- EMEllie McGuire2 days ago5.0I had the best experience at Añejo thanks to Mike. His service was honestly exceptional—super attentive without ever feeling over the top. He checked in at the perfect times, made great recommendations, and created such a welcoming, fun vibe the whole time. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure guests have an amazing experience. If you’re heading to Añejo, definitely ask for Mike. He made the night 10/10!
- NANichole AdamsNov 15, 20254.0Service was slow and erratic here but we apparently came during dinner rushes. I'm not sure they staff the front appropriately for the volume. We went twice and both times we had long waits after being sat, and barely saw our servers after they took our initial orders, and our servers were busy with having lengthy conversations with other tables while we did not get timely refills or napkins or additional margarita orders in. The second time we went I think the supervisor or manager saw us waiting so long and brought us water, and then we still had a long wait for our server after that. The food and drinks were exceptionally good though which is why we came back a second time. I had the patron perfect margarita and it was delicious. We also did tequila shots and those were great too. Lots of tequila on the menu. Would return but I hope the service improves

- ARAmar RamicNov 9, 20255.0This was easily the best experience I’ve had at any Añejo. The music wasn’t too loud, they had great portions of food that also arrived quickly, and Stephanie was incredibly kind and helpful at answering a few questions I had. Overall, great service and a really enjoyable visit.
- SMSusan McCallNov 9, 20255.0Had a great time at Añejo at Banff! The food was great as usual, and the service was great, and very fast. Our server, Ellie, was fantastic, and provided great service and a positive atmosphere. Definitely would dine again.
