You can't beat the view! The food is OK and the prices on the high side, but you are paying for the view and the experience and it is well worth it! Located on the first viewing level of the CN Tower, the restaurant is located against a wall of windows so everyone has a incredible view. Dinner or Sunset to watch the lights come on is a great time to visit. If you do not have a reservation, you will have a wait but it is definitely worth the time. The service is friendly and good. Check out the menu before you go. A do not miss experience if you are going to the CN Tower. TIP: If you have a reservation, you can skip lines at the bottom of the tower. read more

You can't ask for a better view. I was surprised at how good the food was for being such a touristy place. My friend and I went for brunch and it was a perfect way to see the city, enjoy good food and get to see a touristy place for a good price. It's a great deal to eat here. read more

We totally thought this place would be a tourist trap for those who wanted to visit for the views, but we were wrong. The food was actually pretty good and above average. First off, getting a reservation wasn't too hard. We showed up a the front of CN tower and lined up to go through to obnoxious security (which I can prove to be useless). Took about 5 minutes to pass through the line and another couple minutes for the security to check your stuff. Walked into the lobby and straight up to the reception. I asked if it was possible to get a reservation for a table for 5. She said there were tables available and we could get booked for first seating at 11am. Going up to the restaurant took longer than passing through security and the reservation process. I believe they only have 2 lifts for the restaurant and they work simultaneously, but still we had to wait for about 15 minutes. Scored a window seating. Server was nice and had a sense of humor. Worth mentioning: - Dry Aged Ribeye, claimed to be 40+ day aged. I personally eat a lot of dry aged beef because we have a local butcher which does aging. The aged beef served at the restaurant didn't have the aged beef taste that I was hoping for. But, it was super juicy and tender. Grilled close to perfection. - Mussels (appetizer), these were good. They mussels used were pretty meaty and the soup base had plenty of taste to them. Failed: - Cod, horribly done.. super dry - Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon, skip as well. Dry The chefs don't seem to know how to do fish well. Price = pretty decent for $59CAD which = to be about $45USD. The ribeye was much more, but we don't need to talk about that right now. It cost about $33CAD = $25USD for general admission of the tower, which you only get to walk around and take a few pictures. For a few bucks more, you can enjoy your lunch or dinner and sit in for over and hr to get the spectacular view and eat something. Take this for example, if you just go up to the tower and come back down, you still need to spend money on food. Considering a hotdog and soft drink will probably cost you 10CAD. You do the math. I say it's a solid 3.5 stars rounded up read more

The food and the view were all great. But first, we found hair in the dish, like we saw the hair inside the fish after we flip it. We told the server and he didnt even apologize, he just said its an open space, hair is everywhere. Second, the server almost didnt do anything. Didnt add water for us, didint take the empty plates, didnt even ask if we r doing ok... Very poor service. read more

Our server Phillip was not pleasant and visibly annoyed with any questions we had. The appetizers were amazing but when it came to the main dishes and drinks, they weren't good at all. If you're looking to have dinner with a view, we wouldn't recommend. Save money and just tour the tower instead of eating here. read more

The view from the dining area is spectacular and given that it is a bit of a tourist thing, I didn't expect great food. I was wrong. My meal was great and service was personal. I would recommend coming at sunset and dining at dusk. read more

360 Restaurant - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We were visiting Toronto, wanted to see the city view from the CN tower, and had lunch there for the hubby's birthday. I made the reservation three days ago on open table and then reconfirmed by calling this morning and requesting a table by the window. The restaurant makes a revolution every 72 minutes and we did not feel rushed to leave. Our group chose the 2 course lunch for $58. I had the 360 green salad which was very light and fresh and delicious. It far exceeded my low expectations for a tourist restaurant, in fact, I'd love to replicate it at home. The duck sausage main course was fantastic. We didn't care for the squid appetizer because the squid seemed tough and overly smoky. Hubby thought his pork belly and scallop dish was mediocre. One daughter had risotto which she said was, "good." The other daughter had prime rib medium rare which she gobbled up but it looked a bit more toward medium to me. I ordered the wine pairings with my 360 salad and duck sausage and they were really were the perfect accompaniments. There's a reason this restaurant has won wine awards! The kiddos ordered $12 non alcoholic drinks that include take home glasses with the tower etched on the side. Our server brought us a bag with new glasses wrapped and ready to go, at the end of the meal, which dazzled the girls. Hubby was given a yummy chocolate lava cake with happy birthday written in chocolate around the plate edge. It was a nice addition to his meal. Our server thought the youngest had ordered the lava cake and ended up giving us the extra one. The service was a tad slow but we prefer that to being rushed through a celebratory meal. I think we could have sped up the service if we had asked. It was an unforgettable birthday and I'd go back for another special occasion. I also recommend it for a first visit to the CN tower as it costs $36 for general admission to two tower levels. Everyone must go through the security check and metal detector but after that process it seemed like we breezed through to the 360 elevator with our lunch reservation. read more

