    The view was unforgettable. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the still snow-dusted peaks, white walls bounced evening light, and cushioned chairs invited lingering. In the shoulder-season hush every fork-clink had its own echo. Service had the same low-key polish: ours floated by with unobtrusive refills, chatted about the wine list, and never hovered. The wine list was sensible rather than sweeping—respectable bottles at fair mark-ups, but few surprises or anything worth splurging on. Cocktails were measured, balanced, and cold, the kind that made the first twenty minutes feel promising. That promise faltered when plates began landing. Bison carpaccio, sliced too thin to survive the heavy hand with salt, was both dry and dull. Pork ribs, lacquered in a lively glaze, revealed scant, overcooked meat set on a tangle of undressed, wilted arugula that felt as though someone forgot the rest of the dish. The drift continued with the mains. A beef tenderloin arrived perfectly medium-rare yet otherwise undecided about flavour, leaning on a melting pat of butter for identity. Its carrot-and-squash-potato entourage had good texture but almost no seasoning. The night’s “prawn” spaghetti—touted as a bright white-wine sauce with juicy prawns—was a shallow tide of oil hosting baby shrimp cooked to rubber and cherry tomatoes that tasted of nothing in particular. Dessert sealed the verdict. A brick of bread pudding, clearly reheated, swam in caramel thick enough to asphalt the plate; a scattering of tired berries did little to freshen the scene. We paid just under $300 for two, tax and tip included. For a resort restaurant, that isn’t a shocking figure, but the gap between cost and craft felt wide. Until the kitchen starts matching the view and the gracious front-of-house team, consider enjoying the scenery from the bar, cocktail in hand, and keeping dinner plans flexible. That, or visit one of the other wonderful restaurants in town for a stellar meal at half the price.

    As a frequent diner at the Cirque, I feel that they have come a long way in the food quality and presentation, especially during the Shoulder Season on the ski hill. My wife and i are looking forward to dining during the summer seadon when reservation are needed due to a full house

    We were a group of 13 staying in the hotel for a milestone birthday. We had the most amazing experience. The restaurant views are breath taking as is the decor. The service was outstanding the staff was present but did not overwhelm the table. Rosè arrived quickly and orders placed timely. We had a few serve allergies at the table (celiac, soy & dairy) these gals were told options right away and felt very taken care off. Don’t hesitate if your a large party they took care of us effortlessly. I Wish I had taken more photos. We shared the calamari (done in GF dedicated fryer) the summer salad (feta & watermelon absolutely popped) & the AAA tenderloin with a chimmicurri sauce that was the epitome of summer flavours. I’d highly recommend for date night or a fabulous group affair.

    Service was good. Unfortunately, Cesar salad and salmon were extremely salty. The waiter was great and took both salmon entrees off the bill. The bison short rib and beet & pumpkin salad were very good.
