Had a private room for a birthday and had an amazing experience! Our server was attentive and helpful when choosing wine bottles. He recommended us the moscato which was delightful. The food was as always, amazing. We started with cheese bread and caesar salad to start for the table then all individually ordered steaks. Cooked to perfection and spot on for flavour! The cream corn was also amazing. Hy’s has always been a Calgary staple and is definitely worth the hype!

The first of the Hy’s steakhouses is in Calgary, and they continue to do it very well. This is a classic steakhouse in a city of great steak. A charcoal grill, with a truly fantastic table side Cesear salad to rival any in the world. I can also recommend the table side steak tartar, also amazing!

Hands down, best steak I’ve ever had in Calgary so far! Perfect quality and taste and wonderfully tender! Bread cheese was also very delightful. We had banana foster for dessert which was both a fun show and a wonderful finishing touch! Staff was so friendly and helpful! 100% recommended!

Genuinely one of my favourite places to go to when I am done with my shopping at the Core and Chinook. Easy access, great vibe and service, and even better food. Today we tried the happy hour and it was amazing (not that I expected anything less). Would come back to try the happy hour again!

Absolutely unforgettable evening! The experience was elevated by the meticulous service—our server prepared and mixed the salad dressing right in front of us, adding a fresh and delightful touch to the meal. The steak was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor, melting in each bite. Every detail seemed crafted to enhance the evening’s enjoyment, making each course feel special. And to finish, the dessert was nothing short of spectacular: caramelized bananas with a rich, creamy ice cream, accompanied by a dramatic flame presentation. It was a perfect sweet finale to an already amazing night. I left feeling genuinely happy and fulfilled.

Hy's Steakhouse in Calgary offers an exceptional dining experience that stands out. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm and friendly staff who make you feel like a valued guest. Their attentiveness and professionalism elevate the entire experience. The highlight of the evening, however, was my delicious marbled rib eye steak. Cooked to perfection, the steak was incredibly tender, bursting with rich flavors that only a well-marbled cut can offer. Each bite melted in my mouth. Paired with a perfectly balanced, and impressive wine list, the meal was spectacular. If you're in Calgary and looking for a top-tier steakhouse experience, Hy's is the place to be.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our dining experience at Hy's Steakhouse was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a treat. The ambiance was perfect for our special occasion, with dim lighting and elegant decor setting the mood for an unforgettable evening. The star of the show was undoubtedly the steak - cooked to perfection, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delight, showcasing why Hy's is renowned for their premium cuts. What truly elevated our experience was the impeccable service provided by our server, Dino. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and expert knowledge of the menu made our special occasion even more memorable. Dino went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering thoughtful recommendations and making us feel truly valued as guests. From the appetizers to the desserts, every course was a culinary masterpiece. The wine selection complemented our meal beautifully, thanks to Dino's spot-on suggestions. We can't thank Hy's Steakhouse enough for providing the perfect setting for our celebration, and a special heartfelt thanks to Dino for his outstanding service. You've gained loyal customers, and we can't wait to return for our next special occasion!

The cheese toast is incredible. Steak was beautifully made and the potatoes felt like it was made with love from scratch. My only complaint is the flavor, didn’t feel like I was eating something memorable (might be a silly thing but that’s it). Tony was amazing and caring, the live music was amazing, the mood was lovely. Highly recommend HYs.

Will never be back. Server very poor, spilled red wine on floor, drops hit table and three patrons, no apologies. We had to summon him to get drinks as he would not come by our table. Water glass hit the floor, again no apologies from our server. Two meals returned because not prepared properly. Forced to pay 20% tip even though food and service sub par.

Went to Hy s for the first time. The quality of service from DINO went inexplicably above and beyond our expectations. Going forward when I come back I will specifically ask for a table reservation that is being served by DINO. If you want to be made feel special during your dinner experience I cannot recommend enough that you seek DINO out.

Great steakhouse in the heart of Calgary. Not a lot of parking. Prices are high but it is fine dining. Expect to pay $150 per person or more. The atmosphere reminds me of a refined steakhouse from 50s or 60s. They have a coat check at the front. The staff are friendly and very efficient. I wasnt loving dessert but the steaks are amazing. Decent wine selection as well.

