We made a winterlicious reservation last minute on a Friday night. Because of the bad experiences we had with winterlicious in general, we really set our bar low for Bannock.. which turned out to be ok. It's not a bad place to have a casual date or hang out with friends if you're nearby, however, I would not go out of my way to come back to Bannock. It's basically a cookie-cutter type chain restaurant you can find across the city like O&B.
I ordered the winterlicious menu, it was very average. My fiance ordered the duck poutine pizza which everyone raved about... huge portion which is great for sharing but it didn't wow me to be honest, the base of the pizza was essentially a really thin flat bread/naan that tasted like it was bought from the store... and the duck meat was not fresh (unfortunately).
I liked the dessert the most, I think I ordered the sticky pudding... which i enjoyed dearly and it honestly saved my experience at bannock!
Extremely friendly staff which is why I am giving the restaurant 3 star instead of a 2 =)!
