Our favorite restaurant! Food is consistently amazing, service on point, wonderfully eclectic vibe. It's a must while in the high country!

Beautiful restaurant, perfect ambiance. We went there for New Year's Eve dinner and the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I totally recommend the bison short ribs and the scallops. Completely worth it

Holiday Menu was awful. Poor taste, overpriced, small portions and extremely overseasoned. We felt rushed all the time. Not the same Gamekeeper we've been to many times before. Did they change management?

I don’t even know what I loved the most - the food (we went do the holiday prefix menu prefix menu and it was fantastic), the service (our server was so attentive and knowledgeable - I learned about the toothfish and the history of the place), and the place itself - wood burning fireplaces, decor, lighting.. Big compliments to the owner and the chef for this gem of a place. Oh and the fact the vallet had out car by the time we can down the stairs (it was -7C) - top notch experience throughout.

We make a reservation every year for our anniversary. This place never disappoints, the food is always delicious and the menu is ever changing. Eating here is a dining experience you won't forget!

We have been waiting to try the gamekeeper for a few years because of the reputation of the exotic menu. We booked an early seating as we brought our son and daughter in law to celebrate his birthday. The weather was cold and snow had fallen so we left early in case the roads were covered but they were fine until we arrived where the driveway and parking area was very icy. We arrived early and the staff was wonderful in taking us in out of the cold. We were seated in a lower dinning room but found the heat was broken and the room was extremely cold and the staff did re seat us as well as other guests to a warmer section which we appreciated. The staff were attentive and helpful, we were however disappointed at the limited selection on the menu and the quality of our food. We ordered the squash and potato soup which was very tasty and the salad was good as well. We ordered the tooth fish, bison short ribs and elk dinners. We enjoyed our food but felt it was not at the level of an entree costing $74. Our bill for 4 was over $400 which I fully expected based on the reputation this place has but maybe this was an off night or for some reason a very limited menu. I enjoyed it but wasn’t impressed. Not sure if we will be back.

My wife, her sister, and I recently had dinner at the Gamekeeper. I ordered the elk which was cooked nicely but over seasoned. Fortunately, my wife likes spicey food and swapped her steak for my elk. Just a word of warning: tell your waiter to go light on the spice.

I've been wanting to go for years and let me start with the good. What a beautiful place and very polite staff. Our waitress was very friendly and she did take very good care of us and we had a nice view. My experience was that it was good not great. Everything was good not great. I'll start with the appetizer we had soup to start and again it was good nothing grand we had the potato and butternut squash bisque. The soup was fine tasted good but I was just underwhelmed that was the two options. My father mother and I ordered the ribeye my wife ordered the elk. My first dig here was while I enjoy spicy things my mother not so much and the vegetables that were served with it were pretty spicy and I just would have thought at this price point the waitress would have went over the preparation and mentioned that. My second issue is at the price the steak was good not great. It had a lot of fat and gristle to start. Secondly I was pretty shocked how dry it was and the only way you could order it was medium I would have preferred a bit less done. I'm being a bit critical get but again at the price point it didn't knock mine or the rest of my family socks off. My mother only ate half because of how tough it was. My wife's elk dinner was good. It had a good flavor and the sides were pleasant. So all in at the price point if you want a beautiful view and good service they did that pretty well but there's a lot of other restaurants in the area that I think are better food wise.

Great food and atmosphere for a special location. Server made us feel rushed even though we were out the door by 7 from a 5pm reservation which didn't create a good feeling. Would definitely go back again, though .