This is really an amazing restaurant experience. Dining more than a thousand feet above Toronto on a revolving platform is a truly unique experience. The nice thing about this restaurant is that it doesn't just rely on the revolving platform to provide a great experience. The food is a true fine dining experience. Everyone's dishes were really good and I'd definitely recommend the cod three ways. Be careful when you go to the bathroom! The tables keep revolving and if you don't remember your section you can get very disoriented! read more

Let's just get it out of the way. If you are here, you're here for the AMAZING views at the top of the CN Tower. That's why I booked a table here. You are (most likely) getting a front row seat to a rotating dining experience that lets you see the whole city while you dine. I was a little nervous about the food since I read reviews ahead of time, but everything that came to our table was delicious. Expensive yes. I did the prix fix dining which for 2 courses was $56 CAD per person. The reason I did that is because they said that the observation deck viewing was included with the price, but here's something - I don't think they would have cared / known that if I just bought an entree that I went to go see the observation deck. Once we finished eating we were told to take the staircase down, see what we want, then come back up to take the elevator back down so that we skip all the lines. This is definitely an experience. I was touring Toronto and it was a must see place so it was worth the cost. read more

Okay let me start off by saying the view was amazing same as for the elevator going up and the glass floor. I loved the experience but as for options on foods it wasn't that many. The Food was okay wasn't all that either but i mean i guess you're paying for the view basically and not for the food. Me and my hubby did the 2 course menu and in total he paid $180 it's $10 extra each if you want to eat beef ribs. The dessert was good i loved it. Our waiter Micheal wasn't great he did take a while to serve us and ask for what we wanted to eat and so on. Plus he insisted on a tip very loudly " so no tip on the card " which obviously we are going to tip but we always tip in cash. So as a waiter you shouldn't insist on a tip. That's rude in my opinion. So if you wanna go for the experience do it but you would not enjoy the food. Niether the service. read more

It's a heck of a view from the 360 restaurant. While I don't think it is the highest restaurant in the world anymore (that's in Dubai), it's certainly the tallest view of this city. The entire outer edge of the restaurant completes a full revolution in a brisk 72 minutes (and why people are determined to test this is beyond me). This gives you a wide vista of the lake, Toronto Island, and the downtown core. As a non-tourist to Toronto -- and therefore not effervescently soaking in every wonderous facet of the tower -- I found getting here a little annoying. There is a green-screen photobooth on ground level (which we sprinted past) and then a wait at the elevators, and then yet another wait to get into the restaurant; odd considering it's reservations only. It was a relief once we were seated. The 360 has the atmosphere of an upscale chain steakhouse. Note that there are some tables NOT situated directly next to windows, and I would feel hosed were I seated there. (Mostly two-tops.) Probably worth clarifying this specifically when making a reservation. Much has been said about the high-prices here, so I will only chime to agree that yes, the menu is pretty overpriced for what you get. You'll probably end up ordering either the $55 or $68 prix fixe meals, as scanning a la carte pricing might give you vertigo (shrimp and grits: $50?). I opted for the bigger prix fixe. We started off well. The charcuterie board was served with Kozlik's mustard and had some nice Quebec cheeses. And there was a dill gazpacho served in a shot glass as an amuse bouche. Ooh la la. My entrée (which took a while) was a prime rib with bread pudding. The prime rib was cooked OK, but it wasn't stellar. I can't put my finger on it, but it just wasn't melt-in-your-mouth succulent. The bread pudding is easier to assess: burnt and bitter. It was truly terrible, and I wish I hadn't even taken a bite. My goat's milk vanilla ice cream for dessert was topped with dulce de leche and caramelized bananas. Not a bad way to end off a meal. By the time we left, the sun had set and downtown had transformed into twinkling lights against the darkness. (Our 7:30pm reservation let us catch the skyline in daylight, and let us enjoy the sunset too.) The atmosphere is definitely enjoyable, but food-wise you're likely to be disappointed. Obligatory Title Pun: Unsuited for TOWERING expectations. Menu Readability: Well-designed to make you order the prix-fixe. Need to mention: No patio. Unless you want to die. What this place teaches me about myself: My favourite 360s in descending order: Anderson Cooper 360, Volvo 360, X-box 360, U2 360 tour, and the Rickenbacker 360. read more

