Once again, Cirque did not disappoint! We enjoyed the mussels as a starter and had the bison short ribs and the sablefish as entrees. Both of us were absolutely stuffed as the portions are generous! My husband loved the gluten free bread to sop up the mussel sauce, and I had a smaller bowl for my sauce so as not to contaminate with my delicious focaccia bread. Our server L’Wren was delightful -gave us just enough attention at all the right times. A very enjoyable date night!

Lovely food, very flavoursome (the chef definitely knows what he's doing) however sadly very tiny portions for the price you're paying! The steak for $52 was two bites worth so we wouldn't recommended! The tiramisu and celeriac steak was amazing though.

Hi, thanks for the feedback, we've chatted with Victor and we are currently working to find a solution. Happy to hear you enjoyed the Tiramisu and Celeriac steak. Best Somhairle

We had never been before, we went for our 13th wedding anniversary with two of our three daughters… Our server was amazing, as were all the other staff that assisted … The setting is beautiful! There was a wedding party also dining, and many other guests coming and going, but that didn’t in the slightest effect our intimate and personal experience. The food & drinks were delightful, and the management or our server decided to comp us our desserts as a gift for our anniversary… That’s the kind of special touch that makes this a stand out place!

All four of our party ordered different main dishes: burger, salmon, bison rib and beef strip loin. Everything was delicious and well prepared. We had started with excellent cocktails but no wine with the meal though. The table service was great on top of this. Highly recommended

Beautiful views. Very lovely server. Disappointed that two entrees weren’t available and at least six wines not available. Steak was good. But both serves of Tuna were over cooked and a bit under seasoned. And halloumi shouldn’t be razor thin. Food wasn’t what we expected.
Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023
Hi, We're glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for your feedback with regards to the wines and Entrees. We've struggled at times this season in the post-Covid economy with sourcing some of our more specialised cuts and wines. With this in mind, we are working on changing our wine list to reflect what is more readily available, and local, while still maintaining a high quality selection. Thanks for your feedback and we hope to see you again Cheers Somhairle

Mussels were great for an appy. I think someone spilt the Salt shaker in the seafood linguini and the New York strip was somehow burnt on the outside and rare on the inside (asked for medium rare). Service was satisfactory
Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023
Hi Mark, Good to hear you enjoyed the mussels, they are delicious. I've passed on your message about the seafood linguini and the steak to our head chef Victor. We are currently working on improving our consistency so this doesn't happen. We appreciate your feedback and would welcome any opportunity to have you back. Best Somhairle, Cirque

The food was absolutely terrible. I went with my usual elk bolegnese to be safe and it was dry and bland. My friend ordered the salmon which was over cooked and the crust was burnt. The food is continuously going downhill especially for the cost. I won’t be eating at cirque anytime soon which is a shame as it is very convenient.
Cirque at Lizard Creek LodgeResponded on April 2, 2023
Hi Stephanie, Thanks for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear the food or service wasn't up to the usual standard. I've passed your message on to our kitchen team and we are working on improving consistency across the board so this doesn't happen. We'd appreciate any opportunity to rectify it in the future.

Disappointed in the pasta options. Same meat past offered the past 4 weeks. There are options! The sirloin steak was a 2.5/5. The pumpkin sauce pasta was 2.5/5.

As residents at Lizard Creek, we eat at The Cirque on a regular basis. Walking 100 m to eat at a 4.5 star restaurant is a privilege that does not disappoint. I had the Elk steak. And I like it cooked rare. The kitchen did not disappoint. It was cooked exactly to my preference. My wife had the Elk Bolognese. She thoroughly enjoyed it. Our overseas guest was somewhat confused about the name of B.C. raised chicken. Apart from the food the atmosphere was so suitable for our conversation. When in Fernie, why go anywhere else.

The food and service was wonderful. The challenge was that Cirque no longer allowed corkage for wine we brought. We are very respectful of wine and food service and order a cocktail and lots of food. As a result we did order a bottle of wine off the wine list . Sadly the wine we ordered was $120 and $30 in BC and was jammy alcoholic ( 15 %) not a good experience. We will probably do take out next time.
