Atlas Steak + Fish — Restaurant in Edmonton

Very very very seldom do I ever give any place 5 stars. However. This place deserves it. Actually! The list of reasons why is extensive but ill begin with the basics. No matter where you are living in Edmonton, you cant beat central. Location is key. Tucked away inside a casino ( I had no idea where it was originally) its centralized at Rogers place. Either a very short trip if you live downtown or an inconveniant drive for everybody else equally. Although in the Casino on the second floor we barely heard any noise whatsoever except for the lovely live piano that was playing for the evening. Matt, I believe his name was was extremely entertaining, friendly and approached patrons to ask for requests and played a variety of genres from his vast arsenal of music.

The atmosphere was just perfect. Not too much lighting and not too dark. It was perfectly centralized in the middle of the spectrum and I would say precisely what fine dining should be like. With a nice accent wall that brightly covered one wall beside the piano and open kitchen, the atmosphere was inviting, inclusive and private all at once. Well done on this point.

I ordered the 12 ( Fairly certain it was 12. It was the largest size anyways) ounce alberta steak with mashed potatoes for the side and my girlfriend had the salmon. I ordered medium. The food came at the expected time. Not late, not early, and perfect. I have to say whole heartedly that this was the best steak I have had in Edmonton. Hands down. It was thick and a tough steak to cook medium if you arent a seasoned chef, and they nailed it. The taste, cut, and style of preperation was on par. Superb on my meal! My girlfriends Salmon, in her own words were delicious. It was perfect portion, well seasoned and one of the best salmons she ever had.

The service was friendly, always checked up on us, including the manager, and was genuine. I want to give kudos to the manager for ensuring a finely ran restaurant and what will be a solid yes to returning. Price point most definitely reflects what your getting so prepare to spend over 100$ for your meal for two, easy. It obviously isnt in everyones budget but I do recommend it at least once to explore a new dining experience in Edmonton and taste some great steak.

Washrooms were prestine! Table was clean, cutlery was spotless, glasses had zero smudges on them and were actually quite ergonomic, very cool. This also was one time I didnt take too many pictures of the place because you have to experience it for yourself. I again want to extend a huge thank you to the staff (especially the cooks behind the scene) to creating a great homerun on all fronts. Well done. And congrats for getting my 5 stars. I dont give them easily, but you...

Tonight, I had the pleasure of dining at Atlas Steak + Fish in the Ice District, and the experience was nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Alix, the hostess, who set the tone for an incredible evening.

Our server, Yana, was an absolute delight—so welcoming, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about sharing all the details of the Valentine’s Day menu. She truly elevated our experience with her warmth and attentiveness.

We started with the Atlas Signature Caesar, which was assembled tableside—an interactive and engaging touch that made the meal feel even more special. It was incredibly fresh and authentic, one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had—10/10!

For drinks, I ordered the Passionista, a gin-based cocktail that was beautifully presented and definitely Instagram-worthy. My husband had an Old Fashioned, which arrived in a smoked glass dome, enhancing the deep, smoky notes—it was an experience in itself.

For our entrées, I had the High Country Rack of Lamb, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—tender, flavorful, and with fat rendered so perfectly that it melted in my mouth like butter. My husband ordered the Black Sesame Ahi Tuna, which was beautifully paired with wild rice and was absolutely divine, though I have to say, the lamb slightly stole the show!

To finish the night, we indulged in a delectable dessert that was the perfect sweet ending to an already phenomenal meal. The strawberries were incredibly fresh, bursting with natural sweetness. The ice cream was absolutely mouth-watering, its creamy richness complemented by the crunchy pistachios, adding the perfect textural contrast. Every bite was exquisite.

We also had the pleasure of meeting Adam, the manager, who was an absolute delight to speak with—knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely engaged with the guests.

On principle, we vote with our dollar, and Atlas Steak + Fish is somewhere we’d happily spend our money again. From the atmosphere to the staff to the food, every element of the night was flawless. This is a restaurant I will absolutely be dining at again, and I want to extend my deepest thanks to the entire Atlas Steak + Fish team for making this a truly...

Very,very disappointed. To start, this is not my first time here. After the last visit earlier in the year, I left a five star review.

I decided based on our last visit to take my girlfriend here for her birthday on boxing day.

The last time we were here everything was amazing.

Can you ever tell that things have gone downhill.

First off, we were shocked to find out that on boxing day, they did not have a bartender and cocktails were not available.

We decided that we would just order a bottle of champagne instead.

Management told us that because it was my girlfriend's birthday that she is eligible for a free desert, in the house.

I decide to order a nice ribeye, medium rare.

The first steak comes out, cold to the touch, as if it had been cooked yesterday and left out at room temperature. I let our waitress know and she immediately takes it back and puts another order in.

I wait a little while later my second steak comes out. Charred on the outside and blue rare in the center. Literally refrigerator cold to the touch on the inside.

I have had steak all across Canada. Even internationally. This was the worst attempt at cooking a steak that I have ever seen.

Even the waitress was shocked. The manager took it back to the chef (we were sitting right infront of the open kitchen) The chef scoffed and told him that there was nothing wrong with the steak. This Steak could not even be considered blue rare as it was basically still almost frozen in the center.

The manager suggested that I try something else off of the menu.

I thanked him and told him that I did not want anything. If a chef at a steak house can not cook a steak ( the manager admitted that it was a terrible excuse for what I ordered) that I don't really trust the chef's ability to cook anything else.

The manager compd our meals. Our bill was still well over 100 dollars.

Oh yeah, the free birthday desert?? Yeah, we were charged for it.

Whatever has happened at this place over the last year shows. The food is sub par at best, the chef's are very poor at the most basic dishes.

The server...
