   My wife and I visited Blue Bird for the brunch based on recommendations from both friends and hotel staff. My wife ordered the Croque Madame and I ordered the Soufflé Pancakes. I also ordered a side of eggs and bacon. Everything was fantastic and the value for the price was very reasonable. The flavors were very unique and unlike anything we could purchase from our home in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The Blue Bird Brunch will be a staple of ours when we visit Banff.

   We had a wonderful experience! The fondue and the happy hour drinks were impeccable, as was the service and ambience.

   We really enjoyed our meal. The omelets were done to perfection. Imagine a fruit bowl full of pineapple, kiwi fruit, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes...just delicious. The hashbrowns were very unique and sooo good. The restaurant was cozy, modern and very nicely decorated and our server was very friendly and took such good care of us. Now we really want to come back for dinner! It's definitely in our plans.

   Our waiter was rude and condescending, everytime she came to the table she was making a comment that was offside and rude. She wrecked our experience. Food was good but she was awful.

   Maybe we just had an off night but Bluebird was super disappointing. Ambiance was a 10/10, we all agreed. Very cool vibe and the fireplace is a great feature. The Food was just not good TBH. The French onion soup was burnt; it was definitely prepared the right way so maybe just a burnt piece of bread crumbled in but hard to get past that burnt flavour. The prime rib was cooked perfectly but served cold and the Yorkshire pudding that came with was rock hard, it was either over cooked or under a heat lamp was too long. I love garlic, but the crab pasta must of had 8-10 cloves of garlic, sliced and just put into the dish. Not cooked and basically raw. Pasta was also not cooked. The steak was also mediocre; The Keg would have a better steak than the one served. Service was also not great. Everyone has an off night but no quality check until we were already looking to leave, and it was done by someone other than our server who I honestly think maybe was trying to be helpful as we were missing utensil’s and other items and we’d been looking around for our server. Didn’t seem like a super busy night. Given all the other reviews maybe we just had bad luck but i probably wouldn’t chance dinner here again as Banff has some tried and true options with the same feel.

    Either growing pains or the staff don’t quite have it together It was an oddity Food was good to mediocre Service was good to poor Ambiance was loud and disturb Staff was unfocused Food came placed before us staff left AND we had no plates, no utensils, no … you get the picture Plus no apologies, barely conscious of what the problem (s) were Cash grab, entitled are key words that come to mind Save your hard earned money
