So disappointing.

We came here for breakfast and regret not looking at reviews first. This was, by far, the worst dining experience I have ever had. Once we ordered food and drinks, we had to get up to ask for refills, and at no point did either the server or the manager come to ask how the food was. All our meals were burnt and it took an astonishing amount of time to even get it, considering the restaurant only had us and one other table. Upon speaking to the “manager”, he could have cared less about the feedback, nor did he offer any form of resolution. If you are staying and this location, do yourself a favour and drive into town.

I am not typically one to take the time to write a bad review. Onward & upward is typically my way. But my husband and I almost feel the need to 'warn' others for lack of a better word.
Overpriced and Underwhelming
We recently dined at this restaurant during our stay in Banff, and it was a deeply disappointing experience.
My husband ordered the butter chicken, which came with rice and naan bread. The naan was clearly store-bought, and the chicken in the butter chicken dish tasted like it had been frozen—not fresh at all. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza, which was honestly awful. It felt and tasted like a frozen pizza—bland and entirely unappetizing.
To make matters worse, the service was subpar. It took far too long for anyone to notice we were even there, and there were no offers to refill our drinks. We had to actively flag down staff just to get basic attention.
The final kicker was the price. For such poor-quality food and service, the pricing was outrageously high. It was a waste of money for what we received.
For a restaurant in such a popular and beautiful location, we expected so much better. Sadly, we cannot recommend this place and would advise others to look elsewhere for a better dining experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Alpha Bistro. We stayed at RMR for a family vacation and went to Alpha Bistro for my wife’s birthday. We were initially somewhat apprehensive because it seemed quiet (off season) but Kelly made us feel so special and really hit the nail on the head. Dinner was phenomenal… we both ordered the steak. It was absolutely delicious and truly exceeded our expectations. Kelly made us laugh more than a dozen times and really made my wife feel special on her big day. We couldn’t be happier with this place. It will be a go-to for us in the future.

The food is amazing, but the service with Kelly is a different level. We all know it can be hit or miss with restaurants. Then someone like Kelly serves you and a good dinner goes from good to amazing. We are so grateful for the great experience. Alpha restaurant is very lucky to have someone like Kelly on staff.

Great service, staff so personable. Fine dining, yet it is informal and casual. The food is amazing and delicious, well rounded menu and great to have vegetarian options that are not just a pile of low protein boring pasta. Lovely atmosphere, calm, nice music that isn’t too loud. Relaxing. The loud music and etc noise at most restaurants is so irritating to me that I d rather cook and stay home. It is so lovely here that I really enjoyed the experience. Very professional. Looking forward to coming back. Kudos to the staff and thank- you.

There is No wifi, food is OK
Had a Chili chicken burger and my husband got spring rolls. The food was delicious I will definitely order from them again. I also love staying at this hotel. You get so much space in your condo. This place is a must. Thank you.
I love it here :)

Poor server, she had more than 7 tables. Food was not awesome but the hotel is quite far from downtown banff so I went with my dog. She was very friendly server, but I sat outside and server never come back if I do not stand up and go inside to ask for check and order. I think I stayed there 2 hours... Terrible experience.
