Chicago Chophouse

We liked the old location so we thought we would try out their new one. Decorated beautifully and the food was above average but I really wasn’t impressed with the service. I thought the staff looked unkempt (nose rings, tattoos, greasy hair). Whatever, call me old fashioned but just wasn’t impressed.

Staff were attentive although we struggled with their iPad wine list, which was having some trouble with sold-​out wines reappearing. They also gave a presentation on their steak cuts and recommended doneness levels for each one, only to get 4 out of 8 of our orders wrong– my beef tenderloin was medium instead of very rare as I had requested.
We had some tasty cocktails, lychee and blueberry iced tea, and the side dishes (lobster mac and cheese, truffle poutine, garlic mashed potatoes) and appetizers (prawns, calamari) were fine. The individual sides were quite large portions and could be shared between a couple of people.
Overall everything was tasty but the experience was drawn out unnecessarily by errors and I’m not sure it was worth the price.

GORGEOUS space!!! Seriously very pretty.
I also like that you can access it from indoors beside Theatre Calgary so if you’ve parked downstairs you don’t need your jacket.
The staff brought us an iPad with the wine list, but told us we couldn’t actually order from it. WE ordered a bottle of champagne, but as she didn’t know how to pop the cork we were then a teaching table.
So they lose a star for not training staff.

Recently visited this new location and We loved it! We have been waiting years for something to open in this space because we are regular theatre goers, and it is attached to the theatre (don’t have to go outside in the winter). The food was tasty and the staff were wonderful! We will be back!

I got a medium steak with fries and it was great! Nice attention and perfect ambiance. It just took more than usual to get our meal, perfect place for a business dinner
