    This is the perfect spot to watch the big game. We came here for the Oilers playoffs and we were not disappointed. First off, the rooftop patio is so gorgeous, they have turf up there, screens everywhere including a big huge screen and tons of seating. Inside the icehouse is more seating, so much seating that you're sure to find a spot. We came early before the game to grab our pick of seats and we had perfect seats near the big screen TVs inside the main floor. There are even couches there too if you just want to drink and not eat it's a comfortable spot. The staff and service are top notch here. Even with the overwhelming amount of seats and tables, the staff is so great at making sure our needs were met. They are friendly and interactive and it was a great experience. For food and drinks, we got some of the game day specials including beer and mountain joe (which is a local coffee / vodka beverage and is super tasty!!) we also ordered the steak bites which are delicious and come out piping hot. We also got the nachos which were pretty loaded with stuff and layered so you didn't end up with just a bunch of chips at the bottom which was nice. The fans here are also great to be around, no fights, lots of security too, and if you want to treat yourself, for $30 or $40 you can go into the Ice room! In there they provide you with canada goose parkas, and there is a bar made out of ice along with a throne chair for your instagram selfies. You get a choice of 6, 0.5oz shots of vodka. There are a ton of different vodka's to choose from as well so that is such a fun treat and experience. I would recommend this for someone who maybe is visiting Edmonton and wants that "winter vibe" without the commitment of all the snow outdoors hahaha. Overall I would definitely come back here again for another game day, birthday celebration, or just for some awesome fun patio vibes.

The staff were getting busy when we arrived after a show at the citadel but they were quick and made sure to still check on us frequently. Waters were never empty and our food came out promptly after we ordered. I was immediately drawn to the fermented purple corn drink (Ponche De Chicha) which was so delightful! Fruity but not over powering. A nice amount of ice and an interesting pineapple garnish to go with an interesting drink. We were also very eager to try the brussel sprouts, which were absolutely amazing! Brussels Sprouts Elote: honey glazed Brussels sprouts and drizzled with that chipotle lime aioli, and so much feta cheese. Plus I believe a portion of sales of this dish goes to the food bank. Always love supporting a good cause while enjoying good food. To finish it off we had to dip into the dessert menu and get the Sticky pudding. The sauce divine and I wished for a smidge more. A touch over salted but still delightful. I still stand by my review 7 years ago this place gets the full 5 stars!

    Atlas had a deal for a week $55.00 for 4 courses. This is a steal of a deal for a restaurant like…read morethis. We entered and it was fairly quiet probably because it was freezing outside. We got seated at our table and then we waited...and waited...and waited... So the manager came by and asked us if we need anything and I replied, "Yeah a server." Apparently there was a mix up with communication and whose table was whose. It is gorgeous inside. Very sexy. Plush benches, silver tones, and blue lights. This would be a great place to be seen after a hockey game or something. Finally with our fixed menu in hand and some water. The manager asked us if we would like the wine paring for no extra charge. What a fabulous gift! We started out with the black truffle and brie aranchini. This is super rich and flavourful. Great texture on the outside and creamy goodness on the inside. My husband and I got one of each of the salads - Wedge and Ceasar. The portions were massive, so I am glad I got the wedge. I could pack it up and it was fresh and crisp the next day. Dressings on both of them were excellent I got the black sesame ahi tuna and my husband got the petite filet. Both were excellent but if I wanted to finish dessert I would have to get this packed for home. Finaly onto dessert my husband got the chocolate peanut butter bar, while I went with the strawberry pavlova. Both were fine, but the peanut butter bar was super rich. The wine pairings were excellent. Great place, even better when you have a super deal.

    If you like your meat charred, your butter tasting of blue cheese, your potatoes full of cheese and…read moregarlic and your asparagus tasting of overwhelming tarragon, you might like this place. It was a bit too much for me, but we can't all like the same things. I think the staff might have recommended we not order two mashed potatoes, but otherwise service was sufficient and relatively attentive. Attention was given to my gf dietary needs, but no attempt at a gluten free bread was made, as has been done a similar high end establishments. Our waitress nearly gave our meal to another table, but fortunately was intercepted by another server. We arrived at 5:30 and got our meals at about 7:00. The ambiance was reminiscent of a high end pizza place- large marble topped tables to shout across. My lamb was a bit under done, but that was okay since I had allowed for that. I've had better lamb in my own home, but I admit I'm not a fan of char as the main flavour. It was very attractively plated and I liked most of the vegetables that shared the plate, excepting perhaps, one or two pieces of bitter greens. My two companions enjoyed their meals, both having ordered filet. The three of us wound up spending about $300.00, tip included.

