Yall. This is a steal. $185 CAD for a huge dinner trying historic fan faves with a view of the Rockies and great service. Loved the lentils (which shocked me because I don't really care for lentils) and the amuse bouche could've been my meal. It was some beet gazpacho that tasted like heaven. I also don't like gazpacho so... The tenderloin was fantastic. The king crab was so inventive and all were beautifully presented. I'm not a fish person so I can't speak to the fish course, but my mom ate hers and mine so that seems telling. Dessert was A+. Every course was delicious and Matt was knowledgeable and enjoyable. My mom was a little surprised when she ordered a glass of wine that it was $36 when the bill came (there weren't prices for by the glass that they showed us), but that was the only hiccup. Shocked this is closing and not reopening. read more

The place: bummer that this place is closing, because the service, the views, the experience - all were top notch and it was a great way to spend a milestone birthday. Robert was a knowledgeable sommelier and it was entertaining listening to him talk about wines, even if we opted for mocktails/cocktails to accompany this dinner. The taste: scrumptious, delectable, delicate, thoughtfully edited dishes. In addition to the 6 courses, we had an amuse bouche, a palate cleanser, and I think they surprised us with an extra dessert or two. It was decadent. Delicious - favorites were the sprouted lentil, the tenderloin, and the lobster emulsion and brioche. Yum. My face: very reasonably priced, so a big smile - and maybe a yawn, as it was a more than 3 hour dinner experience. Tasting menu for two came out to something like $300. Gotta love the exchange rate. read more

If you're considering this place but worried about the prices, I would definitely say that this is an investment. Save this place for a very special occasion and invest in the experience. You will be spending about $600+ CAD for two people for the 4-course dinner and the wine pairing. We had sticker shock, but ultimately, I am glad that we did it and I do believe it is worth it. This is fine dining to the absolute highest degree. This is by far probably the best meal, service, ambiance, and experience that I have ever had. We did the four-courses with the wine pairing. There is a sommelier that personally comes to your table as well as a server, host, etc. People are checking in on you often, and they do the absolute most. If you want to absolutely have a luxurious experience, this is it. Everything was incredible. I am very grateful to have been able to have a meal here and I will remember it forever. read more

I had some hope that this would be a great meal. The price tag surely should have ensured one. The setting, the view, the services, and the presentation all made this meal appeared to be a spectacular meal but when it came down to taste, I was simply disappointed. The flavors didn't seem to blend well and did not highlight the ingredients. We tried the grande degustation 8 courses meal for $250. First appetizer was the king crab with scallops. I can feel the texture of the crab and scallops but tasted barely any umami from the protein. This is usually my favorite course in a tasting meal but it was underwhelming. I wanted to try Elk and was excited to taste the elk tartare but I guess the texture of elk is not great and gave a slimy consistency to the dish. The flavor was also meh. The Foie gras parfait was decent but a little too sweet for my liking. There wasn't any wow factor compared to other preparations of foie gras I've had in the past in terms of taste. The lamb roulade looked fantastic but it was overly salty. There were relatively large pieces of sea salt on top and I felt the meat was already seasoned on the salty side and added the sea salt on top made it extremely salty and not palatable. The croquette was dry. The waygu and halibut were both cooked well. Not sure I felt they stand out compared to other meals I've had at this price point. The Camembert Beignet was not my favorite, it was again too salty for a dessert albeit that it is cheese inside. My husband and I both actually really enjoyed the sorbet palate cleanser more than the other dishes. It provided a very refreshing awakening to the taste buds while the other dishes were somewhat dull and odd in terms of flavor. Too sweet, too salty, not enough balance. We enjoyed the cheese plate made for our daughter. It made her very happy. If you are looking for dining with a view and attentive service, this fits the bill but for us, it is ALWAYS about the food. read more

Woah. This is fine dining executing their culinary prowess to their highest power. We felt wined and dined from the moment we walked in for our reservation. In all honestly, this might be one of the swankiest atmospheres I've ever been in at a dining establishment with outdoor views to match. We made a reservation months in advance and are glad we did, it seems quite busy during our visit. We went with the chefs menu and paired with a wonderful bottle of wine and their signature smoked old fashioned. This is the only meal I've been to with my partner where they had to basically be wheeled out since they were so full and tired. It was definitely one of the priciest meals we've ever had, and while it was a wonderful experience, we wish the flavors were as powerful as everything else around us. read more

