You can make a reservation here but do ask for an outdoor seating . Must try the escargot with bone marrow on a bone! Amazing. Also the bison carpaccio . Has Asian fusion with Korean kimchi on top

Tom Coates

The pizzas are good. As are the cocktails . They’ll try and get you to try their rosemary infused chilli oil and honey combo with the pizza , but honestly it’s sort of bullshit.

Rory Parness

Snag a table on the terrace for Sunday brunch and get some French toast . Make sure you keep your receipt for 10% off at the great pizza place downstairs.

Caroline Umali

The staff were amazing and the food selection was to die for. Best escargot and bone marrow by far!!!

The Hawaiian pizza is insanely good. Great lunch ! Don't forget to add a drizzle of chili oil and honey . Yum!

Jim Bailey

Excellent local Canadian fare. I enjoined Bison ravioli and Venison with a glass of Zinfandel .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mary

Pricey but good food and great atmosphere. Wild game stars in many of the entree dishes but they may not appeal to all palates.

Alan Shapiro

Best meal in Banff by far. Two nights in a row now and the range is epic and sublime. This New Yorker can't wait to come back.

Frank Han

All meats are perfect! Kids' menu is also great! I will definitely come back!

Mika Tt

All the meats and steaks are amazing. Favorites: bison carpaccio and bison ribeye .

Trish and Darren Springer

Sunday lunch is a brunch menu . Still has bison and great morning cocktails including a yum espresso cocktail .

Sasha Savossin

Very romantic atmosphere !!! Food is impeccable!!! Service is excellent and very attentive!!!

Chelsea Newton

all brunch items are exquisite but a fav is the French toast - sweet and savoury all at the same time

Joanna Sable

Massive local love, great space, service and a creative wine list . Go here, it's fun.

Leslie Pringle wrrldgrrl

Eat a piece or two of your pizza then drizzle the chili oil and honey over it. Your mouth will never be happier. :-)

Stijn De Praeter

Great bison rib-eye and very friendly service ! Thx for the beer tip! Cheers from Belgium

Cynthia Lin

First meat-farm to table restaurant I've seen! And they pull it off well . Bison carpaccio was great

Alex Samarsky

Meat and cheese plate is a killer. Pleasantly surprised with Vineland's Cabernet Franc 2014

Clarence Bennett

Great flatbread , osso bucco was good and rutting elk red was the perfect beverage!

Adam Sigel

Try the duck shepherd's pie .

Belinda B

One of the best meals I think I've ever had. Service is amazing, food is even better! Leave room for dessert . Sit downstairs for a relaxed lounge vibe.

Jake Edwards

Sit at the bar . Good cocktails - great ice cubes.

Kelly Shelton

Trout was great.

Christoph Kuert

Bison tasting trio is spectacular!

Christopher Vincent

The upper patio has great views and the lower patio is sheltered with afternoon sun.

Dirk Reimer

Very nice meals

John Koht

Food was good. Service was slow. Really slow. I got the bison ribeye , it was more of a tenderloin than a ribeye . Still delicious tho.

Jason Silverman

The beef tenderloin is excellent!

Massimo Lusardi

Try the signature bison short ribs ! delicious!!

Karen Rodi

Bison ribs !

Greg Hutton

Smoked Bison pizza with Edamame & carmalized onions is the go to!

Chris Lamothe

The home made smoke ketchup is to die for.

Oliver Vögtlin

Normally I do not rate places I were, but...3 things were outstanding here: amuse bouche (home made garlic bread ), bison burger and the friendly service

Shaun Williams

Brilliant food, shame about the poor service.
