    Fish and chips
    Linh T.

    Friendly service, tasty fish and chips all washed down with a fizzy cocktail for the win on a dog friendly patio. My friends also enjoyed the burger they ordered. This cute restaurant is located on a busy touristy street but it was a very pleasant experience with beautiful views all around! Parking is available on streets nearby.

    Great food and service! We had a fantastic time on the patio with our dogs. The server was also very helpful with questions about allergens and the menu had lots of options. It's a very lively but still relaxed vibe on the patio with a lovely view of the mountains and downtown. Would come back!

    OMG. This was the best food we had during our time in Banff/Canmore. We had 2 adults + a toddler for lunch at 12:45 pm on Tuesday, 9/24/24. They have high chairs! There was no wait. We sat on the deck outside and it was the perfect weather for it! Just gorgeous! The inside was beautifully decorated and the bathrooms were very nice, complete with tampons and pads. So generous!! We split an appetizers and 2 entrees. Here's what we got: - Hummus & Bread (CA$18): Wowowow. So good. The bread was amaaaazing. The hummus was delicious. - Steak Sandwich (CA$30): OMG. This was just so good. So tasty. It really blew me away how good this was. Very generous portion of steak. Fries were great! - Local Ruffage Salad, add chicken (CA$21 + $7): Also amazing!! The dressing was delightful. The chicken was actually very good too. HIGHLY recommend!!

    Thick cuts of heavily breaded calamari..just ok

    Great place to grab a beer and watch a game! Bring your friends and enjoy a pint with an epic view of the Main Street.

    This place was the best restaurant we ate at while visiting BANFF for a week in September. they…read morehave a great HH for some of their menu items and every dish that we ordered tasted amazing and was cooked to perfection! we had tuna crudo, crab toast ( we are from Maryland and loved this crab toast!) mushroom pizza, bibb lettuce salad, maple bbq trout and wood grilled strip steak and every dish was delicious!! The service was 10 stars on both days that we visited the restaurant is also huge and well designed , with airy seating and multiple rooms for different types of tables if you are in Banff area, I highly recommend you try this for a highly elevated dining experience at the same prices of others in the area Do make a reservation because they fill up quickly ! I would stay away from their kombucha because its just tasted like soda, however it wasnt house made, so can't ding them for that :)

    What a let down! This restaurant came highly recommended for the food but every single person (word…read moreof mouth and read the reviews) said how terrible the service was... and I agree! The hostess sat me (party of 1) at the worst table-right behind the hostesses stand where allllllll the servers and people pass by. She never even asked if I wanted inside or outside. I asked my server if I could switch and that never happened. My drink took forever-it arrived after my appetizer. The best thing I ate was the eggplant fries app-that sauce was a delight with the lightly breaded eggplant. It had the perfect crunch! I also asked for more sauce and the server again forgot and was never around. I mentioned in my reservation that it was my birthday and nothing happened. I was dining solo and hoping that by the restaurant would celebrate in some way, especially since the reservation asked if I was celebrating... The food wasn't THAT good to put up with such poor service. I never even got a second drink - my server was all over the place. It seems like an overall tightening up would do this restaurant well- from hostess to the bar to the servers. Come on guys- charging $30 for a salad deserves white glove service.

    Came here on a Saturday evening and made a reservation on opentable. There was a long wait for an…read moreavailability so we're glad we did that where there was service. We ordered to share: Bison carpaccio: 8/10, the large pieces of black salt(?) was overwhelming the bison, but otherwise very unique and worth trying Burrata salad: 100/10, super refreshing and unique palate of thinly ribboned squash covered with tarragon vinaigrette and burrata. Smoked trout doughnut: 8/10, interesting combination of sweet (donut, lemon glaze) and savory (smoked trout, herbed Crème Fraîche, everything bagel seasoning, pickled shallot) Individually: Strip sirloin: I didn't have this one but 10/10 for work of art presentation. Huge piece of steak though. Roasted chicken: 9/10 myself and one other got the chicken. Tender and well seasoned with sweet and spicy harissa honey glaze and chili crisps. It looked like they gave half a whole chicken to her and the other half to me, huge portions. Probably could've been 3 meals. Peyto's ribs: 9/10 had to get it for the touch of maple paprika. Seared ling cod: 9/10 it's the only portion that remotely made sense for a single person and didn't end with leftovers. The dimly lit atmosphere at Brazen is perfect to unwind in after a long day of hiking and exploring. The portions are generous and flavor profile recommendations between appetizers, mains, and drinks well explored. Highly recommend making an advance reservation to try!

I ordered the boulevardier cocktail, which was good, but nothing to rave about. There was plenty of seating and our server was friendly and attentive. Maybe it's just not my spot. Very pleasant atmosphere for a romantic dinner, but not quite was I was looking for, for a happy hour.

    Love love love this place. Came here for brunch (and surprised to see that it's a steakhouse…read moreplace...thought we got the wrong place). Great ambience, lovely and (VERY) attentive services. 3 people checked on us to see if anyone is already helping or if we need anything. Ordered the prime rib toast (wich is unexpectedly very delish..favorful..balanced...unlike all those toast i have eaten before...omg, im drooling as im typing). And ordered french omellette (my friend is vegetarian and she said it's absolutely tasty and yummy and she is happy to see quite good options for no-meat dish). We went to 4 other places during our 3days in banff, this is the ONLY place she praised (not simply bc of veg options,but the fact that its delish). That means something! They also generously gave us lemon cheesecake as bday cake (it was my bday and kinda nice to have small sweet celebration considering i was away from home). It was also our last day and we went to airport right after this brunch . What a beautiful end of our trip. Thank you, bluebird team!

If I wasn't there for that, I would have been disappointed and felt that was too expensive. The broccolini was delightful and my husband really enjoyed the "bacon" for dipping into the fondue. Cocktails weren't our favorite and the overall consensus was it was our weakest dinner reservation of our time in Banff. However, the people next to us ordered various cuts of steak and those looked unbelievable!