The ambiance here is nice, good view of the mountains. The service was nice. I made a reservation and the table wasn't ready on time and when I came back 10 minutes later to check they acted like they were waiting on me? It was odd. The food was good but not great. Overall the value here was completely off. I have been to another place similar to this style and really enjoyed it. This is not somewhere I'd recommend to anyone. The little mini desserts at the end were fun and good. But overall the value here is just completely missing. We were upcharged $36 for truffles and they had absolutely zero flavor. read more

I didn't expect there to be such a fancy dinner spot in Banff, but I'm impressed! 4 stars for the food but 5 stars for the overall experience and fantastic service. My husband and I dined here for our anniversary. This is one of the very few nicer restaurants I've seen that offers both a regular and vegetarian tasting menu. For each, you can choose whether you want three, six, or nine course tasting. I'm sure the menu is seasonal and is constantly changing. When we dined at the end of Aug, these were the dishes I had as part of the six course tasting menu ($175 for the chef tasting menu and $125 for the vegetarian version): Amuse bouche - asparagus wrapped in garganelli Foie gras terrine - this was very smooth and rich, but I wasn't quite sure how to eat it (by itself or with bread). I asked to sub out the goat cheese panna cotta for this dish as I don't like goat cheese, and they were very accommodating. Veal sweet bread with boar belly - the boar belly was delicious, and I loved the squash on the side Cantaloupe and honey granita (similar to shaved ice) - good cantaloupe flavor but would've preferred the sorbet on the menu Sablefish with garlic aioli and mushrooms - this dish was really good. Different types of mushrooms which were all very fresh, and even the garlic aioli was really good. Loved the tender sablefish slices Beef tenderloin - super tender, but the beef short rib was too salty Opalys cremeaux (dessert) Complimentary dessert - we got a couple extra bite-sized pieces of dessert. The strawberry fudge was okay, mango marshmallow tasted like dried mango in marshmallow form, and the white chocolate truffle was my favorite dessert of the whole night When we left, they also gave us a goodie bag with banana bread and a cookie. How thoughtful! And I can't write this review without mentioning the service, which was impeccable. They seated us at the best table in the house since I mentioned in my reservation request that this was for an anniversary. They made sure to serve us our dishes for each course simultaneously, and replaced the silverware and plates with every course. All in all, this was a fantastic way to celebrate our anniversary. Note: parking here is done through valet and is complementary read more

We made a last minute reservation here and I accidentally made it for 2 people when I meant 4 and they were able to accommodate us. The menu only had 3, 5 and 8 course options. We chose the 3 course option and they were kind enough to make modifications sans mushrooms and beets. The only mention is the salmon was a bit on the fishy side. Otherwise everything was impeccible! The service was out of this world and the servers had a good sense of humour. The food was absolutely amazing. Would recommend and return! One of my top experiences ever! read more

Atmosphere - 5 Cleanliness - 5 Quality - 5 Service - 5 Taste - 5 Celebrated Valentine's Day with dinner at Eden and I must say this was my most memorable dining experience while visiting Banff. The atmosphere was fitting for the occasion with a carefully curated playlist for love in the background as you walked in and throughout the rest of your time in Eden. The views are amazing with the lush green trees and lighting at the bottom and snow capped mountains on top. The menu for the night was a preset tasting menu that started with a bread plate featuring the most amazing wheat bread I have ever had, focaccia and sourdough served with whipped honey butter, olive oil + balsamic vinegar and regular butter. Then came the bison tatare, lobster caviar, asparagus and mushrooms, bison tenderloin, a strawberry and champagne palate cleanser, then crackers and cream cheese and the chocolate deserts. Every single dish was divine, extremely balanced and just DELICIOUS! Service was as spectacular as the food! The sommelier was helpful in recommending drinks and I was lucky enough to try the 1963 port which was truly aged perfection and well paired with the chocolate dessert! Overall, Eden provides a Michelin dining experience in the heart of Banff national park. We walked out of dinner with a rose and a special gift from the restaurant. Absolutely loved our time here and would love to return on our next visit! read more

The restaurant has a beautiful view, as do many in this breathtaking area. My husband and I have dined out all over the world at all types of restaurants. This place felt a bit snooty, but the food didn't match. We spent close to $500US and had a tastier dinner the previous night at the famous pizza tavern. I'm all for a dining experience, but the core of that has to be exceptional cuisine, and that was not this. Disappointing considering all the accolades. The service was good. We did not do the wine pairing so cannot comment on that. read more

