Aalto’s inspiration runs deep. From Pyramid Lake’s shimmering waters to the sky-scraping peaks that tower above, we’ve translated our neighbouring natural wonders onto our menu.

Delicious food and great service. Entree portions more suited to a multi course experience, but extremely tasty . The upcoming renovation should help the ambience as well. Would definitely return.

We were there for the Christmas Day dinner. The restaurant was not as busy as we had expected. Our waiter was efficient, pleasant, & knowledgeable. The food was excellent, the price was expected & the view was breathtaking.

Kennedy was our server and he was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations which we both loved. The duck appetizer was so full of flavour. The bison melted in your mouth and the short rib portion was impressive. Outstanding food, my boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about it days later. The drinks were delicious and beautiful. Anyone who comes here must order the cheesecake! We will be back.

Lovely ambiance and service was good. But pheasant was dry(overcooked?) and beef short ribs were not tender; either not braised long enough or poorly cut. Flavours were good though. Plating was very nice but portions are small and expensive so dry meat isn’t acceptable

The food was spectacular! The staff were friendly and explained the menu well. My only critique is that the location lacked ambience. The lights needed to go down one notch and the walls could do with more decor. But still, the food was great!

My meal was fantastic, but my husband’s wasn’t great. The bison was chewy and not enough of it for the price. It was also disappointing that the two things we’d intended to order weren’t available.

Amazing restaurant, we have gone to pyramid lake restaurant about 4 times and each time was excellent. The food is amazing, the servers/staff are kind, helpful, and attentive. I love that it’s a relaxed restaurant you don’t have to go in suit and tie.

Piper provided excellent, friendly service. The presentation and preparation of the food was visually attractive. The bison sauce reduction was excellent but the bison was chewy and tough. The cheesecake and chocolate deserts were very good. The wine selection was modest but with good choices. Lovely setting and a scenic drive from town. Thanks!

Limited Menu, we had 2 starters 1st one "their take on Caesar salad" lettuce with dressing with chopped up boar pieces which were very tough and I couldn't ea, bread was nice...2nd starter Bison tartar...overall tartate very nice but presentation significantly diluted when food arrived with "a bag of crisps to one side" of this dish. Mains, Salmon the only fish option available served with veg only and strip loin steak...advised by server that chef suggests med/rare which is the way hubby enjoys it but unfortunately steak at best served medium. Overall a disappointing dining experience 😕

This place is a gem! We came here on a date and were thoroughly impressed with the food and service as well as the view/overall atmosphere! The daily soup (butternut squash) and octopus were to die for! My partner had the classic salad followed by the sirloin dish which was paired with a fantasic red wine recommended by our server, Tyler, who made our evening even more memorable with his panache and exceptional service!

Food portions were extremely small. Don’t go expecting to feel filled as you will be let down. The price you pay for the food you get is ridiculous. Way overpriced. The food tasted good and the view was amazing but overall would not recommend. Drive down and take pictures but skip the restaurant.

If you are a regular eater you need to order 3 courses. The bison was good but 2 pieces size of an apricot is really insufficient even for a small eater and we had a salad to share. Our Server was really sweet. One minus star is they forgot our reservation and though it was our anniversary dinner, we got a table with not much of a view. Great for an occasion if you get a good table
