Copperhouse Eatery + Lounge

We walked to Copperhouse Restaurant about 8 minutes from Super 8 Motel in the uptown area of Yellowknife and arrived around 4:30 pm for an early dinner. The restaurant was quiet at that time, which made the atmosphere very relaxing. The service was friendly and warm from the moment we arrived. I ordered the smoked Hawaiian huli-huli chicken leg. The duo chicken legs were marinated in soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and sambal sauce. The chicken was very flavourful and perfectly cooked, with a delicious balance of sweet, savoury, and slightly spicy flavours paired with the appetizing sweet potato puree. I enjoyed it very much. We ordered a pizza which was overly baked which they didn’t charged us for it. For dessert, I had the apple crisp melt-away served with a scoop of ice cream. It was warm, comforting, and a lovely way to end the meal. Overall, I had a very pleasant and enjoyable dinner. A great spot in Yellowknife for a quiet and satisfying meal with friendly service.

Incredible service! I sat the bar and was amazed by Laura (bartender)'s knowledge of wine and spirits. She gave fantastic recommendations and was an absolute delight throughout the evening. Her energy and passion made my experience even more enjoyable. Steak was cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with a robust red wine. Kudos to the whole team, as it was quite the busy night and I could see how hard everyone was working.

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.

Service was incredibly slow, nearly half hour to be seen once sat at a table and 45 minutes until drinks arrived. Food was great, but service inconsistent with multiple errors throughout. Payment options also did not allow for a no-tip option without override from the server. Hoping for a better experience in the future.

Copper House was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the service stood out — friendly, attentive, and on point without ever feeling rushed. The food came out impressively fast and every plate was spot-on in both presentation and flavour. It’s rare to find a place that delivers quality and efficiency at the same time, but Copper House nailed it. Highly recommended — the experience was seamless from start to finish.

Me and my boyfriend had eaten here a few weeks ago. The food was very good but the service was not top notch or anything special, we got checked on one time. I work in the industry and i get it gets busy and stressful but the least you can do is check up one time. On top of that when my boyfriend paid and ask for a certain amount back, $15 back and $10 for his tip, the server kept the $5. We didn’t say anything but that is something i will be watching for next time.

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.

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.

This place was good. The service again was fast and friendly. Sadly what I wanted to order was sold out and the menu isnt that big. The butter chicken I did have was great though. The overall vibe is cool and getting a seat on the patio is totally worth it! I would go back again for sure!

Decided to try this place for takeout as it was near my hotel. The beef brisket quesadilla was good. But the $28 whitefish signature dish was bland and sad. Found the service friendly, but I didn't get any cutlery for my takeout.

American/Canadian style dining with great selection and classy atmosphere. Great for date night, or friends outing. Came here for brunch and was quite impressed by the portions. The price is reasonable for the portions and the food is really great. We ordered the Smoked Brisket Hash, which is really good and filling - remember to ask for the spicy sauce, really adds a kick to the tender meat. Also ordered the Great Slave Benedict, which is quite refreshing have had many eggs benedict dishes from NYC, this dish is creatively made using locally caught fish and is marinated with birch syrup and smoked, rather than meat. Also tried a piece of the Orchard French Toast from my friend's dish and enjoyed the crispy crust. Make sure to add maple syrup for the full Canadian experience!

Used to be a regular but have been avoiding this place for the last year due to the plummeting food quality and service. Decided to give them another go this past Friday and it was worse than before. When we arrived there was only 3 other tables occupied. Took a very long time just to get our drink order taken. Then we sat there for about an hour and our order had still not been taken for food. Meanwhile, a server comes up to us and tells us there is only one server on the floor. The rest of the room is filled with people and ones who just sat down are getting their orders taken. I pulled the server aside and asked why and was told "we don't know who came in first" when he had talked to me an hour ago and had just sat that table down himself?? In the end we were there for over 2 hours before getting any food. They were still filling take out orders this whole time. If you are short staffed, is it not obvious that you should not fill up your restaurant beyond what you can handle?? I have friends that showed up as I was leaving and they were stuck there over 3 hours as well. Ridiculous. Aside from that, their menu as changed for the worse. All of the good items have been removed from the menu. The food is bland or cold by the time you get it. Also over priced for what you get. They want you to think they are a high end establishment but the quality of food is a 4 out of 10.

Good ambiance, food, service and pricing. Overall a good dining experience. There are some menu options that I will likely never order but I've kept going back for the items I do want. The drive through pick up is also a great option. The app could use a few changes to make it more user friendly, I've been unable to collect points more than once.

Stuck in Yellowknife for work and eaten at other places to the point I am sick of them. Decided to get a bit of fresh air and do something different. This place has lots of free parking and is large i side for larger groups. It feels a bit fancier than what I would feel comfortable in dressed in grungy construction clothes but yhr servers and owners are happy to see you none the less. So dont get me wrong. The food we had here was good, its just the selection that is poor. If you want pizza, they have that in spades and its pretty good. I had the beef brisket sandwich and found it delicious and a nice break from burgers. I would come back again for the brisket sandwich.

I have never had a bad experience eating there or ordering takeout before. But today, when I got my order of Chicken curry with rice and naan bread. I found that they put fries instead of rice. And forgot my naan bread. I thought that was weird so I called and the guy said to come to back to the restaurant and I get a free dessert. I said thank you and went back there with my messed up order. And they told me to wait 5 minutes for my new order of chicken curry with rice this time. Once I got it back, they gave me the same order I had brought the first time. Chicken curry with fries at the bottom in a brown box. And two small containers with curry and rice And naan bread. And they forgot my dessert. ‍ Probably won't eat there again.

Solid restaurant. I though the prime rib was a bit too well cooked since I like my prime rib medium rare. Spinach dip was excellent, green bean appetizer was very tasty. Chicken wings were tasty... But they Reminded me of Costco frozen chicken wings! The kids enjoyed the pear and arugula pizza.

Best experience in YK! Ambience is simple and nice. Food is gourmet pizza and a few others. Pizza rivals the best I've had anywhere in the world - thin crust, exotic toppings, terrific taste. We also had the Whitefish entree, which had an amazing 'fatoush' flavor - superb! Service was outstanding. Oh, and so was their beer selection. You will enjoy.

Visited after about 1 year since I was there. Heard there was a new menu. We were a group of six. Waiter was very pleasant, but had some issues with his order pad. Food was bland, needed lots if salt! Some of our "Spicy" orders were just hot - as in spice, no flavour though to any of the items. Entrees were not all served at same time. From start to finish it took 20 minutes to complete them being served to us all. Only thing was tasty was the chocolate mousse!

Amazing Place, tasty food, reasonable price! I am sure you will love this new restaurant in yellowknife!

Service was fine decor was ok, but if want flash frozen food, I would have gone to M&M's

We loved this place. The decor is very modern, great vibe. Awesome cocktail menu and a lot of delicious food options. We had the charcuterie and really enjoyed it, and will definitely be back to try others.
