   My partner and I went to SkyBistro to celebrate our 6th anniversary (and surprise! Engagement) and we had such an amazing experience! All of the food was remarkable (I would definitely recommend the cauliflower appetizer and the s'mores brownie - delicious and GF to boot!) and service was fast despite the restaurant being quite full. There is a beautiful artwork of Tunnel Mountain showing the view in different lights (daytime, nighttime, Northern Lights, etc.) that I COULDN'T look away from!! We watched the sunset from the huge window overlooking the mountains. It was a really magical, romantic setting to finish a wonderful day.

   We arrived almost an hour early for our reservation and they made it possible to accommodate us for earlier dining. Our server was amazing and the food was incredible. You also can’t beat the view! I Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone even though you have to purchase a gondola ticket to get to the restaurant.

   My food was really good, it came out pretty quick but wasn’t the hottest it could’ve been. My brother had to send his steak back as it wasn’t cooked as he requested which meant I had to eat my meal by myself whilst waiting for his to be recooked. Our server was lovely and really friendly. The views were amazing which is what I guess you pay for!!

   Unbelievable service from Joe! Had the steak, was the best, melt in your mouth steak, cooked professionally! Girlfriend had the Caesar salad it was also out of this world, chef did an amazing job. Thank you. Dinner with the most amazing view! But to top it all off, Joe was amazing, kept up with us, and very friendly, restaurant wouldn’t have been the same without him! Thank you for the most amazing experience ever! It was a 10/10 because of joe! Thank you Joe from the United Kingdom 😀

    Made reservations about a month in advance, which was great because there were none available the day of. Showed up early and was able to walk around and enjoy the space before our meal. Unfortunately, it was cloudy so we didn't get to see any borealis activity. Food itself was amazing, service was great. Would highly recommend the bread and cauliflower to start. The duck was delicious, and maybe my favorite meal of the trip. For dessert, we had the chocolate mousse cake which was perfectly light and not top sweet. Would definitely recommend checking Sky Bistro out if you get the chance. Even with the cloudy atmosphere, the ambiance was still very nice.

    Food was ok, server was good but she was too busy and service was slow. Took over 30min to take drink orders and then food took so long to come that we didn’t have time for dessert and were rushed to pay so we wouldn’t miss the gondola.

    Will definitely dine here again. Food was amazing, well prepared, and delicious. Beef was cooked to perfection, I could have licked my plate clean! House bread was fresh, warm garlic/parmesan goodness. The views as the sun set, behind the mountains was to die for. The decor was elegant, with an amazing piece of art, with a projector, that had slowly changing mountain/northern lights scenery, that I thoroughly enjoyed while I waited/ate. They were quite busy, besides regular small tables there was a big top, that was time consuming for the staff. Because of this our service was slow, our server came to see us 20 minutes after we were seated, was kind apologetic, and promised to make sure our meals/food were not delayed. Which he came through. The kitchen was on par, with little to no delay on food. We didn’t interact much with him after that, except to pay our bill, as other staff brought our food. I don’t blame him, as I counted at least 10 tables that were his responsibility, including one that was 8 people. He was working hard. My service review of 3 stars was due to insufficient staff, for the amount of tables/people in the dining room for a Wednesday night. He did say it’s not usually this busy mid week, which I understood. Still over all amazing, would go again, I was not too fussed to wait so long, as I had good company, beautiful scenery in and outside. Just an honest review as I know some people would be very unhappy with a long wait and minimal service from their service.

    Most of the dishes came out well before the wine, Your windows were very dirty. Lots of fingerprints and water spots (we were the first seating) considering the view is a big part of why we came (as well as we love the wine and food pairing experience) but the dirty windows drove me crazing every time I looked out at the view.

    The restaurant had a great ambiance and the food tasted amazing with good portion sizes but the wait time between course, getting drinks etc was quite extended. If you have 2-3 hours to eat dinner I absolutely recommend Sky Bistro!

    Brilliant experience! For the value of money I would highly recommend going whilst it’s light as you can see the views and that’s why you book there, it got dark for us around 5:30/6pm (table was booked for 7:30, totally forgot it got dark so early) so we missed the views but food was lovely, and staff were super helpful and lovely! Lisa was our waitress :)

    We celebrated an anniversary here. Food was good, cocktail was a highlight, too bad we couldn’t get another one. Our server was clearly overwhelmed and we felt bad for him. Ordered a glass of wine to go with dinner and it just never arrived although it was still on our bill at the end. I would have ordered another cocktail if we had the chance. Our server was apologetic, said there was a new system being implemented and that they were usually better than this. He took the wine off our bill after we caught it, but the overall response was “sorry” and a shrug. We clearly caught them on an off day, but one would think management would staff to compensate for something like a system change. We came early and did the skywalk which was a HUGE highlight so we still had a wonderful evening, but dinner was a big bust.

    On January 26th we celebrate my husbands birthday and brought our baby girl. The food was delicious, I got the Arctic Char and he got the Duck. Honestly best food we’ve had in a very long time! Our server was named Joe and he was kind, very knowledgeable and attentive! Thank you to all staff as well! We will definitely be coming back the next time we are in Banff!

    We had a pretty awesome server, forgot his name but he was from Quebec City. Seems like everyone there was super nice. There is a lot to do when you get up there so I would say get there early and enjoy the views for a bit. Food was awesome, seems like portion sizes vary quite a bit between meals, the duck was awesome and my partner had the Pork which was quite a big portion. Cocktails are great, it’s a bit pricey, but your eating on the top of a mountain and the quality and ingredients were amazing so I would say it’s pretty worth it. When we got there on Friday we had a reservation and they turned away a lot of people who didn’t, so I’d say reserve pretty far in advance. The views are outstanding as well, probably the highlight of the meal.
