Modern Steak

Four key pieces separate us from a traditional steakhouse. 1) We only serve ranch specific Alberta Beef. That means we don’t serve beef from anywhere else on the planet. We know our farmers and ranchers personally and respect the hard work they put into p

This was our first time and we had no expectations. We really enjoyed the food and ambiance here. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were delicious. The service however, was a bit disappointing. From poorly communitcating the Wednesday Date special, to interjecting into our conversation, she simply had an edge to her that we didn’t appreciate. The worst part of it all was at the end when paying the bill, she had to remind me to tip for the full amount and not the discounted amount from our gift card. What a self serving move. Just like that, a decent night ruined by one moment and a neighbourhood customer that won’t be back.

Caesar's Steak House & Lounge

Caesar's is undeniably old school. Rich surroundings of burgundy leather and dark wood finishes evoke a sense of nostalgia. The space isn't the only thing that defines Caesar's, but rather a complete package. Caesar's has been captivating diners with the

We have been going to Caesar’s for over 30 years. The food is incredible and your meal will be served by professional servers. You won’t get service like this at most other steak houses. Many of the waiters have worked there for 20 to 30 years. Dinner comes with soup,salad and cheese bread. When u bundle this up with your entree and a stuffed baked potato it’s a tremendous value. The deserts are also very tasty. When we want to celebrate an event we go to Caesar’s.

Nice selection of cocktails here , especially if you like the old fashioned. Had a cherry smoked old fashioned...was good but have had better smoked cocktails...the smokiness didn't hold long on the glass. The atmosphere is great and the bartender was friendly. Would recommend!

Took my friend here for his birthday - awesome food - absolutely delicious! Every thing we had was great, fantastic wine list and warm wonderful surroundings. Cannot beat the staff, very friendly and attentive without hovering and obviously some Nova Scotians are involved with this fantastic restaurant!

Hayden Block

Reviewed By rhphoto

A nice evening to be out and about. Hayden Block continues the trend of BBQ & Smoke joints in Calgary. Food did disappoint. 1/2 LB Side Ribs, yummy!! Not quite fall off the bone, but very close and lots and lots of meat. Had a side Macaroni Salad.$13.00 for 1/2 LB of ribs, $5.00 for a side. “For a Side” that’s a bit much. Maybe $2.00 -$3.00, but not $5.00. Drinks were market average price and a huge selection of Whisky’s and decent selection of beer. Service was excellent, though the waitress was a little Stiff/Kurt at the beginning. She did warm up after awhile. But could have been a little more friendly. A friend had their Pork Sandwich, wow what a feast!All in told food excellent, sides need to be lower $$, come on it’s beans, coleslaw, Mac salad etc..., Not High Ticket Items here.

We had breakfast here today. We ordered the carrot cake pancakes. They were extremely small, only 2 of them and they were laden with oil. Really horrible, we couldn’t eat them. The man who served us couldn’t care less and didn’t apologize or offer to take it off our check. The water tasted metallic, nasty. I do not recommend this place.Hi Cathy,I’m sorry to hear you had a bad breakfast experience. We have never served carrot cake pancakes and did not have a male server working this shift. I think you may have us mixed up with another spot. Warmly, BLUE STAR DINER

Food is always incredible. Quick, attentive staff. Great menu selection and very accommodating staff that are able to help create a meal for any dietary restrictions. Overall, one of my go-to brunch places. Only downside is there is often a wait, especially if doing a weekend brunch. You can however download an app allowing you to get in line for a table while you are still at home/your hotel.
