This steakhouse was recommended by a colleague. She said it was one of the best if not the best in Calgary. She wasn't wrong. The ambiance is exceptional. The dining room is an average size with a few wonderful bay windows. Our server explained the food and answered our questions. She could not have been better. I started with a shrimp cocktail and the cocktail sauce was out of this world. Spicy yet not too so, and obviously made in house. My Steak Diane was very tender and roasted potatoes were perfection. I had a caramel dessert and unfortunately the name escapes me. A custard with caramel sauce. My daughter has the prime rib that she said was one of the best she's had. Incredibly tender and flavourful. We will definitely be back. The staff here are amazing and the overall experience excellent. Thanks for a wonderful long weekend dinner.

The service is outstanding, my hats off to them. Well done! Food was excellent, everything was well cooked to how we ordered and everyone enjoyed their meal. Prices are similar to other high end steakhouses in Calgary. The decor is a bit dated, but still classy. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

If you’re looking for a place that exudes romance, this restaurant is an absolute gem. My husband and I have been coming here for date nights, and it never disappoints. The ambiance is intimate and cozy, with low lighting that sets the perfect mood for a special evening. The food is nothing short of exceptional—every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but the quality and experience are worth every penny. The service is attentive without being intrusive, adding to the overall charm of the place. Whether it’s a milestone celebration or just a quiet night to reconnect, this spot has become our go-to for memorable dinners. Highly recommend it for anyone seeking an elegant and romantic dining experience!

This review is for the lounge, not the dining room. We learned of Wellingtons from a Facebook foodie group. A few of the members recommended this eatery when others have asked for steakhouse recommendations. We chose to dine at the lounge not the dining room because we make pretty decent steak at home and because we liked the options on the lounge menu. It turns out you can order from the dining room menu anyway when you’re in the lounge. Our server was fantastic; she had a great attitude and was prompt and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was not as great as the service. The food was mediocre, and even disappointing for one of the appetizers. We ordered a large Caesar salad, beef carpaccio and escargot to start. For our mains we ordered the beef liver and onions and sole meunière. Relative to other steakhouses in the city, this is certainly one of least impressive restaurants. The salad was very average and doable at home. The escargot was worse than the canned ones, and the frozen ones in the shell are better. To top it off, my partner and I both got a stomach ache from the food and had to rush to the bathroom when we got home.

Best cherries jubilee dessert in town, better than Caesar's downtown. But only if made tableside by Denis (pronounced the French way)! He has over 30 years making this dessert tableside and his way was simply delicious! My wife and I with a couple of our good friends were trying various high end steakhouses and Wellingtons is worth going to. But go during a weekday when the place is not too crowded as it tends to be very noisy in this older building with low ceilings. The restaurant was less than half full when we arrived for dinner on a Thursday evening and it was already loud there! Strangely, when people started to eat and not talk as much, it was quite pleasant. We tried the French onion soup, tableside caesars salad, and the ribeye steaks with all the trimmings. Everything was delicious and the steaks were tender and tasty. The exception was the brussel sprouts which we found to be dry and chewy. The portions were very generous, so we had ordered too much food. We had to ask for doggie bags to take the tasty leftovers home with us, except for those brussel sprouts! All in all, a very enjoyable evening at Wellingtons with friends and good food.

Four of us popped into Wellington’s lounge on the 30th and it didn’t disappoint. This place has been around for like, forever, and it’s no wonder. They know very well what to do, and they do that perfectly. The service was perfect, as was the food. We found the prices very reasonable, and the portions were perfect. We started with the Calamari, oysters and dry ribs as starters. The oysters were gone in a flash, the calamari was tender and the ribs very meaty. For mains we had the steak sandwich, pepper steak, Jambalaya and veal cutlets. Sorry for the limited photos, the food was torn into before I could get enough good photos to post. I need to come back for the Steak Diane and the steak sandwich. Thanks Nick, Natalija and staff for a wonderful evening. We will be back.

Went for an anniversary celebration. Enjoyed our evening thoroughly. This is definitely a throwback feel to a 90s steakhouse. We loved the live tableside service coming features for the Caesar salad and the cherries jubilee dessert. All our dishes were delicious. Order the tableside Caesar salad -so fun and SO DELICIOUS!