Celebrated my birthday here tonight and I must say this has been the very best meal I've ever eaten with the very best service I've ever had. The wine from Northern Italy, and the variety of flavors in the foods was impeccable. I spoke to a woman in the ladies room who was experiencing the same pleasure in her experience. This restaurant is a must try in Banff. read more

In a word, E X T R A O R D I N A R Y. ! ! ! When Michelin eventually includes Alberta in its Guide, this should get 2 stars. The food, the service , and the view were all exceptional. We recently dined at a Michelin 3 star, The Inn at Little Washington, and this dinner matched it in quality and service. A year ago we dined at a different 3 star, also at a hotel in the mountains, Memories, in Bad Ragaz. Eden is equivalent. We did not do the wine pairing, but enjoyed watching other tables receive a wonderful show from the sommelier for each wine. He rolled over a table, displayed the wine choices , and delivered an extensive college lecture about each wine. read more

Goodness gracious, where do I even begin?! Eden has it all--grandiose views of the mountains, top tier customer service, incredible plating presentation, and unbelievably delectable food. It is truly fine dining at its finest--not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience all around! To start with, the staff at Eden are truly committed to going above and beyond to ensure your entire experience at Eden is top notch. When our host found out that we parked our car at a parking lot that was rather far away, he offered to either have the valet service bring our car to us or have a driver take us to our car. We truly didn't mind the walk, but we really appreciated the thoughtful gesture. We were seated at a table next to the window, with both seats angled towards the view so that we could both enjoy it. It was a quiet Wednesday evening, and it felt like we almost had the entire restaurant to ourselves. We went for the 4 course meal--you can choose from appetizers, entrees, cheeses, and desserts. You can mix and match these items (for example, if you wanted to, you can order 4 appetizers, or 4 desserts, or 2 appetizers + 2 cheeses, etc). I went with 1 of each. However, if you order more than 1 entree, I believe there is a surcharge for each additional entree. Our host actually recommended not ordering more than 1 or 2 entrees because the portion sizes are pretty significant. This is not a tasting menu, so the entrees will be a full sized portions. There are also wine pairings to go with each course but we did not opt for that so we got glasses of water from the Canadian Rockies (yes, even the water is fancy). For appetizers, we got the Sweet Potato Soup, and Squab. The Sweet Potato Soup was delicious, very light and simple. However, I wish we got two orders of the Squab instead because it was absolutely out of this world! Perfectly seasoned, lightly crisped, and so so so tender. All of the textures on the plate came together perfectly and really opened up the palate. After our appetizers, I expected to go straight into our entrees but we were pleasantly surprised by a multi-sensory palate cleanser that included tea leaves and flowers doused in dry ice--this created a beautiful visual of wafting fragrant smoke across our table. This wasn't meant to be eaten but cleared out our sensory palates to prepare us for our entrees. For entrees, we got the Wagyu Striploin, Milk Fed Pork Rack, and Braised Veal Cheek. I loved that they had options such as Venison, Duck Breast, and Veal Cheeks--it just seemed to fit perfectly with the atmosphere and location of the restaurant. I do have to say, the presentation of every dish at Eden is so delicately prepared that I swear each plate is supposed to tell a story--I have pictures to prove it! Wagyu Striploin - the Wagyu Striploin came with potato, garlic, and broccoli--quite hearty and very filling. I enjoyed the Wagyu but I wouldn't say it stood out to me more than other wagyu's I've had elsewhere. Milk Fed Pork Rack - I was impressed by the tenderness of the Milk Fed Pork Rack and loved how they integrated almond and coconut into the dish. The almond component reminded me of foamed almond milk and went surprisingly well with the savoriness of the meat. Braised Veal Cheeks - this is a pretty hearty dish and the portion size is quite large. If you like game-y meats, this dish is for you. It comes with cauliflower and brussel sprouts, and I believe the veal cheeks were braised in Guinness. The cheeks were very well flavored but we struggled to finish this dish because it was quite heavy and we had already eaten 2 entrees. For cheeses, you can pick three out of their selections and I went with three different types of brie cheeses because I LOOOVE BRIE. I had the Brillat Savarin (France), Du Village (Quebec), and Riopelle De L'isle (Quebec). The presentation of the cheese plate was a work of art, so beautiful that I stared at it for a good five minutes because I didn't want to ruin it. The softest brie (I forgot its name) was my favorite--it came with these tea smoked pears that were the perfect complement to its flavor. For dessert, we got the Dulce De Leche (kefir, white chocolate, cauliflower), and Forest Floor (chanterelle, birch, Bourbon). My favorite part about the dulce de leche was the kefir for sure, it balanced out the sweetness of the white chocolate and was a great way to finish off the meal. The forest floor was such a beautiful dessert, representing a stunning actual forest floor complete with delicate flavors. If I could give Eden more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. If you are looking for a very special treat while you're in Banff, Eden is the place to find it! read more

