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 produce our beef. We like our beef to be, hormone & antibiotic free and pasture raised. Happy cattle make for better steaks. 2) We are one of just a handful of steakhouses in Canada that serves, Grass-fed, Grain-fed, Wet-aged, Dry-aged and Wagyu beef 365 days a year. Our beef is always fresh never frozen.3) We use an 1800o Infrared Grill to cook your steaks. Our grill stays at very consistent high heat versus a traditional open flame grill. The high heat creates a flavourful crust on outside of the steak and leaves a juicy centre.4) Our décor is warm and modern. The tradition has always been dark wood, leathers and a muted palate for a steakhouse. We broke the mold and decided to add hand selected music that reflects us!

• Japanese • Downtown
The Japanese film Tampopo was marketed as the world’s first “ramen western”. It’s the story of two truck drivers, Goro & Gun, who use their culinary expertise to change the fate of a struggling noodle shop. Those two characters' passion for noodle-making lives on at Calgary’s 150-seat noodle bar — led by executive chef Ryusuke Araki. Located inside Stephen Avenue Place, upstairs on the Plus 15 level, the restaurant melds modern art graphics with distinctive hardwood and right angles of Japanese decor. Tuck into a steaming bowl of ramen with our house-made noodles, made even better with an aji-tama egg. Or depart from noodle fare with house specialities like tuna poke or pork steam buns. Our menu boasts a variety of vegetarian, gluten, and dairy-free options. Whenever possible, dishes are prepared using wild fish instead of farmed. Complete your meal with one of 25 sakes from Goro & Gun’s curated selection from our Sake Sommelier, Amanda Jansen.

    Second time eating at Barbarella and it was still a stellar experience! Brought my parents here to celebrate their anniversary and they were happy with the amount of options and ambience. We enjoyed every dish that we ordered - one pasta, one pizza, a steak and roasted tiger shrimp! The flavours were all balanced and delicious. The roasted tiger shrimp could have a bit more shrimp considering the price - but the taste was most excellent. Every other dish felt justifiable for the price, and we'll definitely come back!

    We had the best experience at Modern Steak. The best Manhattan's we've ever had and the meal was fantastic! Delicious, grilled to perfection steaks (filet & rib eye) and sides (mashed potato, mushrooms, white bean), wine and complimentary port at the end of our meal. We are from Ontario but will be back when we visit Calgary again!

    I have been at this restaurant many times. The food is always excellent. And the views are amazing. I only wish they have better and more non alcoholic drinks choices like lemonade, apple juice and other basic drinks. Specially for people that don’t drink alcohol or non-alcoholic bar drinks.

    Our server Konnor had great personality and provided excellent service. He was always at our table at the right time. The fried mac and cheese sticks were delicious and the porterhouse and salmon were well worth the price. Shoutout to Brad, if you check hospitality in a dictionary, you would see his photo. Thank you for taking care of us.
