What
an
experience!
Eden
was
recommended
to
us
by
our
wedding
planner
(Sharon
at
Elope
in
Banff),
we
had
them
as
our
pre-wedding
meal
due
to
being
closed
on
our
wedding
day.
Upon
entry
we
were
congratulated
for
our
upcoming
marriage,
treated
like
royalty,
jackets
taken
&
introduced
to
all
staff
members
who
would
be
assisting
&
serving
us.
Seated
toward
the
far
end
of
the
restaurant
with
a
view
over
the
staggered
side
of
the
Rimrock
Resort,
snow
cloud
starting
cover
the
mount
bad
when
snow
started
falling
it
really
completed
the
‘magical’
experience.
Starting
off
with
the
perfect
vodka
martini
we
then
decided
to
go
middle-ground
with
the
food
and
beverages
to
avoid
adding
extra
pounds
(lbs)
on
the
wedding
pictures,
so
we
went
for
the
5
Course
Menu
&
Classic
Wine
Pairing
but
decided
to
have
the
Caviar
Service
(Northern
Devine
Sturgeon)
-
it
came
with
sweetly
pickled,
finely
diced
red
onion,
chive
emulsion,
aoli,
and
freeze
dried
egg
yolk,
the
caviar
provides
the
wonderful
saltiness,
the
additional
enhancements
lifted
the
flavour,
knowing
it
is
the
only
certified
organic
caviar
in
North
America
was
a
plus
point.
On
to
the
Artisanal
Breads
&
Butters
(Fermented
Butter,
whipped
goats
cheese
butter
&
whipped
salted
butter
-
breads
were
sourdough
with
oil
drizzle,
dark
rye
and
a
salt
with
cracked
pepper
crisp
bread
in
between)
-
we
had
seconds
as
they
were
so
good!
But
don’t
spoil
your
appetite!
We
were
then
provided
with
an
Artichoke
Velouté
with
Caviar
as
a
‘gift’
from
the
kitchen,
it
was
so
light
and
creamy,
we
wish
there
had
been
more.
On
to
the
main
event…
Cold
Smoked
Arctic
Char,
Caribou
Tataki,
Icelandic
Cod,
Dry
Aged
Brome
Lake
Duck
and
Brant
Lake
Wagyu,
followed
by
Mandarin
Eaton
Mess
and
Chocolate
Miso…
we
ended
up
ordering
another
Chocolate
Miso
as
my
soon-to-be
husband
was
jealous
of
my
chocolate
choice,
this
resulted
in
me
having
the
Raspberry
Entremet,
to
ensure
we
had
tried
as
many
desserts
as
possible,
all
the
while
loosening
our
belts!
All
the
dishes
were
truly
exquisite,
beautifully
crafted
and
perfectly
balanced,
the
attention
to
detail
was
second
to
known
and
each
dish
told
a
story
and
the
wine
helped
that
story
‘flow’
from
dish
to
dish.
The
sparkling
and
desert
wine
pairings
were
lovely
and
the
red
wine
was
utterly
perfect,
but
the
white
wine
pairings
were
not
to
our
taste,
they
were
a
little
too
strong
and
overbearing
for
the
meal,
but
we
are
not
trained
in
wine
tasting
and
were
offered
alternatives
but
declined
due
to
the
amount
of
alcohol
already
consumed
so
this
in
no
way
detracts
from
the
5*
review
as
each
person
has
their
own
taste!
Our
Sommelier
was
Robert,
he
was
was
very
friendly
and
fully
explained
each
wine
and
the
reason
he
chose
it,
however
we
felt
he
could
have
‘loosened’
up
a
little
bit
and
had
a
bit
more
fun
with
us
as
guests
as
he
appeared
a
little
stiff.
We
were
served
/
looked
after
by
Marie-Claude
for
the
duration
of
the
meal,
she
was
a
true
delight!
Taking
time
to
get
to
know
us,
we
felt
we
could
have
a
personal
conversation
&
it
was
great
getting
to
know
her
background
both
in
her
personal
life
of
where
she
comes
from
and
what
she
enjoys.
Marie-Claude
remained
extremely
professional
and
attentive
throughout,
never
missing
a
beat.
The
added
touches
which
truly
made
this
a
5*,
out
of
this
world
experience,
were
things
such
as
fresh
hand
creams
and
mouthwash
in
the
bathroom,
your
napkin
being
folded
as
you
left
the
table
and
re-laid
on
to
your
lap
as
you
sit
down
and
the
synchronised
service.
We
thought
this
was
it,
but
we
were
then
gifted
with
housemade
banana
bread
before
leaving
and
a
confectionery
assortment,
all
of
which
were
divine
when
we
got
round
to
eating
them,
but
also
upon
being
handed
our
jackets,
realised
they
were
warm,
turns
out
Eden
has
a
heated
jacket
closest!
To
top
it
all
off
we
were
offered
one
of
the
Rimrock
Resort
vehicles
and
a
driver
to
take
us
to
our
hotel
as
the
management
were
informed
by
the
team
that
we
didn’t
drive
up.
For
anyone
wishing
to
have
a
truly
unrivalled
dining
experience,
Eden
at
the
Rimrock
Resort
is
THE
place
to
go,
we
will
be
back.
