' ..... 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.

    Family of four, enjoyed our meal, no complaints. Service was great. Between us all, we had souffle pancakes, eggs Benedict, and the breakfast meal (mountain breakfast, or something??). All of the food was good, we would definitely return, we just had some other amazing restaurant experiences during our trip so we can't quite give it five stars! Definitely a good brunch spot though.

    We chose Bluebird for my wife’s birthday meal. We reserved a table in advance and were sat upstairs between two other duos. It was dark to the point that we had to use our phone lights to read the menu. Our waiter served all around us and got to us almost ten minutes after being seated. We ordered drinks and it took quite some time for those to come out. A couple seated at the bar at the same time as us had their drinks and appetizers before we even had drinks. Everything was slow - to the point where our server commented that several large groups had held up the kitchen, but our food (pasta) would be out on five minutes. It was not. At that point, we chose to speak with a manager. They did comp our mains, which was appreciated, but for a restaurant that has received such high praise, we were disappointed with the service and ambience. The food was good. The prices are a little high for what you get (ex. $15 for a dessert), but it is a high quality of food.

    Everything is modest with this place, except the price in the menu. Location is modest, interior design is what you see everywhere, and no specialty or chef recommended options. Not sure why the price tags are twice compared with other brands while not keeping half the quality. Maybe they included the tips in the menu?

    Prime rib was cool. When I requested it be heated up, it was out briefly on the grill, but still was far too cool, and was a bit chewy and tough. As it was Christmas Day, I just let it be.

    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.
