    Breakfast is wonderful!!!! Having to purchase your maple syrup, extra, for your blueberry pancakes, was rediculous. Yes, I ordered the pancake breakfast and SYRUP, of all things, is not included. One little shot glass of syrup, for over $2.00, was almost an insult to their customers. The only other shocker was ICED TEA is NOT REFILLED unless you want to pay over $3.00 again. I mean COME ON, it’s the cheapest beverage to make, basically water with some flavor, and you get one glass of it, ONE AND DONE. Completely up to the customer, but I reverted back to water with no ice, STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT???? Main thing to remember is you will love the food!!!, you just won’t love the extra unexpected fees. Don’t let this discourage you from going, just be ready for some unexpected expenses. Maybe they will rethink all of this with tourist season right on their heels. I think that would be a great way to keep current customers, and new ones!!!

    Made a reservation based on the Open Table reviews. We wouldn't go back again. We ordered Avocado Toast with turkey sausages, eggs benedict combo with apple cheddar crepe and traditional breakfast with pork sausages and a side of pancakes. All plates came with a huge amount of fried rounds of potatoes plus a little bit of fruit. The Avocado Toast was about the best meal as it was served as described. The eggs benedict were smothered in hollandaise sauce, which some people may like, but it was just too much and had to be scraped off. The apple cheddar crepes were overly sweet, as the apples were made into an apple pie filling and stuffed into the crepe. The sausages on the Traditional breakfast appeared to have been boiled, but were not fried after that to create a nice brown coating. Three sausages came with the meal, but we could only eat two due to their manner of preparation. The scrambled eggs were terrible. They tasted like boxed eggs, not fresh ones. They were inedible. The pancakes were OK, but the ones at IHOP are much better. The service was good, and all the food came reasonably quick. The restaurant was very busy with a long lineup at the door by the time we left. We were just disappointed with our meals after all the hype.

    We had 4 different entrees and everyone loved the food. Excellent service by a young girl from Chetsolvakia. We will be back on our trips from Calgary to Sicamous!

    The service was amazing and the ambiance is exactly what you expect from a cozy local spot in Canmore. The food was amazing, the best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had!
