    While the food was excellent, the service could be improved. Training in the hospitality sector is difficult, but with the level of food quality ( which was excellent) the service should match. Our waitress was adequate but not taking time to explain the menu or taking a moment to highlight some favorites was disappointing. She made the dining experience feel a bit rushed and not fully present.

    We would give a 5 star for the ambiance but no AC. It was pretty humid and we were by the kitchen. Food was amazing!

    We stayed at the Otter Hotel for our anniversary and had dinner and breakfast at Good Folk restaurant. It is a modern looking restaurant and has a patio and open area looking onto the mountains which is lovely. For dinner, we shared the endive salad, and a 10 oz prime beef tenderloin steak, and for dessert orange chocolate ganache. Everything was fantastic taste wise and the salad was large. They had a good cocktail and wine list (they did not have single pours for prosseco or brut, only rose/red wine bubbly, BUT for our anniversary they gave us complimentary bubbly which was quite thoughtful and lovely!). Breakfast was very tasty as well, we got french toast and eggs benedict and both were done really well, and were very large dishes. The dishes were on the expensive side (15+ for wine, 17+ cocktails, +20 appetizers; prime beef was $75), but we expected that given the location. However, the Otter hotel provided us with a $30 credit for our anniversary which we used towards breakfast! Service itself was standard, would have liked to have our server for dinner check in a bit more often (we had to flag down to ask for wine) but that is me being super picky. Overall though I would recommend the restaurant, it has great food and a great patio / ambience, and of course the little anniversary gifts were an amazing touch! Thanks for a great experience.

    We had the scallops and pork belly appetizer, curry mussels, and ribeye for 2. It was all so delicious! The scallop and pork belly dish was unreal. So many amazing flavors. Waiter was super nice and very attentive. Drinks/ wine were good. A little outside of the main Banff city center. I would go back!
