What an awesome little find! Make sure you plan to visit the Saltlik for dinner or a snack the next time you are in Banff! We found it purely by accident, as someone local recommended it as “the place” all the locals go! And for good reason! We had the most amazing service in the lounge with the friendliest bartenders!... More

Duck taco was great! Something different about the restaurant was that you have to order the side dishes separately and each costs quite a lot. If you don't want the side dishes, you will only get a piece of steak on the plate and that's it, no veggies or potatoes.

Food was amazing and the service was great. It has a casual restaurant feel but we went elegant and didn't feel left out. It is pricey but I haven't ate a steak like that in a while. The lobster potatoes, asparagus, and fried mushrooms were amazing. The chocolate ganache with vanilla bean ice cream was a great desert to end... More

The starters and the main course (7 oz steak) are all great! Wines are expensive.

The food was good but slow. It came out at different times so that was kinda hard (when eating with kids). Our server did comp our dessert because it took longer to get than our meal.

We ate here on our last night in Banff and my husband and I had a great time. The service was attentive without being overbearing. Our waiter was very friendly and offered many suggestions from the menu. The food is delicious and the portions sizes are quite large. The prices are a bit high but definitely worth it. Overall, really... More
