    chewy b.

    Super convenient. Small but clean and adjacent to the lobby. The alpha burger was great as was the bison burger. The veal masala was tender. The chicken pesto was very fresh. All portions were generous and the fries were the bomb. We are sure they used kanebec potatoes because those fries were so good!

    Calabrese pizza, pepperoni, sausage and red pepper.

I ordered the boulevardier cocktail, which was good, but nothing to rave about. There was plenty of seating and our server was friendly and attentive. Maybe it's just not my spot.

We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

We then shared a Waldorf salad, which was refreshing and nice. Then we both selected red wine varietals grown in Canada. I had a Cabernet/Merlot blend which was super great. Would've never guessed it was from Canada. Next, My wife enjoyed a Pinot Noir that was light and complimented our entrée perfectly. Our entrée was the fillet and prawns served over a garlic mashed potato. This is an absolutely extraordinary dish. We shared it and it was just enough for two people. It is a full meal for one person. The filet temperature preparation was perfect. The prawns were extraordinary, and the garlic mashed potato made you curl your toes! Then we closed the evening with the melted chocolate soufflé, which was divine. Here's the one thing that they missed and to me it's an important miss. They use an automated system for taking reservations. And it kept asking for my name to which I said "Chris" and the automated system kept asking me what's your name!? So it asked hey fourth time and in my frustration I got playful and I said "Big Daddy." And it happily received my name and took my reservation. And then asked if there was any special occasion and I said yes my wife and I are celebrating our anniversary. I get that it may not seem normal to say "Big Daddy party for two". So I'll kind of let that pass because neither front door or upstairs Host was willing to ask. But what I don't like that was missed was our anniversary wasn't acknowledged. I was a server for years, and every host gave the server some type of chit or note to let them know if there is a special occasion. We specifically selected a higher end restaurant for anniversary. So somewhere in there, even if you weren't brave enough to say "Big Daddy for two." Someone still should've checked if you were celebrating any special occasion to which we were. Our anniversary. Our server was fabulous. She was super kind helpful and shared about her experience being in Banff. She made us feel great. My overall experience, the Mapleleaf is a great restaurant. But I'm scoring you an A- because you missed our anniversary. and that's why we chose you. So if you're going to use AI, you can't miss special occasions. Chris & Trisha from Long Beach, CA

We ordered two pasta verdes, one vegetable platter, and one bread and butter. The pasta verde was very bland and under-salted, to the point that we had to ask for salt, pepper, and cheese which our female server kindly gave us. The other dishes were fine, but some of the dips in the vegetable platter were either under or overly salty. We told our waitress about the pasta and she kindly said she would let the team know. Shortly after, a waiter/server came up to us (Asian, male) asking about the pasta. We told him it was flavorless and bland, and since we are an ethnically South Asian looking family, he said something along the lines of "this food is not typically spicy". We felt taken aback, as we love all types of cuisines, including pasta, and don't just prefer food with South Asian spices. We felt disrespected by this waiter, as if our viewpoint on the food was not valid. In fact, another review on Google from just a few days ago also presumably mentioned the same server (Asian, male) who invalidated their opinions on the food. He then went on to ask if we liked the spiciness of the Szechuan butter with the bread (?) and offered us sorbet, but we refused. They ended up taking 10% off of our bill due to our complete dissatisfaction with the pasta dishes. Ultimately, disappointed in the assumptions, disrespectful invalidation of our opinions on the food, and lack of flavor. Would ultimately not recommend eating here.

The steak was truly the best steak I have ever had and it paired so nicely with the eggs. This is my husband's first time trying poutine and I think this really was a great first poutine for him. Now the vibes are very divey but I don't know what I expected from a bar by night with live music and dancing signs everywhere. I can definitely feel a little bit intimidating by the people who obviously enjoy a nice alcoholic beverage in the morning, but the server was amazing and made us feel super comfortable very quickly.
