Our first night in Lake Louise we couldn't get a reservation at our hotel restaurant until after 8:00 pm, so decided to drive around. We entered the Mt. Fairview Restaurant after noticing the carved wooden sign for the lodge on the road to Lake…More »
After a vigorous hike up Tunnel Mountain in cold and almost rainy weather, nothing beats warming up with a bowl of the chipotle tortilla soup at Nourish. Each dish comes out with the purpose of sharing, so the soup (which is actually more of a hot…More »
The Post Hotel has been welcoming guests for more than 25 years, but the Dining Room has to be biggest influence on its popularity. With an award-winning wine cellar featuring 32,500 bottles and more than 2,200 selections, AND Executive Chef Hans…More »
Thanks to my lovely friend Q for recommending the Truffle Pigs Bistro! The restaurant is housed in the Kicking Horse Lodge in a quaint little town called Field. Arriving in the evening just as the sun was setting, we were treated to a postcard view…More »
We absolutely enjoyed our meal at the Bistro Cafe. The special of the day happened to be seafood crepes, which were incredibly rich and delicious. Perhaps the high altitude improves one's appetite, but the baguette was perfect and I forced myself…More »
If you're staying in Lake Louise, you must take the small side journey to Emerald Lake. Emerald Lake Lodge is located 20 minutes West of Lake Louise in Field (or Yoho National Park) 2.5 hours from Calgary. We visited on a day when the clouds were…More »
We stopped at Crazyweed on recommendation of our B&B hosts for our last evening meal of our trip. The food was excellent. We had a salad with blackberries, strawberries and goat cheese, and our two entrees were the Vietnamese grilled chicken and…More »
Four stars for apparently being the best in town. Based on recommendation from our B&B hosts, we found the fish to be very fresh (flown in from Vancouver daily) at Samurai. However, located in the Fairmont Banff Springs, prices were double,…More »
I could not resist going into this cute bakery and trying at least ONE cupcake. There were several flavors to choose from, and we settled on a simple vanilla cake with white frosting. Nice density, good flavor, very good frosting. A little too…More »
Maple Leaf Grille is a huge restaurant with a nice, classical interior and great views. Reserve a table by the window if you can (some of them have booth-like window seats, which give you lots of space). The food is pretty good. I didn't find the…More »
We missed the open hours of the main restaurant for lunch, so we headed over to the Pub. The interior was dark, warm and cozy, with a nice fireplace and several comfortable seats in addition to the bar and several tables. I had a Caesar salad and a…More »
Considering the neighborhood and lack of my own experience with other Japanese restaurants in the area, Sushi Bistro was an okay place to satisfy the sushi craving in Banff. The quality of the food would earn two stars if they were in the Bay Area.…More »
I am being generous with this rating, but I didn't think the place was all that bad. It's actually quite a nice-looking restaurant, cute and in the middle of the Banff activities. We did not get to sit on the patio because the weather was cold and…More »

Sherri's Bay Area Sushi and Sashimi Experiences (59)Fresh fish is not a luxury, but a must-have, and after downing this staple at least two or three times a week, I still don't have as extensive a list as I should. Maybe I need to up my intake frequency... |
The One-Star List (14)Most of the time I don't want to bother writing about the one-stars and when I do, it's probably because I wished I could give the place no stars or negative star ratings! |
So Much to Do with So Little Time in Vegas... (48)I've gone to Vegas so often you'd think I'd be bored of it, but every time I visit it is usually for a company event or tradeshow with not much time to check things out. Also, the Strip seems to be in a constant state of new construction so it's never quite the same each time. |
