Diner Reviews

"We cannot speak highly enough about this place. From the moment we arrived, the service was incredible. From the valet walking us to the Maitre D and introducing us, being escorted to our table, and being address by name by every member of the staff! The staff was incredible warm and friendly and knew the right amount of contact to always be around when needed but not be overbearing. And then there was the food! From the first amuse-bouche, to the dessert amuse-bouche everything was incredible! Portion sizes were not so small, like most fine dining restaurants, but just right. Everything tasted incredible and looked beautiful as well! I don't generally write reviews, but the experience at this restaurant was to good to not share!"

"Incredible experience, different foods, deserts with so many extras, amazing service from all the staff. A masterful place to dine! Worth going back!"

"This was our first time at Eden and will not be our last. From the moment we arrived - we felt 'treated'. The service was the BEST and the food was like nothing we have had before (and we have dined in Calgary, Toronto, Las Vegas and Chicago....to name a few). We were looking forward to trying our first Five Diamond Experience and now we know WHY that rating is there. We enjoyed the four course meal along with a bottle of wine. Everything exceeded our expectations - well done, Eden - WELL DONE!!"

"In general we have been unable to find good food since coming to the rockies for a week. The food here was well executed with international standards, service was quite good, and they were quite friendly with our kids, even took them into the kitchen for a quick tour! We went to quite a few top rated restaurants in the banff, lake louise area, this is by far the best."

"I received a reminder earlier in the day reminding me of the "Dress code". I can only assume only a few diners were notified as at least half the male diners whilst I was there would not have been allowed in. I was sat at a table looking at a guy dressed in a polo shirt, jeans and track shoes. There were others in tartan shirts and jeans. For the main course I had a lobster tail which was superb--my wife had the lamb which she also enjoyed. The rest of the dinner was very average and I was not impressed at all. Not over expensive but I fail to understand the reviews of this restaurant in Trip Adviser."

"Dining at the Rimrock's Eden does not disappoint. It is a special experience with beautiful food and wonderful service. We chose a three course meal with premium wine pairings. Be prepared to spend money so it's a once a year type event for us."

"If you are looking to celebrate a special occasion, enjoy a romantic dinner, or just have an elegant meal, then Eden is definitely the place. My husband and I recently celebrated our anniversary and opted to try the Chef's Tasting Menu, which was beyond amazing. The staff were all attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable."

"The atmosphere was terrific, the staff went above and beyond, all with warm and welcoming personalities. The food was spectacular as was the presentation. The various samplings from the liquor trolly were exotic and good fun... I certainly look forward to dining there in the future."

"There is nothing that could be said of the view either then "amazing"! The food was all was fantastic. This was a bucket list restaurant for us and we are soo happy we got the chance to check it off. Minor notes (I even hesitate to write) the service could have been a bit more attentive. A bit....it was the little things like our water glasses being empty for a while; different servers asking us the same questions we had already answered; the option of having wine with dinner was pushed a bit too much, then for dessert nothing was offered at all. There was a group in the private dinning room that was so loud it became obnoxious and we were happy to finish our meal so we could leave."

"Eden, at the Rimrock Resort, is a fabulous restaurant that is all the more fantastic given its location in the beautiful surroundings of Banff. The staff to a person, provide understated, high-quality service that makes the meal all the more enjoyable. The team in the kitchen provide food that is spectacularly pleasing to the eye and does not disappoint on the palate. We had a 4 course dinner with wines chosen by the sommelier that complimented the food perfectly. A not to be missed treat--especially given the location."

"Eden truly deserves a 5 star rating!!! Everyone in the restaurant was so accommodating. We were late, as our train was delayed, they made every effort to put us at ease to experience one of the best dining experiences in Canada. The food was delightful, the flavors, the imagination in the recipes and the delivery were all exceptional. The Sommelier was a delight, knowledgeable and friendly. It was truly a magical night looking over the Rockies in Banff - a scene that cannot be repeated. "

"To say this is good, doesn't speak stongly enought of just how great the food, but also importantly the friendly staff. This was a night, of hopes that the food and wine would pair, and the night be relaxed. Instead, i had all my previous plans, not just fufilled, but was delighted that i had made new friends in Eden. Thank-you Chad, and Robert. Your knowledge of wine is as deep as your wonderful conversations. Im visiting again & again.......in my future visits to Banff."

"Wow! Our table faced the window with breathtaking views of the mountain valley. The service team was outstanding. We ordered the tasting menu with the "lower-level" wine pairings. Everything was fantastic. The food was one of the best meals I've ever eaten - the tasting menu was a surprisingly delightful journey. Several "bonus" items were served in addition to the six courses. Four hours later, we left feeling completely satisfied. If you can afford to spend nearly $700 on dinner for two - then definitely do it! If you can't then try just ordering fewer courses. There is nothing disappointing about this restaurant!"

"This restaurant is very good but not up to better european standards. We were a little disappointed. Eg fish was not very fresh. Steak was only good. Cheese was drying out too much or extreme over ripe. Overpriced and tiny portions. View is great. Think they are better than they are. "
Dined on 5/28/2014
"One of the most unbelievable dining experiences we have ever had. The wine pairings were incredibly precise and delicious. The chef was very attentive to my wife's food allergy. We were not rushed through the meal, and were allowed to take our time and enjoy the delicious food and spectacular scenery. Only wish we would have had a window table."

