    We had an amazing evening! The special was a 30 layers lasagna which tasted amazing but was not the size you’d expect when you spend $30 on a 1 inch thick 30 layer piece. Portion needs to be addressed

    Awesome vibe. Decent prices. Really good food. The service was top notch. We made a reservation but ended up being a little late due to our hike being longer than we anticipated. They were very accommodating. We were a group of 4 celebrating our birthdays, and they took very good care of us! Also comp'ed two desserts. Had a great time! Will definitely be going back

    The Bluebird is wonderful in every way. We loved the ambiance perhaps most of all, but everything was five stars. I wish we’d found it earlier in our stay in Banff, as we would’ve eaten here or enjoyed the cozy bar more than once. Highly recommend!

    The service was amazing, so encouraging, so friendly, the food tasted amazing. Great gluten free options. The only thing it gets crowded and it’s hard to visit. We will be back (we always go back, it’s the place to go when you’re in Banff)
