    Outstanding service, food, cozy quiet ambience and price for 5 star food. Best eggs Benedict and burger we’ve ever had. Can’t wait to go back and try other foods on the menu. Had the Christmas Day brunch and it was a lovely experience. So incredibly affordable for the quality and presentation of the food!! Staff are absolutely wonderful. This will be our go to for meals in Banff from now on.

    Booked for early evening to take advantage of the happy hour menu… food was so spectacular that we ordered off the full menu anyway. The service here is very attentive and thoughtful. The menu choices are interesting and perfectly balanced and I love the open airy feel of the restaurant. Most restaurants that are inside hotels are lacklustre. NOT Brazen… I dine here even if I wasn’t staying in the hotel. Delicious.
