About
This place is all about the view. Perched at the top of the Banff Gondola, it offers a buffet experience that most people find satisfying, though not necessarily gourmet. The brisket is a crowd favorite. While it's a bit pricey, the convenience and the jaw-dropping scenery make it a popular choice for families and tourists.
