Rustica Steakhouse

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.

Probably the best overall meal we had in Canmore.This place is located in the Silver Tip resort area above Canmore. It's a little bit outside of the main town.Directions will take you to the golf house as there is also a golf course located here. The building is on the far right as you look towards the mountains from the parking lot - there is no sign on the outside.Once you enter there is a shop selling golf pro shop on the right but just keep walking down and you'll see Rustica to your right.The restaurant is very nicely appointed and has nice big windows to gaze outside. Everything looked very clean and spotless.We both tried ordered the set course menu for $55. It included an appetizer (soup of the day, spinach salad or shrimp cocktail), main entree (flat iron steak, steelhead trout or pasta orecchietta) and dessert (creme brulee, chocolate mousse or raspberry and chocolate sundae).Shrimp cocktail is an interesting version and the shrimp were fairly small...although you do get 6 or 7 of them. 3 stars.Soup of the day was Corn Chowder. This serving was huge. Bigger than most places bowl of soup for a full order. The corn chowder itself was pretty good.3 stars.Flat Iron Steak. This was cooked perfectly and so tender and flavorful. It comes pre sliced served on some crunchy and flavorful steakhouse cut fries, carrots, bell peppers and squash. Everything served on this plate was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing! 5 starsRaspberry and chocolate sundae- this was also very good. It comes served in a tall glass with what seemed like a really thick chocolate mousse, actual raspberry blend, vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top. This dessert hit all the right notes and was very refreshing after the heavy steak entree. 4.5 stars.Finally our servers were so great. I unfortunately cannot recall their names but we were there at 1700 when they opened for dinner on Wednesday, September 18. 10 stars for the staff!If management/owners happen to see this review I hope you share it with your team.Update: May 2022. Went here again and it was awesome just like the first time. Added pictures of their current menu and prices. Thank you very much to our helper Steph who made the evening that much better.

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.

We go to this great restaurant for most of our special celebrations. It's a great experience every time. I believe our waitress has always been Isabelle, and she has been such a pleasure to have as a part of our experience. I will state that it is a pricey experience, but that's expected when you choose this level of food and service. I just want to warn you ahead of time.

The hostess was absolutely wonderful, extremely kind, professional and on top of things ( reservation was a breeze and the welcome was impeccable. ) I can’t remember her name sadly but we were there Feb 19th at 7:30 pm and this lovely lady needs to be recognized as she truly went above and beyond.Our server Stephanie ( I hope this is the correct spelling. ) took first place out of anyone I have ever been served from, by a long shot. Stephanie was sincere, attentive, incredibly kind and I honestly can’t say enough kind words about her hospitality. Thank you so much you truly made our evening outstanding.The meal was delicious, well plated and throughly thought out.Overall one of my favourite dining experiences and easily the best experience I have ever had in Canmore.Thank you for having us, we look forward to coming back and trying more meals from your menu.

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.

I had just flown in from Ottawa and we 'dropped by' on a Sunday evening. Amazing food, friendly professional service, a window table with mountain views all in a contemporary lodge atmosphere that was instantly relaxing. A fox sauntered by just to remind us where we were. Doesn't get any better. Thank you so much.

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.

Appetizers and Mains were delicious, especially the risotto. Stakes were perfectly cooked. Stephanie was amazing and very attentive. I will come back again for sure. Very nice and unique place.Somehow google took us on a Canmore neighborhood trip but we still made it on time.

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.