The prixe fix menus are usually your best bet. Appetizer, entree, dessert for about 50 dollars. The trek up to this restaurant is not worth the food they serve. Parking is expensive and far away. Once you park you need to walk all the way over to the lobby, then you need to walk up the ramp, around the hall, and up a long elevator. This restaurant "revolves." And by "revolve" I mean that it doesn't actually revolve. The building is stationary with a revolving platform on the edges. You sit on this platform and watch the world go round. The food is good, but better good can be had elsewhere. The service is slow, but you have a 360 view of the city so you're not supposed to notice. It's great for tourists, but repeat customers are a rarity. read more

We came here on a whim as my roommate and I realized we had never actually been to CN tower, despite living two minutes away. It was quite the experience. I really think this is the best way to visit CN tower. With reservations beforehand, you get to skip the line downstairs. Your visit to the observation desk is complimentary if you order a prix fixe (normally it's $35 for the observation desk). The $70 spent on this meal was more than worth it. Even if the food was mediocre, I would still say I would have gladly paid it. This view by far is the best I have ever seen in any restaurant. In case you didn't know, the restaurant's floor revolves, so that in a span 2 hours you get to see a literal 360 view of Toronto. For the first ten minutes my friends and I just sat there and gawked at the view. It's that good. I highly recommend the Kozlik's Triple Crunch Mustard Braised Lamb Shank with green olive, Yukon potato mash and spiced Swiss chard. The lamb was very tender, and marinated so well. The Steamed East Coast Mussels and Clams with coconut curry broth, scallions and coriander was quite good as well. One taste of it and you can tell that the mussels and clams were still alive 20 minutes before serving. The music selection was absolutely atrocious though. I was expecting something jazzy or classical for this restaurant, but they were playing old pop music (or was it country even)? Either way, it was extremely unpleasant and kind of destroyed the otherwise perfect atmosphere for me. Loved everything about this lunch. One of my favourite dining experiences this whole year for sure. Oh, and by the way, this restaurant also probably claims titles for being the best restaurant to play I-spy at. Have a field day. read more

The food was amazing!!! Seriously probably one of the best restaurants we went to on our trip. Our waiter Paul C was incredible. He made the experience worth while with his professional photography skills, great recommendations and personality. The price is expensive, but not when considering the price to just go see the view (about $40 per person). A meal for 2 is half the price of just being allowed to see the view in the observatory deck. The line for the restaurant is separate for the view, which is no where near as long but definitely make a reservation first. We were lucky to just walk in when it said it was booked online so definitely give that a try if nothing else is available. read more

