    Weird service staff, manager seemed nonchalant. Our steaks were not great, bison meatballs tasted like overcooked ground chuck. Will not be returning.

    My favorite dish was the Linguine al Limone; I absolutely loved it. They have an incredible drink menu with numerous options. Both the food and service were exceptional. The energy and vibe of the place were perfect. I would give it a 10/10 and highly recommend it.

    Our first time to Banff and decided to try out this establishment. The food was great but the service was lacking as it seemed our server was busy with other tables and we were added for her to work. At times we went for a long period without her stopping by to refill drinks - I think I heard another couple having to wait for a long time as well on service. I don’t blame our server - someone doesn’t show up for work - it affects the experience of the clients.

    We did not enjoy this restaurant. The small coffee machine was broken so no coffee or hot tea. Food took a long time. Avoid the hamburger. Two very small hockey pucks cooked hard. Food overall was just average. So many other restaurants to choose from that are much better.

    Our seafood linguini was undercooked and bland. The food took 30 minutes to come out, and our server forgot about our drink refill.
