   Went tonight for a meal and unfortunately did not live.up to expectation. My wife ordered the duck, which came out cold along with other parts of the meal. , advised they would cook it again but in reality they reheated it and so it was over done. Not what you expect from such an establishment and considering it was the head chef that made this decision makes it even worse. We certainly won't be visiting again

   Brioche with my starter was solid, seemed like it had been over heated in a microwave. Yes it was replaced with a fresh one. By this time my husband had finished his or it would have been cold. I stated i couldn’t eat chilli but it had chilli in it. This caused bad stomach cramps for the following 12 hours. My main course came on a cold plate so the food was like warm. Yes our server was very attentive and the views were amazing however I found it overpriced for what we had.

   Food and service from our server....AMAZING. Our host who sat us down, different story. I booked this a month ago as tonight was my wife and I 10 wedding anniversary. I surprised my wife on Thursday and flew us across the country to come spend the weekend here in Banff. When I booked, I specifically asked for a window table to make our night that much more special. Our host put us at a table away from the window and when I asked about our reservation, he told me it was based on first come, best dressed. I was shocked. I didn't make a fuss, even though there was a free table there and he told me someone had been waiting an hour and a half for it, I don't think it should have made a difference since I reserved it a month earlier. Again, our server was amazing and so was the food, but for our next visit to Banff, we'll go eat to a different restaurant instead

   My wife had to wait a long time to get a table and as it was my daughter’s birthday I had called ahead to the restaurant letting them know that it was her birthday but there was no show of celebration. At East Side Mario’s, at least the serving and waiting team come out and sing and bring some dessert.

   It’s always a pleasure to return to Sky Bistro this place never disappoints. The panoramic views alone are worth the trip. A big thanks to Benjamin for being so helpful during the reservation process. Everything went smoothly thanks to his attention and care. We started with the salmon gravlax, which was rich, flavorful, and beautifully plated. For our mains, we shared the duck and bison both were exceptional, cooked to perfection and bursting with bold flavors. Jerome, our server, was fantastic. He was not only knowledgeable but also made some excellent recommendations that really elevated our meal. The entire staff deserves a shout-out every plate was presented with an explanation of the ingredients and finishing touches, which added a thoughtful and personal touch to the experience. If you’re ever in Banff, I highly recommend making time for a meal at Sky Bistro.

    We had lunch after riding the Banff Gondola up. The food, atmosphere, views, and service made for an unforgettable experience.
