I definitely enjoyed the craft cocktails, and the attention to details. There was so many I wanted to try. My wife ordered a drink and it was really strong. Felt bad for her haha. We ordered the duck legs and my wife normally doesn't eat duck but she devoured them! I enjoyed them as well. We shared the dragon bowl because the description was interesting and it said sweet potato glass noodles, when they came out and we tried it and I was like oh it taste like Japchae Korean noodles! The flavor was really good and it had a little nice kick of spiciness to it. Adding crispy tofu is a plus! Overall, really cool date spot and the vibe is pretty chill. Service was great.

Our waitress Olivia was really nice and attentive. We ordered the Wagyu gyoza which were so good, well flavored, meaty and a nice crispy outside.

I liked the real chunks of cheese on the poutine versus the usual melted cheese and the fries were nicely flavored and crunchy. Very good meal

This was a memory I'll cherish.

The service was 10 stars on both days that we visited the restaurant is also huge and well designed , with airy seating and multiple rooms for different types of tables if you are in Banff area, I highly recommend you try this for a highly elevated dining experience at the same prices of others in the area Do make a reservation because they fill up quickly ! I would stay away from their kombucha because its just tasted like soda, however it wasnt house made, so can't ding them for that :)

What a let down! This restaurant came highly recommended for the food but every single person (word…read moreof mouth and read the reviews) said how terrible the service was... and I agree! The hostess sat me (party of 1) at the worst table-right behind the hostesses stand where allllllll the servers and people pass by. She never even asked if I wanted inside or outside. I asked my server if I could switch and that never happened. My drink took forever-it arrived after my appetizer. The best thing I ate was the eggplant fries app-that sauce was a delight with the lightly breaded eggplant. It had the perfect crunch! I also asked for more sauce and the server again forgot and was never around. I mentioned in my reservation that it was my birthday and nothing happened. I was dining solo and hoping that by the restaurant would celebrate in some way, especially since the reservation asked if I was celebrating... The food wasn't THAT good to put up with such poor service. I never even got a second drink - my server was all over the place. It seems like an overall tightening up would do this restaurant well- from hostess to the bar to the servers. Come on guys- charging $30 for a salad deserves white glove service.

Overall the food here was pretty good and on par with what I would expect from a pub. The burger…read morehad a house sauce and BBQ combo on it that was delicious. It's worth noting that this is a double smash burger. The poutine side with the burger was well put together, the fries were crispy and well salted. The fried brussel sprouts on the other hand were a little bit of a confusing dish. This dish is surprisingly quite light on brussel sprouts and seems almost more like it's meant to be a salad. In addition, while the sprouts are fried and crispy, the same cannot be said for the bacon. Overall, I'd like to see more Brussels, crispy bacon to better crumble around the sprouts and less arugula. The burnt ends were a pretty good dish but were little tougher than I would normally expect from a pice of meat like that and had a texture more similar to rib caps instead of brisket. They also didn't seem to have been smoked on a smoker and just had a smokey glaze instead. I really liked the vibe of this place, it's a very relaxed environment to come and unwind at after a long day out in the parks. There's a semi-private outdoor patio with plenty of seating and good spacing between the tables. I also really thought that the service here was great, the staff were all amazing and super friendly. Everything I ordered was brought out quickly and my glasses were always refilled without me even having to ask.

We tried the burrata, tuna tartar, ribs, seared cod, ginger beef, potatoes, roasted carrots, and crème brûlée. The special highlights were the ginger beef, potatoes and crème brûlée.

The restaurant is cozy and easy location to find. Bathrooms are part of the hotel and clean to use. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Banff and ask for Amy's table! She's so fun, hilarious, and attentive and will take excellent care of you.

Great ambience, lovely and (VERY) attentive services. 3 people checked on us to see if anyone is already helping or if we need anything. Ordered the prime rib toast (wich is unexpectedly very delish..favorful..balanced...unlike all those toast i have eaten before...omg, im drooling as im typing). And ordered french omellette (my friend is vegetarian and she said it's absolutely tasty and yummy and she is happy to see quite good options for no-meat dish). We went to 4 other places during our 3days in banff, this is the ONLY place she praised (not simply bc of veg options,but the fact that its delish). That means something! They also generously gave us lemon cheesecake as bday cake (it was my bday and kinda nice to have small sweet celebration considering i was away from home). It was also our last day and we went to airport right after this brunch . What a beautiful end of our trip. Thank you, bluebird team!

However, the people next to us ordered various cuts of steak and those looked unbelievable!