360 Restaurant - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Meal: Dinner, dine in All Ratings out of 10: Quality of food: 7 Food to Spend Value: 6 Quality of Service: 8 Overall Rating: 7 My team had a reservation at the 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower, and I have to admit I had some trepidation about the place. Given that it is a tourist destination, combined with really poor experience at other tower restaurants (such as the Space Needle restaurant in Seattle), I had valid reasons to be concerned. I am happy to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Some of the most popular options are the prix fixe menu, where you can go with a 2 course (app and main or main and dessert), or a 3 course (all 3). They also have some ala carte options with some additional entrees not on the prix fixe menu, as well as side dishes. There is a separate seafood menu as well that features things such as the chilled seafood towers. Needless to say, there were a lot of options to choose from. I wasn't really feeling any of the apps in the set course, and the ala carte entrees sounded more appealing than the set menu, so I decided to deviate from most of the group and order ala carte. I started with the East Coast Seafood Chowder. It was more bisque-like than it was chowder-like, but that wasn't a problem at all. It was surprisingly hearty and had clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops, as well as a piece of double smoked bacon and a lump of lobster crème fraiche. It was a rich soup and had a great flavor. It wasn't amazing, but it was really good. When I first looked at the menu, I had my eye on the Bison Tenderloin, and that is ultimately what I ordered. It was accompanied with black walnut and parsnip puree and west coast black trumpet mushrooms. The sauce base was Warner's Farm black currant and chili jus. I ordered it medium rare (no other way to have a filet!), and it was cooked perfectly. The richness of the bison came out very nicely, and the steak melted in my mouth. The accompaniments weren't quite as good, but they did go well with the bison. I enjoyed the entire entrée. I decided to get a side order of Brussel sprouts (with double smoked bacon lardons), and they were quite tasty. I have certainly had better sprouts, but they had a great flavor with a firm texture that wasn't crunchy. Even though I went off the prix fixe menu, since everyone else was getting dessert, I decided to join the party. I went with the apricot frangipane tart. The main tart had big pieces of apricot, and it was garnished with white chocolate and whipped cream. It also had a syrupy sauce on the side that was sweet and complemented the tart that was a bit more savory. The tart wasn't quite what I was expecting, and it didn't blow me away, but it was good. It was foggy when we first sat down, but thankfully it did clear up. The views were breathtaking, as you are able to get a panoramic view of the city. You also are able to go to the observation deck and walk around, which we did. The service in the restaurant was excellent, and the courses came out with good spacing. The quality of the food was great, though it wasn't mind blowing. Had the food been less expensive, I would probably rate it higher on that front, but 360 is not cheap. The soup I had was $24 by itself, and the bison dish was $85. I have had bison other places that was better and not paid anywhere near that much. I realize there is a huge markup due to the tourist aspect, and this makes the food unreasonably expensive in my opinion. However, if you are going to pay to go up to the observation deck, that fee is waived with a reservation, so from that perspective the fee is essentially built into the cost of the food. Unlike past experiences at other tower restaurants, I really enjoyed 360. It is not the best food I have ever had, and it is way overpriced. The views are amazing, and the food is quite good, so I would recommend doing it at least once. It is especially fun with a large group, though remember that you should get reservations. read more

Went here for a birthday dinner date. First, the atmosphere was amazing. I have always loved the CN Tower and travelling up it (especially with a lady on your arm) is always amazing. A beautiful view, nice lighting, and classy/comfortable environment. Just for this alone it is worth going there. The food was great, pricey, but great. I can still taste the salad entree... yes the beginning salad... it was that good. I had a steak and it was medium well done, and the chef seasoned and cooked it well. Dessert was a chocolate cake which was dripping hot/cold awesomeness. The only negative is the price for everything, but for those nights where you really need to have a spectacular night where price isn't a problem, I recommend. read more

Stop 4 of AlzCon 2k16. (The third one is too boring to review.) Quite frankly, I hate views, because I am of the strong opinion that anything which someone did not create is not worth my time. And they're boring. Cities are interesting because of how dense they are with cool, unknown things to find (which is how Pokémon Go managed to take over the world), not because of how pretty the skyline of stupid glass office boxes are. The whole crux of 360 Restaurant lies firmly in its turning view, which makes the whole experience almost as uninspired as its godawful name. You see, the view is actually a distraction for the food, which is equally unimportant and terrible. Eating the bread is like chewing on cardboard. The rib eye steak (which is obviously cheap in that it's not marbled or fatty and more akin to prime rib) looks and tastes like it was baked instead of grilled, and is woefully unseasoned, with steak sauce left on the side in an unsuccessful attempt to veil laziness with style. Sweet potato fries came with mayo, for some reason. (Dip them in the steak sauce instead, legit.) This restaurant is my antithesis. You should only come here if you have too much money to spend, and can't be bothered to support good local registrants like La Palette. To complement the food, I recommend bleach. Have I mentioned how much I hate views? 1/5 read more

Julie 3 Stars for the View 1 STAR FOR THE CRAPPY FOOD averages out to 2 Stars. Forget that... Changing it to 1 STAR.... I guess it's a spot to go if you're a tourist or if you want to impress your non-foodie date..... Went for a $68 prix fixe.... Knew it was going to go bad with the "Bread Test"... Hmmmm, what's the bread test???? Well, if you know that you're going to spend $100 bucks on dinner at a restaurant, they should have pretty good bread, right ??? Well, it Sucked... Stale, Chewy and old tasting. Couldn't they at least warm it up????? How hard is that. Waiters are not too attentive as we sat there waiting for a while before orders were taken. Other than that, the waiters are bad when providing service as they reach across tables instead of walking around the table. But on to the food.... This one is a chore... Started with Amuse bouche which was watermelon with feta cheese. Ok starter... How do you screw up a bite size piece of watermelon and some cheese. App was Galantine of King Duck and Foie Gras..... Horrrrible.... Worse I've ever had. Tasted like it came out of a can??? What up... truly terrible. Entree was Pacific Halibut and Panko Fried Oysters - Oven dried Roma tomatoes, early summer potatoes, lemon aïoli, caper vinaigrette. Terriblllleeeeee. Halibut was a rock and the fried oysters tasted worse than a microwave meal. Tomatoes and potatoes were the only things edible. Didn't see any capers??? Dessert was Berry Shortcake and sour cream ice cream. The cake was stale and definitely OLD and HARD. WTFFF???? could not believe it. The best part of my whole meal was the sour cream ice cream. How can this be a restaurant???? Please avoid. Go see the view at the observation deck and get a burger at the restaurant on the observation level. But don't dine at 360.... read more