I always order the dishes he prepares in front of our table ( spinach salad , steak Diane , banana dessert )so I have the pleasure to see him prepare and serve my meal and it never disappoints.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hy s Steakhouse for my anniversary, and I can confidently say that my experience was elevated by our server, Dino. From the moment we sat down, Dinos warm welcome set the tone for a fantastic evening. Dinos knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he offered spot-on recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes. He took the time to explain the history of Hy s and their famous cheese toast. Throughout the meal, his attentive service was impeccable he anticipated our needs without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance. The meal itself was exquisite, but Dino s exceptional hospitality truly made the night unforgettable. His passion for providing a top-notch dining experience was evident, and it made us feel valued and well taken care of. If you re planning a visit to Hy s, I highly recommend requesting Dino as your server. His dedication to excellence will undoubtedly enhance your dining experience. Thank you, Dino, for an incredible evening!

Just when you think they cant raise their game any higher Hys manages to find a way. We attended the Calgary locations 10th Anniversary Celebration on Sept 26th and it was spectacular. The event was flawlessly organized and orchestrated by the Hys team, the food was next level even by Hys standards and the service exceeded anything we have experienced anywhere in North America even in the finest hotels. Bryant Olender added a classic background with piano and vocal stylings that perfectly suited the atmosphere. It was certainly the best evening we have at Hys over the last decade, and I dont think Im overstating it to say it was a Once in a Lifetime experience. A huge thankyou to Barb and the entire Hys team! Wheelchair accessibility: excellent

Wrapped up our annual hiking trip from Glacier / Banff with a visit to Hys and what a way to end the trip. This was my first time visiting Calgary and we were so glad to have found this place. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the food was amazing. Our server was tremendous and made us feel right at home. (I believe her name was Dominqua, but I may be spelling this wrong. If it helps whoever reads these from the restaurant, we were in the lounge near the piano player around 7pm on Sat night 9/28). We ended up getting the Tuna, Crab Cake, and Prawn cocktail for appetizers, then ordering the Rib Steak for our main course. I also have to point out how incredible the mashed potatoes were. Seriously, they were best Ive had in years. I would 100 pct visit again if ever in the area. Exceptional food and service, highly recommended for anyone visiting Calgary.

Went here with a larger group for a work lunch. Ordered the steak sandwich. Figured: Hey, its a good steak restaurant! I know its lunch, but theyll probably have a good steak sandwich, right? Like, a better cut than average for a steak sandwich, better garlic bread, and probably a house BBQ or HP-style brown sauce, but better...... Nope. Worst steak sandwich Ive had at a restaurant ever. Their garlic bread is toast thats been near garlic and butter. Their steak was straight up mediocre. Like average-45-year-old-dude-who-likes-budweiser-grilling-an-unseasonedd-superstore-sirloin mediocre. No sauce. At all. WILDLY bland. Like, crazy bland. Embarassing that this is apparently one of CALGARYs good steakhouses. I prefer the Keg.

Had a great experience at Hys tonight. Our waiter Evandro was incredibly professional and provided great service throughout the night; he was able to answer any questions we had and helped us navigate the menu. I quite enjoyed watching the open grill from the kitchen which I thought was a really cool concept. The kitchen was very incredibly accomodating of allergies and I enjoyed the Tuscan Pasta, while my girlfriend loved her Beef Wellington. The bartender made an excellent Martini. We will definitely be back next time we are in Calgary. Thank you Hys for a great experience! Dietary restrictions: Accomodating of allergies.

Often a space becomes a place we remember because of the people we encounter there. Sarah who served us made the Hy s dining experience so memorable. She clearly takes great pride in her work and her 70-year-old establishment. The meal was very simple but everything was made close to perfection. We had to taste the famous cheese toast which while nice warm was a bit doughy. The Caeser salad dressed by Sarah was among the best I have had in a long time. This unlike the cheese toast is something I will order again next time. The salad was followed by an exceptionally high quality lunch of steak frites which would put many a Parisian bistro to complete shame. What more could one ask for apart from a bit more room in the stomach? This place is as fine as it can get so do treat yourself when you can.

