    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
    Rachael C.

    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.

    Strawberry cheesecake
    Nina H.

    Dropped in because their huge sticker of trip advisor best restaurant in town of 2017. And it deserves that! Wait time is around 30min during dinner hour. Various food selection and good quality of food. Restaurant is so busy and there are only 2-3 people doing the service. So the overall eating experience is slow! Besides that food quality and portion is big. I LovE the French onion soup! It uses the correct wine to cook. Other pastas and entrees are rich and tasty.

    Elk burger and house soup
    Timothy H.

    Pros: Great house soup 2/3 of elk burger was good Cons: Slow service Server was non-existent before we received our food (~20 min) and gave us attitude when we asked for an update Table too high for seats A fly landed on my food even though we were indoors My water had a speck of foreign material Lettuce in salad was quite wilted Elk burger was seasoned inconsistently--some bites were flavorful, some bland Napkins were dirty and also found a used one under our table Recs: House soup Other restaurants

    Yummy refreshing quinoa and mandarin salad

    We went here to celebrate a special occasion and we had a great experience! Our window seat had a…read moreperfect view, and our waitress was so kind and friendly. The AAA Alberta beef was incredibly tender and juicy. Alberta really knows its beef! The chicken was unfortunately a bit dry, but the Caesar salad definitely made up for it. Watching them prepare the salad at our table was a big plus. Absolutely recommend this place for special occasions or a memorable meal with stunning views!

    This was truly a wonderful place for another one of our late dinners. We had come back from a day…read moreof touring and landed here for dinner. This is a nice-simple menu with something for everyone and not an over the top amount of choices. For this reason ordering was simple and our dinner (see attached photos) was wonderful. We were lucky enough to be able to eat outside in the heated dining area. This alone made this experience a once of a life time. Can you imagine sitting for dinner while overlooking Lake Louise. (Again, see attached pictures.) As the sun sets, the view keeps changing which is why I spent half my time eating and the other half taking pictures. We had a pretty wide variety of food and I will say that everyone found it fresh and tasty. People in our group enjoyed the great steak, chicken, and I always love the fish and chip which I seemed to have a lot of while on this journey. The Warm Peach Strudel was the perfect way to end this perfect meal. The service was amazing and our waitress was just fantastic. The was the perfect model meal... KUDOs to the team at the Lakeview Lounge.
