| - We came in here for lunch with friends as we were driving through town and looking for a good Albertan steakhouse.
We were promptly seated and given no I'll feelings towards our appearance (tired and in very comfortable clothing, a bit out of place among the downtown business crowd)
Food did not arrive as quickly as The Keg, from my experience, but the steaks were cooked properly (I'm a medium-rare gal, and more often than not it turns out medium) and tasted great. We each ordered different cuts but were all satisfied. My bearnaise sauce, served on the side, was cold and had that film sauce gets when it's been sitting and chilled. Others ordered the peppercorn sauce and it was 'okay but not enough peppery bite to it'.
Sides are served family style, so it was nice that we were able to share the mashed potatoes (smooth, good), mushrooms (divine!), and jalapeño creamed corn (good taste but no jalapeño kick to it).
Great wine selection, promo service, and a fairly attentive waitress. I'd recommend to friends passing through town.
