Saltlik : A quality steakhouse worth a look.

Recently my travels found me in Calgary, Alberta.   In the past I visited Hy’s in Calgary, a good steak, a selection of fine wines, excellent Alberta beef; an excellent way to top off a hard work day.

Hy’s in Calgary has closed it’s doors, claiming that “Calgary” has grown (see link) so on the advice of someone locally I visited “Saltlik” in downtown Calgary at 101 8th Ave (Google Maps Link)

A good selection of steaks on their menu, the french onion soup was excellent, the wine list was not as elaborate as Hy’s but let’s be honest who honestly needs 400 different varieties.    I went for the California New York, Medium Rare, it arrived cooked perfectly, with just the right amount of service, and perfectly cooked food.

I could go on for more paragraphs about how great it was, but I am no food writer, I just know what I like, and all I wanted was a good Alberta steak, a nice wine, and a good meal.   At Saltlik, I got it.  In a day where I experienced 4 hour flight delays, 7 hours in an airport, the steak was worth it.
