“Amazing!! I don't understand why this restaurant doesn't get more traffic. Perhaps because it's affiliated with the Banff Resort golf course and is out of the way? Either way, it has the best views in all of Banff, it's got almost 360 degree windows all around, sitting right in the middle of a gorgeous golf course with plenty of wildlife grazing around. I had pulled pork entree, which easily was the best pulled pork I've ever had. It literally exploded in your mouth:) David the server was extremely helpful and friendly, he made great suggestions for the sides, and was a great conversationalist. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!“
