I feel a little torn to write this review. I felt like giving three stars but due to past good experiences will give 4 stars to average it out. We went there a few weeks ago and our experience was decent at best. Have been here twice in the past (several months ago) and had good experiences but this time not so much. My friend and our steaks were much much thinner and smaller than they used to be and both were overcooked. The manager came by and offered to have two new steaks done which was great but it sucks because then you are stuck eating your sides (veggies, etc) with no steak while waiting for your new steak to be done, then when your steak comes all your sides are gone. I understand it happens but it really takes away from the experience. Being a steak house I would expect the steaks not to be overcooked at least not to the extent ours was (asked medium rare and came out medium well). The prices are expensive and a dinner out for two people is a significant bill so at that price its disappointing to see the steaks much smaller than they used to be and overcooked. After this experience we won't be back and I would try other steakhouses in the city prior to returning here.

Best steak I've ever had. The sides were also delicious as well as the scrumptious desserts (which I could barely squeeze in after such a huge meal). Don't miss the buck a shuck Thursday night special if you love oysters as much as I do.

While I was at this place I loved it. It just feels so high class and the staff are very attentive, not to mention the food (while pricey) was delicious. Though I'm not a steak connoisseur, I thought my steak was wonderful and cooked perfectly. My partner and I shared the potatoes roasted in duck fat and the mashed potatoes with lobster. To be honest, potatoes are generally not that special but the lobster made it feel decadent.
The issue I have now is the tartar we shared as an appetizer. At the time I quite liked the chips and the spicing on the meat. The mustard was very pronounced. However, I was nervous about raw meat and egg. The next day I had terrible terrible food poisoning and the only thing I think that could have caused it was the tartar.
I was sick from when I woke up until well after my body had emptied itself out. I was worried I'd have to go to the hospital and an ambulance bill on top of the restaurant bill would have made me even more miserable. I didn't want to eat or look at food, especially meat.
To sum, this place is wonderful but don't eat the tartar.

My husband and I were looking for a good local steak while travelling through Calgary.we definitely got that and so much more. Top quality beef from three local sources, properly aged and cooked to perfection. The sides were fantastic too and the wine selection was tailored to the meat. I was not expecting the desserts to blow my mind also, but they did. Not cheap but really worth the experience

Can't recommend Modern Steak enough. We were impressed by the atmosphere of the restaurant, but even more so impressed by the service. We were educated on the difference between dry-aged and wet-aged beef and shared the 36 oz. tomahawk steak with mash potatoes and salad. The Lychee 75 - which was suggested by our server - and cookies & cream dessert is HIGHLY recommended. Thank you again, John, for the service and evening. We will definitely be back!
