As a Canmore local of almost 30 years, I will say that despite my enthusiasm for a new and exciting restaurant, I found Blake's to be a huge disappointment. The restaurant reminded me of a loud high school cafeteria with it's open layout and profound chatter of patrons trying to have a conversation. More importantly, the food was an odd version of what one would call North American tapas (perhaps?), except the food seems to come all at once. For the amount of money we paid, in addition to a really lousy margarita, Blake's is nothing to boast about. It's an unfortunate review, however it is an honest one. Ask the locals. They will tell you where to go, and it isn't Blake's.
