We had reservations for 8pm and ending up having to wait for a table to clear for about 15 minutes, which was alright, we understand. But the food was very bland. Not really worth your money. We had ordered the chicken and salmon dish and ended up only taking a few bites. The chicken was too salty and the salmon was very tasteless, no flavor 😕. But server was great. Just not worth our experience.

Bread was good nice and warm. Salad was good. They were out of almost all their wines and kept pushing ones higher than our price point. “Wine shipment coming tomorrow “ We ordered the Elk and the lamb and specifically asked for medium rare. Both were welllll done. The elk came with a mushroom/bread side which was burnt. After the wine fiasco I didn’t want to send back. But was disappointed

A beautiful restaurant in Emerald lake! We had the atlantic salmon and beef tenderloin. Our meals were delicious a very well presented. Dessert was warm peach galette with ice cream it was good, the galette was a bit hard to cut and had simple taste. There are many other options for dessert though! We had a table by the window with the view on the lake. It was a perfect evening! Thank you Mount Burgess for the excellent service!

This is the “top” dining room at the Emerald Lake Lodge. The Lodge positions this restaurant as “fine dining” however it really isn’t. Instead it is a typical hotel restaurant that is expensive. Hostess staff undertrained as my wife and I were told all window tables were taken and they wanted to put us at a lousy location for two in the restaurant. We had to escalate to the manager who then gave us a nice table. We also note that other window tables were open through-out our dining experience. The food is just a “B.” Some good dishes and some disappointing ones. If were to go back I would dine in their regular restaurant that is considerably less expensive and just as good (as we dined there the first night of a two night stay).

Absolutely amazing food and experience. By far the best meal we’ve had on our trip through the Canadian Rockies. We had Salmon, Halibut and the Buffalo Ribeye. All were incredibly delicious. The preparation and flavors are unmatched. Compliments to everyone in the kitchen and wait staff for a great dinner and evening.

The service and view were excellent but unfortunately the food was not. Fish and streaks were over cooked, presentation was just ok, prices were very high. Cocktails were hit or miss. If you are staying at ELLodge then it’s a solid option but if you are driving in from elsewhere, it’s likely not worth the drive.