We were super excited to share a birthday without kids at Hys, as we have been here before. We came for happy hour at 330pm. The lounge and restaurant were dead, and we did not know that happy hour prices were only available in the lounge - so our bill was $40-50 extra for sitting 10 feet away. Service was great, they are very nice and attentive. Food was less than mediocre. The Cacio de pepe was literally the equivalent of Michelinas frozen pasta (Michelinas might have been better). It was noodles in a white sauce with pepper. When the server asked how things were, he knew right away and almost seemed embarrassed. We will not be returning despite the lovely staff.

Ordered a peppercorn steak with the sauce on the side. Really enjoyed that the steak was encased in peppercorn, giving it a good amount of heat and flavor. The steak was cooked perfectly based on my stated preference. Unfortunately I did not have sufficient room to finish the sides - I actually assumed the steak would be served alone with sharing sides optional. Service was friendly but lacked the upscale, fine dining standards one might find at other steakhouses. This may be because we sat in the dimly lit lounge area. In addition, I found the couple seated next to us classless. Granted not something the restaurant or servers can control. Suffice to say, next time Id take a seat in the dining area over the lounge.

It s fine for what it is. It suffers by comparison to really good steakhouses, and it s a bit louder and busier than is traditional for them as well.

Used 2b one of the best in Calgary but frankly i was very disappointed during our most recent visit in 2024. They used to have the best ceaser salad n the burger. The problem is burger is only served at the lounge. Well, i guess one has to try both n decide on their own which side they may like better. This time we had dinner at the restaurant side both our ceaser salads & steaks were below average. Then we had lunch at the bar side again food was not good. Then i had a take out ceaser salad from the bar side which was a disaster. Unfortunately, Hys is no longer a top restaurant in Calgary. Either their chefs or management or both must have changed to become so below average. What a pity. Vegetarian options: They have some options on the menu Dietary restrictions: Listen if u have too many restrictions maybe this is not the place to eat. Meats, salty stuff, all those fries, dressings, deserts, nope it wont work. Parking: Parking is next door, i think entrance is from 7th Ave Kid-friendliness: Not really Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

My first time! Food was amazing - my 12oz filet with mash and veggies was easily made gluten free and cooked to perfection. The creme brulee was so-so, more like a jello pudding than an actual egg brulee. As for atmosphere, I was hoping/expecting a place like this to have live piano music or something really classy but instead they had a DJ which made conversation difficult at my table for 10.

Food was wonderful and service was great. Our meal however was ruined by the amount of fruit flys that were present in the dining room. It became so bad we asked to switch seats. They were in our lamp and walls and I had managed to kill three and leave them on the table. They was still many left buzzing around our head and plate.

I recently took my brother to Hy s Steakhouse for his birthday lunch. The space is beautifully overwhelming, slightly pretentious, yet it oozes class and a rich sense of history. We started with the zucchini carpaccio, escargot and cheese toast. The carpaccio was elegantly plated and very well balanced. The escargot was deliciously scrumptious and the the cheese toast is a must. For our mains I had the fillet cooked Chicago medium rare. My steak was outstanding, it was done perfectly. My brother had the steak sandwich and by his empty plate it hit all the marks. One thing I learned that I didn t know before was that Hy s was founded and began in Calgary. If you re lucky enough you ll get Sarah as your server and she ll be able to guide you through the menu as well as the history of this remarkable establishment. I will definitely be back.

They brought my friend a steak that looked mid-rare when she asked for mid-well, and there was pink in my burger patty (which I was assured would be well done). I expect a lot better from a neighborhood pub, much less a place like this.

3 people at my table ordered the Beef Wellington which comes medium or medium rare - I opted for medium. When cut down the middle, all 3 beef wellingtons were super rare. Other guests in our party ordered different steak dishes and they were good. Dessert was good - cheesecake, bananas foster and key lime. Caesar salad made table side was below expectations for a nicer steakhouse. The entire time our server looked like he was upset to be there (we got a good laugh though from it) Overall the experience had some highs and lows so it averaged out.

