    La Brea Salad was a tad heavy-handed on the house vinaigrette, which was too thick in texture
    Dewi A.

    We originally went to Rockwater Grill & Bar two doors down, but were aggravated by the amount of noise there + lack of ambiance, so we decided to dine here -- oh, what a breath of fresh air as ambiance here is quiet, classy even. We began with the vegan spinach dip, which was made of cashews, spinach, artichoke, miso, vegan mozarella + tortilla chips. This was DELICIOUS. You forget that it's even vegan as it packed so much flavor! We were, however, disappointed that the chips were store-bought. For $24.75 CAD, you'd think it'd be housemade corn tortilla chips. Definitely overpriced for an appetizer. We also had the poutine (beef gravy), because when in Canada. This Quebecois dish is delicious when made right. Though the gravy here was flavorful, we found most of the fries soggy and the cheese curds could have been squeakier. We rate this 7/10. We ordered the Bistro Burger -- solid, tasty, and a small order of the La Brea Salad, which was made of arugula, pomegranate, roasted heirloom carrots, toasted pumpkin seeds, goat cheese, dill sour cream + house vinagrette. It was large for a "small," and was perfect to share. Though presentation was nice, the house vinaigrette was too thick and heavy-handed. Also, the dill sour cream did nothing to enhance the dish as it lacked flavor. For drinks, we ordered the Bow + Arrow cocktail -- mezcal, bourbon, pineapple, lime + mint, as well as Icefields Pale Ale by local Whitetooth Brewing Co. right here in Golden. The Pale Ale was quite good. The Bow + Arrow cocktail, however, tasted like a pineapple margarita. It wasn't bad, but we certainly did not taste any mezcal and we'd been to Oaxaca, Mexico 5X where we fell in love with mezcal there. It could have used a stronger or smokier mezcal + some garnish would have been more eye-catching. Service was prompt. Not super friendly or conversational, but efficient.

    It was a chilly morning but we sat on the patio outside the bistro. Nice patio right on main street downtown with a good view of the mountains and we watched sky divers ! The Cali eggs Benedict was very good!

    Delicious lunch and great service! I had a very tasty salmon sandwich and hubby had a yam burger. Very flavorful!!!

    Cold vermicelli salad and cucumber fizz mocktail.

    Cozy bistro with great service, tasty fresh food, and excellent vegan options. We stopped in for dinner after a crazy delay on Highway 1 and this restaurant made our day! Try the Cucumber Fizz mocktail!

    Cold outside Wet with intermittent downpours of rain Raw mountain day at 39 degrees... We sought out refuge from the elements while looking for a nice quality meal. This spot didn't disappoint at all :) Very nice atmosphere we arrived just at the rush of lunch. Food quality was good with innovative dishes offered in a nice space with good service. We left with more to explore and don't regret our choice to visit Whitetooth for lunch.

    The burger is a must try! The broccoli salad was also super yummt

    This place is a gem in the town of Golden BC. The food was great and they had plenty of patio seating that was distanced, making it a great option during COVID. My friend and I split the burger and broccoli salad because having balance is important! We obviously had to pair the burger with poutine, which was incredibly satisfying after a long day of hiking. Frankly, there aren't that many options in Golden, but if you're struggling to pick a place to eat, I'd choose this place!

    Pork chop, pork is sooooo dry! 27 bucks( omg, left bank's pork chop is much better)
    Nina H.

    Food quality is good, but the service is totally worse than any of the restaurant I have ever eaten. Slow and lazy service. The whole dinner service without appetizer and desert takes about 2 hours! And at the end, it took the waiter 10min to give us the card machine to pay the check (and the card machine is right on the water station) food looks so pretty but they are definitely not worth of the money. Pork chop is dry, wild mushroom is too salty, steak has no taste! With the same amount of money, we can have way much better service and food from other restaurants in town (like turning point) than this! I would definitely avoid this place!

    Good presentation, but the food is a bit overpriced and underwhelming. We had the scallops appetizer and pork shank and steak entrées. The scallops dish was only two scallops on the plate. The waiter did mention it was a small appetizer but I thought it would be at least 4 scallops of this size. The scallops were way too salty. The five spice pork shank was our favorite thing that we ordered, it was cooked beautifully until it was falling apart. The seasoning was good, but the accompanying charcoal infused gnocchi could have been better. We asked for the steak to be cooked medium but it was overcooked and too tough.

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.

    Called to make a reservation the day of. Got seated within 5 min of our arrival…read more Service was friendly and this place has good vibes. Was hoping to get there early enough for their early dinner special which looks like a fantastic deal but forgot Golden is on MST so our arrival was actually an hour later than we thought. Started with the sticky ribs which were good but not fall off the bone tender. Also having it served with tortilla chips was weird bc there's nothing to dip the tortilla chips in. Got the sirloin steak with seasonal veggies, mashed potatoes and garlic sauce. There was a sweetness to the sauce which I found interesting. The steak was cooked well and tender. My friend got the cannelloni which was filled with veggies, sausage and cheese. It was served piping hot and he enjoyed his dish as well. We would return

Came across this restaurant and decided to give it a try and I'm so glad we did! Their first hour they have meal deals which were really worth it! The restaurant was really fancy looking much more than I expected. We ordered: 1. Pork Kim Chi Pot stickers: These were just okay. Kind of tasted like it was from a package and just boiled and headed up to serve and not as much hand made there. 2. The dragon plate over pasta: Holy crap this was SOOOO GOOD! The waitress was so amazing and recommended we get the dragon plate over something instead like pasta because it soaks up the sauce better and she was so right! The sauce was amazing I wish I had bread to soak it up. There was so much seafood and it was so fresh. The quality of the seafood was also amazing. 3. House daily pasta with chicken: Super good and perfectly good chicken. The sauce was also amazing with this. My wife ordered this so she ate most of it but I liked it a lot. 4. Cookies and cream cheese cake: Exactly as you'd expect it to taste. Rich cheesecake and nice crunches from the oreo. Overall, we had such a great experience here. It was easily the best thing we ate on our banff trip. The waitress was sooooo nice and gave us such excellent recommendations. We were so lucky to have randomly come across this place on Yelp and that they opened right when we got there. This is a must try restaurant.
