The main was a 6 or 10oz steak or upgraded ribs. Appetizers were mash potato, carrots and cabbage. And dessert was crème brule or a chocolate mud pie that was a chocolate ice cream.

We love festive and cheesy. So this was not the place. But cool matches as a restaurant souvenir.

We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal.

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

5/5 -- Outstanding Experience at The Maple Leaf!…read more We had an incredible Birthday Dinner for our daughter at The Maple Leaf, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server and bartender, Megan. She was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and spot-on with her recommendations for both drinks and appetizers. We started the evening with a Maple Old Fashioned, which was perfectly balanced and set the tone for the night. For starters, we ordered the Fior Loaf Buttered Cheese Bread, which was warm, well-seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Our family tried a variety of entrées, and every single one impressed: * Maple Salmon Prawns - flavorful and beautifully prepared * Mafalda Limone Pasta - bright, creamy, and comforting * Roasted Harvest Chicken - cooked perfectly with great seasoning * Bison Burger - juicy, unique, and packed with flavor To finish, we indulged in dessert with the Maple Crème Brûlée and the Hot Chocolate Soufflé--both outstanding and the perfect ending to a great meal. Overall, The Maple Leaf delivered an exceptional dining experience. Amazing food, warm ambiance, and standout service from Megan made this one of the best meals we've had.

We've been there for breakfast, lunch, and supper on different occasions, and every single visit has been consistently solid. The service is always good--friendly, attentive, and never overbearing. You can tell the staff take pride in what they're doing. Seating is comfortable with a clean, modern setup that makes it easy to relax no matter what time of day you're there. And the food? Always delicious. Whether it's a morning meal, a mid-day stop, or a full dinner, everything we've ordered has come out well-prepared and full of flavour. They don't cut corners, and it shows. Overall, Brazen has earned its spot on our regular Banff stops. Great food, good service, and a dependable experience every time. Highly recommend.

Came here for happy hour drinks and a distillery tour…read more Happy hour drinks are very affordable. I loved the Rootbeer + 2 shots of vanilla vodka. The Distillery tour was a bit underwhelming since it was only a viewing of Penny and a room behind that. However, you could have a tasting of 4 of their unique beverages. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed the Maple Rye (which was never something I considered myself to like). I bought one as a gift. Another fun add-on to the tour is to create your own bottle of gin. As we learned, Gin is quite literally vodka with a teabag, so you get to customize your own infusion blend for the gin. This is in a full size bottle of liquid, so ensure that you have additional space/weight in your luggage because not only is it a large amount of alcohol, but also a heavy glass bottle. Grace was a great guide for this tour/experience!

Juniper Bistro is, without question, one of the best dining experiences we had in Banff and…read morefrankly, one of the best breakfasts we've had anywhere. We were on our honeymoon and ended up dining at Juniper three separate times during our trip. That alone should say something. The food quality, consistency, and service were exceptional every single visit. Our server, Hera, delivered service that genuinely surpassed what we've experienced at multiple Michelin-starred restaurants. Attentive without hovering, warm, knowledgeable, and effortlessly professional, she made each meal feel special and memorable. On a honeymoon, that level of care matters, and she nailed it. The food deserves its own spotlight. The Eggs Benedict is the best we've ever had. Perfectly executed, balanced, rich without being heavy, and clearly made with intention. The Churro French Toast is unforgettable: indulgent, crisp, soft, and expertly seasoned. Every dish felt thoughtfully crafted, not just "good for a hotel restaurant," but genuinely outstanding by any standard. We regularly dine at Michelin-recognized restaurants, and while Juniper Bistro is not Michelin-listed, the food quality here was better than many Michelin meals we've had. That's not hyperbole, it's an honest comparison.
