| - What a place. Its a bit expensive so we cant go there all the time, but as a group of 5 we enjoyed this high end old school posh restaurant. Our reservation was at 6:30 and we were seated almost immediately by a very courteous and attentive host, and fussed over by a team of excellent professional wait staff. This was truly a great culinary adventure because we were celebrating my fathers birthday, so this just added to a special night for all of us. The menu is very diversified and there is something for everyone. Starting with the complimentary appetizers, brought to the table which include garlic bread, pickles and cottage cheese, everything was fresh and the flavors were strong and outstanding. Mmmm the garlic, gotta love it and its great for vampire repellent too. Dual purpose appetizers always float my boat. Moving on to the salads, they were good, but when you go to a steak house the salad isnt the main event, as the late John Pinette once said, "salad is the promise that real food is coming". And that it did. Large juicy portions of prime rib for the parents, cooked to perfection. Its been a while since i have seen such attractive plates with grilled veggies on the side and a slab of cow that would make native Albertans proud. Dont forget the baked potato on the side slathered in sour cream. This made for some happy parents to have this meal bestowed upon them. For the wife, she had the Steak Neptune, again cooked to perfection and topped with seafood and a lovely Hollandaise sauce with beautiful seasonal veggies on the side. My son decided to be adventurous and try something new to him and picked the penne pasta topped with tomato sauce and grilled chicken. Now, i have to say, when you are at a steak house, pasta does not even register with me. However, once you try this, you will change your mind. He loved it and it was cooked to perfection. I had to try a sample of it just to see for myself and this dish is a winner. The sauce was tangy and permeated with parmigiana cheese, the pasta cooked perfectly, and the sear on the chicken was perfect and yet so tender and juicy inside i may have to take a crack at this myself one day. For myself, i had the Filet Mignon. Once again they outdid themselves with this thick tender steak wrapped in bacon. The sear was perfect and the lovely pink medium was spot on to my taste. The veggies on the side, especially the red pepper just added to the experience which was topped off with a baked potato. If you think thats it, well, there was also desert. Now i myself did not take part in the desert menu, I was more than satisfied with the portions and the samples of others around me so i had to opt out, but I will say, the various deserts around the table were polished off with rave reviews from my fellow diners. Next time i will have to save room for desert knowing that i may have missed out on something special. Although its high end and expensive, you will want to treat yourself here for that special occaision when you want some over the top classy service and above average food. 5 stars is not enough for this place. Thank you Ana, and Happy 72'nd Birthday Dad
