The Sensory Restaurant & Event Space

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here! Overall experience was amazing! The owner was very accommodating and easy to talk to. Brad and Trevor were super nice and they made sure our ceremony and reception experience was exceptional. Food was great and everyone enjoyed it! Thank you for making our wedding day very memorable. ❤️

Superb wedding...Staff was really nice to us and food was also really enjoyable.

My husband and I had our wedding reception here in June and I cannot say enough good things about this venue and Terry and his team. Terry is so personable and was always responsive from the moment we started inquiring into the Sensory. The packages were exactly as described and there were no hidden costs all over the place, which seemed to be the case everywhere else we were looking. There was so much flexibility in what we were booking, we really got to make the night how we wanted to and Terry provided his recommendations along the way. We had 32 people at our reception and it was the perfect space. The venue inside was a little warm but we had access to the balcony, and it would have been nice to have speakers inside and outside, but those weren't deal breakers at all and it didn't make the night any less special. The speakers were moved outside to the balcony for our first dance and it was a magical view of mountains and a setting sun. We were able to access the space the day before and day after to pick up our items, which was so helpful to not be rushed out and have to clean up right after our wedding. We were able to use their microphone, screen, and sound system which were easy to connect to. The prices were very reasonable and I really appreciated that even though we ordered 32 midnight snacks in advance, Terry only charged us for how many were actually ordered by guests that night. When it came to opening my last bottle of wine near the end of the night, Terry also recommended that I don't open it and just order a different drink so that I didn't pay corkage and potentially waste a whole bottle of wine. It are those little things that really make an experience special for a customer. The guests haven't stopped talking about how delicious the food was! All of it was so delicious and I, the bride, was actually able to eat and was very full. Everything was perfect!

The waiter here is very rude, I was just wandering around outside his restaurant, however he yelled at me and claimed I cannot use the bathroom (shared between a few businesses) and he even threatened me to leave saying I was trespassing while I was OUTSIDE the restaurant the whole time. I suggest firing this guy as he does not respect his potential customers. I am extremely disappointed with the way he treated people as this is not by any chance "the fine dining experience" this business claims to offer.

Had the enjoy the trip menu on Aug 30 2024, every course was exceptional. Can't wait to do this again!

Me and my husband had our wedding reception and party at The Sensory in August and it was absolute perfection. Terry was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish and his team the day of was amazing.

We had 40 people in the small room plus patio and it was perfect. It felt intimate but not cramped (we even had room for the DJ we hired from home to make sure the party was the exact vibes we wanted). There aren’t a lot of venues that will let you have the space until 1:30 a.m. but The Sensory does and we were so glad they did.

The food was incredible. All of our guests commented on how delicious their meals were and my husband and I weren’t disappointed either. The Sensory’s dining menu was top tier and I would recommend it to anyone.

Not only that, Terry and his team took care of setting up all the decor and executed our vision perfectly off just a few hand written instructions. At the end of the day, I trusted Terry and his team to set up the room beautifully (like the experts they are) and they really impressed us. That said, the space truly is the “decor” with the floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Three Sisters so we opted to be minimalist with our decor and simply had a dozen 3-stem floral arrangements and a dozen candle sticks and tea lights for the tables. It was perfection.

Having the patio with the bar was a highlight, as we got to watch the sunset from the patio while sipping cocktails with friends and family.

The next day when we arrived to collect our decor and other items left behind, it was already neatly packed and ready for us to grab. We were in and out within 20 mins, emphasizing yet again how easy Terry’s team is to work with. They truly are experts!

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of The Sensory for our wedding reception. It was such a memorable night and went so smoothly thanks to Terry and his team and we’re so so grateful for the memories.

Highly recommend!!

Not really a restaurant - just an event space. Had two reservations a month part get canceled because some group event swooped and took the space. Why bother with reservations at all? Either go full event or designate specific days for no events. To come in from out of town - booking a month in advance - only to be told "sorry" is unacceptable. Stop taking reservations if you have no intention of honoring them. "Taking" the reservation is only half of the equation. "Holding" is the other half. AVOID

Don’t even bother making a reservation unless you’re booking the entire space out. I have booked here twice and both times have been asked to reschedule due to a conflict (ie another party reserves the entire space). I booked a month out both times. This place is an absolute joke. We showed up the second time (because we had no idea it was booked again) and were turned away. The restaurant claims to have contacted me to reschedule, yet I had no missed calls or emails. This is absolutely the worst worst worst place and the staff is so rude. Shocked to see it still in business.

We booked the smaller events room and balcony/patio for a rehearsal dinner and were very happy with our choice.
Not only is the backdrop from the balcony/patio fantastic but the service we received was top-notch.
Delicious food, friendly and efficient servers, and a warm welcome from Terry created a fantastic atmosphere and an evening that was enjoyed by all, in particular by our guests from the UK.
From the initial meeting, through the booking, making menu choices, and answering our many questions, Terry was extremely helpful and accommodating of the different dietary needs that we required.
If you are looking for a location for your event in Canmore, I would highly recommend The Sensory.
Thank you for being part of our wedding celebrations.

I was super excited to try this place! I love trust the chef experiences. However, this was overall disappointing.
The lamb croquette was difficult to cut as the breading was so thick and chewy. The lamb inside tasted okay and the sauce was tasty and well balanced though.
The pork with ancient grains was the most disappointing. Difficult to cut through. Extremely dry. We ended up sending one back. By the time we got it, we were all done ours but tasted the fresh one and realized HOW BAD they actually all were. We told our server who did not offer to compensate us in any way.
The chocolate cake was dry.
Would not recommend and will not be back. The place only had 4 other people in total in the restaurant so I’m not sure why our meals were cooked so poorly.

Highly recommend The Sensory if your planning on the most amazing wedding day! We had our wedding this weekend and Terry and his team went above and beyond to make our day everything we ever could have imagined! The time and detail they put into making sure everything and our guest was taking care of went beyond our expectations! We had the most perfect and beautiful day ! Thanks to The Sensory and their team 🙌🏻❤️

Booked it for a small wedding. The space was beautiful , everyone did an amazing job setting it up for us. Terry was so good to work with while planning our evening. Food was absolutely delicious. The server was extremely attentive and helpful as well. I highly recommend trying The Sensory!

Celebrated my mother’s 80th birthday here. The space was fabulous. Great views of 3 sisters and Rundle. If the weather is nice you can also use the huge balcony. Nice that you have the entire space to yourselves. Bartender was attentive but not overbearing and offered a nice selection of cocktails and local beers. They also offer a corkage fee if you would like to bring your own wine. The menu is reserved in advance with a nice selection of protein. Food was very tasty and well presented Service was elegant. If you want to have a private event in Canmore I highly recommend Sensory.

What an absolutely phenomenal experience! Our February wedding at this venue was nothing short of perfection. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was taken care of with kindness and accommodation. From the seamless setup of both ceremony and reception to the mouthwatering cuisine, every aspect exceeded our expectations. The ambiance, with the majestic mountain view framed by the illuminated windows, was simply breathtaking. We highly recommend this venue for both weddings and dining experiences. Our heartfelt thanks to the team for making our special day truly unforgettable!

Had a splendid dinner at Sensory. Friendly and helpful service from start to finish provided by. Brad. Caesar salad was right on and the mains of pork chops and salmon were expertly prepared and presented with a wide variety of roasted vegetables. Highly recommend and will definitely return.
