Great food in downtown banff. Had great selection of beers and Canadian whiskeys. We tried the shrimp and crab donut which is like a seafood dip with puff pastry instead of crackers-it was delicious. They had great pizza as well

We know this restaurant so we know what to expect. Usually I like it quieter (not empty, just some nice quiet music and fewer people) but I didn't mind the happy babble this time.
