    It took over an hour and a half for our food to come out and when it did it was lacking a bit of flavour. It wasn’t bad, but for the price, I would have expected better. They seemed a bit rushed to get us out of there after the food came out but that could be because they were so behind with orders.

    Bluebird is becoming one of my favourite restaurants to eat at when visiting Banff. The food is always fantastic, there is a tonne of variety and it doesn't matter if you go for breakfast/brunch, happy hour or dinner; the vibe is always fantastic.

    It was our first time at Bluebird and we really enjoyed it. The renovations that were done to the building are beautiful so the ambiance was very nice. We wished we were seated on the main floor because the upstairs is designed for larger groups and this was an intimate dinner for 2 but it’s still very nice. The service was also good but was prevented from being great because our server had a couple very large tables to manage. But the most important part of dining out is the food and here the Bluebird really shines. Everything we ordered was excellent and beautifully presented. The only note would be that they could do with a vegetarian main dish that is warm. The only options currently are all served cool. Overall, if you’re looking for a great atmosphere and delicious food you can’t go wrong going to Bluebird

    A little pricey for what you pay. My French onion soup had 0 salt in it and lacked flavour, same with the steak frites, the gravy was very meh. The fondue was great, same with our service and drink choices.

    The best steakhouse in Banff, always a good time and good food. I had the best steak of my life here, although this last time they seemed a bit overwhelmed with how many people were coming and the steaks were a bit chewy, that being said they noticed our disappointment and quickly gave us new ones which were far better. Excellent service.

    Probably the worst service experience. The food wasn’t bad but for the cost, wasn’t worth it. Took us forever to get an order, or any sort of refill and staff were unpleasant

    Beautiful decor and ambiance, brunch was awesome. Service was slow as seemed our server was the bartender as well so seemed like they were short staffed- so was only disappointment as had booked well in advance since was showing off to friends from out of town.

    Definitely over priced for what it is. Very basic food portions, although the menu literally states that, so it’s no surprise. ie. the roast comes with one lone yorkshire (if you can call it that). for $50 you’d think it would include a side or be able to pour your own sauces (they control that). The food was delicious, but i found it over hyped and over priced

    Love Bluebird. The food is amazing. The service was great. Family and I shared the fondue and got a few more dishes to share since we wanted to try everything. So glad that we did share, if you can, get everything.

    Food was very good, but took over 45 minutes to be served, which is way too long for eggs on toast. I think the kitchen forgot our order. They did comp our coffee to apologize which was nice. Also there was no cream for the coffee, which is a strange thing to run out of at a brunch place. Nice ambience, but we were seated near the door and there was a very cold breeze every minute or two when someone opened it.
