   I had my elderly parents with me. It was wonderful to sit in the lounge for a drink before dinner. The food selection was good, not overwhelming. My dad had the bison ribs and said they were the juiciest and most delicious of any he had had. The charcuterie was a nice selection, good quality and the Burrarta was delicious. The breakfast the following morning was not as good as dinner. But the ambiance and service was excellent.

   Nice and quiet. Overall food was good but the fries with the burger were hard. Tartare was a little small. Tasty bison tacos and asian inspired fries apetizer.

   A very nice setting. Very quiet and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Not a great wine selection. You have a choice of 3 red or 3 white. Good happy hour though. I had the Bison rib eye which was very good and a large portion. My wife had the fettuccini which unfortunately had so much garlic it overwhelmed all of the other flavours. Still an enjoyable evening out in a nice quiet setting.

    We enjoyed the Prow to have a great family dinner with our two kids who found food they really enjoyed. I also enjoyed I could find some tasty dairy free and gluten free food for supper. Well be back in the future for another experience!

    Have stayed at BML a number of times but was never disappointed as I am now. No housekeeping, so one must call if you need anything as nothing is ever refilled during your stay. Our room was in sore need of wall patching and paint. It was dingy, frankly. There was no tub mat or safety strips on the bottom of the tub. Liability waiting to happen. The Prow...we were excited to dine here and made reservations but were sorely tested by the lack of ambiance. Basically, it is in the open air lobby area like a hotel bar or lounge (the better part of it was the lounge by the fabulous fireplace). It is almost ski lodge (on the ski hill) environment with 90% banquet seating very close to each other so no privacy. Considering the high end food and wine selection, which I will get to in a moment, we expected to have an intimate evening for 2. Not to have everyone in our business! Let's talk Customer Service...OUTSTANDING! Our Server, Christine was professional, attentive, humorous and well-versed in both Food & Wine! And, as a breath of fresh air, she saved what could have been the worst night ever. As did, the other staff that assisted when it got busy. There was a mechanical issue in the kitchen whereby they thought they would have to shut down. They didn't, so good on them. Amazing food! Expensive for sure but we were prepared to treat ourselves. There are only 5 "main's, however, great cocktails, appy’s, pasta and dessert selections. I would suggest they add AAA Alberta Beef, which would round out the menu. The enjoyment of the beautiful food was seriously dampened by the lack of ambiance. So, I had 2 delightful Expresso Martini's, Christine’s recommendation, that made up for it a little bit. I was up almost all night though! LOL! MANAGEMENT…please consider what I have said as constructive. I was once a “local” and want nothing more than to support local business. Change the terrible seating, install some Shoji screen, , refresh the rooms and give your Staff a raise!

    My spouse and I had a FANTASTIC experience at prow from the moment we arrived. The service was wonderful, food was to die for, and the best part of all were the creative and delicious cocktails. The menu for drinks (and food) was very unique, and everything was made from scratch (including fresh squeezed apple juice for one of their cocktails!) Highly recommend - we will be going back very soon.

    We enjoyed a great evening at The Prow - the room is welcoming and stylish with comfortable seating. We started with drinks and a couple of us ordered from the creative cocktail menu, while others had wine by the glass from a perfectly-curated list. A larger menu of bottles was also available, with thoughtful selections. Everyone at our table loved their drinks and food. Several of us had chicken, served with the tastiest potatoes! Another had the trout cakes which she loved. Everything was beautifully plated. I highly recommend.

    We thought we'd give this place a shot and it was right on target. We had a real blast!! Our server Christine was entertaining, friendly, and made our night. The food was incredible and atmosphere on point. You could tell the kitchen staff put in alot of effort in the quality and presentation of their unique creations. The cocktails we also unique and beer selection was full loaded. This is Banff's best kept secret!! Ask for Christine and your culinary experience will be the best in Alberta.

    Have been coming to Banff all my life & The Prow has the best food/drinks/atmosphere, hands down. The drink menu is amazing (mgmt please make the Tiffany a standard; best cocktail I've ever had), the food is honestly the most delicious anywhere even at the other hotels & the atmosphere is classy but laid back. We've had breakfast & dinner there and haven't had a single meal or drink that didn't impress us. They're that good. Prices are absolutely fair for the quality & the staff are lovely It's a little out of the way, but you are missing out if you don't eat here.

    Food was exceptional. We were also pleasantly surprised at the choice of BC wines available at the restaurant. It is a bit of the busy place and when all tables are taken it’s quite noisy and there is no privacy. I wouldn’t call it a cozy place. But we liked the food so giving it 5 stars. Service is nice and attentive. Though I would never come back there only if staying at the hotel again. The ambiance is “on the go” if you know what I mean.

    My boyfriend and i went to dine on New Years Eve at the Prow. We made our reservation at 8.30 pm. We ordered a bottle of 2011 Pinot Noir value $145.00 and when the waitress (Christine) open the cork, the cork break so she went to get another bottle and have her manager open the cork in the new bottle and served us the good bottle so she aimed. She brought the bad bottle (cork broke & have some cork inside the bottle) to the back room. We order the following food: The waitress never explained what was on the dishes so here is our guesses! PEI mussels (tasted fine but nothing special) Wild game meatballs (the only dish that is delicious but with mystery gamey meat) Fried artichoke heart (deep fried pickled -not fresh, artichoke heart) Roasted root vegetables (1 mystery vegetables, carrot & parsnip) taste nothing special! After we order and eat the foods our bottle of wine is empty so she said “if you want another bottle i will talk to my manager for the ‘bad bottle’ and see what we can do” -with a wink! She then went to the back room and brought the ‘bad bottle’ to us and start pouring the bottle and didn’t explain how much the discount was given! The second time she came around we ask her “what was the deal with the second bottle?” She apologize that she didn’t explain previously what was the discount given so then she hurriedly say “its 25% discount and continue pouring the wine” then she disappeared until we ask for our bill. We didnt have chance to say no we didnt want it as she was already pouring the ‘bad wine’ If you are looking for good experience please go somewhere else we would never return to this place. The waitress seems to know how to use the tipsy guests to cut corner!

    We miss the old restaurant that was at Buffalo Mountain Lodge! With that said, we were excited to try out the Prow and it's new menu. 1. I ordered charcuterie boards for the 5 rooms I booked. In the past this board was amazing and filled with flavours. This board was not what we were used to. The portions were small and lacked appeal. Plus we had no cutlery to spread any of the cheese or jam. I was embarrassed I gave this as a welcome gift to my family members. 2. Only did dinner once during our 3 night stay as it only took the one time for us to not want to have dinner there again. Granted we were a group of 10 and the server was new (very sweet and friendly), it wasn't the amount of time the cocktails took to get, it was the disappointment that we sat dry often and not asked if we wanted new drinks. The food is 2 star at best. For one example, my husbands pasta tasted like it had been tossed in dirty dishwater and lacked any other kind of flavour. The menu sounded delicious - but the food that came out did not live up to the descriptions. 3. We had breakfast all 4 days, it was a hit and miss. Some days it was really good, others was disappointing. Would I eat there again, probably not. It's convenient being at the BML, but if you like good food like us.... not worth it.
