Foodies can expect to sample creative, regionally inspired dishes that feature inclusions such as bison, elk, and game meats. Meals can be paired with a wide selection of regional craft beers, small batch distilled spirits, and wines from across Alberta and British Columbia.

The specialty menus range in cost, but all offer mouth-watering food for a seriously great price.
