The place was completely dead and I wanted to relax, take a caeser break and get a little work done while my friends skied. No dice, I had to leave. I get when the place is packed, you wouldn't want people taking up space working on laptops, but empty? They seemed completely ok with me doing exactly the same things I would have done on my laptop on my mobile phone though... Maybe they dislike the way the laptop fold in two? They closed the kitchen around 2:30 so we didn't get to try any food... 3 stars for a hill-side place to drink caesars.

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.

The drink was made nicely--no fuss, no shortcuts, just done right. The seating was comfortable and well laid out, and the ambience is hard to beat. Warm lighting, classy atmosphere, and the kind of views you only get at the Banff Springs. It's the sort of place where you can actually relax, talk, and take in the surroundings without feeling crowded or rushed. Overall, a solid experience. Good drink, great setting, and absolutely worth stopping in if you're at the hotel or nearby.

Had a nice ambience with plenty of seating inside and outside. However we found it was a little chilly inside the restaurant, especially near the windows where we were seated. The staff was friendly, but we found that service was a little slow even though it was not busy at the time of our visit. We appreciated the variety of breakfast items. It was definitely catered to international visitors. However, the food itself tasted just average. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with avocado and tomato, pancakes, French toast, and the omurice. The eggs Benedict came out cold, the omurice needed some additional ingredients for flavoring, and the pancakes and French toast came out dry. They charged us extra for a little tablespoon of extra maple syrup. The only tasty item was the smashed potatoes. Overall, would not recommend this place. It didn't seem like the price matched the quality of the food or the service.

There are two BankHead Restaurant locations - Canmore and Sherwood Park. Bankhead Restaurant and…read moreLounge offers a versatile environment with its fusion cuisine, whether it be a romantic or family dinner. It's a great spot if you're looking for a mix of international and Western flavors. Reservations can be made directly from their homepage via TouchBistro. There are about 10 spots available in the private parking lot. While it was too cold to enjoy the patio during our visit, outdoor dining is available in warmer weather, and the mountain views from the restaurant are stunning. FOOD: 1. Firecracker Calamari (3/5) - Crispy calamari with sautéed peppers, soy, and sesame. Unfortunately, this appetizer had more side ingredients than actual calamari. It's shareable between 3-4 people, but I wouldn't order it again. 2. Canmore Pasta Bison Ravioli (3/5) - Served with a creamy au jus sauce, sautéed mushrooms, and parmesan. I didn't try this one personally, but those who did said it was just "OK." It comes with one slice of garlic toast. 3. Chicken Nirvana (4/5) - A coconut-based gravy with ginger, green chili, curry leaves, basmati rice, and Kerala parotta. The curry was a bit watery for my taste, and I wished the spices were more pronounced. That said, the parotta was nicely crisp -- always a win. 4. Alberta Beef Short Ribs (3/5) - Served with vegetables and gravy. I had a few bites and liked it, but something felt like it was missing -- I couldn't quite put my finger on what. 5. Atlantic Salmon (5/5) - Paired with a tarragon leek lemon emulsion and vegetables. I rarely order salmon at non-Japanese restaurants, but this was an exception. The salmon was perfectly cooked -- not dry at all -- and the emulsion brought everything together beautifully. The service was OK. The server was pleasant, and our drinks never touched the bottom. However, we had an early dinner time, and they were out of two items on the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. I'll explore other places before coming back.

However, during a more recent visit (June 2022), we were able to stop for a post-dinner beverage. Only open Friday to Tuesday from 5pm to 11pm, Ramsay Lounge is worth checking out after a long day of exploring the breathtaking Banff area and Banff Springs hotel. Maxime L. took great care of my friend and me despite it being a bit busy on the Monday evening we were there. Anyway, definitely stop and enjoy this tucked-away secret spot for yourself!

The ambiance was romantic and comforting and all of the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. I mentioned that I had a sesame allergy and they helped me to pick out dishes that have no sesame and even took extra time to point out lactose friendly entrees. The dishes we decided to order and share were the crab toast, the maple bbq rainbow trout and the banana pie (which I took lactaid for). My goodness, just when I thought one dish was great each one blew me away with how delicious they were! Out of the three however my absolute favorite was the maple bbq rainbow trout. The fish was so incredibly buttery soft I could barely pick it up with my fork, and just the slightest tap made it crumble. It was atop this creamy mashed potato with a maple gravy and greens which melt in my mouth. I cannot recommend Bridgette bar more highly! It was one of the best highlights of my trip to Banff, Canada!

It took us a while to be seated although there was a lot of room. The manager seemed overwhelmed and was flying around. When I asked him what he liked on the menu he answered eggs, which is fun because eggs weren't even on the menu. Food came out slowly and servers were fine i just think they could have used a few more. my husband had a burger with fries and i had the falafel wrap with Caesar salad. Hubby was appreciative of the burger and said that it was "fine". My falafel wrap was excellent. The falafel itself were a little mushy on the inside but flavourful. The sauces and the home made pickles made an extrodinary combo. Totally reccomend this dish. The Caesar salad was lightly dressed, fresh and crunchy. A fantastic lunch. Come here for the view. Stay for the food.

However our meal was not one of the first served as some of our food was missed delivered to another table. I didn't feel that the bread and butter was outstanding for the price as it was over toasted. We did like our main course choices as all of us cleaned our plates. The view was outstanding as we were able to see both mountain and river. Expect the cost to be higher because of the location and the view versus just the food itself. Well we enjoyed our meal we did find that we enjoyed other places that cost a little less more while on our trip. Also our service was not bad but our server did enjoy chatting with other tables which might have led to some of the delay of our food being bright as we were in the restaurant for approximately 90 minutes total time from sit down to paying our bill.

The bouncer then headed over to our hotel ahead of us and told them not to serve us drink or food!!! Really!!!

Small town, unfortunately some small minds. Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, think hard before recommending Woodys. The hotel may have been renovated by Marriott, but they have no control over the obnoxious staff at Woodys.
