Four key pieces separate us from a traditional steakhouse.1) We only serve ranch specific Alberta Beef. That means we don’t serve beef from anywhere else on the planet. We know our farmers and ranchers personally and respect the hard work they put into produce our beef. We like our beef to be, hormone & antibiotic free and pasture raised. Happy cattle make for better steaks. 2) We are one of just a handful of steakhouses in Canada that serves, Grass-fed, Grain-fed, Wet-aged, Dry-aged and Wagyu beef 365 days a year. Our beef is always fresh never frozen.3) We use an 1800o Infrared Grill to cook your steaks. Our grill stays at very consistent high heat versus a traditional open flame grill. The high heat creates a flavourful crust on outside of the steak and leaves a juicy centre.4) Our décor is warm and modern. The tradition has always been dark wood, leathers and a muted palate for a steakhouse. We broke the mold and decided to add hand selected music that reflects us!

    Managed to get a last minute booking here and I’m so glad we did. The cocktails were incredibly unique and unlike every other restaurant in Calgary, so tasty and well balanced. Had the tomahawk steak for 4 people and ended up needing boxes, incredible value for money with that item! The Josper roast on the steak was an excellent touch. Our server Julia was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable without being pushy or distracting. The music they had playing in there was SO fun and brought the mood up for us, helping us keep the energy flowing with our conversations. The service, food and drinks were all so perfectly timed, I’m massively impressed. Thank you so much to the team at FinePrint, you guys have very quickly become my go to place for a night out 💖

    Outstanding lunch — the food (flavours and presentation), decor and ambience, and all the staff were terrific. Fabulous food and service from Noah and the kitchen — I have a food intolerance and the chef went above and beyond to mark up a menu with things I could and could not eat, as well as items he could adjust for me. Also, it was my birthday lunch and I was given a piece of delicious cake and a birthday card signed by all the staff. Simply Outstanding and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    We had the most amazing experience at Hy’s! The food was out of this world but even better than the food was the service. Nikola took such good care of us he treated us like VIPS and made our experience one of a kind. Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for delicious quality food and out of this world service, we will be going back.
