You can often tell the quality of a restaurant by how well they do the classics, and nothing is more classic to a steakhouse than the #FrenchOnionSoup.
What makes our soup better than the rest is a recipe with a greater amount of onion than traditional. This makes for a perfect mix of salty and sweet! Loaded with fresh croutons, and topped with savory Gruyère and Monterey cheeses, the #SaltlikCalgary French Onion Soup is unbeatable!

We were at your restaurant last night. Food were great! But very disappointed with your service. Our dinner last for 3 HOURS! Unbelievable waiting period for our food to arrive. And to top it up our bills were a mess. The server need to revise it 4 times to get it all right.

User

Visited Saltliks last Saturday. We travelled in from Red Deer. It was our first time there. The atmosphere was great and the service was impeccable. I wish I remembered our severs name because she was a delight.

My recommendation if you’re going on a sunny day on the weekend, book a reservation for an hour earlier than you think you want. Or make sure you have no timed evening plans after. The wait for the food was well over an hour. We had no scheduled plans after so the wait for us wasn’t an issue. We enjoyed great cocktails and some free cheese toast (because of the longer than expected wait for the food) while we waited and when the food arrived, it didn’t disappoint. It was delicious. We are already planning our next visit back.

Very nice experience they had great food and great service

User

Not many patrons. Concerning for a Sunday at supper time. One of my favourite places.

User

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Saltlik while staying in Calgary from Edmonton.



We are both ex-service industry and eating out is literally a hobby. We were gifted with Chris as our server. The service was next level exceptional! The food was spectacular and the room was elegant, casual and comfortable.



I wish we had Saltlik in Edmonton! But this is our new favourite Calgary restaurant and will be back again and again.

User

It was my first experience at this establishment and it was perfect. The staff were gracious, accommodating and extremely pleasant. The atmosphere was upbeat and we never felt rushed. The drinks were spot on and the food both tasty and well presented. I would go back again and again. The grilled salmon was grilled beautifully and the side of gold beets was amazing. The filet mignon and baked potato with fire roasted mushrooms were cooked to perfection and thoroughly enjoyed. The entire staff out did themselves. It was truly a great experience. Our server Rodney was awesome, a very nice person to deal with while we were there. Kudos!

User

I'm giving this 5 stars because the food was simply amazing. Every bite was way above my expectations. However, the service lacked lustre. Our server met our basic needs but did not offer any additional information, including letting us know about the features. Typically at a restaurant of this caliber I would expect more suggestions, descriptions and clarifications from the server. The food was so amazing that we quickly forgot the negative first impressions at the table. I will assume that our server was having an off day and I would still highly recommend Saltlik.

User

I absolutely never enjoy something so much in my life ! our server Colin was the best server very sweet and so friendly I'll definitely be coming back I enjoy not only the food but the service also ��

User

Great steaks, great service and the key lime pie to die for but there is enough for two in one serve so share!

User

Great food... great service... great atmosphere.. never a disappointing time... with great steaks and the best wok fried calamari!

User

Excellent food and service! Pricey for the portion size so do not go expecting a Keg type meal!

User

We had 3 different steaks mine was filet mignon, medium rare and it was perfect but I agree with the other rater the baked potato didn't even melt the toppings. My husband had the rib- eye it was chewy and under cooked to almost rare. My daughter had the New York strip and it was tender and flavorful. The lobster mashed potatoes were great. Overall it was a good dinner but not quite as good as hyped.

User

Food was excellent as usual and would have given 5 stars but the service was quite slow. Apparently the server was the only one covering the whole back section, which I don't believe since I saw other at the tables around me. That said, I would go back and hope that the service next time will bee to the standard expected of a restaurant of this calibre and price.

User

The location was good being close to Theatre Calgary. The Chahuli (sp) sculpture was beautiful. The service was very good. But the food fell short of expectations. It was good but not dress up, drive downtown, pay for parking spectacular. 3 people had the 16oz special with lobster mashed and none felt was worth the $100 price.

Made reservations for Valentine's Day and was looking forward to a lovely evening with my wife. Had never tried Saltlik and was recommended by a friend to give it a try. We were thrilled and over the moon with the food. Steaks were cooked perfectly and came out in good timing. However, the service was less than satisfying. We saw our server less times I can count on one hand and waited over 20 minutes for someone to finally come over to ask if we wanted more water. At this point our table still had dirty dishes and no apology was ever issued during the taking of the payment. The experience was not up to the standards I was expecting, but the food was amazing and out of this world. I wouldn't recommend this place in the future.