360 Restaurant - Canadian (New) Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Like many others, I broke down my review as such: Food - 3.5 Views - 5 Service - 5 Uniqueness - 5 So, I'm a fan. Obviously, eating atop a giant tower in a revolving restaurant will inflate food and drink prices a bit. There are two- and three-course meal options available and a la carte selections. The meal options are a way better deal because you get similar (or the same) entree with additional food. The three-course menu was $79CAD per person (about $60US per person). Drinks were $5-$10US, so typical of a restaurant/bar. Some of the cocktails were a bit pricier but also fancier so you get what you pay for. I enjoyed my soup (yellow tomato and corn gazpacho) and baked ziti with wild mushrooms. There weren't a ton of mushrooms in the entree, but the ziti and chili sauce were delicious. My husband got the aged ribeye entree and really enjoyed it. It was a little too rare (even though he ordered medium rare) so maybe make sure they cook it medium throughout and not just one section of the cut. Since they served bread before the meal, I filled up on a bit too much of that (there was some waiting between app and entree) so I almost couldn't finish my dessert. I had the sorbet which was delicious and my husband had ice cream and cookies, which he loved. The homemade fig newton was yummo. Obviously, the view is excellent. It takes 72 minutes for the restaurant to make one full rotation and they seem to have dinner timed pretty well to coincide with that revolution. We basically ended where we started (a little later) so we were only up there for like 90 minutes. Even though there are a lot of people, it didn't seem too loud and our server was funny and there whenever we needed him. We actually witnessed a proposal in their wine cellar which was super cute and the couple was obviously ecstatic. This was a great place to spend our 5th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the views, the bar below was quick and not super full while we waited for our reservation time, and our dinner came with complete access to the two levels of viewing decks, including the glass floor. We spent a bit of time down there after the meal and really enjoyed ourselves, even though it was still crowded for 11 p.m. Reservations are easy to make on their website so make sure you do that because it seemed like 95% of the tables were reserved when we arrived at 9 p.m. read more

Wow.... what a disappointment. I knew that I was getting sucked into a tourist trap but I thought I would at least have a good time doing so. Instead I was left with my wallet emptied and taste buds unfulfilled. The decor is not much to talk about. Everything is cappuccino colored wood, from the chairs to the walls, the only things that weren't that color was the white ceiling and cutlery on the table. There's really no need to have a nice decor when you have the best view of the city and surrounding suburbs. Service was great as the place wasn't busy and the waitstaff was happy and always around when you needed them to check on you. Problem is that this service dropped extremely quickly once the Jonas brothers and their Disney friends showed up. As nice as the Jonas brothers and friends were and as big of a star you have in your restaurant, normal clientele shouldn't suffer at the expense of having someone famous around. I really liked the food I got, problem is that I shared the $80 seafood tower and it would be pretty hard to mess it up as everything is basic boiled, steamed, served raw, and finished off with lemon. The tower was huge and there definitely were a lot of leftovers, definitely worth the price even if I wasn't in a tourist spot I would pay that much for it. The others that were with me didn't have such a great food experience. Not that it was bad, it was just pretty standard and lifeless is all. Nothing exciting, flavors were mediocre, and presentation wasn't what you would expect for a tourist trap. The cooks must have been hoping that the excitement would all come from the view and not the food. Definitely not worth the $69 prix-fixe 3-course meal. I know it does sound like a bargain, but with quality that low, it isn't. Steak was chewy, duck was tough, dessert was uninteresting and there was a foul odor coming from some sort of sausage. If you wanna do the whole tourist thing I recommend doing it through the restaurant as you won't have to wait in the tourist line for an hour and access to the CN tower is free with your meal. Overall, I'm glad I got to do this as I haven't been to the CN tower since I was 8. Probably one of the better places for standard seafood in the city. That being said I wouldn't go back without a reason since everything else was such a flop. read more

