The waitress apologized and mentioned she would have the kitchen make the correct ones, but my wife being a good person said no need to. She said they were really good, and some things happen for a reason. I had the Ribeye and buttermilk mashed potatoes with gravy. The Ribeye I wished to be a better cut, but for the price I was not disappointed. The restaurant has a very nice comfortable atmosphere. I see many reviews complain about the wait time, but had no issues. However, it was a Wednesday evening, and can see reservations would be a good option on a weekend.

The Rundle Bar at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel is an absolutely beautiful space. The balance of…read moreold world charm and elegance is prominent from the moment you walk into the iconic space. The space used to be the original lobby from 1888 but now occupies the bar. We've had the pleasure of visiting fantastic bars in a lot of places but Rundle Bar is special. The service level is as good as it can be. The staff makes you feel like you're in their home. They're incredibly attentive but not annoying. We had great conversation with many of the them and they genuinely care about you having a memorable experience. The views on the patio (alfresco terrace) are as epic as it gets with views of the breathtaking mountains everywhere you look. It's been named the best patio in Canada for years and you will see why when you walk out of the beautiful Rundle Bar onto the patio. The menu is made up of classics and signature creations. I had the Ember which is an old fashioned variation made up of high quality spirits and an infused maple syrup it was one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time. It didn't hurt that it came with a smoke show. It was so good that I have to create a separate post with photos and videos vs. detailing it here. Trust me, it's gorgeous!!! Banff has been on my list forever and I finally visited. The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel was equally a place I needed to experience and it didn't disappoint. The Rundle Bar was a bonus I wasn't expecting so make sure you make time to visit this magical place when you finally check Banff off of your list. I'm definitely going back with my beautiful wife because we have to experience it together. You need to go. Salute @thejohnnycocktail

Fella recommended High Rollers for a burger. It was a smash burger. Good size but not huge. Cooked well. Added bacon and the fries were great! One friend had a milkshake and another had a local ipa.

We popped in here tonight after a long day of driving from Lake Louise. Our Airbnb host recommended…read morethe spot and I'm glad that they did. I definitely enjoyed the craft cocktails, and the attention to details. There was so many I wanted to try. My wife ordered a drink and it was really strong. Felt bad for her haha. We ordered the duck legs and my wife normally doesn't eat duck but she devoured them! I enjoyed them as well. We shared the dragon bowl because the description was interesting and it said sweet potato glass noodles, when they came out and we tried it and I was like oh it taste like Japchae Korean noodles! The flavor was really good and it had a little nice kick of spiciness to it. Adding crispy tofu is a plus! Overall, really cool date spot and the vibe is pretty chill. Service was great.

This was a recommendation and it was our first dinner in Canmore.

The vibe and the staff diffused our mood, the food was excellent, and my 20 year old daughter felt comfortable enough to try an alcoholic drink (given she is of age in Alberta). They turned a night that could have gone south into a positive memory-making night. Would recommend.

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!

Ramsay Lounge is a hidden gem located within the Fairmont Banff Springs. I remember walking through…read morethe area during a visit in September 2019 but the lounge wasn't open. However, during a more recent visit (June 2022), we were able to stop for a post-dinner beverage. Only open Friday to Tuesday from 5pm to 11pm, Ramsay Lounge is worth checking out after a long day of exploring the breathtaking Banff area and Banff Springs hotel. Maxime L. took great care of my friend and me despite it being a bit busy on the Monday evening we were there. Anyway, definitely stop and enjoy this tucked-away secret spot for yourself!

Thank you both for helping us have a fantastic 18th anniversary when that hotel, the whole town and even Canmore was booked up!

I visited Bear Street Tavern based off of a recommendation by a coworker. Beer and pizza is usually…read morea winning combination and Bear Street Tavern is a great example of this. Admittedly, I'm not much of a drinker but I'll have some once in a while and Bear Street seems to have a pretty good selection. I tried a Vietnamese Coffee Stout which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more of an eater than I am a drinker and the eats at Bear Street Tavern are excellent. My party got 2 pizzas and a salad and we enjoyed it all. To start we got the Tavern Bowl. It's a bunch of different vegetables with a Tahini Miso Dressing and kimchi on top. All the different textures and flavors worked really well together and the salad served as a nice break between bites of pizza. The Wheeler Hut pizza has mushrooms, ricotta, truffle oil, pesto, and mozzarella. If you're a fan of truffle flavor you'll enjoy this pizza. As soon as it was brought out I could already smell the truffle. The Mediterranean has olives, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, red onions, chili flakes, spinach, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. A little busier than the Wheeler Hut, but it was equally delicious. I'm not sure which pizza I liked more. Both pizzas had a fantastic crust with some char. Substantial enough to stand up to the toppings but still a little doughy for a nice chew. The char gives a nice crunch as well. Service is quick and friendly and the prices are fair, especially in a tourist area. I definitely recommend Bear Street Tavern.

Banff is full of fine dining establishments and this one seems fine enough…read more I had the salmon fillet and it was fairly good. Salmon was well done and the polenta was very creamy and really good. Only problem was I asked for the salmon to be under done and I don't think they did that.
