Quick stop for food
August 13, 2014Awesome tasty food and the service was fast and efficient. The waitress was friendly and knowledgable about the area. The atmosphere was quiet welcoming.

I wish it could be rated 0
August 12, 2014There isnt much to review - we didnt even get our orders taken! A group of 6 of us got seated and waited for our order to be taken but instead, the waiter took our menus and made us wait 30 minutes before we noticed he served a table who just sat down beside us. We tried to let the... more

Good food, excellent service
August 05, 2014I would recommend this restaurant. We were seated quickly and although the place was busy, the food was served quickly and it was very good. My son had the pulled pork sandwich and he wolfed it down! I had the gorgonzola fettuccine, my husband had the salmon. Both were excellent. Service was efficient and friendly. We also had a nice... more

Good food
August 05, 2014I came to this restaurant with my wife on our honeymoon. The service was pretty slow. We didn't see our waiter that much even though the place was almost empty. But my goodness, the food was fantastic. I got a burger and my wife got their pulled pork sandwich. Both were phenomenal. I would definitely suggest this restaurant because of... more

Disappointing Diner
July 26, 2014This is exactly what you would expect from a place called Mountain Restaurant in a gas station parking lot. The menu options were spare and uninteresting. The prices were far too high for this disappointing diner. The appetizer plate was fine, spring rolls were terrible. The bulgogi steak was actually OK though out of place. If you're looking for a... more

Enjoyed
July 25, 2014Saddened to read other reviews, we had an early dinner here and was not disappointed. Service was excellent, food was spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed, realise at busy times this may not meet everyone's expectation but for us....very good!

OK if your not in a hurry
July 24, 2014We thought we would have a quick bite to eat in here before heading home from Lake Louise. We were seated by a young girl who really did not look as if she wanted to be there but she was polite enough she just didn't smile much. Then we had a really nice lad serve us but he was very... more

Why, Oh Why
July 17, 2014Why, oh why do we not simply frequent the top Trip Advisor restaurants? Mountain Restaurant is ranked low for a reason, therefore we have only ourselves to blame. This morning - because Baker Creek Bistro was closed - we went in for breakfast. The food was some of the worst we have had in years, and we dine out a... more

Salmon is to go wild for
July 16, 2014Salmon cooked in maple syrup had the taste and texture you would expect of a higher standard restaurant. No great finesse to the salad or plating up. Good honest Diner fayre. Service OK and coffee on the mark. Unexpectedly good end to our day.

Dinner was a disaster
June 29, 2014I cannot imagine how anyone would have a good experience at this restaurant. The food and service were substandard; in need of a make-over by Robert Irvine of Restaurant Impossible. Our waiter did not have his head in the game. The order was not properly placed, so we were waiting for 35 min in an uncrowded restaurant to be served.... more

Okay dinner
June 28, 2014My husband and I dined here one night at 7 pm. Our meal was fine, not great. My Asian platter was good but a bit spicy. My husband's Gorgonzola Fettucine was pretty bland. We felt our waitress Kaitlyn was rushing us and not as attentive as could be and wanted to go home for the night.

Unexpected surprise at Lake Louise
June 07, 2014There's not a lot of dining choices in Lake Louise unless you're willing to go to one of the hotels. During the recent May long weekend we decided to stop at Lake Louise to grab a quick dinner on our way to Banff. Our first choice was the restaurant in the shopping centre but a couple of tour buses pulled... more

Homey Atmosphere
March 29, 2014
We each had a wing platter from the appetiser menu but there were only 2 wings on it. It had spring rolls, a small lettuce salad and poutine. It was fine but I was looking for more wings.
The Grasshopper Ale went down too easy.

My sister and I were just passing through and thought for a change up from Canmore we would try somewhere in Lake Louise, stumbled upon this quaint little restaurant while we were filling up fuel at the Huskey, and decided to try it out.

GREAT Bulgogi
March 03, 2014
We were tentative about choosing this restaurant.
There were some things they could have done better such as having the waitress check back shortly after the food was delivered to the table since one of our dishes was not as hot as it should have been.
Prices were a bit higher than we expected to see but in line with...

December 08, 2013Absolutely loved it. After a hard night and mostly bad day we stopped in for supper. Had an Australian waitress who was happy, made us laugh and was more than accommodating.

Fatty pulled pork, slow service and spendy
October 08, 2013We needed a quick hot lunch so we stopped here. My potato soup $8 was tasty and my husbands lamb-burger was good, too. But my friend's pulled pork was mostly fat and gristle. He said that it was his worst lunch- ever! He couldn't eat it. They need to work on their service, particularly checking back on coffee refills. 2... more

The burger was juicy, exquisite, topped with onion rings...So Good! Then had fresh home made

Log furniture and a multitude of windows welcome diners to this casual, simple restaurant. Houseplants soften the stretch of woodwork, and a big-screen TV provides diversion. Lunch fare consists largely of burgers and sandwiches, food that's easily eaten between excursions to the area's scenic attractions.