The restaurant sucks but the view is worth it if you go for lunch and know not to expect too much. Because if you pay for an entree you dont pay to get to the observatory floor. Otherwise, steer clear. The service sucks, they really dont care too much here... I didn't eat my first course because it was gross. I gave it a try but it was disgusting me. It reminded me of what you drink before a colonoscopy. Plus it was cold soup--and I guess I dont think it's appropriate in October. The waiter noticed I didn't eat. "You didnt like?" I said no and he shrugged, like "whatever", and took away the soup. You don't offer a salad instead? My soda was empty. Didnt care. The chicken and green beans were decent but the potatoes were wayyyyy oversalted, although edible--as long as you're not hypertensive. Desert was good, but waiter never refilled coffee. Because he didn't care. Bascially the service sucks and the food is meh. It's what I like to call fake fancy...tricking tourists into believing they are eating at a classy four star restaurant is fake fancy. read more

This is one of the worst "restaurants in a fancy tall tower" restaurant. The quality of food is depressingly low. Me and my girlfriend took a reservation here at 8 pm and were seated in a table for 2 which was not adjacent to the mirrors. Upon our request we were moved after 45 minutes of wait time to a table near the Windows. This is perfectly fine because they always have a page volume of people to accommodate. I was actually glad that they considered my girlfriends request and moved us accordingly but then came the sad part. We took the 2 course pri-fix menu in which she ordered he chicken and I order the salmon. The chicken was dry, hard and felt cooked a long time ago. The salmon was clearly not fresh and the fish overall was below average. I have had much better salmon in restaurants while paying much less. All in all, I would recommend people to not at all waste their money on the food here. Just come up for the view and leave. read more

Went to this restaurant almost on a whim while visiting Toronto. The good - the view is absolutely spectacular. For that alone (and the uniqueness of the experience) I don't at all regret going there. The wine list is also pretty extensive though overpriced. Finally, the tower dessert was pretty tasty. The mediocre - the food (and overpriced). My steak was bland and not even seasoned. It was also poorly cooked - seemed like they were really missing on the proper technique to cook steak. The appetizer was also mediocre. The service was overall slow though our lady was attentive. Basically I think fine dining is an exaggeration for this place. More like a mid-range food with over-the-top prices and a phenomenal view. Worth doing once. read more

I visited Toronto about a year ago, and my amazing cousin's took my mom and I to dinner at this restaurant and the view was just amazing. I'm giving 4 stars mainly for the view, the Prix Fixe meals were "meh." What's not to love when you're 100 stories off the ground! Food: I had a salad, chicken, which was a little dry but overall edible, and a chocolate dessert. The food was decent overall, enough to fill me up. What amazed me most was the view! The view is honestly to die for. I was able to watch the sunset as we revolved around, and it was gorgeous! I enjoyed watching the planes take off and land, and the ability for my cousins to point out special locations for me, since I was a tourist. This almost made up for the mediocre meal I had. Note: You should note what table you sit at, if you do use the washroom. The dining area revolves, but the washrooms do not. So it would be a good idea just to remember where your table is located at. :) read more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a meal at the 360 Restaurant recently to celebrate a special occasion. We made a reservation ahead of time, which allowed us to skip all those annoying CN Tower lines and get to the top of the tower in record time (and in an uncramped elevator). We were seated almost immediately next to a window, which we had requested when making the reservation. I ordered the $55 prix fixe menu, which covered not only my ride to the top, but a three course meal as well. I chose their Ceasar salad, cornish game hen, and butter tart with maple ice cream. The salad was very good. The ingredients were fresh, and the dressing wasn't overpowering or overdone. My biggest complaint about this course? Our waiter was a little on the lurk-y side. I know we were there for an earlier sitting, and that they would be taking reservations after ours, but coming to check on me four or five times during a single course? It's a bit much. My boyfriend had sweet potato fries with a lemon aioli while I ate my salad, and he said they were fresh, sweet, and the quantity was such that it began to justify the hefty price tag. The cornish game hen was good, if not a bit unforgettable. It was certainly cooked well, but it was nothing you couldn't get at a street-level restaurant. The butter tart, however, was fantastic. The maple ice cream perfectly complemented the flavours, and the candied pecans sprinkled on top were a perfect addition. All in all, I love this restaurant. The food and experience makes the price tag feel worthwhile. The only thing I really hate? The forced "photo op" before you take the elevator to the top. Why would I want a green screen photo of me "sitting" in the restaurant when I can take one myself when I am actually up there. It felt forced upon us as well, as if we weren't allowed to bypass and just head up to our reservation. read more

