Reviews for Modern Ocean in Calgary, AB
What a wonderful way to get impressed on our annieversary. My bf took me to this place that had the best food and service. The... server-Marina made our experience 10 times better. The appies and entre were toi good. You must order crab in the jar and theoctopus. The rib eye is so tender that it will melt in ur mouth. Make sure to save some space for a calamari though. When you gothere ask for Marina!! Read more
My wife and I went to Mondern Ocean for our anniversary dinner and we had a very enjoyable time. We rarely go to seafood... restaurants because most of them overcook the seafood and/or cover it up with heavy sauces. Not so at Modern Ocean. We had thesable fish and the sea bream which were both prepared perfectly. There was a nice balance between spice, seasoning and justletting the seafood shine through. The service was excellent. Our server Emily made a good wine recommendation and was attentiveand friendly. We definitely plan on dining here again. Read more
Food was decent. Sable fish was fresh and tasty. Ahi tuna was somewhat tough but that’s to be expected being this far from... where it’s sourced. Both dishes are spicy which is fine for my tastes. I would give the tuna a 6/10 and the sable fish a 7/10.Servers have mostly discontinued their mask use. The only real complaint I have is that the restaurant does not have a changetable in either washroom, and this being a downtown location - it would be problematic if you were out with an infant. We had tochange our little one in the car (good thing we drove). Read more
Food, service and experience were good! Our server was really nice. The drinks arrived after the appetisers and asked... immediately for a glass of wine that arrived when we finished the appetisers. Which was a bit of a bummer. But I don't think wecan blame our server as it looked like she had to make all the drinks herself and serve tables. Other than that the food wasgreat and our server really nice and helpful. The scallop risotto was really good, can recommend that! Read more
Had a lovely evening celebrating my husband's birthday last night at Modern Ocean. Our waiter was Howard and honestly, we are so... happy with the service we received! He was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. See you nextmonth for our anniversary! Highly recommended! ???? Read more
It was my birthday and we went for the Thursday special menu only to find out that they have the wrong menu on the website. The... server was passive aggressive, he was not helpful, smelled of old cigarettes and alcohol... you know that sickly sweet alcoholicsmell. It was surprising considering this is a classy place. We asked for a different server and Kate saved the experience. Thekitchen worked with because some of the items on the old menu weren't available but in the end, we had a great meal and lefthappy.

Calamari, octopus, scallops and sable fish were incredible. Fresh, perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Our waiter,... Ryan, was knowledgeable, professional and helpful. Others might want to be aware that the restaurant is NOT accessible forthose with mobility concerns. Read more
First time here. I’ve been to Modern Steak before and not sure how it’s different seeing as it’s the same restaurant.... Maybe different menus? It’s been a long time so I don’t remember. The dinner in general was excellent! There were 5 of usand we shared 4 appies, the surf and turf platter and a sablefish entree. All the appies were tasty and enough for all of us tohave some. My favorite appie was the warm crab dip. Huge buttery crab taste with lovely toasted baguette slices. The surf andturf platter had a little of everything. I say little but the prawns were huge! Almost the size of the palm of my hand. Verymeaty and not over cooked. Nice! The accompanying sauces were nice too. The umami sauce was very tasty. We were SO full butstill wanted a taste of dessert and the molten chocolate cake didn’t disappoint. It was the real deal molten center ofchocolate ganache. Not undercooked batter like some places make. That’s just lazy and unacceptable. The bill wasn’t crazyeither and service was excellent. Would definitely come back. Read more
