4.3 / 5.0(4,463 reviews)

We were in between tour stops and ran into this gem. They just opened and the server was very accommodating! I had the seafood stone grill (unofficial name on menu lol) and bison meatball I think and both were so delish I could not believe we were served quick we didn’t miss our bus and our tummies were happy! Missed trying their fondue but everything was fantastic. We sat inside but their outdoor seating have heaters I believe! This was our most anticipated (and most expensive) meal during our trip to Banff, and it didn’t disappoint! We came for their four-course dinner, which includes a starter (soup or salad), cheese fondue, a main course with different meats, and a chocolate fondue for dessert. We were off to a good start with the soup and salad, both were really good. Next was our first time trying cheese fondue and it was such a fun experience. The bread portion was super generous and the cheese was rich and tasty For the mains, we got the Original Fondue Dinner that contained beef and chicken and the Exotic Fondue Dinner, which came with some very unique meats. It was a cool chance to try things we’ve never had before. Our favourite of the night was actually the alligator, which tasted like a mix between chicken and fish. There’s also a handful of sauces to choose from that will cater to lots of different palates. We finished off with the chocolate fondue, and of course you can’t go wrong with chocolate and fruit. Overall, we had a great time here. It’s definitely pricey, but worth it if you want to try something different while in Banff. The restaurant was pretty dark (we had to use our flashlight to read the menu), but our server was super friendly and made the whole experience great. Our dinner lasted almost two hours but was enjoyable all the way through. I highly recommend booking a reservation as we heard from the works they were booked out for the entire night. It is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. My friends wanted to try this restaurant, and I am glad they did. I was introduced to swiss style stone grilling with Canadian meats; Elk, Bison, and Alberta beef. The swiss cheese fondue with wine was too strong for my taste. The dessert Belgian chocolate fondue was the best I ever had! The whole meal experience last 2 hours and a half. I really want to thank the server for changing our seats to better ones after the first request so the experience wasn't ruined.

Dave was our server and he was an absolute hoot! Super sweet and just so friendly and hilarious. You can tell he loves his job! The food- wow, what a fun way to eat. We cooked everything on the hot plate and it’s just nice to be able to make your food the way you like it! The garlic butter we kept slathering on just makes it over the top good, of course! We did the complete set, the starter soup was DAMN good (chicken tortellini soup) and I had the beef and lobster and my boyfriend went with the Alberta special (?), it came with beef, bison, elk, & venison. Really great one to try it all! We ended the meal with a lovely chocolate fondue made of Belgium chocolate. So indulgent and a 10/10 experience. It was both of our favorite meal of the trip!

The food was good but nothing earth shattering, it was mostly for the experience which was fun and unique. The place can get quite busy but we were able to make a same day reservation. It was annoying how dark it was in tn restaurant, especially when you’re cooking raw meat. I had to use my phone flash light constantly to see if the meat was cooked to my liking because it was so incredible dark in the restaurant.
