Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
1888 Chop House offers a "luxurious dining experience" with "amazing and delicious steaks" and impeccable service. Guests rave about the "mouth-watering" king crab tart, wagyu tenderloin, and bison tenderloin. The atmosphere is "elevated" and ideal for special occasions. While prices are high, the quality justifies the expense.

    Came here for a post-engagement dinner. The hospitality was stellar - every staff member we encountered congratulated us and made sure to make the dinner feel special. The food, while pricey, was cook d to perfection and plated well. The ambience is what you would expect at a Fairmont (excellent!). In summary - you come here for special occasions, service, and ambience, not necessarily the food. Would come here again for a special occasion in the future if in Banff again

    Our meal and service was amazing. What you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Meal portions aren’t huge but just right if you’re doing a 4 course meal.
