Copperhouse Eatery + Lounge

One of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. A group of 6 of us went out for a late dinner. At first we were told that the kitchen wasn’t open (this was at 9pm, restaurant closes at 10pm). Then they said if we ordered quickly we could still get food. Great, we thought. We ordered a combination of appetizers and mains and asked for all food to come out together to help make it easier. It did not arrive at the same time, in fact one meal arrived over 25 minutes after the majority of the food had come. When the person asked for it to be cancelled since it wasn’t out yet, it was brought out right away. She asked for a discount due to the wait and the inconvenience, but that request was ignored. Some of the food was decent. The drinks were great, although they were not strong. The ceviche and mushroom risotto was quite good. One friend ordered a quinoa salad, it was a tiny serving (less than a starter size) and looked like mush thrown onto a plate. One friend was served chowder which she had to eat with a fork until a server came by and we could ask for a spoon. The chowder was ok, a bit bland but not the worst. The other salads that were ordered were large and very good. The Arctic char fish that was the last dish to be delivered was terrible. The servers were trying but it was very disorganized. Despite clearly explaining how we wanted the bill to be divided when we ordered it became very confusing for them to split so we just put it all on one bill and paid together. Overall I would not come to this restaurant again.

Probably the best restaurant we have tried in yellowknife and the pricing is very affordable too! Close to fine dining environment, and the menu is well thought of Pizza is super amazing, and the dessert is good too.

This restaurant offers two distinct menus: one for lunch and another for dinner. If you’re planning to dine here, I highly recommend going for dinner as the selection is more extensive, particularly when it comes to main dishes. The ambiance is one of its highlights, with a cozy, dimly lit setting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for a romantic date or a special occasion. The menu leans heavily toward Italian cuisine, featuring pizzas, pastas, and steaks. The steaks are decent, but the pizzas truly stand out with their excellent flavor and quality. Portions are generous, which helps justify the higher price point, especially for Yellowknife standards. That said, I wish the menu offered a bit more variety to cater to different tastes. Despite this, it’s still a solid choice for a memorable dinner in Yellowknife. Whether you’re celebrating or just enjoying a night out with someone special, this place won’t disappoint.
