Rustica Steakhouse

Reservation on March 27, 2022.

What a dining experience. Isabelle was a delight as our server. Attentive to our water glasses, went above and beyond when asked if they could make a brandy old fashioned, and was a huge help helping my wife select the perfect Gin drink.

We enjoyed the smoked chicken breast and ribeye with extra sides of mushrooms and truffle oil risotto.

The smoked chicken was perfectly tender and each bite had an aroma of smoky flavour. The ribeye was cooked to a perfect medium and the side mushrooms were the perfect pairing.

We saved some of the mango tequila butter and it melted perfectly onto a few bites of the ribeye adding a bit of extra wow factor.

We wanted to try dessert but there simply wasn't the will power to push through the satiated feeling.

The views of the golf course and mountains were simply majestic.

Wow. First off who knew this place was even here. Far above Canmore at the Silvertip Golf Resort on a winding road is a stunninf dining experience.

The facility is rustic...beautiful wood frame and beams. Gorgeous paintings adorning the walls. Well placed lighting. And windows all around to take in the stunning scenery.

Our waitress was so engaging and helpful. She chatted with us long into the night even after our dinner was long since finished.

The dinner itself was phenomenal. The selection of meat cuts ranges across all price points for whatever your budget allows. They also have Australian and Japanese wagyu on the menu.

I'd give it six stars if I could. We'll definitely be back.

My husband and I were on our way to Banff when we asked a Canmore friend about where we should eat. She suggested Rustica and I am SO happy we went there! It was our wedding anniversary and we haven't been away (just the two of us) for over a decade. I had the tenderloin and my husband had the seafood risotta (part of a special menu for May). Generous portions, outstanding flavour, and beautiful presentation. The ambience is beautiful and the views were stunning. Our waitress was wonderful and I'm sorry I didn't catch her name, but she was lovely. We will definitely be back. Thank you to the chef for preparing such a memorable meal.

Amazing food in a beautiful location pretty much sums up our experience.
We were on the last leg of our banff trip and decided to get a nice meal before we left. Rustica was a great note to end off of.
We ordered the Bison rib eye and the Elk tomahawk.
Both were cooked beautifully and tasted wonderful especially with the garlic mash and mixed vegetables.
Our server was attentive even though he was quite busy and the view was magnificent.

Although the price was fine for a steakhouse, the service was way too slow and the steaks were overcooked for the desired cook I had requested. In addition, the food was way too under seasoned...and required copious amounts of salt.

Overall, a play to try, but not a place to come again.

As a foodie and someone who has worked in various upscale establishments in the hospitality industry, this place did not disappoint. Food, service and atmosphere was just what we needed for our last day visiting Canmore. We ordered the oysters, risotto, jumbo prawns and the tenderloin- all were fantastic. The palette cleanser after our appetizer was a nice added touch. Hats off to the kitchen staff who obviously put love into the food and to our server who was attentive and knowledgeable. Great job staff!

Rustica is a world class restaurant. Hands down the best restaurant I been to so far. The ambience in this place is so calming, they play such peaceful music. Able to have a conversation with your table. Our server Isabellea was the bomb! She went over and beyond for us, as this was the day I proposed to my girlfriend. She picked up flowers just like I requested and had them set up on the table. She also got the chef to make us an amazing arrangement with our dessert, cheesecake, which was to die for. Dinner was amazing, I have never had my walleye done the way it was done. Always fry up my walleye. My girlfriend really enjoyed her steak as well. I did try the frog legs as well, so intriquing but I enjoyed them. Rustica, you guys put the cherry on top of my beautiful day. We will definitely be back and thanks for the lifetime memory.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Everything tasted delicious, it was brought to us in a timely fashion, and made for a fabulous dining experience. Worth every penny!
