Terrific service, super happy we made it in for happy hour too! A FABulous maple old fashioned, and everything we ate was so delicious. The food could have been a little warmer but just information, not necessarily a critique. Indoor and outdoor seating. Menus and tables could have been cleaner but this place has a bar vibe so....let it go.

The texture was so soft, and the salmon was seasoned very nicely. Their beers on tap were also pretty good and they had a decent selection to choose from. The ambiance of this place is also very hip and modern, with an upstairs dining area featuring large windows overlooking the mountains, and a downstairs area for the brewery

I had made reservations for Tank310 about a month in advance. We showed up and they said they…read moredidn't have record of our reservations. I pulled up my email and showed them and they said "we'll get you seated asap". It was then they tried to put us at a table near the elevator/host stand. We politely asked for a window seat instead, which we were given. The views are not like in the photos. They have tint on the windows so you can't see the mountains if the sun is shining in. I'll post a photo of what it really looks like below. Anyway, we had to wait 15 minutes for our very sweet server to take our order... and then about 40 minutes for a kids cheese pizza, a pepperoni pizza and a salad. My salad was god awful. Overdressed with soggy, mealy watermelon and bruised strawberries. The pizzas weren't much better, too much crust and too much grease. Getting drinks refilled took forever because they were slammed. I would not recommend.

Our male server was very welcoming and customer service oriented. How thoughtful of him to offer mocktails. Thanked him for the offer. Typical me settled for H2O to hydrate. Elk and Kale Pizza served piping hot and made fresh with highest quality ingredients. Every ingredient integrated well with each other. I'm able to taste different textures, seasonings and flavors. Scrumptious and amazingly tasty that I consumed the whole pie. One of the best pizzas I've tasted in my lifetime! Huge restaurant with gender neutral washrooms. Highly recommend. Worth visiting.

The spinach & four cheese dip with pita was excellent though, although I wish chips were served instead of soft pita. Cornbread with that maple butter was TO DIE FOR. Highly recommend that.

Unfortunately, our experience here was extremely disappointing. We had walked by a few times and…read morereally liked the atmosphere, so we were excited to make a reservation. We were seated upstairs on the balcony, which was a nice spot and had a great vibe. The service started off fine, but things quickly went downhill. It took over 20 minutes to receive our drinks after ordering. While bringing them out, our server accidentally spilled an iced tea all over the table and onto my white pants. Mistakes happen, but we were surprised that there was no apology, and the response felt very dismissive. Shortly after, while we were cleaning up, she came back and sprayed cleaner on the table but accidentally sprayed it onto me instead. Again, there was no acknowledgment or apology. A few minutes later, she brought out a replacement drink, but it was the wrong one. When we pointed it out, there was some confusion and we were initially told it was correct before another staff member came over and brought the right drink. Unfortunately, the food was also a letdown. The bison burgers were extremely dry, and the ribs were so tough and chewy that they were difficult to eat. We were really hoping the meal would make up for the service issues, but it left us disappointed. Given the issues, we expected the spilled drink would at least be removed from the bill. Instead, we noticed additional drink refills on our tab that we didn't order. Overall, it was a frustrating experience, especially because we had been looking forward to trying this place. Hopefully this was just an off night, but based on our visit, we wouldn't recommend it.

My running group that I was traveling with brought our party to the Elk & Oarsman for a quick dinner. This place is a lodge-style sports bar that is located in the heart of the Town of Banff. There are TV screens all around that show live sports and a large fireplace. You can see the beautiful mountain scenery from the rooftop patio. It was nice of Elk & Oarsman to accommodate our large party. The service was great here. Elk & Oarsman is a sports bar that serves good food. The menu has a variety of pub fare favorites like bar snacks, sharables, salads, flatbreads, elk dishes and burgers. I was starving and ordered the Buck Hunter because I wanted to try something with elk in it. This elk & bacon burger patty comes loaded with condiments on a brioche bun. I really liked the tasted of the smoked mayo on my burger. I also got a Broccoli Cheddar Soup on the side. Banded Peak Brewing is a popular beer made in Alberta that is named after a mountain in the Canadian Rockies. I grabbed their Amber Lager to pair with my dinner. There is a fun lively atmosphere here at Elk & Oarsman. I was only here for brief time, but enjoyed it. This is a solid place to check out if you like sports and good food.

It was cheesey and a big serving and a hot at our table. We also had a bison burger with french fries that was good and cooked medium. Fries wete hot and crispy. We also ordered a 16 hour brined pork chop dinner that came with mashed potatoes whipped cantillini beans. Tge chop was a bit dry for my taste, it needed more sauce on it. Potatoes were good but my favorite was the cantillini beans. They were excellent. We had good service, and they have both indoor, outdoor seating. Parking is an issue in Canmore.

Although Banff had been so crowded the day before it was much more bearable today and that plus the odd hour of our eating made it easy to get a table downstairs in the bar and have prompt service. It was lunch and we wanted to eat light so we ordered a couple salads. They were great! It's a sports bar and they are set up for crowd and fun and watching whatever there is to see, but today it was about a break for a light lunch. They clearly can handle whatever crowd and whatever festivities come through their door. So when you're in Banff, looking for a place to eat, don't pass Earl's because you think it's only a bar. It's a lovely place with a varied menu, great people watching, outside seating, varied menu, and comfortable seats to enjoy a meal or a game or whatever you're in town for.

Came here for dinner due to unique menu selection (love at first 'sight' of the menu')…read more Nice ambience. Busy place. We got table right away. They came 3x and we were not ready to order. By the time we were ready, it took a while to find someone to take our order. The most wanted item is sold out, a fact that they told us upon ordering. Will be appreciated if we know ahead of time so we have more time to consider 'back up item'. There was a table beside us (came after us) who also discussed about ordering same sold-out items, and I was very tempted to tell them that it's sold out. But I figure it's not my place to say because the restaurant must have its own reason for NOT telling this upfront!!?????!! Ordered pork belly skewer , shiitake skewer, shrimp in spicy peanut sauce, and aburi salmon handroll, miso creme brulee. Best items are the shrimp with spicy peanut sauce, and miso creme brulee. Just wow!! For the rest: -If u have eaten shiitake before (at home for example) , u know nothing can go wrong with shiitake as it's already flavorful in its own (safe choice). -Pork belly has good flavor but kinda too fatty (it is a totally different style from the one I usually eat at other places). -Aburi salmon handroll doesnt taste like aburi at all. Just normal handroll basically. Nth special. It was my friend's birthday, we asked if they hv noodle (considering we were farrr from home) and they said it's only available during lunch (which is understandable), but then nth else was done to help celebrate this moment when they hear this fact (simple smile or simple 'happy birthday' could be a gift in its own). Overall, food-wise, we agree on best item and that this place is kinda meh (in terms of food selection and feels like very few 'flavor-worthed' ones).

I liked our server, even though he forgot I had asked for a salad instead of fries and he had to be reminded we wanted a to go box for my wife's pizza. We got to chat with him for a couple of minutes, nice guy. I think he is just someone who is easily distracted.