Very high-end experience! The magnificent view, stellar service, and imaginative dishes are all reflected in the price. For "regular" people like us, it was a huge splurge to get the full 8-course menu... but totally worth it. The flight of international cheeses was our favorite part. We also enjoyed three appetizers, three entrees, two desserts, a pallet-cleanser, and unique breads (with 3 types of butter). I won't say the price; look it up! Excellent blending of flavors. What a wonderful, memorable meal. read more

We were excited to try Eden as part of our vacation to Banff - in short, we wouldn't go again Pros: - friendly greeting from the valet to the hostess. Valet was very easy - great setting, we went at night but sure the view during the day is spectacular - some dishes were standouts including the meat entree Cons: - overall, the food was just ok. For the price, not close to worth it in my view. We were close to $575 USD for two and we left really only excited about one dish - seemed pretty unanimous among diners there our night that the first appetizer - think it was liver mousse chilled - was just bad - my in laws made Brussels sprouts the night before we went to Eden that were far superior than what was served at the restaurant, and my in laws aren't good cooks... I'd skip this for the price - we far preferred Lupo the next night even though it's a more relaxed setting than a formal tasting menu read more

We decided to splurge on dinner for our final night in Banff, so we booked Eden at the Rim Rock hotel. Its one of handful of Canada's 5-diamond restaurants and the only one in Alberta. We booked the 10-course grand degustation, but it turned out to be much more than 10 courses and closer to 14-16. There were a few extras but one unique thing is that the wife and I were served different apps, entrees, and desserts. We had no problem sharing. I enjoyed most of the items, especially the game meats which seems so well executed and tasty. Service was great, but I wished timing between dishes could be faster - our dinner was 3.5 hrs long and the wife was getting cranky and sleepy toward the end. We spent the entire day hiking after all. Still, great effort by the chef especially in designing separate menus for each of us, so I would give 4 stars for food but -1 star for the pacing so 3 stars overall. My favorite dishes: + Partridge - carved in front of you and incredibly tender. + Duck - I liked the halloumi, pickled apple, and sweet components that came with the duck. + Scallop - Perfectly seared and the fava beans, chanterelles, and cauliflower puree worked well here. + Crab with Chili and Tempura - Not sure how else to describe the dish, but it had elements of crunchiness, slight kick with chili peppers sliced thin, and pieces of King Crab and lumped crab meat. + Trout - Cool presentation and unique flavor combos of hollandaise, carrots, and almonds. Good dishes: = Lobster - Lobster meat served with a foamy bisque. = Venison - Meat was tender and was like beef only leaner. Presentation a little messy with splatter of beet sauce. = Herbal Flan - Interesting way to prepare a salad - little greens and legumes places on a little square of green flan - sort of like a little garden. = Wagyu - It wasn't overcooked to our relief, and paired well with the wine sauce. Side dishes included salsify, which had an eggplant-like texture. My least favorite dishes: - Foie Gras - Normally this is one of our favorite treats and although Eden gave relatively large portions I felt it wasn't seared enough. The texture was on the soggier side since there was no crust holding it together. - Desserts - The peachy dessert didn't seem too impressive, but maybe that's because I took a bite of the chocolate one first. Would have been nice to get some texture contrast for the chocolate - I felt it drowning in sauce. Eden would be great if you don't mind a longer dinner for the grand degustation (3-3.5 hrs). If that's not your thing, it may have been better to try their regular tasting menu (7 course) or 3 or 4-course menus. You'll want to enjoy the experience at Eden at a reasonable pace, and not be stuck in Purgatory for too long between dishes! read more

