    Georgia was wonderful! Bison ribeye was so flavourful and a bouquet of root vegetables was the perfect accompaniment.

    The main course was poor: trout overseasoned, Swiss chard overcooked, too many chick peas and these did not combine nicely with the fish. The appetizer and dessert were nice.

    I would of scored higher however as a vegetarian who can’t eat lentils I found the options poor. I couldn’t enjoy the 3 course deal as it included trout as the only main course option and on the other menu I could only choose endive salad one night as my main whereas it was only an appetizer and I needed to ask for the chicken to be swapped for prawns with the pasta meal. The food itself was delicious and well presented but more vegetarian options please

    Great food. Loved the bison poutine, lentil stew, BC trout etc. Had Blueberry 2.0 which was also very tasty, but a little too much ice. The place was comfortable, but should have had more decor considering the price of the meal. Our server was attentive and kind.

    We had ribs and a creamy pasta dish with prawns and scallops. The ribs were good but pasta was very light on prawns and scallops, only two of each in the entire dish. Wine also quite pricey.

    We thought that the endive salad was really good. But it would be nicer with feta instead of goat cheese. The bison burger was a bit dry. And the french fries in the poutine were limp. Although the gravy was tasty. The cocktails were very nice. The wine is quite expensive. Service was good.

    5 people dining. Started with 7 otem charcuterie board which was outstanding. All 5 entrees were great. The warm gingerbread cake dessert was a great finish. Will definitely go back. The only negative was the overall ambience. I liked the old restaurants look & feel - more rustic & warm but that's just personal taste.

    Had the deer carpaccio and endives for starter and both very tasty and just the right size for a starter.m. For the main we had the 18oz steak for 2 which was excellent, I’m marking down a point because they weren’t duck fat cooked fingerling potatoes with it and definitely not enough veggies for 2. Having said that the veg were al dente which makes a refreshing change from the massively overcooked veg often served. Would definitely visit again!

    Server was great.. two kids next to us weren't but that's no one's fault. The cook butched my elk the first time cooked it until it was jerkey.. fixed it the second try. Was here 4 years ago and the food was to die for but the quality of meals being sent out are definitely missing something.

    Had a very nice meal, with great service, although the restaurant was more crowded than they were staffed up for. A little sad to see a giant TV over in the lounge, taking away from the ambience, but at least it was not loud. The food was great, worth coming up to try even if you're not staying at the hotel.

    Service was nice but extremely slow despite it not being very busy. The bison burger was extremely disappointing with its lack of flavour and greasiness to the point of not being able to finish it because of the buns being completely soaked in grease. Overall quite disappointed, nothing special here that we would come back.

    My wife and I have been coming to Buffalo Mountain Lodge (BML) since we met 32 years ago. The reincarnation of its main restaurant into "The Prow" is a huge miss. The former elegance and ambiance of a mountain lodge is gone. Whoever decorated The Prow couldn't decide if it was a diner or a fusion bar. My rib eye steak, ordered medium rare, came out medium well. I sent it back and was given another that was medium and thin. Not impressed with the cuts of meat or the kitchen. We were there celebrating my wife's birthday and retirement. As I said, my wife and I have enjoyed our stays and meals at BML many times over the years, but this underwhelming experience will be our last.

    Good food good env I wanted to make sure birthday messages are written beside the cake. The staff promised, yet turned out the one responsible didn’t go to work. And others didn’t know how to write. But the hospitality of the waitress still made me think everything a good though a bit disappointed

    Really enjoyed our experience at Prow. Our drinks were excellent and our food was delicious. The service was prompt and attentive. My dessert was epic! I had the house made vanilla ice cream with espresso. I believe it was called the Shaft Affogato. Highly recommended. We will be returning and recommending to friends.
