    We had a great experience at The Bison. The service was great, the food was excellent, and we had a lovely evening overall. You won't go wrong ordering the Bison Tartare. I've been to The Bison several times before, but this was probably the best visit I've had. Looking forward to returning the next time I'm in Banff.

    We had a great meal at Farm and Fire - the roast chicken meal on the kids menu was a nice departure from the usual options and was well liked by my kid. We ordered a few dishes to share including a pizza for Happy Hour which was a great value. There were a few beers missing from the menu but other than that it was all great!
