The Maligne Range

We dropped in at Maligne Range after a grueling day driving up the Icefields Parkway (including raging at various incompetent drivers) and were not disappointed. The Caesar salad was seasoned just right. Grilled chicken was tender and juicy. Brisket was absolutely divine and the accompanying smashed potatoes were delicious. Service was (as with many of my previous reviews) helpful and attentive especially with the whisky explanations - our server having studied in Scotland may have had something to do with it! We will certainly be back.

Went here for brunch and were too late so we had lunch. We got a seat on the outside railing and the views were beautiful. We both had the beef brisket sandwich and it was SO GOOD!!! My husband had the local whiskey flight and bought a bottle to bring home. Surprisingly I even liked the whiskeys. We’d go back again while here and highly recommend it to anyone visiting and wanting a quality meal and service.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Surprisingly not super busy and we were able to walk in and be seated without advanced reservations. Items Ordered: Pork Belly Bites - CA$14.00 Little House - CA$19.00 Lemon Garlic Shrimp - CA$11.00 2x Sticky Toffee Pudding - CA$24.00 2x Lemon Posset - CA$24.00 Surf & Turf Platter for 2 - CA$76.00 SD Gravy - CA$3.00 Classic Platter for 2 - CA$66.00 SD Gravy - CA$3.00 Wild Warden - CA$9.75 Honestly every single dish was awesome and the dessert options while limited selection (only 2 choices), each of them were amazing that we had to double up.

We had a really lovely atmosphere in the restaurant—the ambiance was cozy and the setting quite pleasant. But we waited quite a while after being seated before anyone came by to take our order. After browsing the menu, there was still no one checking in, and our water glasses stayed empty for a long time before anyone refilled them. When our short ribs arrived, we weren't given steak knives, and the meat was a bit dry. On the bright side, the mashed potatoes and vegetables were well done. We asked the server for salt and pepper, which was appreciated. Overall it was a mixed experience—staffing seemed slow, but the food and atmosphere had their highlights. We still left the customary tip—at least 18%—when settling the bill.

It's my birthday and I get breakfast. We have a wonderful coffee and order our food. I'm excited. I open my utensils to a huge finger print on my cutlery. I'm actually fairly disgusted. We were given new cutlery. We receive our food, it looks amazing. I'm very excited. Server comes by with pepper or salt. She says something about "we're FANCY here.." I nearly laughed after hearing that because if it was fancy I wouldn't have received dirty cutlery. Was an awkward experience after that and it stuck with me for a while after. Food was delicious!

Me and my sister drove into Jasper from Canmore and we were recommended this place by a friend who used to live in the area. This place did not disappoint! Started out ordering a ‘Skyline sour’ with a shareable charcuterie board which hit the spot! Was also recommended the ‘Beef Short Rib’ which again was spectacular! Massive portion of meat as it was completely boneless and smoked to perfection—came with some veggies and ordered with fries. My sister got the ‘West Coast Salmon’ which she said was and I quote ‘to die for’. Altogether a great restaurant with friendly and fast service! Would definitely recommend.

I liked the food, but the service can be better. My server did not check on my table even once after taking my order. When I was finished with my meal, I had to wait 10+ minutes for my check because my server was chatting with guests at another table. I think these are things that can happen sometimes - hopefully improvements can be made.

We came here for dinner and ordered several main dishes. Our favorites were the grilled salmon and the pasta. The steak was ordered medium but was cooked a little more than that. The side dishes of potatoes and vegetables were delicious.

I greatly enjoyed this establishment. They explained to me that this is their first summer in operation. They were supposed to open in 2024 but the fires in Jasper prevented that. It was the old Jasper movie theater that is now converted over to a restaurant and it looks amazing. Such a beautiful place - the seating area and also the bar area. It also has a nice upstairs area. I had their beef brisket - which was absolutely delicious. I would love to come by here again. I came in for a late lunch Highly recommend if you are looking for a great looking place and good food. Very friendly service

My group of seven and I got greeted with kindness even though the restaurant had an hour left til closing. We appreciated it because after a day of hiking, we were starving. The hokey finals were on last night so the ambience was just amazing! The camaraderie was incredible as we joined them in their victory cheer when Canada (The Oilers) scored a winning goal. Now let's get to the food, SO DELICIOUS! Every meat dish we got was cooked to perfection. The meat was so tender and juicy. I had a Skyline Sour (whiskey sour) that tasted like Christmas in a glass. Definitely recommend. Looking forward to visiting again next time we are in Jasper.

I don't like writing negative reviews, but this place has such high ratings that I felt like I needed to post one. It's a restaurant that advertises itself primarily as a distillery and second as a smokehouse; the waitress emphasized that both of these things are their specialties. My wife ordered a burger and I ordered the smoked brisket because that was meant to be one of their specialties. To be clear, if the prices were lower, this would be more like a 3.5, but at the pricepoint it was just not good. The burger was dry and bland even though it was covered in toppings and sauce. The brisket was grey rather than pink, and so dry that the jus it came with soaked up completely every few minutes after I poured it on. There was no smoke flavor to the meat at all; the predominant and basically only flavor was black pepper, which was crusted onto the exterior. The potatoes admittedly were pretty good, both the smashed ones I had and the fries. If the prices were a bit lower and there weren't chefs in white coats running around pushing the aesthetic of a high-end eatery, again, maybe this would be a 3.5, but the way this restaurant is presenting itself and the actual food is out of step with each other.

We just had the old fashioned and a rubarb sour from Jasper brewing. We have to go back because the bar is inviting with the wood log decor and I always like bars where you sit a square surrounding the bartenders. We sat in the dining room but they have outdoor curb seating and an upper balcony outside. The drinks and sour were great as was the service but it was early and happy hour 3 to 5 pm!

My wife had the salmon, I had the brisket. My wife enjoyed the salmon and the crispy skin on the bottom. The vegetables were well cooked but lacked taste. The smoked brisket was a big disappointment. Dry and tough. No smoke flavor at all, just overly seasoned with pepper. The meat was so dry the just was no help. Over priced for what you received. Our waiter was more intimidated flirting with the hostess than checking on his customers. Never asked refilled water and did not ask if we wanted dessert. To be fair the waiter at the tables next to us was exceptional with his customers.

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and amibiance! A wonderful addition to the food scene in Jasper!

Excellent food and service was great! Nice ambiance with a rustic feel. Will return next we're in Jasper.
