The flavor was not bad but they really skimped on the amount of toppings. For what these cost, you deserve better. I also tried their Caesar Salad. Could have used more dressing but it was a good salad. Service kind of fit in with the food. While my back was turned to the room, I believe there was only one person for much of our visit trying to do it all. Interactions were businesslike, and there was a delay in paying.

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!

We ordered scallops, the corn on the sauce was my favorite. Potato and chorizo taco - simply amazing - but the taco seems store bought. The BBQ - OMG - that was my fav dish - the BBQ sauce was different and the meat was soooo tender - just fell off the bone. The drinks were ok ok - we ordered 2 non alcoholic and 1 alcoholic. The alcoholic was better - maybe we need to come back to try other drinks to re rate them. I wanted to try the ceviche and some other dishes - always save something for next time :) The ambiance is 5/5 - such great decor! The walls, the bar, the wall paper - very unique.

There was plenty of seating inside which meant it didn't take long for the two of us to seated. It'd been years since I ate at a Spaghetti Factory. I order the Diavola Chicken Gnocchi and LOVED it. It had a nice spice to it, and the chicken wasn't overcooked. My partner ordered the manicotti, which she really enjoyed with the side of meatballs. The mozzarella triangles were exactly what you'd want and expect from a mozzarella stick. We tried the tropical sangria which was okay; it was sweet but didn't have much of a kick to it. Overall it was a great dining experience!

It's a very clean, modern restaurant in a hotel with resort prices. That we expected. They charge for chips and salsa. That is wrong. The chips were stale and covered with Tajin, and the salsa while good, it was very small! The restaurant was run by Indians, which is fine, but the playing of Indian music in a Mexican restaurant was...weird and disconcerting. It's like the operators have never been to a Mexican restaurant.

Interesting. Located right on Banff avenue. This spanish/ mexican restaurant is a place to consider…read morewhen eating out. Located inside of a hotel, the decor is old school and a bit run-down. The service was prompt but spotty at times. The servers seemed more interested in cleaning up for the next day. We started with the nachos, El toro salad and the calamari. The nachos were salty. The dipping sauce were very generic, like store bought, 2/5. El toro salad was pretty good but not a lot of beetroot, 4/5. The calamari was rubbery and too salty, 2/5. Main we got the veg fajitas. They come in a sizzling skillet. The vegetables used were clearly frozen, it had beans, zucchini, carrots, baby corn, and peas. It was spicy but also very salty. For 27 bucks quite underwhelming. Overall, not a place I wouod go back to.

Absolutely lived up to the hype. 1888 Chop House is a must if you're in Banff and want a proper…read moresteakhouse experience. Get the ribeye -- no hesitation. Perfectly cooked, insanely flavorful, and worth every dollar. It's also dope that they let you choose your own steak knife, which adds to the whole experience. The sides were just as good: the milk bread is dangerously good, the broccolini is cooked perfectly, and the potatoes are rich and comforting. Service was outstanding. Adam was hands-down a big reason the night was so good -- he helped with drink recommendations, set the tone, and really tied the entire dinner together. And do not skip dessert -- the 1888 Sundae is absolutely worth it. I could honestly eat two by myself. Great food, great service, would 100% come back.

Honestly didn't think it was very special or had a memorable taste. I wouldn't order it again. Lots of beef options - all very expensive. Two of us had the Ontario corn fed 8oz tenderloin ($86). We thought the fillets were just OK, certainly not great. Perhaps because we're used to great beef in Texas. My wife had the rack of lamb ($70) and she thought it was delicious. We split the heirloom tomato side and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it. Our friends split the whipped potatoes side.

We started with two small plates and a vegetable: Salmon Crudo, Pickled Marinated Fried Chicken and the Cabbage. Wow. Wow. Wow. We decided to eat each one entirely before moving to the next one. Each one had such unique flavors, we wanted to focus on them and enjoy without confusing our taste buds. I highly recommend doing this! Then we ordered the Lamb dish. Our menu said it was going to be a curry dish, but when it arrived it was a Mediterranean dish. It was honestly dreamy! But we were confused because I guess we had a copy of the old menu. Nonetheless, I basically licked the plate! Lastly we ordered the chocolate salted caramel budino (pudding) for dessert. It was so luscious and went perfectly with our end of dinner hot drinks of tea and cappuccino. The serviced matched the food: also fantastic. Super professional and friendly waitress (I forgot to ask her name) she was so personal and we enjoyed talking to her. They comp'd our lamb because of the menu mixup which was so nice! If you're a foodie who enjoys good service, definitely try this place!

Attended a wedding here and everything was just perfect!…read more First off, the view is undeniably breathtaking. We were here for early dinner and we witnessed the sun setting. While waiting for everyone to come & settle down, they were serving appetizers. Everything on the menu was so delicious. Drinks were good! Tried the wine they were offering - Cabernet, ot was earthy, dry, just perfect. I had mocktails but decided that a shot of tequilla won't hurt. Had to do a repeat on that - yep, it was that good. Main course was absolutely light. Had the chicken, my dad had the fish, and my mom had the beef - we had a taste of everything. The dessert was a flourless chocolate cake that tasted really good. I was surprised at how goodot was. I did not get to try their menu because it was already pre ordered but i would definitely be trying it out next time. Before I forget, staff was super accomodating. They made sure everyone had their parking validated, etc. There is parking but can get packed easily so plan ahead.

The wait staff was pleasant knowledgeable and accommodating. We were in a large party so we had a semi private dining area. Their specialty cocktails were great and very appealing to the eye in regard to the presentation upon delivery to the table. Very well put together flavour notes hit. The noise level in the restaurant was perfect for socializing so no complaints there. We did have a large party which probably pushed the kitchen staff a bit because some of the plating of a few dishes came out and were not complete ( 2out3 dishes came missing some plating components) when we made a comment to the waiter he went to investigate. They realized the issue and made a course correction on our bills which was appreciated. I hade the pork chops and I'll say the plating presentation was good but the quality of the the chops not so much, now I've worked in the industry in the past so I usually give a wide birth when it comes to the doneness of my proteins. But these were over cooked or seemed to have been cooked from a frozen state because they were dry as an Alberta summer. Not to mention tough and for that reason is why I'm only giving a 3 out of 5. Pork chops should be cooked through but full of juice these definitely missed the mark. The other components of the dish were great cooked proper with a perfect balance of seasoning. I'd come stop in again if I was in town but I'd probably wouldn't get the chops again.