One of the best steaks I have had. I had new york strip and my girlfriend had filet mignon, both were amazing. Really liked their tartar, it was prepared table side which was nice(check the video). Drinks wise highlight was espresso martini, it tasted pretty good. We went there for our 1 year anniversary, happy anniversary on the dessert plate was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend this place for steaks in calgary

My friends and I went to Hys on March 9th for a friends birthday. Im not really all that picky and typically give everything for a 7/10 or 4/5 star review. Unfortunately Hys was an experience to forget for me. The cheese toast was nothing special, it tasted like goldfish crackers on bread. The steal Tartar was the only thing on the menu that actually tasted pretty good. Between the toast, tartar and the steak Neptune... something caused the worst stomach bug of my life. Ive had diarrhea before, but this was something else. I went through 3 costco TP rolls in 3 days after going to Hys. My friends had mixed reviews but I was the only one that ordered something different and got sick. Also- everyone has bad days, I totally get that. But our server seemed like he really didnt want to be there. Pretty disappointing considering youre spending $150 for the night.

What a classy restaurant. From the moment you walk in everyone makes you feel so welcome. The food is delicious, the ambience exceptional. A perfect place for a celebration. (It was my wifes birthday) And to top it all off our waiter, Deano, brought elegance to our table: he was professional and fun without being too intrusive. In many ways he was like the conductor of an orchestra: making sure everything was co-ordinated and on time and cooked to our complete satisfaction. We recently moved to Calgary from Vancouver, where we were frequent guests at Hys: so this was like a home away from home. Thank you for a fantastic evening. - CLIVE JACKSON

Went to Hy s for the first time to celebrate New Year s Eve and our anniversary and everything was perfect from the minute we walked in, to the minute we walked out. Ethan was our server and made our experience amazing. Everything came out so fast and was ate even faster! We had the porterhouse and New York strip and both were THE BEST steaks we ve ever had. When we left, we got our coats and I couldn t believe that I was offered to have my jacket put on for me. Will definitely be going back again and recommending Hy s to anyone who has not been before. Parking: Tons of underground parking. The time we went, parking was free Wheelchair accessibility: Elevators from the parking garage to the mall and into the restaurant. Ramps and I don t believe there are any steps inside the restaurant

After a lengthy family discussion and a coin toss here comes the review for a saturday night outing, day before New Years, to avoid the rush and hopeful on getting a slightly better meal for the same reason. The steak was a flop. I cant be nice about it at all as this is the first time where I couldnt wait to get home to eat something that didnt taste like charred leather, keeping in mind i asked for med-rare. 0/10. The Tuna however was the highlight, the cheese toast? I dont see or understand the raves behind it but so be it. The half chicken Im told was decent enough. We didnt get a desert and were frankly ready to leave immediately when we got the bill which, honestly, there are better steak houses that are more affordable, especially when one main was a shared dish. Drinks; a cesar and wine. Cant really go wrong there. The others just had a soda. Overall - not good. Wouldnt go back and certainly wouldnt recommend. I do want a make a final note of the staff, however, they were honest enough to understand various frustrations, very friendly and extremely pleasant.

One of the better happy hours out there. Food was great...service was a little lacklustre. Several members of our group let the server know ahead of time that they had an event to go, and it still took forever to get her back around when it came time to pay. They ended up late for said event.

The waiter we had at the time wasnt very well trained I believe he should not be at a restaurant of this caliber. He would ask questions never let you finish answering argued constantly. I ask for a less expensive tequila in a mixed drink , as well an ounce neat in a glass patron grand burdeos, which is not to be fixed but sipped and appreciated. Drinks came they made them the other way around. I tried to point this out . He just argued its correct. I was done . My oldest daughter then should him it was made the wrong way . Anyhow I would go back hope hes gone though

We had lunch at Hys in celebration of our colleague going on maternity leave. The food, service and atmosphere was great and I have no complaints there. I didnt give 5 stars for the overall rating and service because we got charged for water without being told that the water that was being served wasnt free. We just get asked Sparkling or Still? but without knowing that there was an option (is there one?) that we can have free tap water. Water should be assumed free unless the customer asks for bottled water by name. Im pretty sure Im not the only customer who discovered this charge unknowingly.