Usually if the restaurant has a great view like Eden, Banff, food could not match the view.. Eden is different case. We had special sandwich and salad. Both were the best! Stayed at Rimrock, eating Eden is perfect. Elegant place with friendly service. Interior of the hotel is real special. Wall lamp shades looked like replica of Frank Lloyd Wright. High wooden ceiling and wall, chairs all matched wonderfully. And the view!, yeah, the view, food matched perfectly. Great place to relax. read more

Just outstanding! I don't think there are enough good synonyms for this place. I took my bf here for his birthday and it was so great that we came back the next day for dinner! Service was amazing from the moment we dropped off our car to the moment we got back into our car. They were so amazing and friendly, such an expert in all their foods and beverages, I have nothing bad to say. The food was also amazing. I did the 3 course the first day and the 5 course vegetarian option the next day. I love every single dish I tried. The trio of the small deserts after were the only thing I'd say I didn't really care for but it was a nice little bonus. We can will definitely be back when we're in Banff again! read more

The service from A to Z was phenomenal. I have never been treated so well at a restaurant. I was coming in with huge expectations for the food. Some plates were good others lacked in taste. They had a delicious truffle bread. The scallops were well cooked. However the meat dishes were a bit disappointing. They did however make a huge effort to redo one of the dishes as the meat was really tough and a bit over cooked. The wine pairings were out of this world. 5 stars fir service and wine. 3 for the food so that's why I give it a 4. Worth the experience for sure. Our waiter Julien was excellent and I highly recommend him. Thank you for the special treatment. read more

We had a five course dinner last night at Eden. It was recommended to us by our server from Ankor where we had dined before. The food was highway robbery. The ambience was stuffy, but the view from our window seat was nice. The service was timely but bad in so many other ways, and the food was minute and lacking in inspiration and flavor. The amuse bouche which is supposed to ignite the senses was like drinking a Jamba Juice. The best parts were the palate cleansing sorbet and the cheese plate at the end (which was an up charge (again highway robbery)). The wine pairing we chose was the premiere tasting which consisted of a taste from a $30 bottle of Russian River pinot noir amongst other equally not so "premiere" tastes, and a taste of a corked Italian wine. The Alaskan king crab appetizer was mostly a scallop and what could best be described as "Krab" (the imitation crap). My husband's lamb roulade was chewy and really didn't taste like lamb. When they gave us the palate cleanser, we were wondering why we had to cleanse our palates as we really hadn't had anything of substance to eat. Had we chosen the three course meal, we would have had to order a pizza delivery. The server was new and his trainer kept resting his hand on my husband's chair back while keeping an eye on his trainee. He made several comments about his own wife and then fist bumped my husband as he commented that he was a lucky guy. For the price, the service should have been top notch and more professional. It was nothing but. Avoid this restaurant at all costs if you're ever in Banff. You can do so much better. The price for the five course tasting with the upgraded wine pairing was inline with the French Laundry. Eden is not that. read more

This review will be quick... One of the best meals I've had in Canada! Food and Service was wonderful.

If there's one upscale restaurant you're going to experience in Banff, Eden is the place to go! Like a true fine dining establishment, Eden is just as much of an experience, as it is a place for delectable cuisine. I was in Banff for a few days this past winter, and after doing thorough research online, Eden seemed like the perfect, romantic spot for a final night's dinner in Canada. Luckily, the reviews and ratings did not lie: it was phenomenal. Located inside the STUNNING Rim Rock Resort Hotel, Eden is unique in that guests can opt for a two, three, or four-course meal, or for a Tasting Menu. Because I wanted to stay on the lighter side-- I opted for the two-course meal, and it was perfect. More specifically, I ordered the Bison entree, and the Chocolate Coconut dessert. While the portion size was on the smaller side, the quality and the taste were just amazing! Personally, I appreciate quality over quantity, any day--so I didn't mind the smaller portions at all. Everything was beautifully plated (the food was almost too beautiful to eat!), which really added to the experience, as well. My boyfriend and I shared a half bottle of our favorite red wine, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, which isn't always easy to find. Needless to say, we were certainly impressed and pleased with the wine offerings! To my regret, I do not remember the names of the waiters/staff that attended to us--however, I do remember that the service was spectacular! Between the sommelier, the waiters (we had 2), and the bus people--there was a steady stream of attention and assistance, always there when needed. And then that view. No doubt, one of the most spectacular views I've ever seen in a restaurant (or ever, to be honest)! Eden is perfectly situated within The Rim Rock Hotel to overlook those gorgeous Canadian Rocky mountains. Whether it's light or dark out, the view just doesn't get much better! If you enjoy good food, and are looking for a memorable fine-dining experience in Alberta, Eden is an absolute must! Chances are, you'll be talking about your experience there for many weeks, if not months, to follow. :) read more

