Lago - LAKE LOUISE

It's one of the breakfast options at the Chateau. There's a buffet breakfast for CAD$36 or a la carte items for around $30. The buffet is a better deal for what it's worth. I had the omelette and it was cooked well and tasty. The servers were busy running around; it's obvious they have some staffing issues like everyone else. Everyone was friendly.

The wait staff and manager were very friendly and attentive. The bread service was great and tasted very fresh. The olives were excellent. The ambience was similar to what I would expect in a large chain restaurant. Large massive rooms with tons of lighting. I had the Osso Bucco which was decent but it was served with a tasteless brick of polenta that only detracted from the dish. I asked for a side of risotto because that complimented the meat much better and fortunately they comped my risotto. It was also served warm and not hot which was disappointing. My friend ordered the lasagna and it was excellent. It seemed like the pasta dishes are definitely the way to go. We skipped the dessert. The overall experience was just a bit disappointing considering this is a Fairmont but props to the wait staff for being friendly and attentive.

We enjoyed our meal here. I wouldn't say it is authentic Italian but the hotel is beautiful, food is good and service was really good. Not many options for nice restaurants in Lake Louise and this is a really good option. We would go back.

On the recommendation of server Kristin, my brother and I had the tenderloin with gnocchi, the cardonara with the chef's very special herb gel. Both great. Dessert was even better chocolate cake with espresso gelato. Service was impeccable throughout.

Our first time visiting Canadian National Parks. After a long day of sightseeing we were looking for a nice meal to finish a terrific day. We chose to have dinner at the Lago. What we ended up with was simply a fantastic meal. We started off with Mojito's.A first time drink for us both. They were delightful. My wife had the manicotti and I had the lasagne. We both enjoyed the entree's and would highly recommend them to all diners. One last note the server was Kaitlyn. She attended to us with just the right amount of attention. Thanks to the Lago and Kaitlyn!
