We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce). The only con was that the restaurant itself was small and can only take a few parties at a time. 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. Would recommend!

Great service and cozy interior…read more Food wise it's just your average Asian food but made "upscale". Maybe it's cause I am Asian but I've definitely had better and cheaper versions of most of these dishes. Galbi was the most disappointing especially for the price. Cocktails all hit!

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!

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.

I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

My wife and I love wood-fired pizzas, so we went with the rotisseries chicken pie for our main (to share). It came piping hot, topped with rotisserie chicken chunks, chorizo, red onion slices, mushrooms, a cream sauce base and a chipotle ranch drizzle. Perfecto! They are also well known for their actual rotisserie chicken dish...but we'll have to save that for the next time.

I visited this restaurant recently and unfortunately it didn't meet expectations…read more The biggest issue was the kids' menu. The portions were extremely small, even for a child. It felt like the meals were more like snacks, and definitely not enough to satisfy a normal appetite. For the price, it didn't feel fair or worth it at all. The food itself was also pretty average. Nothing really stood out in terms of taste or freshness, and everything felt a bit rushed. Service was okay, but not very attentive when we mentioned the portion size issue. Overall, it's not a place I would go back to, especially with kids. There are definitely better options nearby that offer more food and better value for the money.

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

Hits the Korean street food craving! So happy we found this place during our travels in Banff…read more We went during a raining weeknight and it was fairly crowded. At first the restaurant felt small but when you go in further you do notice they have sufficient seating. The restaurant is divided into two sections. When you first walk in you order your main meal at the counter straight ahead from the entrance. To order specialty drinks and deserts you go to the other section of the restaurant to your right. We ordered the bulgogi chicken bowl, the fried chicken bowl, vegetarian chicken bowls and a couple of mozzarella corn dogs. They were all very good. You can pick the level of spiciness and they have extra sauces near the counter that you can add to your bowl. We also ordered one of the bingsu (strawberry flavored shaved ice with ice cream, and fresh strawberries). It was really tasty. We also had the muscat grape drink. It does come carbonated and a little sweeter than anticipated. Overall we were happy with our meal. Happy enough that we are planning on going again before having to leave the area.

Everything is served in a paper cup, and you can decide if you want to dine-in at one of their small tables or take it to-go. Bowl #1 Korean BBQ bowl was the best, with marinated beef, egg strips, salad, and white rice. The menu said it was pork, but it tasted like beef to us. Bowl #6 Korean fried chicken and dumplings bowl was not bad, but the fried chicken wasn't Korean fried chicken. Korean fried chicken usually has a crispy coating and sometimes with a sweet and spicy glaze. Their "Korean fried" chicken had neither (1/2 star off). I still enjoyed the bowl, but it was more like a regular chicken and dumplings bowl. You can request to top your own sauce. They have bottles of garlic mayo, sweet chili sauce, ketchup, etc. in front for you to add as much as you want. This also means that the tables can be left with smears of random sauces. The staff does not clean tables (1/2 star off), so I had to do a thorough wipe-down of a sticky table before sitting down. After your meal, you can also try their bingsoo (Korean shaved ice). Those are probably sticky too...
