   This is a gem in the middle of the Rockies. Stunning views and great ambience. Unfortunately for us, we arrived, with a reso, during a very busy happy hour and they did not have much food left from the happy hour menu to offer(they only offer a limited menu during these hours) and their feature cocktail was no longer available as well. We ordered the last of the 2 flatbreads but they had no cheese. They did offer burgers from their regular menu but at the regular price. This is somewhat of an unfair review as they seemed to be unusually busy and we waited a long time for even a menu. The reason I write this review is to urge people to go at the beginning of après (2-5) or during normal dinner service. Obviously, it is a hot spot. I would just avoid a 4 p.m. reso. We would definitely go back!

   I booked this restaurant 10 days in advance, specifically mentioning that we were celebrating my mom’s birthday and requesting a nice table for the occasion. Unfortunately, the experience left us disappointed due to the service. When we arrived, the waitress (long dark hair) didn’t acknowledge the birthday or even seem aware of our booking. The table wasn’t reserved, and after looking around, she seated us at the only table available—right next to the exit door. It was uncomfortable and cold, hardly the atmosphere we had hoped for such a special day. The service throughout the evening was subpar. The waitress brought a wine cooler but didn’t put the wine in it, left empty glasses without refilling them, and when I requested water, she filled only my glass, leaving my mom’s and husband’s empty. She then placed the water carafe on the bar table, out of our reach. These small oversights added up, making us feel unwelcome and overlooked. On a positive note, the food was excellent, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant was enjoyable. However, the poor service overshadowed our experience, especially considering we drove from Calgary to celebrate my mom’s birthday here. It was a bitter disappointment on what should have been a joyful occasion. I hope this feedback encourages the restaurant to improve its service, as the food and ambiance deserve better support from the staff

   Very strong showing at this restaurant for a very pleasant dining experience.  Total cost was 106 US for two entrées, two alcoholic beverages and a dessert. The sable fish was cooked perfectly, best fish dish I’ve had in a long time. Very cozy atmosphere. Good service. If we lived in the area, we’d certainly be back.

   The bison short ribs were exquisite! We would also highly recommend the bison burger.

   Wonderful ambience. Excellent cocktails. Interesting menu with potential. Ingredients were good. Sauces, which tie everything together, lacked creativity and subtlety. Overall, Great potential. We are looking forward to seeing how this wonderful spot develops.