This is 5 star dining. Not literally but actually. They have the plaque to prove it. And Damn Sam this place is super fancy. If you are planning on dining here be prepared to be pampered, be prepared to be inspired. The chiefs here definitely treat the food you're served as an elevated form of art. My friend booked this placed for Banff taste adventure purely based on the menu we saw online. We had no idea the treat we would be in for. From the first contact with staff you could tell that they were prepared to go above and beyond to make this experience special. Staffs attention to detail was unlike anything else I've experienced before. The atmosphere was peaceful and opulent. With an amazing mountain view but be sure to ask for a table at the window when booking. The large wing backed chairs are uber comfortable, which is good as the entire meal took nearly 4 hours to complete. We each ordered the 4 coarse meal but with all the extra surprises the meal turned out to be more of a ten coarse meal. Each dish with its own unique and complex flavour pairings. The wine list is substantial and features more unique wines then you may find in other places. That being said the wines are also a bit pricier then I'm used to but then again I've also never eaten at a five star restaurant before either. We did order a glass of sparkling rose' wine. As it didn't seem fitting to only have water with such amazing food. read more

We had an amazing meal to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant is located in a beautiful hotel, The Rimrock Resort. We did not stay here, but stayed at the Fairmont.

I enjoyed the table side arrived and the vegetarian tasting menu while my husband got to enjoy things like elk tartare. We were both pleased by our meals, the service and the view.

Review of Eden - Rimrock Hotel Banff If you want a revival to remember your fun times listening to P Diddy or 50 cent or Avril Lavigne welcome back to 2003 when ridiculous gastronomic pretentious windbags could rob dot-com millionaires from their less than hard earned money by plying them with "chef's genius creations" that amounted to an ounce of chicken, a dollop of jus, and an emulsion plop on a plate that they called "molecular gastronomy" that they charged oodles of dollars for. Sadly the nouveau riche bought this gastronomic joke and were happy to pay $500 for a meal that they left feeling hungry from but we're too embarrassed to complain about. The lack of food was made up for by the over pretentious service where every dollop of goo or emulsion took 5 minutes to gush over explaining every item with over pretentious obsequiesness . Mimicking Marie Anoinette these chefs disclaimed "Fuck the customers they can eat McDonalds " . The food world in most places has turned its back on this trend (read 'joke') and turned back to delivering really amazing food in real portions. So welcome to Eden restaurant at the Rimrock hotel Banff. A throw back to 2003. The staff are appropriately gushing as they serve you $30 glasses of white wine and $48 plates of an 1/8 of a quail that barely feeds you. Or pretentiously offers a five minute description of a $38 sweet bread that's the size of a sugar cube. This place, given the fact we've been through 2 financial crises and a pandemic, is a joke. A gram of Hash is larger and cheaper than their appetizer and more satisfying. I'm not someone who values a giant steak and "food at good value". I've eaten at some pretty darn nice restaurants all over the world and, as a high-end event professional , kind of understands the hospitality 'game'. I've spent my fair share of time working at 6 star hotels - trust me - I understand the service racket. But Eden is ridiculous. I left unimpressed, jaded, and hungry. I pity the serving staff who have to present these 'creations' with a straight face. Avoid this place like the plague unless you really are a dot-com billionaire and need a place to nosh while you plan your next trip to space. It currently exists to suck the life blood out of nice couples looking for a decent place to have a birthday or an anniversary while providing them the absolute least in a decent meal. I'm sure the Rimrock's social media slaves will be wiping this review clean imminently (read their five star obits that sound like their sister wrote the gushing reviews). Just do yourself a favour and avoid. Anthony Bourdain is rolling in his grave, giving you guys the finger . Get with the times and grow up. read more

