I would say this place is overrated on Yelp. For Jasper, it's pretty good, but compared to places "in the city", Syrahs is really just okay.
First off, they'll get you in the door with the enticing 3 court menu for $29. You must buy a drink on top of that. I ordered a blackberry mojito (virgin), and it was truly a glass of ice with a side of mojito. See pictures.
For the starter, both my SO and I ordered the caesar salad with bison prosciutto. The dressing on the salad was so salty it burned my lips. The bison "prosciutto" should not be called so as it's really sliced too thick, but it was tasty for sure.
For my main, I opted for the bison ragout, which was okay. My SO tasted the sauce and he really liked it. For me, the bison having been brined, smoked, and braised was not evident in the taste or texture. My SO had the BC tuna and was very happy with it. The tuna was an extra $7.
Then comes the dessert. The server didn't clarify that some dessert options had extra prices, but it did say on the menu, so my fault for not noticing. So ordered the brownie, no extra cost. I ordered the goat cheesecake and was charged $6 extra. But get this, both of these items on their normal menu posted outside are $11 each. So why on earth was I charged an extra $6. Cash grab. The cheesecake was nice a creamy, but not amazing by any means.
Honestly, for me, I think the dishes lacked that special oomph when it comes to flavour. I also don't appreciate being charged extra for one dessert and not the other when they are both the same regular price.
At the end of the day, Jasper is not known for their restaurant scene, so this may be one of your best options. The service here was great.
