    Service was excellent, food and drinks were average. We just settled into town after a long drive and decided on this place due to good reviews and an appealing menu. Our server Dee was more than accomodating with food and drink options, was attentive eventhough they were very slow customer wise, and friendly as we chatted with her about the area. We ordered a few drinks: the Sun Dog and Fiddle Mule. My Fiddle Mule was tasty but I decided to switch to the hazy IPA on the next round. My guy didn't enjoy the Sun Dog and I agreed wasn't very good. He ended up switching to an Old Fashion, but again it wasn't up to par. He did ask Dee to spruce it up a little, which she did with an apology, and came out better. I ordered the Rainbow Trout dinner and my guy the Fiddle Fish Pot. My dish was tasty enough and the Fiddle Fish Pot was ok, but better with lemon and had a strong cumin taste in my opinion. Personally I did not like the flavor of the sauce on my partner's dish but he enjoyed it. All in all neither one of us were wowed and said we didn't know that we would be back for another dinner. The main reason I'd come back was the service and to support a local established business that just maybe wasn't our taste preference. I would say try it for yourself as food was fresh and service was excellent.

    Excellent service, excellent food. All food was very fresh, and clearly homemade. Would definitely return next time in Jasper.

    Smoked seafood chowder

    Went for a Labour Day dinner tonight and generally had a good experience (older H&W fr Vancouver who enjoy good meals world wide). It was almost busy when we arrived at 7:15 and got busier with a couple tour groups checked in. Ambience was nothing special after a good hike up some stairs to the restaurant. The busyness was accentuated by the waitresses constantly rushing around. Our server was good and made sure we were happy to be there. A few quick food comments. The complimentary bread basket was freshly baked sliced whole wheat bread. Good bread is always a good sign. We had the meatballs and mushroom bruschetta plus the Fiddle River Flair salad and one main, the trout. All were good with the meatballs tender and hot, the bruschetta nicely sautéed. Salad was freshly baked sliced and the trout presented as a boneless filet not as the whole fish which is the way trout is usually done, but this was a nice change and no bones to pick around. But the one item worth coming back for was the smoked seafood chowder. Even though it was the smaller cup size rather than bowl, it still had all the seafood one could ask for and they made sure you had one healthy piece of each type of seafood....prawn, clam, mussel, salmon, cod(?) plus some chunks of potato and maybe squash, there was hardly room for the great broth. Maybe the best seafood or clam chowder ever anywhere and I've tried many! Photo was taken after consuming about 1/3 of the chowder. A bowl of this and the food bread would be a great meal for me!

    It is located right across from the train station, on second floor and has a lovely outdoor patio. We had a very tasty and tangy basil smash mock tail while waiting for our meal. Pam, our server, was awesome and provided us with a very pleasant experience. She suggested a wine for my friend and was very knowledgeable on the menu items. My fish pot had mussels, shrimp, two types of fish and clams submerged on a tomato broth with saffron, and had lentil coconut rice in the center of the plate. It did have a kick to it, so do not order it if you do not like spicy food. My friend said her fettuccine was Al dente and delicious. Excellent place to eat while in Jasper !

    Food was incredible had the stealhead trout with coconut rice and veggies. My mom had the bison medallions with mashed potatoes in season mashed. Had the maple pecan cheesecake was to die for. Service was one the best I've ever had we had a waitress named Joanne and she was so on it was busy, but she was always right at the table somehow. The look and feel the restaurant was very beautiful and relaxing. Absolutely loved it.

    First time in Canada! Found a reviews to try this spot. I wish I could give it 4-5 stars however got to keep it real. It was solid food for a small town vibe so I would still recommend if you're looking for a place to stop and eat. They do offer game meat if you want to try some different meat options. Unfortunately our chowder came with a layer so you know it's been sitting out for a while. The dish I would recommend is the Fish Pot, this really saved the experience for me. The mussels were decent too if you like mussels. The service was a little scattered and she seemed annoyed when we asked for extra things like more bread or utensils. She apologized later for being short staffed so that was nice.

    We ordered clam chowder, fiddle fish pot, salad, bison, fresh mussels, cream brûlée, ice cream cake, and fruit pie. The food was amazing and the service was excellent.

    Amazing food and service all around. A bit dark inside, but otherwise the staff was some of the friendliest I've encountered and food was too notch. Smoked chowder was fantastic and had a generous portion of sea food. Wouldn't mind coming here a second day in a row.

    Who knew our favorite restaurant on our entire trip to Banff and Jasper would be this cute little place we randomly decided to stop into one night for a bite. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was packed with flavor and even things I didn't think would pair well together, did. My husband and I scraped our plates clean. Service was great and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a good selection of wine and cocktails to go with your meal. I would highly recommend a stop if you're in Jasper.

    Calamari. So yummy!

    After a long hike in the rain we were ready for a tasty meal with drinks!…read more Since this place had great reviews we took a chance and wern't disappointed. I have to admit I may of groaned a bit climbing the flight of stairs up to the restaurant after a verticle climb up a mountain earlier, however the trek up was worth it. We were seated right away, and greated by Maddy soon after although wern't ready to place our drink orders quite yet. After a bit we had moved onto the menu choices where Maddy hadnt come back and was having a casual chat for a while with the bar tender so I walked over and asked to place our drink orders. Since they wern't busy and we were thirsty we were both a tad annoyed as we felt a little forgotten. I ordered the Cabernet and my guy the Rhino Hazy IPA draft. My wine was delishious although pricey for an 8oz glass. We both agreed the IPA was a bit heavy on the citrus notes so my guy opted for the The Apex Predator Ale on the next round which was much better. The food came out quickly where I had the Truffle Tortellini with cajun shrimp with Maddy's suggestion and it was SO good! My guy had the Alfredo with chicken which to both of us was a bit bland. After a while of the food being dropped off Maddy came around where we asked for some salt and pepper and parmesan which did help the alfredo dish. I ordered a second glass of 5oz wine, less than the already costly 8oz pour but our server brought the 8oz pour. She apologized when I told her was pretty sure I ordered the 5oz but told her I would just keep it. This place has good food, a nice kind of trendy atmosphere which is updated and stylish, with a good menu. Our service wasn't top notch but have had way worse and we thought Maddy was nice at least. The food and drinks are pricey but would definitely return.

    Great food, great service, good time!…read more Only issue is that the prawn appetizer seemed a bit steep for 4 prawns. Josh at the bar was awesome!