This restaurant experience was quite like being in an SNL Saturday nite sketch. My husband and I are spending 5 days throughout the region, including 2 days on the Rocky Mountaineer. The customer service on this train and in our hotels has been stellar. The Eden restaurant has much to learn about fine dining and service. The waiters in their attempt to appear knowledgeable and " sophisticated " were pathetic. My husband asked how the chef was preparing the fois gras and what type it was. The waiter responded with " Have you ever had fois gras sir " it was a rather stunning question on so many levels. When I asked if I could consider my dessert choice and let him know later in our agonizing long dinner experience, he said "no not really we must get the desserts out of the freezer and it takes 25 minutes "! The view is nice but it was better in our room. Save the $ 350 and eat in room read more

Unbelievable service to accompany incredible food. Top this off with a beautiful restaurant setting with close-up views of the Rocky Mountains. It's not an inexpensive meal but you'll never have better service and the food pairings, amuse-boy offerings, and the playing and presentation make it worth every penny. We had a fabulous experience! read more

The service was excellent - no negative reviews on the service end. Wine pairings worked with the food and were enjoyable. HOWEVER, we did not enjoy the food. We had a fixed 6 course dinner on new years eve and were quite disappointed with the flavors. The food was presented beautifully, and was cooked perfectly, but we did not enjoy the flavors for the most part. One of the courses didn't taste like it had any seasoning at all. I would only order one of the 6 dishes again - which was the bison - it had a rich smokey flavor with delicious potatoes and sauces. The lobster dish was overpowered with that same smokey flavor and the corn that was surrounding the dish (we did not taste lobster at all). Goose was one of the courses - it had a unique taste and was cooked perfectly, but I'd never order it again. The desert was nothing to write home about either.... Although the service was superb, the food was way overpriced - I know it's new years, but it was not worth the cost. Perhaps if we went on a different night we would have enjoyed the meal a little more because we would have ordered what looked good to us, but 1 course out of 7 choices (we either had to choose buffalo or lobster for the main dish) is taken as an indicator that the flavors wont activate our taste buds and aren't worth the price or worth returning to the restaurant. read more

Worst restaurant ever, 3 hours waiting on courses, had a group of 7 and they did not care we had not received food for hours after our 1st appetizers. Then everyone felt sick after eating the food. Do Not Eat Here !! read more

360 wonderful experience. The View. The Food. The personable and kind service. THIS is what fine dining should be like all the time. My boyfriend and I came in for a 4 course meal and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The aesthetics, balance of flavors, and the fresh hints of what Banff had to offer were so wonderfully constructed that it was difficult for us to disrupt the harmony on our plates. However, we found it progressively harder to wait especially when our seared Foie Gras was served. I have eaten foie gras many times in my day, but this was by far the most generous serving I've ever had the privilege of consuming. Every dish we had was exciting, surprising and well worth it. You can bet that the next time I find myself in Banff, I will have a reservation waiting for me upon my arrival. I look forward to my next meal at Eden. read more

WOW. I wish I could seriously rate this place more than 5 stars because it's so exceptional. Not only does it have one of the best views in Banff, but the food is a work of art and the service is A+. Do yourself a favor and do the chef's tasting menu with no alterations or substitutions along with the wine pairing. They offer substitutions, but be adventurous and trust the chefs. The wines paired with each plate were thoughtfully curated to match the flavor profile of each dish to perfection. I consider myself to have a pretty well rounded palate and enjoyed every dish. The service team was exceptional, friendly and proactive. The icing on the cake was when the manager walked us out to the front of the building and already had our valet car pulled up and waiting for us. No that's service! I'd highly recommend this place and plan to return on my next trip to the mountains. read more

Unbelievable service, great food, they moved us to a table w an incredible view w/o us asking. I had tasting menu an d they jet me substitute main course so I got to try the bison which was awesome. The pheasant was ridiculously good. My girl had the lamb it was awesome. The breads and butters were great. There's a lot of extra little mini courses thrown in as well including a macaroon based cookie which was outta this world. Highly recommend. The only ding is that they take too long between courses and the price is a bit high read more

Staying at the Rimrock we decided to try this restaurant as others in our group had said it was amazing. We did the three course option the food was very good with interesting mixes of flavors and the service was impeccable...until it wasn't. There were three of us in our party and we asked to split the bill to put it on two separate room charges. The server became rude and seemed put out that he had to recalculate the bill. On our way out we overheard him bad-mouthing us to his colleagues in the back room. This unfortunate event completely soured our fine dining experience, before which we were thoroughly enjoying. We won't be back. read more