User

Great food average service. Sat us out the back...I stared into the kitchen from my seat and then as various staff finished they came and sat near by and ate their meals. Got a nice bottle of red which was decanted but then splashed onto table and then it was serve yourself after that. Music was a bit disco like . Suspect poor management of staff on floor as venue looked fabulous. Disappointing experience but with right manager running front of house and some TLC I imagine one could have a great evening

Wanted to try this place for a few years now has I haven't heard a bad thing about it. Decide to try it for are 2 year wedding. That was a mistake. I made a reservation before hand and we were seated right away with a offer for free champion. This was the best part of are visit. After we were seated are waitress didn't come for 15 mins well we watch 2 tables around us get serviced a few times. We finally both order drinks and she returned about 15 mins with drinks. We almost walk out as we though we were forgetting. After sitting there for 30 mins we finally received are drinks (yeas we should have taken the free drink). We both ordered the sirloin's (one petite and one large), a side of mushrooms and cheese toast. Steaks were cooked how we wood like them but they weren't even 1/2' thick which if I pay12 dollar's a steak I would except. I have paid 10 to 15 dollars for a steak sandwich at a pub and it looked better then what was served at this steak house. If your looking for a steak dinner in Calgary avoid this place and find some where else.

User

Steaks were great. Sides were more hit and miss - fries and mash fine, but grilled broccoli was dry and tasteless and maple coat d Brussels sprouts just tasted burnt. Expected better for the price.

My husband and I went for dinner on April 1 to the Saltlik. He works at a steakhouse and thus I’d say we probably frequent them more than the average Joe and enjoy a pretty casual type of service and environment. We arrived about an hour and a half before close. The hostess made an excellent first impression. She greeted us immediately and offered us complimentary champagne. We were excited about the dinner and began being fairly forgiving when it came to service but as the night went on it just got more and more frustrating.



I was drawn to this particular steakhouse for dinner because of their Striploin with blue cheese butter. We started with the tuna tartar (which was very good!) and then asked what the cut of the day was. Our server told us it was a 12 oz. Striploin (no further explanation) so I asked for that with the blue cheese butter added. When the steak arrived, there was no butter. It took a while for our server to return and I waited, again requesting the butter. When the server returned with it, our steaks were cold so I asked for it to be put under a warmer just to melt the butter (who wants cold steak and cold butter?!). The server was extremely rushed and said something along the lines of ‘Oh, you’d like it more cooked!’. I tried to correct him but he was already off with the steak, leaving the butter on the table. Of course when the steak returned, it was overcooked. By this time, I just wanted to eat so I put the cold butter on my now slightly overcooked steak and didn’t say anything.



After our entrees were finished, we were contemplating dessert and/or dessert drinks. We asked for a couple of minutes to decide. Instead of speaking to us, our server placed our bill on the table as he walked by. We had decided on wanting dessert drinks and ended up ordering them from another server. The next time we saw our server, he arrived at the table with payment machine in hand and the new bill. When we looked at the bill we noticed there was no striploin and instead two ribeyes. There wasn’t a huge price difference but that was clearly not what we had ordered. The server proceeded to tell us that the cut of the day was actually a ribeye and he just didn’t know. He was mildly apologetic and seemed frustrated that we weren’t just going to immediately handle the bill. I had noticed my steak was a lot more marbled than usual and lacked the distinct strip of fat that the striploin has but didn’t think to question a steakhouse about their cuts! At this point, I asked to speak with a manager.



The manager we dealt with was Avery. Avery came to the table thinking our only issue was the mix-up in steaks. As soon as she got to the table, we realized that she was the manager we had heard scolding our server earlier in the night. She did so in a quieter section of the restaurant, but still quite audible to our table. We explained everything that had gone wrong with the night and she apologized and said she would come back with a solution. When she returned, she advised us the restaurant would handle the steak we DID NOT order and that if we returned, we would have better service. We were extremely underwhelmed with her response. Upon leaving, we could hear her scolding our server well within earshot of the diners again. It was unbelievably unprofessional and I'm sure mortifying for our server.



Overall, a huge swing and miss with us.
