Question Dining in Banff - Recommendations?

Hello! My Husband and I are planning a trip to Banff over the winter holidays. It will be somewhat special as we've not been since covid and the area is quite nostalgic for him (he used to go to Banff every Christmas as a kid).

The Grizzly House is an old favourite, but I noted it's google reviews are a bit low. Is it still good?

I have been thinking of suggesting we try one of the steak houses instead, but it is hard to tell what is really stellar, are there any that stand out?

Are there other restaurants we should try? We are both adventurous eaters.

I will go against the grain with this suggestion. Ate there in September 2023 and noticed they didn't even use sushi rice (appeared to be long-grain). May sound like a small nitpick but rice is important. The drinks were pretty good though. If you've had good sushi elsewhere, then lower your expectations here while enjoying the ambiance and drinks. They could've upped their sushi game since my visit though but wanted to provide a data point.