"We went for our wedding anniversary. The service was outstanding! They were very attentive and caring. We ordered three course, but we received 4 small additional complimentary dishes and a gift! We were very full after our dinner, and also emotionally very satisfied! The dinner made our anniversary very special!"
Dined on 5/25/2014
"What an amazing evening. The view of the mountains made a perfect setting. We ordered the meals with wine pairing and was the right choice. The staff was friendly and attentive but not hovering which was appreciated. It was our last night in Banff and it made a great memory."

"One of the finest restaurants I've ever been to in the world. We're so lucky to have this restaurant in Alberta."

"My friend & I brought our Moms to the Rimrock for a girls' weekend & we had dinner at Eden. We had the tasting menu & all 8 courses were impressive & delicious ("edible art" my mom said). More importantly for us we were out for a fun night & the staff seemed to pick up on this immediately - at least 6 different staff throughout the 5 hour night came by our table & just simply had fun with us, for example one server brought my friend's mom her favorite drink, "bud light in a bottle", & presented it to her as if it were a bottle of fine vintage wine! They really went out of their way to not take the impeccable fine dining experience too seriously along with us - & we wound up having a night out that we will never forget. AMAZING service. "

"The evening was a delight. From the moment we arrived with the valet service to our gift bag on departure we felt special and well treated. The view was spectacular, the service informative and helpful. The food was beautiful and the wine pairings were excellent."

"Everything about our experience at Eden was exceptional: The taste, temperature and speed of the food was perfectly coordinated by the professional and knowledgable staff. In addition, the staff were all attentive and helpful without being imposing. The details of the decor and the view from our table created the perfect atmosphere and my boyfriend and I were given a tour of the wine room as we were leaving, a perfect touch at the end of the evening."

"My boyfriend and I were in Banff for the weekend and decided to go "all out" while staying at the Rimrock. What an excellent decision! I was amazed by how much food we had and how fantastic it tasted! We started with champagne and it was to die for! I had the vegetarian tastings and he had the pork jowl, the beef tenderloin, and the maple pumpkin dessert. Between some of the courses, there were little samplings and our favorite was definitely the champagne sorbet. We weren't fond of some of the wines but overall, each pairing complimented quite nicely! The meal was finished with delicate petit fours: salted caramel macaroon, cranberry jelly, and vanilla bean marshmallow."

"With many Calgary high end restaurants dumbing down the dining experience (no linen, high nose level, common menu - nothing special, infrequent menu changes, poor wine lists) we drovew to Banff to the Rimrock Hotel to dine at Eden. Everything was supberb from arrival to departure after 5 hours of enjoying the Chef's 10 plate tasting menu accompanied by 10 wine parings. Truly the best dining experinece we have had in the Calgary-Banff area."

"We have been to the Eden a few times and it never disappoints. The ambience, service, food and overall experience is truly one of a kind and magnificent. The view is also spectacular. Be prepared for 2-3 hours of fabulous food and fine dining. The wait staff and sommelier are first class, knowledgable and friendly. Extensive wine list from $60 to a few thousand but what choices. We shall return."

"Beautiful view of the mountains, valley and Banff townsite, in a classy setting. Loved the amuse-bouche surprises. Food was beautifully presented and delicious, though few "wow" taste experiences - expected because of prior reviews. Waiters were professional and helpful. Overall a lovely and unique experience. Our third visit in just over a year."

"Fine dining at its best! Incredible service, they paid so much attention to us, answered our questions, and delivered wonderful food & wine pairings. Many surprise courses and fun little amuse bouchés, plus the sent us home with carrot cake for the next day. Fabulous value and well worth the price, actually felt like we got much more than we paid for. if you are not accustomed to fine dining, they are not snobby nor do the make you feel uncomfortable. Very flexible with the menu. Had an amazing evening!!"

"THIS RESTAURANT IS WORTHY OF BEING #1 ON TRIP ADVISOR AND ITS THE ONLY 5 DIAMOND RESTAURANT IN WESTERN CANADA. IT REALLY IS INCREDIBLE. THE AMAZING STAFF HAVE TONNES OF PERSONALITY AND INCREDIBLE KNOWLEDGE. THE FOOD IS CREATIVELY PRESENTED UTILIZING VARIOUS AROMAS AND SOME LOCAL FOREST SELECTIONS TO ENHANCE THEIR PRESENTATIONS OF SOME COURSES. THE FLAVOURS WERE FANTASTIC AND THE SOMMELIERS CERTAINLY ENJOY THEIR JOBS AS THEY WERE VERY ENGAGING AND HIGH ENERGY WITH THEIR EXPLANATIONS OF EACH SELECTED WINE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WORLD AT A REASONABLE PRICE!"

"dinner at Eden on Feb 14th for a romantic dinner and I found the staff to be very kind, considerate and appropriate, except the guy serving liquor. I believe he is the beverage manager and he was servicing us with a trolly full of alcohol. He was sooo loud and obnoxious where he did not recognize the romantic time that was happening at other tables. He was so out of touch that we had to stop our conversation at our table until he finished his conversation at another table. why doesn't the general manager of the restaurant not recognize this so far and addressed this with man? it was very unprofessional behavior the rest of the staff btw were great.. it was only liquour serving guy that i was concerned with..."

"Eden is pricey and for this reason we only go on very special occasions! that being said, our experience has always been amazing and you get what you pay for!
