Copperhouse Eatery + Lounge

I placed a takeout order last night for prime rib and tuna tataki. While the interaction at the pickup window could use some customer service polish, everyone has off days, so I didn’t think much of it. What did concern me was that the bag handed to me was wet along the bottom and corner. I assumed it was just condensation and didn’t worry about it, until I got home. Unfortunately, it became clear the order had been stored or handled on its side. The tuna tataki was compressed into one corner of the container, and the jus from the prime rib had leaked out entirely, soaking through the paper bag and even into my vehicle seat. On top of that, the Yorkshire pudding listed with the prime rib was missing, as was the horseradish I paid extra for. This was the first time I’ve tried takeout here in a couple of years after previously receiving burnt pizza, and it doesn’t seem like much has improved. It was a pretty disappointing experience overall. Also, as a final note, in my opinion, prime rib shouldn’t have grill marks. It’s not a steak. I hope this feedback helps improve future service, but as it stands, takeout quality definitely needs attention.

Great place to eat. Thanks Paul and team. The pizza was fantastic. Always great service

Copper House was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the service stood out — friendly, attentive, and on point without ever feeling rushed. The food came out impressively fast and every plate was spot-on in both presentation and flavour. It’s rare to find a place that delivers quality and efficiency at the same time, but Copper House nailed it.
Highly recommended — the experience was seamless from start to finish.

One of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. A group of 6 of us went out for a late dinner. At first we were told that the kitchen wasn’t open (this was at 9pm, restaurant closes at 10pm). Then they said if we ordered quickly we could still get food. Great, we thought.

We ordered a combination of appetizers and mains and asked for all food to come out together to help make it easier. It did not arrive at the same time, in fact one meal arrived over 25 minutes after the majority of the food had come. When the person asked for it to be cancelled since it wasn’t out yet, it was brought out right away. She asked for a discount due to the wait and the inconvenience, but that request was ignored.

Some of the food was decent. The drinks were great, although they were not strong. The ceviche and mushroom risotto was quite good. One friend ordered a quinoa salad, it was a tiny serving (less than a starter size) and looked like mush thrown onto a plate. One friend was served chowder which she had to eat with a fork until a server came by and we could ask for a spoon. The chowder was ok, a bit bland but not the worst. The other salads that were ordered were large and very good. The Arctic char fish that was the last dish to be delivered was terrible.

The servers were trying but it was very disorganized. Despite clearly explaining how we wanted the bill to be divided when we ordered it became very confusing for them to split so we just put it all on one bill and paid together. Overall I would not come to this restaurant again.

I just ordered the Chicken Mafalda from Copperhouse today and WOW — it was absolutely delicious! Having worked here before, I can confidently say Chef Fabrizio has taken the new menu to the next level. Honestly, this might be the best menu Copperhouse has ever had.

I was there yesterday as well with my friends — we ordered mussels, cheese pizza, wild mushroom risotto, Alfredo chicken mafalda, and the smoked Hawaiian Huli-Huli chicken. Every single dish was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. Truly impressive!

Even though the restaurant was busy, our server Krisha T took amazing care of us. She kept checking in, making sure we had everything we needed — her service was warm and attentive.

Big shoutout to Tim for consistently making the best steaks and pastas in town, and to John — hands down the best bartender ! Also, a heartfelt thank you to Grandpa in the back — your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

And finally, a huge thank you to owners Mark and Paul for building such a beautiful and welcoming restaurant here in Yellowknife. Copperhouse isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a full experience. Highly recommend everyone to try the new menu!
