' ..... Welcome to Bluebird, a wood-fired steakhouse featuring the best of Alberta beef including your favorite classic cuts and all-day-roasted Prime rib. Bluebird is where brunch and cocktails collide into fireside lunch which glides into happy hour and then swooshes into dinner where the après begins. With the fire stoked high, we are ready for you to ski through the front door and tell us all about it. It’s always a bluebird day in our mid-century chalet.

    French onion soup, tartare, and prime rib fondue we ordered needed more flavour. The cheese fondue was the only item that we thought was good but we didn’t care for any of the sides. Not worth the money though. Service is below average. She spent too much time filling everyone’s small water glasses and not enough time asking if we needed anything. Maybe just leave the water bottle at the tables or have larger water glasses. Took her a long time to greet us at the beginning as well. Then the sparkling water I asked for was warm and flat. It’s better not the offer it than to offer something bad. We didn’t order any steaks because we had steaks the night before and weren’t able to cancel the day of our reservation. Regardless, we were underwhelmed with the food and service. Location and decor was nice but the tables were a bit too close together and the servers were in our space or moved things around to get to the tables.

    I was unimpressed with this restaurant. My first issue was the cramped dining, and having the adjoining table, waitress.. take their order with her posterior literally 6 inches from my face. It was uncomfortable. The dining area was loud and the accoustics , required almost shouting. I did have the Tartare…. And the chips over powered the flavour of (Taquies spice chips my kid eats). The steak and veg, had a gas (not charbroiled) flavour. This would all be ok, but charging 5 star pricing for a 3 star meal. The Vintage in YYC is the pricing they are shooting for and deliver Montana’s food. While it was not horrible, the price point was abysmal. Miss the salt Lik in Banff, and a better meal at chain Keg, or Earls.

    It took a while to get the food, but it was worth the wait. Souflee pancakes were divine, and they didn't skimp on the salmon or hollandaise sauce for the eggs benny. The only tragedy was a lack of gluten-free hashbrowns. Pan-fry some potatoes for the gluten-free people!
