    The service was subtly amazing …the 2-3 waiters were professional yet very personable, attentive, and thorough…Giome carefully wrapped the leftover appetizer and main (we couldn’t finish) before putting it in the takeout containers. The Snow Days special was an amazing value, with good portion sizes, & a nice unique variety of options. The Artic Char flavours were, layered and nuanced, with different textures (IE: crunchy nuts). Also enjoyed the, venue, ambience, & live music. Thoroughly enjoyed the Bison and will definitely be back! Thank-you!

    Great experience. It’s one of the few independent restaurants in Banff. Happy hour menu is fantastic value and runs until 6 PM in January. Had Korean wings, bison goulash and tomato soup. Would certainly recommend.

    Food was amazing! The only item we didn’t love was the Sable fish. Fish was cooked perfectly, just didn’t have much flavor to the dish. Mushroom toast was my favorite! Thanks for the birthday Prosecco 😊

    We’ve dined here previously for breakfast, and dinner was just as good. I had the roast chicken pizza, didn’t realize there was also sausage on it, but I do like the flavor of that brought to it. Very large vegetable Wellington dish was a very unique thing for a vegetarian. Wines by the glass were good quality. Appreciated they have some GF options. Comfortable environment and very friendly staff. One of our top dining experiences in Banff.
