We saw this place while walking through Banff downtown on Friday night and decided to give it a shot.The place from inside feels warm and cozy, TV's all around the dining and bar area. The patio had nice clear views of three sisters mountain in Canmore.Service:The Aussie server we had was good. I felt the service was quite a bit slow during our visit despite of less customers (around 12) in the restaurant.Food:Bad :We ordered the three cheese garlic flatbread, which was not even close to a normal flatbread. I don't know if it was made in house, but almost felt like it was frozen and heated after the order was placed.There was no seasoning at all, by the time we received it in on our table, it was almost close to a cold flatbread.The marinara sauce was blend, lack of seasoning, didn't go very well the flatbread. So we asked the server to give us like a bbq sauce and ranch but he took like 10 mins and we were almost in the last slice of the flatbread?.There were only like 12 customers in the entire restaurant, not sure why it took that long to just bring two small cups with sauce.Good:The apple crumble dessert was a bang on, had a very nice balance of textures, taste between warm apple, vanilla ice-cream and caramel sauce. They were not under or over-sweet. The caramel sauce can over power lighter fruit desserts but not in this case. Again, not sure if it was made in house or bought but I'd highly recommend to order that dessert.Hot Chocolate drink was very good as well, not very thick in texture or over-sweet but had a nice warm touch to it.Drinks:Bad:Ordered a Long Island and when we asked about the ingredients, he said they just use pre-mix and pour Pepsi to make it.I'm shaking my head thinking how on the world can you use pre-mix instead of making it fresh. All it tasted was just pure Pepsi with ton of ice cubes and not even 1% close to a Long Island drink?Here's the general Long Island recipe for your bartender:Shot of vodka, tequila, light rum, triple sec, gin and a splash of soda (cola or Pepsi).I'd highly recommend the management to look into the quality of the food and beverages.We don't have any issues with the pricing as banff is an expensive tourist town but you will need to be consistent with your food quality and unfortunately, this place was a total disappointment for us.Vegetarian options: Not much of a selection for this category.

Loved our experience here. The food was great and our server was really good. We love how they have a dog friendly patio. It started to get cold after our meal came and the server offered blankets and they had fires going by some tables so that you can still enjoy a meal on the patio with your pup. The place is very kid friendly with a very well priced and yummy kidsMenu. The view from the patio is pretty awesome. We will be back next time we are in Canmore!Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and crayons provided to color the menu

Loved everything about this place. The burgundy mushroom steak was perfectly cooked and the mushrooms gravy was perfectly seasoned.

Today's special Cauliflower and jalapeño soup was great with the chicken slaw burger. Throw in a couple of Moscow Mules,…this is why we keep coming back with great service by Vanessa today.

Great Restaurant with beautiful views of the nearby mountains. Friendly staff and large portions. I swear my yam ? fries are a whole yam turned into fries! Very generous with their portions. Their selection of red wines were good as well.

Me and my husband had dinner last night and the food was amazing , I must say we had the best steak which has a strong, balanced, and incredibly delicious flavour From which i can say they got the best chef who has good hands on Steak as it was not too chewy and very smooth to eat ....We will be back only for Steak .

Good service, so-so food, it’s better not to take alcoholic cocktails! Only a view of the mountains... the rest, it’s better not to go

Great looking place, comfortable and clean, using local soap in the bathroom. We were sat at a table and waited 20 minutes with no server. No idea how the food tasted because we left elsewhere. There were lots of empty tables and we were forgotten. Hoping for a better experience next time.
