   Excellent wait staff. Food is good. Not a bad option if you're staying in the hotel and don't want to venture outside.

   The location of the buffet is usually upstairs, on the east side of the hotel. It's currently under renovation and as a result have opened a temporary location on the lower level adjacent to the Starbucks coffee. The seating is tight and doesn't feel very inviting. I believe it's actually a converted hallway of the hotel. The buffet isn't very large, which consisted of cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, sliced fruits, salmon locks, bagels, toast, mini waffles, scrambled eggs, eggs benedict, sausage, bacon, potatoes, and maybe a couple of other items which elude me at this time. I really don't think that the $30. price tag justifies the setting or selection. I don't think that I'll be back to this brunch, but I'm looking forward for the opening of the new restaurant in April.

   Not what we expected for a Fairmont restaurant. It was very poor for a boxing day brunch

   Don't go here until they finished the reconstruction. Period. Slow service, tables are in the hallway, decent food.

   This hotel dining facility has been set up while rennovations to the usual lounge and dining spaces are underway. Unfortunately, the result reflects the ad hoc nature of the facility. Staff try, but were confused and error prone, missed some of the ordered items and the whole thing really didn't work very well. While the temporary set-up allows the hotel to offer an in-premises dining facility, service is slow, process is chaotic, space is cramped and claustrophopic, and even the quality of the food missed the standard we have formerly enjoyed in the permanent facilities. We tried it again for Sunday breakfast and sadly found it consistent with our earlier Friday evening experience. Hopefully once the newly revamped facilities open, the former standard for quality and ambiance will return.

   We went for a Sunday breakfast brunch for my birthday. Little that I knew that this restaurant was so small and most importantly the food was cold. Very disappointing. PS. Nothing special on your birthday at this place

   Not our best Fairmont experience. It seems the restaurant is under renovations and they've relocated temporarily to a hallway. No windows, no ambience, terribly loud and the menu choices weren't very good. Lots of bar-type food rather than restaurant food. Disappointed with our date night.

   When I talked with the food and beverage personnel who phoned me back after I inquired about a reservation, they said the Rimrock was under renovation and turkey supper was being served in a “pop up” restaurant with the Boulevard. I asked if it still had a Rimrock type ambience and was told yes it did..... No it does not. It’s a brightly lit hallway with tables on either side that runs beside the Boulevard bistro. Not very nice. Food was good though. Wish they’d been honest about the locale. Would have gone to a different hotel for thanksgiving supper if I’d have known.