    So we decided to retry this place after my miserable experience the last time I was here with an…read moreignorant server. I am please to say the food - which is always good, matched the service which this time was also good. We had a really great server. I like this type of menu where there was enough to choose from, but not to little to feel like you don't have a choice but not too much that it is hard to choose from all the selections. We split a bunch of menu items - steelhead crudo with Thai basil, citrus, chili, olive oil, apple bison tartare with tamari ginger vinaigrette, sesame, dashi cracker beets with goat cheese custard, pears, pistachio, tarragon vinaigrette tagliatelle, lamb sausage, smoked tomato, rapini polenta the posset and the chocolate dessert We also enjoyed a bottle of Merlot Food was excellent. The stand outs were the steelhead crudo and the beet salad. The steelhead crudo was beautiful and shining like jewels on the plate. And the beet salad was the same. I would highly recommend these two dishes. However, there wasn't a bad dish at all. I think that you won't go wrong here with the food.

    Finally got to try Bundok last night, and while the food definitely lived up to the hype (for the…read moremost part, the steak was rubbery), we likely won't be back. Apparently Bundok was participating in downtown dining week and had a $65 dinner. We were never made aware of that. First impressions were...exceptionally poor. 1. It was LOUD. Like, had to routinely ask my dining partner to repeat themselves level loud for the entire meal. We were also greeted by the manager, who barely looked up and seemed quite annoyed, while waving us over to our table. I also sat at our table for well over 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged by our server. It's a very small space so this definitely stood out. My husband had time to go get something from the car, come back, browse the drink menu a few times and ask me if we wanted to leave before anyone came to talk to us. It was a busy night, sure but...I can't recall a time I've actually debated just leaving (and leaving a gift card behind) due to utter lack of service. When our server did come, she was quite lovely and did fantastic through the whole meal despite being new. This makes me wonder if the manager forgot to mention there was a new table. Food wise, we knew we had a gift card so we definitely wanted to use that up and then some. The drinks were...okay. Nothing notable and frankly the wine selection is better suited to the meal (their orange is lovely), but I can certainly see why Bundok has won awards for its menu. Every item, save for our striploin was delicious and perfectly prepared. The steak itself tasted like its prepared sous vide then seared, but was very rubbery in our case. Could have been that it wasn't fully to temp when seared. The black garlic sauce was nice, but overall, we could have done without that dish as a whole. If I look at the meal as a whole, removing the benefit of having a gift card, I wouldn't, and won't, be going back. Why? While the food IS wonderful, the price you'll pay (don't get me wrong, I have zero issue paying for an experience and good eats!) isn't necessarily worth poor service, and exceptionally loud (seriously, you're in a repurposed industrial loft that's supposed to feel intimate, the glass beside me was vibrating at some points) setting. This would be 2 stars and a non recommend, but the flavour of the food saved it. If you're fine with super loud and want an experience, give it a shot, but there are other places in the city that are far better for an intimate night out, have equal caliber food, and quite frankly, run laps around the service. While we're thankful for the opportunity, we'll happily pass on going back.

The ambience is a nice mix you can sit up front where it feels like a Moxies, or you can sit in the back where it's more of a business meeting place with larger chairs and tables. It could be more upscale, however it does have a higher end feeling by the bar. The staff is friendly and welcoming, however watch out for the one waitress that expects large tips and will combine your dine in and takeout bills and then expect a tip for it all. Otherwise, will definitely be back!

The restaurant was completely empty ay 8:00pm except for my party of two and another party of six . The food was flavourful over priced and was very slow . The service was absolutely horrible and after asking our service repeatedly for our bill and told her I didn't want my receipt as we walked out she came at me very aggressively and throw my receipt at me I assume she was not happy with the tip . Completely disappointed and I don't recommend the Lux . If you're looking for a truly exceptional steak house try Barbacoa in Spruce Grove the best I've ever eaten.
