' ..... Welcome to Bluebird, a wood-fired steakhouse featuring the best of Alberta beef including your favorite classic cuts and all-day-roasted Prime rib. Bluebird is where brunch and cocktails collide into fireside lunch which glides into happy hour and then swooshes into dinner where the après begins. With the fire stoked high, we are ready for you to ski through the front door and tell us all about it. It’s always a bluebird day in our mid-century chalet.

    Ambiance: Very upscale country steakhouse that makes you feel like you’re at a ranch! Warm, rustic and inviting! So many cute photo ops and aesthetically pleasing. Perfect for a girls night or date night. Food: Cheesy potato doughnuts - were not deep fried long enough as the center still felt cold/frozen. The sauce could use a little bit of spice. Fennel and Burrata - very flavourful, refreshing and loved the addition of the tomatoes. I would consider this more of a shareable meal/salad. 20 OZ bone-in ribeye - under seasoned with lots of fat. The addition of the chimichurri and peppercorn sauce did not help this mediocre steak. Broccolini - very charred/burnt. Lacking the lemon. Had to send it back. Mushrooms - tossed in an aioli, it sounded interesting but would have been better tossed in garlic butter to accompany the steak Cheesy mashed potatoes - delicious! *the sides/accompaniments are very small. 1 portion is good enough for maybe 2 people. Key lime pie - the best thing on the menu! Do not leave without trying! The key lime flavouring is not overpowering. Light and refreshing. Paired well with the crust and white chocolate mousse. Amazing! Carrot cake - very impressed their carrot cake did not have walnuts. The cardamom ice cream was overpowering on its own but paired nicely with the cake. Service: Our server was great and informative. At times we felt it took awhile for her to circle back to our table. The hostesses at the front were friendly and even had a birthday card waiting for me at our table. Such a cute, thoughtful and personalized touch. Overall: Ambiance 10/10 Food 6/10 Service 8/10

    We had a lovely meal at Bluebird. The prawn starter was absolutely delicious! My partner and I both had steak (rancher 14oz and 12oz striploin) which was great quality steak, really well cooked but was let down by the amount of salt put on to the point where our mouths were sore afterwards. In hindsight, we should have sent them back but we were both so hungry and probably being too polite to say anything. The broccoli, sprouts and Parmesan chips were superb. We’d definitely return as the atmosphere was really nice and the staff were super friendly and helpful and next time we’ll just ask for no salt on the steak. :)

    Have been there twice, first experience the food and service was all perfect and worth the value. Second time attending the service was great atmosphere was really good and drinks were all excellent but my prime rib was extremely sub par for the price. I would recommend still, but don’t settle for poorly cooked food. for the price don’t be shy about sending it back to get it prepared right.

    Bluebird is such a treat. We love enjoying the lounge atmosphere after a day spent outdoors. An evening here makes any day feel like a celebration!
