    We arrived to our reservation time, promptly to be told they weren’t open? An Open Table error, I guess from what little we were told by staff. Very disappointing. No rating can be provided.

    As always the service was phenomenal and attentive. We are long time locals have a been coming to Grapes for a decade. This time however, my wife got violently sick while at the restaurant and I got sick overnight and the next day. Not sure if there may have been issues with the curing of some meats etc… nevertheless that certainly does not give us any desire to come back any time soon. The fact that a chef used to be right there preparing the food was also much better than the food coming from a kitchen somewhere else in the hotel.

    After a day of traveling, we enjoyed my birthday dinner at Grapes. It is a small restaurant, so make sure you make reservations. The food was limited and pricey, but what isn't anymore? We had the charcuterie tower and everything on it was tasty. The best part was Dana, our server. She was so pleasant to talk to and gave us lots of tips for explorations around Banff.

    I prefer the way Grapes was before. I do not like the set 4 course meal. There’s no way I can eat $85 worth of food even if it is amazing. I prefer to select my own cheeses and I miss the fondue. Huge disappointment. Service was awesome! Food tasted great! Definitely preferred the old style of Grapes!
