Very odd. Anyway, the striploin steak was $72 and the salmon was $62 we were told appetizers were about $30 and sides were $14 just as an FYI We really just don't eat that much food so we are going to go ala carte. While not as friendly as our server in Louiza last night, we did get our entrees fairly quickly and they were served hot. I ordered the sockeye salmon and it was served with broccolini and some potatoes and husband had the 12 Oz strip loin with asparagus. Everything was tasty. $176 before tip with one beer and one wine. The restaurant does have a lovely patio but it was primarily in the sun- and even at 65 degrees that gets hot, so we opted for the indoor seating. You still have an amazing view!

Service was friendly and good.

Such unique toppings that work soooo well together. Cheese, jalapenos, tomatoes, olives, peppers, onion, black beans, sweet chili sauce, sour cream, avocado cream, strawberries, quinoa, chickpeas, turmeric cauliflower. A little skimpy with the beans, quinoa, chickpeas but overall just WOW. Enough for at least 3 people. Too much for 2 people - we had to leave a bunch of chips and we were Stuffed.

We celebrated our elopement here with the parents and had an enjoyable dinner. The quality and…read morepresentation of the food were nice, albeit pricey, and everything was tasty. The menu was definitely on the more decadent side. It was hard to find truly healthy options; the broccolini and carrots were both very buttery (but delicious), the vegetarian tofu chickpea entree was fried, and the fish had a heavy cream sauce. Most dishes were a bit heavy handed with the salt for me. However, the colors and freshness really helped that. My parents raved about the perfectly seared scallops, and the mushroom risotto had such a delightful umami flavor while still being pretty light (that risotto was probably the least heavy dish of the evening aside from the avocado salad and prawn appetizers). The Alberta beef tenderloin was better in texture and flavor than the chimichurri steak (which was on the drier side) and got a thumbs up from the FIL! The service was aimed at being refined and polished, but there were quite a few slip ups that made me wonder if they were training the service team since it wasn't that busy. The wait staff were friendly with bright personalities, but our sides were forgotten until we asked about them halfway through the entrees, and then we had to ask for serving spoons. Our empty water glasses were unnoticed, so we had to ask for refills multiple times; I would probably request a carafe at the table if you tend to drink a lot of water. We also put a note about celebrating when submitting the reservation, and the waiter seemed surprised and congratulated us when we were clinking our glasses together during the meal. One would expect a personal touch for such a grand hotel and restaurant like a note or just a mention of congratulations upon entry, but maybe I'm just being picky and comparing to other destinations I've been to. Overall, Fairview serves decadent delicious food. I would still return if we ever stay at the Fairmont again for a slightly fancier meal for two but maybe not for a bigger group or to celebrate a big event... and to try some dessert too!

The space used to be the original lobby from 1888 but now occupies the bar. We've had the pleasure of visiting fantastic bars in a lot of places but Rundle Bar is special. The service level is as good as it can be. The staff makes you feel like you're in their home. They're incredibly attentive but not annoying. We had great conversation with many of the them and they genuinely care about you having a memorable experience. The views on the patio (alfresco terrace) are as epic as it gets with views of the breathtaking mountains everywhere you look. It's been named the best patio in Canada for years and you will see why when you walk out of the beautiful Rundle Bar onto the patio. The menu is made up of classics and signature creations. I had the Ember which is an old fashioned variation made up of high quality spirits and an infused maple syrup it was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. It didn't hurt that it came with a smoke show. It was so good that I have to create a separate post with photos and videos vs. detailing it here. Trust me, it's gorgeous!!! Banff has been on my list forever and I finally visited. The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel was equally a place I needed to experience and it didn't disappoint. The Rundle Bar was a bonus I wasn't expecting so make sure you make time to visit this magical place when you finally check Banff off of your list. I'm definitely going back with my beautiful wife because we have to experience it together. You need to go. Salute @thejohnnycocktail

I liked our server, even though he forgot I had asked for a salad instead of fries and he had to be reminded we wanted a to go box for my wife's pizza. We got to chat with him for a couple of minutes, nice guy. I think he is just someone who is easily distracted.

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!

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!

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.
