hy's steakhouse

hy's steakhouse is tucked away at the core shopping centre, so finding parking was not an issue. as for the food...the cheese toast is absolutely delicious!!! it's probably one of my favourite appetizers of all time!!! the steak portion was actually decent and tender. the service was top notch and had a fantastic time. only negative was that the restaurant was a bit too dark. more lighting would help when navigating around the restaurant. i look forward to coming back here again soon!

#fullpost{display:inline;}   working downtown, you can’t help but roam the core shopping centre from time to time. everybody needs a break now and again. however late last year i couldn’t help but notice that there was some major construction on the main floor of the mall and wondered what new amazing shop was going to be opening. how surprised was i when i found out that hy’s steakhouse was returning to calgary! i still remember their old location and how everybody went there and knew they’d be served a delicious steak. so needless to say, i definitely stopped by to grab a bite when they opened. atmosphere: a nouveau modern interior with a dining area which opens up to the grill room, where you can witness the steaks being cooked in all its glory. the perfect combination of new and old school. price range: $20s - $40+ food & wine: one can find all the great classics served at hy’s like tableside caesar salad and banana’s foster, so we couldn’t wait to indulge. to start we opted out of the aforementioned caesar due to my entrée selection and went with the wedge salad. i really enjoy the freshness of wedge salads and find that they’re not offered much on menus anymore. this version had a creamy thousand island dressing with hints of blue cheese, adding a bit of punch to the iceberg lettuce and bacon combination. it was a great refreshing way to start off the meal. i was excited for my main because i ordered the steak diane, which means tableside flambe of the steak. the beef tenderloin filet is cooked with dijon and fresh mushrooms, lit up with brandy and then served with fresh green beans and potatoes. it smelled amazing when it was being prepared and i was excited to taste it. since i like my steaks rare, i was surprised that the filet remained quite tender cooked to medium. the flavour of the steak wasn’t compromised but instead elevated with the mushroom brandy cream sauce. it was definitely a decadent dish. the hubby couldn’t pass up ordering something from the

this is one of my go to spots if i have meetings or doctors appointments downtown for lunch. the stroganoff is amazing, the cheesecake fantastic, the onion soup mmmmmm. and then there is the cheese toast.

had a great dinner with friends the other night, the pepper steak was amazing, the desserts well bam.

went in with a group of 17 for a birthday and everything went well. most of us ordered steaks and were happy. desserts ( pistachio creme brulee and bananas foster) were a great end. the wine options were great and the wine we chose was amazing. server and assistants did very well too. although we went in the middle of the week, i'm sure the experience would still feel the same had it been on a weekend

this was the best steak dinner we’ve ever had. the meat was tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. the accompaniments were delicious as well. highly recommended!

came here for my birthday. food and service were amazing! we started with the tableside caesar salad. then we got the chateaubriand for 2. and ended it with the pistachio creme brule and the apple crisp.

our team at work decided to continue the annual tradition of going out to a nice restaurant for a group dinner over the holiday’s. last year we didn’t meet the minimum spend at the fancy restaurant we went to, and i ended up having to purchase a $70 bottle of wine to make up the difference… i wasn’t going to let that happen to me again this year! i did some research and found that hy’s offers a private room with no minimum spend and no room rental fee. this was a perfect arrangement for the eight of us. some were singles, some were couples, and the server set us up with bills accordingly. an automatic gratuity was added, which was fair. our server was very friendly, informative and thoughtful. he was great at preparing all the table side dishes that we ordered and made sure our evening was enjoyable. the drink menu was available through an ipad – i still don’t understand using this new-fangled technology in a classy restaurant…

i was planning my work's holiday party and had not only been in touch with the events coordinator katie but also had come in to see the space. even though the restaurant did not have their menus ready for the holidays and i would have to estimate pricing for everything without much initiative from the events coordinator, i placed a reservation for 40. the next day i get a call from katie telling me another reservation has reached out to her of 100 people and she asked if my group of 40 would pay a minimum of $8,000.00 since that is how much hy's would profit from her 100 people reservation. i told her we wouldn't since it was at least 2-3 thousand more than it was initially agreed on. anyhow, utterly offended and disappointed in the way they practice business.

absolutely in love with everything about this place - food, service, everything. and if you're a steak lover, this place is not to be missed! amazing steaks! and it's a really nice place for a dinner on a special occasion. also, i prefer coming here for their happy hour specials... the service is way better than any other place around.

throwback in time when all this city had was steak. the place is an absolute cave -- at least they ditched the red velvet panelling and shag carpet. it's fun to come for a drink but i have to say i'm a little reluctant to pay $11 for a tossed garden salad. the $120 chateaubriand is tempting but i know there's little chance of it ever meeting expectations. i'm always leery about steakhouses because i make the best steak at home. steak is something i cook on hot coals and eat on the patio with a nice red. every time i've paid $50 for a striploin at a supposedly upscale restaurant i feel ripped off.

delicious steaks, a little pricy as compared to vintage. different selections super tasty cheese bread, portions are fairly small for the price, but cooked very well

i've been there twice now and will probably go again. fantastic steaks - great selection and excellent recommendations by the waitstaff. they are very professional and friendly.
the lounge area is a great spot to chill. large leather seats. the music is not too loud. the aire is perfect.

oysters were soso. the escargot tasted great i love the presentation they have in their foods. it a perfect place for fine dinning. the steak i feel is a bit better at a few other places but over all a place i would come back once in a while.

these guys know how to do steak, one of my favourite places to have a steak dinner doesnt matter what cut, very nicely appointed restaurant , the service we had the day we were there was excellent, there were four of us all had steaks all four of us had them done differently from rare to well done, all of them were perfect, which i must say is a first for me,usually its hard to differentiate from rare to medium, apps, were great, desserts looked good, defiantly many returns are in the future

on my recent dining at hy's  i must write this recommendation just because i was so impressed, first of all i find that the staff is  professional, kind  and accommodating , when it comes to the food, well it is the best steak house in calgary with their special grill, i don't think anyone has that in the city . when you dine at hy's you actually feel like you
been somewhere, great dining rooms (they have several) , beautiful people, i find that the clientele here is more sophisticated as opposed to the other dining establishments around hy's .  it's a great dining experience all in all.
