Everyone kept recommending Lupo to us for our Banff trip and I was honestly worried it would have…read moregotten overhyped to us. However, it was not at all! Perfectly hyped :) We made a reservation for 8:30 PM on a long summer night and there seemed to be a few other empty tables for walk-in's. The waiter had some recommendations and we mainly went off of that. The pizza was heavenly!! The most unique combination of flavors, pistachio in a savory pizza was incredible! The pasta with the lemon sauce was another favorite, it especially felt perfect for summer. The service was great and it also has some mountain view's which we definitely enjoyed.

Note: We never got to eat here…read more We made our reservation several days in advance and clearly noted that we'd be bringing our small dog and requested patio seating. Apparently, reading reservation notes isn't part of the reservation process at Lupo, because they didn't bother telling us dogs weren't allowed until three hours before our reservation. Having a no-dog policy is your choice. Having absolutely no respect for your customers' time is another. You had days to tell us. Instead, you waited until the last minute and left us scrambling to find another restaurant. Thankfully, Princess Sofia Pizza was happy to seat us outside, and the food and service were outstanding. Funny how one restaurant can communicate like professionals while another can't manage to read a reservation. If you're considering Lupo, don't assume they'll actually review your reservation before the day of your visit. We won't be giving them another chance.

We had the lobster roll (not enough chunks and bread was not warm by the time I got it), Alberta steak (super tasty!), burrata and seafood salad were ok.

Spectacular lake Louise views

Love love love this place. Came here for brunch (and surprised to see that it's a steakhouse…read moreplace...thought we got the wrong place). Great ambience, lovely and (VERY) attentive services. 3 people checked on us to see if anyone is already helping or if we need anything. Ordered the prime rib toast (wich is unexpectedly very delish..favorful..balanced...unlike all those toast i have eaten before...omg, im drooling as im typing). And ordered french omellette (my friend is vegetarian and she said it's absolutely tasty and yummy and she is happy to see quite good options for no-meat dish). We went to 4 other places during our 3days in banff, this is the ONLY place she praised (not simply bc of veg options,but the fact that its delish). That means something! They also generously gave us lemon cheesecake as bday cake (it was my bday and kinda nice to have small sweet celebration considering i was away from home). It was also our last day and we went to airport right after this brunch . What a beautiful end of our trip. Thank you, bluebird team!

If I wasn't there for that, I would have been disappointed and felt that was too expensive. The broccolini was delightful and my husband really enjoyed the "bacon" for dipping into the fondue.

However, the people next to us ordered various cuts of steak and those looked unbelievable!

At first I thought the food portions were small but once you start enjoying each entree, you realize they are just the right size! The simple Caesar salad was amazing. The shrimp aglio e olio appetizer had so many large prawns we couldn't finish. We also enjoyed the crispy calamari with our children as well. For our main entrees we stuck with seafood - cioppino and rockfish. Both amazing but enjoyed the cioppino slightly more. If we weren't so full from the appetizers would have wanted to try the lobster carbonara. Can't wait to come here again on our visit back to Banff. The staff at the Fairmont Banff Springs are always so attentive and that goes the same at Costello Italiana. The food came out timely and it was such a lovely dinner. All the food was prepared with such details. The ingredients were so fresh. Great dinner!

Our server, Rob, was incredibly attentive and friendly--plus he gave some great menu recommendations. The decor was beautiful, and we were seated in a circle around a fireplace. Alberta Beef Tataki, 5/5 -- Not a huge portion but we savored every bite. This was incredible. Maui Wowie Roll, 4/5 -- So delicious, but could've used more ahi tuna King Salmon Sashimi, 5/5 -- No notes, this was amazing Spicy King Salmon Press, 4/5 -- Loved the red miso flavor. Would've liked more salmon on top of the rice. Smoky Ginger Margarita, 4/5 -- Great tartness and not overly smoky. Great drink! If I'm ever back in Banff, there's no question we would return to Hello Sunshine!

It came with 3 rib bones which each had a lot of meat. The sauce is pretty sweet and can get overpowering if you dip too much into the meat. Food overall was alright. The ambience is pretty nice.
