  These folks know how to cook meat.
  
  In my group we had a New York, a Filet, a Rib Steak and a couple Veal Rib steaks. All were perfectly cooked and beautifully plated.
  
  Each entree had its own unique sauce and accompaniments. Locally sourced, dry aged, intensely beefy steaks.
  This aint a Keg or an Earls steak. This is Old School.
  
  Portions are very large and come with soup or salad. Appys would have been too much.
  
  It's an oddball room with dishes and glassware from grandma's house. I big whiteboard goes from table to table displaying today's specials. Simple wine list. Not fancy, they clearly focus their energy on the food. Homey-Friendly service.
  
  A killer view of the high plain and Cowboy Trail if you are in the front room.
  
  It was a bit of a long wait between the soup and the steak but it was worth it. Bit of a wait for the cheque too, but not a deal-breaker.
  
  It was packed when we got there at 5:30, and lined up when we left at 8:00.  This place is on the map. At $50 per steak, its not cheap, but the steak is all you need, and it's awesome.

  My dad has been talking about this place for months saying how fantastic it is and how the Yelp reviews are fantastic. Coming from Houston where you have lot of fantastic steak houses to choose from I was skeptical. Boy was I wrong. The service is amazing! Family run and owned, and it shows. The love and spirit shines right through.
  
  First: the house salad, the dressing makes it.
  
  Second: bacon wrapped filet and halibut were both amazing. Fish was cooked perfectly and paired with a sauce that wasn't over powering to the perfectly cooked fish. The bacon on the filet wasn't thick or over power the filet. Everyone's steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare. Sauce made the steak but could stand on its own. Even the potatoes served on the side were soft on the inside and grilled perfectly on the outside.
  
  Third: bread pudding! I didn't think anyone could top my favorite bread pudding in New Orleans and they did!
  
  Can't wait to go back! There were 6 of us at dinner and all of us LOVED everything!

  I had very high expectations from all the 5star Yelp reviews and I was definitely not disappointed. It took 1 month for us to get a table for 6. It's quite a drive from Calgary but the views during the fall was beautiful.
  
  The Yelp map brings you to a shack next to a gas station which is not the restaurant. The actual restaurant is up in the hill. A very unique place to have dinner. 5/5 for the views and atmosphere.
  
  Family owned the service was top notch. The severs were friendly and very attentive. The food was amazing and definitely lives up to one of the best steak restaurants. Our appetizers were a bit small size really not meant for sharing. The main were huge.  I came with my family of 6 and we all ordered a different cut of steak and they were all delicious. But the best were the peppercorn steak and the chateaubriand bouquetiere for two.
  
  Don't skip dessert you'll regret it. Must have the bread pudding and the cream brûlée.

  I was expecting to write a "omg, everyone was right about the steak here" review but sadly it will not be the case... When you read reviews like, this is the best steak you'll ever eat, or worth the drive, etc etc, even when hyped up by your own family members, you have very high expectations set for the restaurant and expect to be knocked off your feet.  That didn't happen.
  
  First, let me get the really good things out of the way.  Nice drive, my family and I enjoyed the scenery.  Beautiful backdrop of the mountains when you're inside the restaurant.  Impeccable service - simply perfect.
  
  Now, the food.  We started with an assortment of appetizers to share.  I didn't know what  chicken pastillia, seafood panache or chausson d'escargot were and was glad to try them - tasty but portions were on the small side for the price.  But that's ok because my focus is on possibly the best steak I may ever eat, right? I ordered the rib-eye special which was topped with three jumbo shrimp and hollandaise sauce.  I was so excited when they set the plate before me as the smell was intoxicating.  Was a little surprised to see the shrimp was steamed and not seared but again, let's focus on the steak.  Here's where it lost me... it's a very normal piece of steak.  I'm not saying it wasn't a good piece of meat, but I've had other steak where I went "wow" and this one here... did not have that effect on me whatsoever.  Also, my husband and I had issues with the doneness - some parts of the steak was cooked more than others but it was still nicely tender.  I think we just set our expectations way too high...
  
  One thing I am not entirely happy about was what they charged for my kid's pasta.  A handful of fettucine in garlic cream sauce with two pieces of chicken was $17.  It wasn't off a kid's menu - fyi they don't have one... definitely a bit of a sticker-shock there.
  
  Overall I don't know if I would make the drive out here again.  Maybe just to get away from the busy city life, perhaps.
