse especially when it's suppose to be one of the best steakhouse in Calgary. We had 3 other people complain about the steak being so dry NO taste and not even cooked correctly. It's like the chefs didn't baste it with butter or put any butter. The exterior was so hard and black and dry. I asked for medium rare and received it medium well done especially with how dry and hard the exterior was I could not even eat this. Then I showed our waitress she agreed it did not look medium rare so they send it back to redo my New York strip and I got it back RARE. They got this out to me within 10 mins or less and It was bloody and blue inside I could only eat the edges. The waitress came back to ask me and she could see that it was so rare without me even having to say anything because I wasn't going to complain again I just wasn't going to eat it at this point. She offered me another choice and to take this off our bill since she saw I couldn't eat it. I ordered the Creamy peppercorn sauce - NASTY. Had the weirdest after taste even more. She offered me a flat iron since I was hungry and couldn't wait long but she said she'll get the chefs to rush this one. I got the flat iron with the Bernaise sauce which the steak was still dry but manageable. The bernaise sauce was great! I know I could have made this steak better at home. There are some great service here and other great dishes here that saved this review from being 1 star. We dealt with a manager Chelsea and another waitress which I forgot her name but the service was 10/10! I would come back for their service but not for the steak. Some other great dishes were the Brussels sprouts and the lobster risotto! My friends had the mushroom risotto and they said that was amazing as well.

    Wagyu Dumplings
    Ivana F.

    If you're a steak or sea food person, this place is perfect choice to come to. The atmosphere, music in the background was good. The service and food was delish. Would come back to try other things on the menu.

    Our waitress is absolutely lovely! And management, bartenders, chefs, what a great experience! Definitely will be back!
    Kyla M.

    Fantastic place! Amazing staff and management! Relaxing outdoor patio and upbeat atmosphere and the food is great!

    Wedge Salad
    Arash R.

    So this place was highly recommended by the locals. It has a sharing concept that would work great if you're more than 2 people. The concept is that the beef served is sourced from particular farms, which you can choose. The way the cows are fed differ and the experience at the restaurant is figuring out what works best for you and how the tastes differ. Much like wine tasting or single origin coffee. So it's definitely worth a try. It's hard to make a mark in Calgary with steakhouse institutions such as Hy's and Caesar's, but this restaurant has done well to assert itself in Stephen's Avenue. Having said all of the above, I tried their own farms steak which is predominately grass fed and grain fed towards the last little bit. My medium rare was more medium than I would have liked to be honest. The wine list was concise but impressive. The different take on the wedge salad intrigued me. Overall, a good restaurant but it didn't blow me away. I would probably return when in town.

    Ribeye Sampler

    Amazing and outstanding do not to begin to describe Modern Steak. Liz and Kali were beyond hospitable and made such a lasting impression that a large group of us ate here twice in one weekend. Highly recommend the Ribeye Sampler to truly appreciate some of the best cuts of steak I have ever had. From hand selected local steer to waygu, this dish showcases the Ribeye with the best of them. A large group of us visited Modern Steak to celebrate a two year delayed bachelor party for our friend, Mongolian Derby Participant, and YouTube sensation (link below) Texas Thomas. Liz provided our group with excellent recommendations of how to enjoy our time in Calgary, and Kali's command of the menu did not disappoint. Link (2:45 mark): https://youtu.be/Y7nePo_stVo

Not many bottles are older than 10 years, but a number of suppliers provide pretty much the rarest new stuff available in the region. Cold cuts, sardines and cheese served, the place is full of young young, smiling people listening to unobtrusive music. Make sure you find the stairs from the street level to get here. Oh, and they have Les Robarts by Suenen. I had to visit four wine stores in Champagne to get two bottles of that. Good luck finding that anywhere else.

We were greeted by a group of bartenders (who all happened to be wearing toques) when we walked in, and I felt both welcomed and slightly out of place (no toque). The cocktails were meticulously crafted--priced at $15-20 a drink, it's on par with bigger cities like Vancouver and Toronto, but they also live up to the standard. Honestly, the highlight of our visit to Missy's was the Missy's This That charcuterie board. Each piece of cured meat was sliced impossibly thin, the olives were meaty and delicious, and the cheeses were carefully selected to complement everything. I loved that it also came with a side of thick cut bread and pickled vegetables. One of the best charcuterie boards I've had at a restaurant for sure. Not cheap but worth the pretty penny on a slightly fancy night out.

The offered drinks and served us and offered pleasant conversation. Our party arrived and we moved to our table. Unfortunately they did not carry the glasses to the table which were filled with paid sparkling water. Instead offered more for purchase and new glasses. Not professional. We also realized quite quickly our waitress must be new. She had none of the answers to the menu questions we asked. In top of the slow and poor service the noice level between the music and the other guest was mind numbing. They must do something about the sound that carries in the room. Not one person at our table finished or enjoyed the food. We feel the chef must have overpowered everything with salt. This was a fail. 3 starts for the nice staff

When they served the dish, I was disappointed to find out it was over-cooked to medium. After asking the waitress to reorder the steak, it still came back as medium with just the middle section to be medium rare. Since the other four people already finished their meal, I quickly finished half of it. The manager came over to ask about the steak, but did not really apologized for overcooking this $55 CAN steak. Definitely not recommend coming to this place for steak.

Oakley was our server and he was so kind and informative about the menu and how the restaurant operates. The oyster of the week were the Melpeque's which starts off salty, but compensates the saline flavor with a boom of sea mineral richness. Their house relish and vinegar combined with the oysters intensified the experience and we also had to get the Oysters Florentine which were also decadent and cheesy in the best way possible. Oakley checked in on use occasionally and was also kind enough to give us (since we're Californians) some of the usual things that take place in Calgary (weather, places to check out and etc.) Definitely returning here if we make another trip to Calgary, shout out to Oakley!

When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted right away but even though we had reservations there was some talk about where to sit us. The main dining was near full and so they offered patio or upstairs. It would be more private upstairs as there was no one up there but they warned us that service was slow. Eventually, they sat us in a booth in the main dining area but it was touch and go in the beginning. Not a great impression. Our server mentioned to us that he was new. We found him very friendly and knowledgeable. We came here for the oysters - we ordered 1 Irish Point, 1 Fanny Bay and 2 Malpeque (I wanted to try one). The Malpeque also was the feature Oyster which means they are $1.50 each. I don't usually eat oysters but thought it was good. My wife says the Irish Point and Fanny Bay were good. Because the Malpeque was good and really meaty we ordered 7 more (I wanted one more). Oysters 5* Lamb Shank 4* - Wife ordered this and said it was tender and good.

Broth was flavourful but could have been thicker. Service before we got our meals (ordering) and during our meal was great. 5*. Getting the bill and getting our leftovers packed was a little slow. 3*. Decor inside was quite nice - old world feel. We may not come back for dinner but maybe for the Oysters, some appetizers, and drinks.