During my first visit to Toronto, I wanted to do the touristy thing and visit the CN tower. Instead of paying $32 to go up to the observation deck and the "glass floor (i.e. a scratched up window that you can barely see anything underneath), they offered a deal to go up for free if you either order a prix fixe or one entree per person. Seeing how the entrees ranged from $35-$50, it made the most sense to go up! I ordered a vegetarian dish -- crispy eggplant with paneer and soy protein. It was amazing. I'm usually a little harsh on poorly-fused Indian fusion, but this dish was a pretty good mix of flavors. The crispy shallots also added to the unique flavor. I was a huge fan! We also ordered the sweet potato fries and the asparagus with orange butter. Both dishes were pretty good, albeit overpriced. The sangria was pretty good, too! And not as expensive as the rest of the meal. The dessert -- pineapple tartin was REALLY interesting. Although I'm not normally a ginger fan, I really enjoyed the blending of the flavors of ginger and pineapple with the butternut squash/ginger ice cream. It even came with a fluff of cotton candy! Overall, a great experience. The service is great, ambience is great. Recommended to go when the restaurant first opens around 5pm, and to go on a clear, sunny day. Takes about an hour for the restaurant to make a full circle. Once you dine in this restaurant, visiting the observation decks below seems...blah. I would recommend this for tourists! :) read more

So pleasantly surprised! Expecting to find typical tourist trap food and service we couldn't have been more delighted. Expensive, yes, but the food was excellent, well flavored and very carefully prepared. Service was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, pleasant and friendly. The view is delightful, I'd recommend arriving 45 minutes to an hour before sunset, after dark you only see city lights. read more

Overrated. Overpriced. Fixed prices. Your only menu choices are: A) $65 for 2 courses B) $80 for 3 courses C) a la carte meat and seafood for minimum $65 and up to $95. -Appetizers are horrendously tiny. I had the beef tartar which was bland. -The gnocchi were literally fried potatoes that tasted awful - this is not gnocchi!! -The Atlantic Salmon main dish was good but the cheddar cheese on top was an odd addition. Avoid this tourist trap. You're better off paying for the tour to the top of CN which is cheaper than the restaurant!! read more

Woooow! The CN Tower is fantastic as it is, but last night, I went to the 360 for the first time. First, you go through a series of checkpoints (the security area with the space-age metal detectors was my hubbys fave part of the whole night, lol), then up the elevator (not the cool glass one, though). Once at the top, we proceeded to the maitre d' desk to be seated. The place was PACKED solid. My hubby said it reminded him a lot of an airport, but I found it cute. Seating is cramped and I had a lady constantly backing her chair into mine all evening. The Good: STEAK!! MMmMMM I had the 360 caesar salad appetizer ($14), followed by the steak & lobster ($118). The steak was fall-apart yummy-ness, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. The lobster, however was over cooked, so a lot of it was hard and inedible...and there was mushy brown gunk, that I can only assume was spoiled meat mixed in with it. Ick. It came with delicious mash, bok choy and steamed asparagus. Can we say STUFFED!! Other than the lobster, which was a disappointment, my meal was fabulous and very filling. Hubby had the seafood appetizer, which was some kind of white fish covered in vinegrette and lemon, Lobster meat and shrimp all squished into little tapas dishes. Hubby had a hard time getting his fork into the dishes and said they should offer chopsticks, but he enjoyed it. For his main, He had the 20oz steak with a side of grilled asparagus (sold seperate...the steak came alone..) and he ordered the tomato and swiss chard (sp?) side, as well, but after tasting it he decided although it tasted good, he felt it did not compliment his steak and sent it back. We split a bottle of 2008 Chardonnay White Zinfandel that tasted more like fruit juice then wine and we got pretty tipsy :D The Not So Good: Even with a reservation, we waited a good 15 minutes to be seated. While waiting, I watched the maitre d' cough (more like hack) directly into his hands, then immediately touch menus, reservation tickets, etc. Gross... Kelly, our super-awesome waiter was exceptional! He was attentive and friendly, constantly refilled my glass of wine (I blame him for my hangover today lol) and even took the tomato and swiss chard off our bill, since we barely touched it. He was definitely worth his tip. ($75) Bottom Line: Beautiful scenery (as long as your seated next to the window and not on the higher level), small and cramped, yet cozy and romantic. Our bill came out to $370 before tip, so this is a VERY-special-occassion-only type place, but I'm pretty sure we'll find a good occassion to be back. Last night was our 4 year anniversary :D Definitely have the steak!! read more

