    We had the New Year’s Eve buffet which had a good selection of seafood, meats, and the mac & cheese was great. The dessert table had a lot of options along with a chocolate fountain and sticky toffee pudding, and crème brûlée amongst others. The salmon was delicious and the buffet had a large enough selection of vegetarian options to easily fill a plate for a non-meat eater. it was a little strange that they had naans and pampadoms without any curry though. The music was a little bit louder than we would’ve liked, but the singer was very good. And the server for our table was excellent. It had a lively ambiance and the price seemed reasonable for what we got. All in all a very good experience.

    The food was good, price was cheaper than other restaurant we used to go. Waited too long for desert and bill. Only 3 tables included ours, more waiters than table of customers, still waited long time.
    Crave Mountain GrillResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and found our prices to be a great value. We apologize for the delay with your dessert and bill—it’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide. We’ll be sure to review our service timing to ensure a smoother experience moving forward. We appreciate your comments and hope to welcome you back soon!

    We often come here for dinner when in Banff. The Alberta cheesteak sandwich is lovely and great value. As the restaurant is hidden in the hotel you can always get a table when the rest of Banff is busy

    I should have looked more closely at the times they serve what foods. We were looking for a lunch place at 11:30. I booked this online with never being there before. Ended having breakfast instead of lunch. Buffett food was cold but yummy. Good thing I had the eggs bene off the menu. It was also confusing to find the restaurant. Staff was very friendly and service was excellent!!
    Crave Mountain GrillResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry for the mix-up with the timing of the buffet, and we appreciate you understanding the situation. We’re glad you enjoyed the eggs benedict and that our staff made you feel welcome with excellent service! We’ll certainly take your comments into consideration to make things clearer for future guests, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again soon—hopefully at the right time for next time!
