    Firstly, please disregard any reviews made before Nov 18. Their grand reopening has made ALL the difference. Chef Matt's new menu is incredible and based on our experience, he clearly runs a very tight ship and takes incredible pride in his work. Kudos to his creativity and passion for food and service. I have celiac disease and felt VERY safe in his kitchen's hands, and the menu was clearly labeled with good variety. For some brief context, all the food we ordered was excellent, aside from a very small issue with my side dish. To be honest, I would have eaten it as is, but being the reopening, we were urged to let staff know if anything seemed off. Within minutes I had a fresh side dish and the staff took extra care to note that it was my fiancé's 30th birthday, treating him like a king with bubbly and dessert. Server Morgan and Chef Matt were PHENOMINAL. Their service and professionalism made a $300 dinner feel like a $3000 dining experience, resulting in an unforgettable 30th birthday. We have raved and roared nonstop to our friends and colleagues and have seriously considered moving our upcoming wedding celebration just to have them host. Chef Matt not only took our happiness seriously, but we left feeling as if we'd made a new friend. Bless him and his mama's recipe. My only note, which has nothing to do with the front staff, is the layout near the windows felt very cramped. People (including children) are seated alongside server tables which leaves tableware, particularly steak knives, in reach of tiny hands with an easy safety and cross-contamination risk, and servers had limited walking areas, having to constantly squeeze between my fiancé's chair and the person behind him, which was very distracting (again, NOT the server's fault!). I know management wants to make the view accessible to as many patrons as possible, but I hope they reconsider the seating arrangement near the windows for these reasons. An amazing experience and we will be back!!

Your kind words about Chef Matt's creativity, passion for food, and tight ship management mean a lot to us and I will be sure to share your kid words. We're also delighted to know that your dietary needs were accommodated safely, and you felt confident in our kitchen. We appreciate your understanding regarding the small issue with your side dish and are pleased that our staff promptly addressed it, ensuring your fiancé's 30th birthday celebration was unforgettable.

    We travelled from Ontario for my wife’s 50th birthday, we are travelers and foodies so when I found this location it was a must do. Scheduling from out of province proved to be difficult as I received mostly automated reply’s at best, however once we arrived in banff staff was more than accommodating. Our reservation was moved as well as our gondola booking to better serve our request to witness the sunset during our meal. On site staff was delightful. We were treated very well, and upon hearing it was a birthday we were treated to a complimentary flute of Prosecco to celebrate. Service was steady and knowledgeable, leaving us to enjoy the fare and views but always close and attentive when anything was needed. Our meals matched the views and service, presentations were flawless and full flavor profiles from every bite, the only downside was actually having to choose as the menu offered so many fabulous sounding dishes. When we finished we were given ample time to take in the ambiance before taking care of the bill and making our way to the rooftop observation deck where there were outdoor fire pits and the most spectacular views of Banff lighting the valley below. Overall I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

    Portion sizes are very small. Taste and execution is great though, just not worth the price. Next time I would opt for the Alpine Buffett, located in the same building.

    The view is gorgeous, really outstanding. The Char Nicoise was cooked just right. The 62 degree egg was a nice touch. My first experience with it; poached but not runny. Our waiter was nice and then the manager came over just to talk even though we had no problems. So glad we went!

    Was a little disappointed with this one. I had specially requested a window seat for my now fiance and I to enjoy a surprise engagement/anniversary lunch. They ended up seating us 10 feet back without the views. I know seating isn’t guaranteed but I wanted this to be special and it was a tad ruined. Overall food was great and service as well. For the mistake they did accommodate us with champagne and dessert which was nice.
