  We just finished an amazing dinner at Three Ravens! My husband and I have eaten all over Banff and Canmore and have never even heard of this place. On the recommendation of a friend, we came here for our anniversary. The food is so good-as much as possible it is locally sourced, and the beef sirloin and salmon were clearly excellent quality meat selections. Good: 1) best Creme brle I have had. Ever. It was big enough for two people and the mix of berries, matcha meringue wafers, and presentation was phenomenal 2) service is quick and attentive without being overbearing 3) server is knowledgable and answers all questions 4) private and quiet enclosed dining space5) flavour profiles of all food both complex and complementary There are a couple considerations where the points were lost:1) the restaurant is very difficult to find. It is in the top floor of the Sally Borden fitness facility, which, in the daytime I’m sure is easy to find. However, coming at night and with little signage it was a bit frustrating. 2) the restaurant itself, while enclosed, is next to a dining hall that appears to serve customers buffet style(which can be a bit off putting depending on the time of day). The bathrooms are also a bit far from Three Ravens. 3) mobility considerations-depending on the route you take to get there, we had to walk up a lengthy sidewalk, take an elevator to the main floor, walk outside to another elevator, and then outside again to the dining area Overall, the food and service is impeccable, which is key to the restaurant experience(and peppered with amuse bouche offering and delicious after dinner chocolate!) We will be back. bighairandhighheels.com

  Took a short jaunt out to Banff for the night. Decided to try out a small little restaurant on the basis that John Gilchrist had mentioned it was quite the place. Although somewhat hidden from the regular Banff Ave. It is worth the short drive up Tunnel Mountain Road.Started off with this crazy little amuse bouche of cherry whiskey pannacotta and balsamic beads. Normally I only have cherry whiskey at xmas time but I may just have to make this one myself sometime. We started with an appy of elk tartare which was delightful and not gamey as well. Wifey enjoyed the citrus crusted cod with pickled cauliflower and humboldt squid. Not really keen on the prep for the squid but the dish was quite flavorful. I opted for the bison striploin with mushroom chips, siracha popcorn and grits with a lovely port jus as well. Flavors were right on par, meat cooked to a perfect mid rare. The wine selection is quite extensive with mot being to expensive, but you definitely go big if you want.The dessert menu has the nice idea of choosimg tastings of 2 or 3 items for a set price. Although we did not indulge, the items sounded amazing.All in all a nice little place to enjoy a dinner. If the restaurant does fill up I could see it getting a little loud in there but do not let that deter you from a visit.
