The service really stood out--our server was hands down the friendliest we encountered on the trip. She was the only server working but still managed multiple tables with ease, answered all of our questions about the menu, and genuinely elevated the whole experience! We ordered a variety of breakfast dishes, and everything was solid. Nothing was particularly standout, but it's breakfast food--you can't really go wrong. If you're looking for a reliable breakfast spot in Banff with plenty of options and memorable service, I would recommend checking this place out!

Worst Mexican food. For 2 burritos, 5 tacos and 2 margaritas it was $150! I didn't even know you…read morecould screw up tacos, but they did. 1. Shrimp taco was dry and flavorless. 2. Chicken taco was spiced like pumpkin pie, oh my gosh it was gross! 3. No, it's not salsa, it's a sad pico de gallo. 4. Tortillas are 6in and clearly store bought. 5. Margaritas are a premade and pre-melted slush. 6. The rice was sliced with the same pumpkin pie spice, that is not Spanish rice 7. The beans looked like they were dumped out of a can. 8. They brought everything in styrofoam and brown bags like it was to-go, but we ate there. 9. Pork taco was just a lump of wet, flavorless meat. 10. Don't go here. Get real Mexican food elsewhere!

Everything tasted good, came out fast, and hit the spot without trying to be anything fancy. Prices and service were good--definitely one of the more affordable stops in Banff--and the food had good flavour for what you're paying. The margaritas were easy to drink and matched the relaxed vibe of the place. Overall, it's a decent stop if you want something simple, quick, and tasty without breaking the bank. Nothing over the top, just good food and a laid-back atmosphere. The only negative thing worth mentioning is the place could use a dust and a bit of a clean. Nothing that ruined the meal, but it was noticeable and we didn't like that.

I'm the only person in my family who cannot eat gluten & here I could safely taste their food. My husband and I both ordered fish and chips. The fish was crispy & hot and the fries were good too. My kid ordered poutine with brisket. The gravy was also gluten free. Everything was fantastic, great versions of these classic dishes. The service was great from start to finish. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arriving. When I mentioned how excited I was to see gluten free fish & chips, the server was proud to share that they have a dedicated frier for celiacs. When we were ready to go she had the plates cleared & a check instantly. It was a perfect lunch.

I had the butter chicken with added naan, as I strongly prefer not to eat burgers or red meat for health reasons. Sorry but I found my butter chicken a bit disappointing. - The chicken was a bit dry. I was choking at one point. - the naan seems to be store bought and microwaved. - the sauce was not bad, though nothing standing out. - they forgot to bring me steamed veggies. They did bring them eventually but it seemed like microwaved veggies. So in summary a bit disappointing. My friend who had bison said it was tough.

It was pretty busy but we were lucky to only wait about 5 minutes before we got a table. Cute and cozy vibe. I can't recommend the cinnamon bun enough, perfect and soft and not overly sweet since it wasn't smothered in icing. I cannot stress enough to get the huevos rancheros, omggg to die for. The breakfast burrito was also fire. Our little one loved the kids waffle won sausage and a chocolate milk. That with two coffees came to around $65.

Well, how can I pass up the chance to review an American chain restaurant? One of three in Canada,…read moreall of which are in Alberta, apparently. The restaurant is attached to the Fox Hotel. I was a walk-in, and the pleasant host took my phone number and after a short wait and a text message, I was in. I mean, this is Banff, right? The outdoor seating looked prime, so of course I ate inside. Indoors was clean, bright, and sort of rustic. It matched the chalet style houses along the road. My server was busy but friendly, and soon I had placed my order for 5 "Crispers" and a Wild Life Caesar. The food came quickly. The fries were a bit crispy and nicely salted. The coleslaw was creamy, not too sweet, and had a really fresh taste. It was a nice match for the Crunchers (chicken fingers) and the Buffalo sauce. They were not greasy at all, the breading was crunchy and thin, the chicken itself was tender and whole chiclen, not the nasty ground up and formed miscellaneous chicken bits and the Caesar was a good spicy serving. (I especially appreciated the slices of pickles on a spear draped over the top.) Nothing earth shattering here, but for what it is, an upscale chain restaurant, everything was pretty darn good, and overall a slight notch above similar meals I've had. (I was really tired of getting chicken fingers with tendon still embedded.) It was packed when I got here and still packed as I type this, so I think that says a lot.

Had a nice ambience with plenty of seating inside and outside. However we found it was a little chilly inside the restaurant, especially near the windows where we were seated. The staff was friendly, but we found that service was a little slow even though it was not busy at the time of our visit. We appreciated the variety of breakfast items. It was definitely catered to international visitors. However, the food itself tasted just average. We ordered the Eggs Benedict with avocado and tomato, pancakes, French toast, and the omurice. The eggs Benedict came out cold, the omurice needed some additional ingredients for flavoring, and the pancakes and French toast came out dry. They charged us extra for a little tablespoon of extra maple syrup. The only tasty item was the smashed potatoes. Overall, would not recommend this place. It didn't seem like the price matched the quality of the food or the service.

It's a great spot if you're looking for a mix of international and Western flavors. Reservations can be made directly from their homepage via TouchBistro. There are about 10 spots available in the private parking lot. While it was too cold to enjoy the patio during our visit, outdoor dining is available in warmer weather, and the mountain views from the restaurant are stunning. FOOD: 1. Firecracker Calamari (3/5) - Crispy calamari with sautéed peppers, soy, and sesame. Unfortunately, this appetizer had more side ingredients than actual calamari. It's shareable between 3-4 people, but I wouldn't order it again. 2. Canmore Pasta Bison Ravioli (3/5) - Served with a creamy au jus sauce, sautéed mushrooms, and parmesan. I didn't try this one personally, but those who did said it was just "OK." It comes with one slice of garlic toast. 3. Chicken Nirvana (4/5) - A coconut-based gravy with ginger, green chili, curry leaves, basmati rice, and Kerala parotta. The curry was a bit watery for my taste, and I wished the spices were more pronounced. That said, the parotta was nicely crisp -- always a win. 4. Alberta Beef Short Ribs (3/5) - Served with vegetables and gravy. I had a few bites and liked it, but something felt like it was missing -- I couldn't quite put my finger on what. 5. Atlantic Salmon (5/5) - Paired with a tarragon leek lemon emulsion and vegetables. I rarely order salmon at non-Japanese restaurants, but this was an exception. The salmon was perfectly cooked -- not dry at all -- and the emulsion brought everything together beautifully. The service was OK. The server was pleasant, and our drinks never touched the bottom. However, we had an early dinner time, and they were out of two items on the menu. Would I come back? Maybe. I'll explore other places before coming back.
