   Une expérience culinaire divine, un site extraordinaire même mes enfants ont été chaleureusement accueilli … le service Chaleureux nous a fait sentir comme des rois/ reine…. Mais une nuit, ce n’est pas assez!

   Amazing experience at this restuarant we went for three meals in total during our stay one breakfast, one lunch and a dinner. Then we got breakfast for take out on our last day. The staff was very polite and professional. The food was outstanding as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

   It was a significant bday for my wife , and in advance they asked about any special occasions. They said they would provide something like cake and candle, which they didn’t. And I had asked for Lakeview quieter table and we did get Lakeview , but beside the servers station . Good good , server great … but disappointed in a few of the commitments not followed thru on.

   Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The lodge itself is very nice and the staff and servers were pleasant, attentive, and helpful. We were disappointed with the food and the cocktail list. The food menu needs a serious overhaul and simply does not reflect the quality we would expect from a place like this. We had the scallops, the bison steak, and the chicken. The scallops were cooked well and were definitely the best dish. The bison steak was fine, but lacked any flare and seemed to have been seasoned using montreal steak spice out of a jar. It was cooked more or less correct. The chicken dish has apparently been on the menu for twenty years and it is long since time to retire it for something more interesting. The cocktail menu needs to be done again from scratch. It simply made no sense... there were a number of flavours that worked together and then some weird ingredient thrown in that did not fit and lowered the quality. We understand that sourcing of ingredients and supplies is probably more difficult, but the combinations just didn't work and seemed forced. The bartender did do a great off - menu cocktail.

   The soup of the day was maybe the best soup we have ever had. Service was excellence and the ambiance was superb.

   The quality of the dinner and service was more than we expected. We tried salmon and duck breast and we enjoyed every single bite!

   We have wanted to eat here, for some time so we drove in from Lake Louise, on a spectacular day. We were not disappointed. The lodge is updated and lively. Staff are welcoming, attentive and engaged, young and happy to be there. Had a drink at the bar first, and both cocktails were unique and excellent. Dining area is very warm, and music is quiet. I had the salmon, and it was perfectly done, and beyond expectations. My wife had the lamb, and raved over every aspect, cooked perfectly, excellent presentation, with great taste and creativeness. We will be back, next time for a stay at the lodge. As per the name, this place is a gem.

    We have stayed at Emerald Lake Lodge a few time and this was another awesome dinner but I think this was the best meal we had had there. I had booked the table in advanced and asked to be put by the window and not only did they accommodate that they gave us the table in the corner which to me is the best table in the restaurant. The meal was amazing, we both had the Beef Tenderloin, desserts were delicious too and I highly recommend having the Old Fashioned if you like those. Presentation and taste was spot on. Staff as always were polite, helpful and accommodating. Overall we had a wonderful evening. Thank you to all the chefs and waitresses involved, we will definitely be back.
