MODERN STEAK on Stephen Avenue

Great spot for Halal steaks in Calgary. There are a broad variety of options on the menu to suit all palates, and the staff did a great job at making recommendations for us to try. There's ample space for dining-in, and the food comes quickly to your table. Special mention to the sticky toffee pudding, which was the perfect dessert to cap off our meal. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!

Spend the afternoon on the rooftop of Modern Steak and man was it good. Marina was our server and she was incredible. Polite, friendly, extremely knowledgeable about the menu making some fantastic recommendations. The food was fresh and very flavourful. The patio was clean and bright. Was a great experience and meal all around. Will be back for sure. 5 stars!

The food is incredibly delicious, we tried their modern benchmarks (Flat Iron and Filet), and it was the best steak we had ever eaten. The team is very welcoming and the service is world class. Also they have very interesting and creative cocktails, we loved it, ask for recommendations from the staff, they are very genuine! The side dishes are also very tasty. We definitely recommend everyone to eat here if they come to Calgary!

We dined here for the YYC experience promotion and had a lovely time. The service was amazing and the food was absolutely phenomenal. We all really enjoyed our drinks, the wagyu dumplings, and the braised brisket on truffle gnocchi. Tanisha was an excellent, friendly server for us this evening. We also really appreciate the handwritten birthday card, and the complimentary truffle butter popcorn. But while I would love to give 5 stars, I can’t. I just noticed on the receipt that we were charged full price for our drinks when we ordered them all during happy hour. They should have been 50% off but that discount was not given so I’m feeling quite ripped off. I’ve attached a screenshot of the photo I took of our drinks on our table with a timestamp of 1728, and happy hour ends at 1730, so I’m really not sure why we were charged full price.

We had the most amazing meal/time at Modern Steak. Our server Tanisha was fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. She really out did her self. The sommelier, Brendan was a joy. He was very knowledgeable and amiable. He really cared about us and our taste and recommended some great wines. We loved our visit to Modern Steak and can not wait to return. PS, they did change their Brussel sprouts, but they can and will happily make the more delicious original

I was really looking forward to trying Modern Steak, but unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming on many levels. I ordered the beef tartare, which I always try at every restaurant I go to — and this one was a big letdown. It lacked finesse, balance, and flavor. The texture felt off, and overall it just didn’t taste fresh or thoughtfully prepared. The steak was okay, but definitely not at the level they advertise. For a place that positions itself as a premium steakhouse, I expected better execution and presentation. The dish came with just a couple of garlic cloves — no sauce, no thoughtful garnish, nothing that showed care. It looked plain and unfinished on the plate. Cocktails? Also disappointing. Expensive but forgettable, lacking the depth or creativity you’d expect from a place in this price range. I’m not complaining about the price — I’m happy to pay for quality. But when a place charges a premium, I expect to see and taste what makes them special. Unfortunately, I didn’t. To top it off, the interior and service were just not it. Our food arrived before we even had plates, knives, or forks. No attention to detail, no follow-through. This felt like a place trying hard to be upscale — but falling short in every area that truly matters

Came in on a warm sunny Friday afternoon and ordered off their happy hour menu. Pineapple Mezcal Mule and steak and fries. Service was great during a busy happy hour and busy outdoor patio. Steak was ordered medium rare and came well-seasoned but a little more on the medium well side. Standard steak frites offering.
