    All four of our party ordered different main dishes: burger, salmon, bison rib and beef strip loin. Everything was delicious and well prepared. We had started with excellent cocktails but no wine with the meal though. The table service was great on top of this. Highly recommended

    Beautiful views. Very lovely server. Disappointed that two entrees weren’t available and at least six wines not available. Steak was good. But both serves of Tuna were over cooked and a bit under seasoned. And halloumi shouldn’t be razor thin. Food wasn’t what we expected.

    Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023Hi, We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for your feedback with regards to the wines and Entrees. We've struggled at times this season in the post-Covid economy with sourcing some of our more specialised cuts and wines. With this in mind, we are working on changing our wine list to reflect what is more readily available, and local, while still maintaining a high quality selection. Thanks for your feedback and we hope to see you again Cheers Somhairle

    Mussels were great for an appy. I think someone spilt the Salt shaker in the seafood linguini and the New York strip was somehow burnt on the outside and rare on the inside (asked for medium rare). Service was satisfactory

    Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023Hi Mark, Good to hear you enjoyed the mussels, they are delicious. I've passed on your message about the seafood linguini and the steak to our head chef Victor. We are currently working on improving our consistency so this doesn't happen. We appreciate your feedback and would welcome any opportunity to have you back. Best Somhairle, Cirque

    The food was absolutely terrible. I went with my usual elk bolegnese to be safe and it was dry and bland. My friend ordered the salmon which was over cooked and the crust was burnt. The food is continuously going downhill especially for the cost. I won’t be eating at cirque anytime soon which is a shame as it is very convenient.

    Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear the food or service wasn't up to the usual standard. I've passed your message on to our kitchen team and we are working on improving consistency across the board so this doesn't happen. We'd appreciate any opportunity to rectify it in the future.

    Disappointed in the pasta options. Same meat past offered the past 4 weeks. There are options! The sirloin steak was a 2.5/5. The pumpkin sauce pasta was 2.5/5.

    As residents at Lizard Creek, we eat at The Cirque on a regular basis. Walking 100 m to eat at a 4.5 star restaurant is a privilege that does not disappoint. I had the Elk steak. And I like it cooked rare. The kitchen did not disappoint. It was cooked exactly to my preference. My wife had the Elk Bolognese. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Our overseas guest was somewhat confused about the name of B.C. raised chicken. Apart from the food the atmosphere was so suitable for our conversation. When in Fernie, why go anywhere else.

    Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023thanks Robert we always appreciate having you dine with us and look forward to seeing you again. Cheers Somhairle

    The food and service was wonderful. The challenge was that Cirque no longer allowed corkage for wine we brought. We are very respectful of wine and food service and order a cocktail and lots of food. As a result we did order a bottle of wine off the wine list . Sadly the wine we ordered was $120 and $30 in BC and was jammy alcoholic ( 15 %) not a good experience. We will probably do take out next time.

    We find The Cirque so convenient as it is part of the Lizard Creek complex. Our evening started with cocktails. My wife had a King Fir. A very tasty creation. I had a smoked Old Fashioned. The main course for me was Seafood Linguine. Plenty of seafood immersed in a tasty sauce. Donna had a Cesar salad. Service was great and we had another enjoyable evening Thank you

    We have had many very good meals at Lizard Creek restaurants. This overall experience was on the low end. Service was great but they were out off several of the items we chose for wine, and entry's. I understand supply chain issues but when you have a limited menu of six entrès and 5 pasta dishes you shouldn't run out of linguini noodles or one of your main entrès. Also had issues with wine selection availability. The food we ate was very tasty but not our first choices. Focus seems to have moved to the bar service which was very good.

    NYE limited menu of which we were unaware. Original reservation was bumped, by the owner,to an earlier time to accommodate a private party. There was no consultation or courtesy call about this. A staff member did call me to tell me what was happening after I messaged them. We kept the earlier reservation. Superb service, great food.

    I had the mussel appetizer as a main course along with a starter salad. The salad was at least twice as big as I expected and my husband had to finish. I also finally got to try a salted caramel pudding with toffee sauce. Excellent! I was very surprised and pleased. to see they had several gluten-free desserts. They all looked fantastic!

    It was great to again eat at The Cirque. Each year new staff take over the responsibilities of maintaining the tradition of service and great food. I was very pleased with the mussels, one of my “go-to” dishes when we dine our. I always count the number of shells that are empty or did not open. Last night every mussel was plump and full. We shared the burger as it is a large serving. It was fun getting to know our waitress as she and her family have recently re-located tho Fernie. We have a saying “people move to Fernie for the lifestyle. And then find a way to make their Fernie lifestyle happen.” We are pleased. To have her join pour community.
