    Around 7:30 in the evening, I arrived at this restaurant, which was already about 80% full. It's evident that this restaurant must have a good local reputation! I ordered a lasagna, an elk burger, and the daily special, cream of chicken soup. The lasagna had a thick layer of cheese on top and was generously sized, but personally, I didn't quite enjoy the taste of their ground meat and the seasoning. The elk burger was also quite large, and the meat was a bit dry, but it became very tasty with the addition of BBQ sauce. The accompanying sweet potato fries were incredibly delicious! Surprisingly, their cream of chicken soup was also very tasty! Having a bowl of it on this chilly day was pure bliss! 傍晚7:30左右抵達這家餐廳,餐廳已經是八成滿的狀態,可見這家餐廳在當地評價應該很好! 點了一個千層麵跟一個elk漢堡,還有一個當日濃湯是cream of chicken,千層麵上面有厚厚的起司,份量很大,但是我個人不太喜歡他們肉末的味道,調味上我沒有很喜歡。Elk漢堡份量也是非常大,肉算是偏乾的,但是加上BBQ醬變得很好吃,附贈的蕃薯薯條超級好吃!而它們的 cream of chicken 意外的好喝!在這個冷颼颼的天氣喝上一碗簡直太幸福!

    I went for the BBQ Elk Burger since I'd never had elk before, and I have to say, it didn't disappoint. I was a bit worried it might be dry, but the elk patty turned out tender, though not as juicy as a beef patty. I treated myself to an upgrade with yam fries, and it was the best decision I made all night. They were perfectly fried and paired nicely with the garlic aioli dip. I also ordered the soup of the day, which was Cream of Chicken, and it was a comforting choice for the chilly weather. The service was excellent, and the place had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was clean and had a cozy, family-style restaurant ambiance. Plus, parking was easy and plentiful.

    Just an assembly of ingredients...Tuna Poke Bowl
    Wei J.

    My Tuna Poke Bowl was made by someone who has no idea what a poke bowl is. It is tasteless, just assembly of the ingredients, and no sauce or dressing. My family's burger was good, but greasy. I waited forever for our waitress to bring some sauce so that I can at least not go hungry amd make some inroads with the poke bowl. Also waited forever for the check. Don't go if you want good food and service. Their default tip pn their credit card swiper was 18%, which i gave. But we were in other places in Golden where the tip started at 15%. It is rather like under-performing employee gives herself high self evaluation. Lol​

    Sweet Chilli Chicken Bites

    They had a variety of different dinner options and we wanted to try everything! We ended up getting a couple dishes to share. First the pizza - coming from NYC, I expected it to be better. The crust was thicker than I would like and it was relatively bland. After reading the reviews for the french onion soup, we decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! Super flavorful and the bread wasn't too soggy. The sweet chili chicken bites were crispy and had a nice kick to them. The dessert menu looked good but we were too full to get any.

    Shepherds Pie

    Great restaurant with patio seating near downtown Golden. Lots of different varieties of dishes should please most everyone in the family. In our party we had Butter Chicken, Chicken Souvlaki, Shepherds Pie, and Mac & Cheese. Had the poutine and Gyoza for starters and both were excellent. Staff was attentive and very pleasant.

    We were headed to Banff and had a hankering for Italian food. Not many choices in the area, but saw that Turning Point had pasta dishes on Yelp. Yelp, you haven't failed me yet. The restaurant was really spacious, had beautiful tables and comfy seats. I could see hosting family get togethers here a breeze. Our host, Nitasha, was very courteous and attentive. After I ordered my chicken soulvaki with fries, I went on Yelp and saw that they had poutines. I mean, come on! You gotta try the poutine if they have it, right? I'm glad I asked her because they do still have it, it's just not on the menu. I felt very 'in the know'. Thanks again, Yelpers. We ordered the calamari starter - omg, get this! Crazy delicious, tender and crispy at the same time. The tangy yogurt sauce that came with it was the best pairing. It is the best calamari I've had, period. The truffle fries - also, get this! Thoroughly coated in truffle oil, perfectly crisp with a generous helping of parmesan cheese on top with the most delicious garlic aioli sauce. Be sure to have everyone in the party eat this so that everyone is on the same level. It is the kind thing to do. The elk burger, veal parmesan and my chicken souvlaki were all yummy, fresh and expertly cooked. The best last minute find passing through to Banff. Nitasha asked where we were headed and recommended two stops on the way to Banff, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls, which became our top highlights of the entire trip! I hope she gets to hear how grateful we are for her kindness. Our vacation started off amazing.

    Elk burger just ok. Split pea soup super salty.
    Ian L.

    OK place to stop by for a sit-down meal, but maybe not a quick sit-down. I ordered the elk burger which was just ok. The patty had a lot of salt in it and not a lot of extra seasoning. For the price, the burger was just too simple and plain. I also tried the split pea soup which was also super salty and nothing to rave about. The rest of my party was happy with the fish and chips and the bison pappardelle, so those may be be safer menu items to order. Service was quite slow on a weekday afternoon even though the place was mostly empty.

It is delicious and I highly recommend this for lunch. My wife had the French onion soup and the fish and chips. They were probably the best fish and chips I've ever tasted and she agreed. Very different very light batter and they use a special technique. I cannot recall. I think they're a must try and I highly recommend them. I would give lunch five stars!

With the stunning Kootenay Mountains and Dogtooth Range as its backdrop, the atmosphere feels both distinctly mountain-town and surprisingly sophisticated. The interior is casual yet elegant, with warm sage-green walls, food photography, locally sourced wood accents, and rich chocolate-brown booths and banquettes. It strikes that perfect balance of cozy and casual dining. We started with the Yam Fries, which were crispy, savory, and topped with garlic, Parmesan, and basil, with a bright lime aioli on the side. The combination of flavors were a highlight, especially the contrast between the richness of the Parmesan and the fresh citrusy aioli. For my entrée, I ordered the Black Cod: pan-seared Atlantic black cod with lemon butter, seasonal vegetables, pea risotto, leek, and orange salsa. The cod was the standout, delicate, buttery, and nicely prepared. I especially enjoyed the combination of the creamy pea risotto with the brightness of the leek and orange salsa. It was a thoughtfully composed dish that felt both comforting and fresh. It was a substantial portion size and I was able to take food to-go. My friend ordered this dish as well and it was large enough to split! This might have been my favorite culinary dish in Canada. I also appreciate that Whitetooth makes an effort to use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and the daily food and drink specials give you another reason to return and see what's being offered. Service was a bit slow during our visit, although the restaurant was busy, and we ended up with the last available table in the dining area. Given the setting and the overall experience, the wait was ultimately manageable. Whitetooth Mountain Bistro is a lovely representation of Golden, relaxed enough for outdoor enthusiasts, welcoming to families, and polished enough for a romantic dinner. Add in the mountain views, cozy atmosphere, and beautifully prepared food, and it's easy to see why this is a place worth seeking out when visiting Golden.
