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!

    Another wonderful evening with friends. Tried the wagyu for the first time and wow it was delicious. It definitely won’t be my last time treating myself. Brussel sprouts are a must. Thanks Barb and Marina for a memorable evening.

    Extremely slow service and was not engaged or aware. The restaurant was not busy but it was hard to get drinks and food took a VERY long time.

    We had an excellent dining experience in April so we chose Modern Steak for my husbands birthday. Overall our dining experience was very disappointing. It was very noisy upstairs and not conducive to an intimate dining experience. I returned my Caesar salad to the kitchen and our Ribeye platter was not tender and lukewarm. The servers and management were sympathetic, but didn’t negate the poor experience and costly bill.

    We were squeezed into a table that clearly did not comfortably seat 6. It left little room on the table for the dishes we ordered. We asked for a larger table and they wouldn’t accommodate. If booking a larger group this may not be the place for you. We were disappointed.
