We were here with a group of 14 however our reservations were for 10. There was plenty of room for the extra 4 people but our waiter was highly irritated. The ambiance is very outdated and they really should lose the phones at the tables. The prices are for a classy restaurant but this place has little class. Food was... More

Went in a group of four, the restaurant was packed to the rafters but we were seated quickly. Our waiter was very pleasant and knowledgeable and took drink and food orders quickly. Our drinks were brought quickly and our starters soon after. We all decided on chicken soup to start, it was delicious, very well seasoned! To follow the starters... More

The food is common but quite good, but service is owful. The kitchen takes a long time to prepare simple burger and the waiters are inattentive and rude.

Myself and my fiancé came here on the last night of our stay in Banff, we had been eyeing this place up the whole time we'd been here! We chose the 4 course fondue, which started with salad or soup (both were really nice), then moved on to a gruyere and emmental fondue which came with French bread, this was... More

Drinks are $9.25 or more. Fondue was around $50-60/ plate and they sure didn't serve much. Tiny little servings of meat. A tiny serving of vegetables for our table of 6 to share. The toblerone fondue with fruit at the end was the best part but again, tiny servings for price paid. And when you leave, you smell like cooking... More

Even if you don't like exotic game meats. DEFINITELY MUST try the hot stone cooking. Meats were extremely fresh. The restaurant is a bit on the dimly lit side, but adds to the "atmosphere". We were unsure about our waiter at first, but Jimmy soon opened up to us, and was an EXCELLENT host. He was patient and explained everything... More

We've never done a fondu dinner before but this was a blast. I've never had so much fun just eating. The servers are great and get you into the mood and are very social. This is a must do in Banff...we just stumbled upon the place but it was a real hoot and the food was beyond delicious....cheap? ...not really... More

The service is what stood out here. I have very very picky kids and normally I try to find a place where they will serve fries because that's one thing they're guaranteed to eat. This place did not...and they made a fresh veggie plate for my son since he's a fry eating vegetarian. The server was very nice about it... More
