    The food was delicious. The waiter, charming, explained the menu and the possible options for our celiac daughter. The only downside was that they were a little slow in bringing the food. It is true that we were a large table of 10 people,

    Hello Leticia, Thank you for taking your time to share your feedback. Whilst I'm grateful to hear you enjoyed our service and food, I am apologetic about your wait time on food. Excellence is what we strive for and on your night we missed the mark. Please contact me at ashton@banffbalkan.ca if you would like to discuss this further. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to hosting you again!

    The night started with a bang got the special for both me and the wife they are very accommodating for gluten-free. Had the wipped Feta to start amazing. The calamari was very good. Then we had the lamb shank very tender. Desert was included, but something happened that threw everything thing off service basically stopped, and options for Desert were gone. And it was pretty much take the bill see you later. No adjustments for no Desert crappy way to end what was a pretty cool experience

    If you're looking for a fun night with great food and entertainment, this is where to go in Banff. Not so if you're looking for a quiet romantic dinner.
