   Another lovely experience at this beautiful restaurant. We took some friends who used to live in Banff and they really enjoyed it. The shrimp handkerchief pasta was outstanding! I am definitely going to order that again. Wow, delicious. And the winter bruschetta is now a standing order, so good! See you next time!

   Absolutely phenomenal experience and every bit worth the hype. The service is beyond attentive, they make you feel as if they've known you forever. They take care in ensuring your experience is top notch. The food, the drinks, the ambience, service, everything was 10/10. Highly recommend!!

   We went on a Wednesday night so we could get the date night menu which was $40pp which is really cheap considering how big the meals and how good the food was. The carbonara was one of the best I have eaten out at a restaurant. Obviously you’re limited to what choices you have but the options on that date night menu were still great. We had great service, the music was good and we loved the venue. The deserts were also good but just not my sort of flavours maybe next time I’ll try the sorbet. And we wished the entrees were bigger as they were so delicious and when sharing between the two of us they went quickly. Would definitely come back

   Tried the 'date night' combo which was a good deal on Wed. Server was outstanding

   We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Such a lovely spot for a special occasion. Beautiful ambiance and our sweet server Clare was great.

   Wow! What and experience. After several bad misteps at other places in town, we almost cancelled our reservation. We are beyond grateful we did not. Service was incredible. Food was delightful and full of flavor. Service was a real treat and it was an exceptional evening beyond comparison. Flawless dinnig experience. The only downfall is we leave tomorrow and easily could have dined her every single night and there is so much more we wish to try. Thank you!!

    The food was decent and the focaccia was fresh and flavourful. The shrimp was good but the steak was overcooked even tho we ordered medium rare. Nothing else was outstanding so wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here.
