Yesterday evening, I celebrated my birthday dinner at this establishment with some close friends. I was in search of a venue offering excellent food, impeccable service, and a soothing atmosphere, and Vintage exceeded all my expectations!The atmosphere exudes charm, and the staff were incredibly kind!The service was unparalleled! They went above and beyond to ensure each meal was cooked perfectly, even offering a fresh side dish upon hearing my comment about the sour cream being too much for me due to my lactose intolerance. Additionally, my steak was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and juiciness.Our server graciously accommodated our lively table conversations, bringing out a meat board to showcase the cuts and answer our questions. No glass was ever left empty, and as a delightful surprise, they treated me to dessert and sparklers, and shots! What a sweet birthday gesture.The way they presented our dishes and tidied our table made me feel like royalty. I highly recommend this venue for a memorable evening; it truly exceeded all expectations. I eagerly anticipate my next visit!P.S. Don't miss out on the Brussels sprouts, and if you're a fan of gelato, try the salted caramel and dark chocolate flavors!Also, the server and manager were quite easy on the eyes, adding to the overall experience!Thanks everyone for spoiling me on my birthday.

The Cowboy bone-in prime rib 34 ounce was probably one of the best steaks I’ve ever had, and that’s saying something. Cut for sharing between three of us, it wasn’t even overly expensive, and it was certainly a big enough meal when combined with apps and sides. It didn’t even really need the bone marrow butter we added - but it didn’t hurt. Dean the beverage manager really knows his stuff too.

if you're an old white person that's never been outside of Canada, then you would consider this good food. Everyone else though, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.Service was decent, normal sociable people. Nothing bad, but nothing great. Just some normal people making their hourly wage and that's it.

A little on the pricey side, but the food was good.The server had to go around the far end of the bar to get to me, so it took a while to get the check.The tables have "comfy" chairs, so you sit a bit lower and further back from the table than is usual for food service. Makes it slightly awkward. It was a pleasant atmosphere otherwise.

Vintage Chophouse and Tavern in downtown Calgary is an excellent choice for Canada Prime Alberta Beef selections. The presentation of steak brightens the otherwise low light atmosphere here. I had the 14 oz. Ribeye with Brandy Shallot Peppercorn Sauce, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Forest Mushrooms, and Fingerling Potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection and a fine Italian red wine paired well. Service was perfect. Highly recommended.
Vintage is on my list of top steakhouses in Calgary. I have been many times not only with my wife and friends, but also for business functions. Clients that I have taken here absolutely love it, and leave with a lasting impression. The culinary quality and attention to detail is second to none. The scallops is always a must for me as far as appetizers go, and they make some of the best old fashioned cocktails in town. You can't go wrong with any of their steaks, and the chef always recommends the best way to enjoy them based on cut, age, and marbling. If you are new to town and want to see a true Calgary gem, look no further.

This is one of the fancier restaurants that I have visited, and it certainly met my expectations.Vintage is the kind of restaurant you reserve for special occasions that happen once in while, maybe like a date or a birthday. The prices are pretty high so definitely not casual dining!The service I received wasn’t amazing, but it was great nonetheless. It met my expectations in where it matters but nothing excellent struck me as exceeding those standards. Though, I really enjoyed how they showed us the cuts and explained how each one is best enjoyed in their restaurant.Atmosphere was great, it had a mix of fancy and party vibes with its music and lighting. I do wish however that the washrooms were abit cleaner..Finally the food, I think that everything I ordered was amazing. The ribeye steak had a nice crust, was tender, juicy, and cooked medium rare just as I asked for, and the bone marrow butter just elevates the flavours with a touch of its own! The lobster add on was also great, I do wish the butter had a little more salt to it but it was still good otherwise.Overall, Vintage is pretty expensive, but I will have to recommend visiting at least once if you are in Calgary and try their steaks. Just be prepared to spend a lot, the food quality and portions I would say fit the price. But you can be the judge of that once you sit at one of their tables.I know for sure I will eat here sometime again in the future, and maybe even try out their Wagyu cuts!

Dined in for dinner on Valentine’s Day weekend with my gf and was pleasantly surprised with the service and deliciousness of the food - I had never been here before. Our server, Constantine, was great and began our dinner by showing us the cuts of steak available at the restaurant. We were served dinner bread and oysters for our appetizer, which were both great. As for our dinner, we order the 24oz “Canadian Prime Bone-In New York” steak and the “Roasted Forest Mushrooms” + the “Twice Fried Fingerling Potatoes, Bacon Chive Sour Cream” as our sides. All of these were amazingly delicious. Coincidentally, it was my first time trying a medium-rare steak and I enjoyed it very much. The rest of the staff that we were serviced by were also very kind and welcoming. Will definitely be returning in the future.
Service was very nice and the waitress always has smile. All dishes were really good.

I had the east coast oysters, crab cakes and prawn cocktail as appetizers. They were all amazing. The tenderloin steak was delicious, I asked for light butter when cooking it and they were able to accomodate well. I tried the broccolini and brussel sprouts as sides. The brussel sprouts are quite sweet but delicious. Afagato for dessert with vanilla gelato was the perfect way to end the meal. Not quite my favourite steakhouse in the city but will now be on my top 3 list. Would recommend giving it a try.

Amazing NY striploin, creamed corn, truffle and parmesan fries, fresh bun and butter topped off by a fabulous flourless chocolate cake and every single item we ate gluten-free! Incredible wine by the glass. Chris was a fantastic server and it was a lovely evening!

Overall the dinner reservation was very good. The dining room was a bit on the cooler side for my liking. The server was fantastic and provided us with information about the food as requested. We never felt rushed to finish our meal. I found the food to be very salty, but was told that I could request the food not to be salted again once its plated. The price of the meal was overpriced compared to other steak houses in the city. There were a lot of seafood items on the menu in the appetizer category, which didn't give my dinner guest much to choose from. Not sure if we will go back in the future.
