As two fabulous gay boys, this experience was sensational. Not only is the food spectacular but presentation is golden. & don't even get us started on the drinks! Not only are they all made with just the right amount of awesome, but the bartender preparing them is an art in itself. Just watching him was a worthwhile experience. Plus, every cocktail is a double! Need we say more.
I don't know how this place has such good reviews. It describes itself as tapas, yet 50% of their food is deep fried. I got myself past the fact that the tapas weren't what I was expecting, and I still did not enjoy them. They were heavy and fairly flavorless overall. Most of the food was basically a Japanese take on tapas, but I would argue that it wasn't done well or authentically. When you take into account the price, I think this restaurant ranks extremely low for value. I would definitely not eat here again.The one thing we did like were the cocktails. We each had a few and they were the highlight of our meal. If I'm ever back in Banff, we will probably stop by for a drink before or after dinner.
This restaurant has great food and the staff are friendly. The food came relatively quickly. We were seated at the table nearest the washrooms and some people bumped into me, so I recommend requesting a different one if you can. The three dips and toasted naan was great, and I would definitely recommend that.
The bartender was nice. While they don't typically do half-pints, he accommodated my request to taste one of the local brews in a half-pint glass. The clams we ordered were tasty, although I think that some of them weren't cooked properly - I've had a lot of clams and some of them (I'd say at least 3-4 out of 20) just didn't taste right. The cold noodles were delicious, but the "broth" (which was almost like soy sauce) that they were in was WAY too salty - so it either should have been provided as a dipping sauce on the side or it should have been a LOT less.
Best food I've had in a long time. The burger was incredible! Ate the whole thing with my eyes closed as I was in my own little foodie heaven. Not to mention everything we had was incredible! I could have hung out all day eating everything cranked out of your kitchen. Amazing service! We were never without someone tending to our table. You guys are doing it all right. I will recommend to anyone and everyone. I'll be back........many times over.
