    A fantastic view with good service and food. It's on the pricier side, but know that you're paying for the view and the service.

    Sonia was our hostess and she was an excellent hostess. She checked with our allergies and made sure it was taken care off. The food quality and presentation is superb. They leave you alone to enjoy the tea and the surroundings. We were facing the lake Louise and Victoria Glacier at the far end, lovely view and had wonderful time. We could not get to desert and they packed for us enjoy later. One of most memorable event of our lifetime.

    Excellent service and ambience. The food I would say was a bit underwhelming compared to the afternoon tea at Fairmont Banff a few years ago and the way they bring them but otherwise we were all very satisfied.

    Should tell in advance that if one of the guests is not consuming, he can not sit on the table.
