“Oysters”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Went to Maple Leaf in Banff in the afternoon and had oysters. They were so good we went back for supper. What a treasure this place is. Excellent food and excellent service. Will definitely go back.

“Great food, great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013 via mobile

Went for dinner twice... If you want a quiet sophisticated sit down meal and your not in a hurry this is it, not cheap but you get a meal from a real chef, presentation/quality and great taste... Bison tenderloin is great!!! Range from 25$ to 60$ for main course but its no ripoff compared to others in Banff!!

“Food was good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The food was good, but pricey, and their signature dish - salmon iwith maple syrup was a bit too sweet. It would have been better glazed with maple syrup instead of swimming in it.
Thje service was a litle less friendly than in some other restaurants in Banff.