We had a fantastic waiter (George) who was very personable and knowledgeable. It was nice that they have a "relaxed" philosophy so you don't feel rushed. The portions were very reasonable, as it wasn't so much that you had to take some home. Only took a star away because the food was good, but not really "five star". Your money is definitely for the views. This was definitely a great experience for a couple of out of towners like us! read more

Yes, as many have stated, the food isn't anything to rave about, but it's decent. Our waiter had no personality and seemed bothered to be there, but wasn't exactly rude and still helped us with anything we needed. Those items aside, I still give this place 4 starts because: - You skip the HUGE line to go up the tower. At least we did, with an early dinner reservation. - You are paying to go up anyway, might as well get some food for it. - You still get to enjoy the other level (Outdoor observation deck and glass floor room) - Killer view - Restaurant went around 2 times during our dinner, dessert, and a coffee so we got to see a lot. read more

Read a lot of complaints about portion size; quality etc. Here's my take; my wife and I ordered from the Prix Fixe menu. She had the salad, ravioli and sorbet for dessert. I had the smoked mushroom and onion soup, prime rib and the apple-walnut cake. My wife had absolutely no issues with her meal whatsoever. On my side, soup was absolutely fantastic. Prime rib was cooked perfectly and could have been eaten even if I didn't have teeth. Lol. Cake was very good but not overly exciting. After drinks and coffee our bill was about $225. We were pleasantly full but not uncomfortably stuffed. As a rare event (once in a lifetime for some) I have spent more money and gotten less portion and quality in other fine dining restaurants. If you're visiting the city then this is a must. The view is a 10/10, atmosphere is an 8/10, staff is 10/10. Value for price I'd say is 8.5/10. read more

Sure its pricey, but did you look around? The view and the drinks are spectacular. The food was decent. I shared the small sea food platter with a friend. It wasn't anything special. I had the stuffed porn medallion, this was surprisingly tasty. My friend had the steak and it was a basic steak. The dessert was baked cobbler with some ice cream- the best thing we ate! Since your admission to the CN tower is included in the meal price, I think it is worth atleast 1 visit. Rating: I am torn between 2 and 3 read more

The cost of eating here is definitely pricey, but the food is really good. I recommend the prix fix menu. The options are good for $60. My wife and I both ordered the sesame crusted salmon for our main course. She ordered the duck salad for the first course and I ordered the roasted beets tart. Both were delicious. For dessert, I ordered the apple crumb, which is apples, crumbs and cinnamon ice cream. My wife had the dark chocolate tower, which was extremely delicious. After dinner, you simply walk down two flights to the observation deck. The cost of the observation deck is $32. This is included when you dine at the restaurant. I think it's worth the cost because the food is really good and the experience is great. You're eating good food and overlooking the entire Toronto region in a restaurant that spins. My only complaint stems from the picture you take before you are escorted up the CN Tower to the restaurant. While you're eating, the staff come up to your table with pictures in hand asking if you wish to purchase. It's overkill considering they provide you with a ticket to view your pictures AFTER you dine. I don't want to be coerced to make a purchase while I'm eating. Overall, if you're in Toronto and you don't mind spending a decent amount of money on food and a view above Toronto, I highly recommend 360. read more

I went there for the first time this Sunday. Overall not worth the price. The view, fantastic. Food, below everage. Service, pretty good. In my opinion it's worth going there once for the experience. That's about it. read more

I went to that restaurant with my friend, coming from France. I made a reservation for 9:45 pm, which is pretty late if you want to take the best advantage of the view, by seeing the lake and the city during the sunset... Some friends recommended me to take the seafood platter for 45$ : any deception, it was delicious ! We stayed for 1h30 which is actually the time to make a complete 360° turn (yes, the restaurant is rotating). The service was ok, we hadn't wait too long. This restaurant is very classy and stylish. I didn't see any kids...only couples around 30 -40 yo. Pieces of friendly advice : make the reservation a long time before, take the seafood platter if you like it, and go there to admire the sunset ! read more

The food was alright, nothing too special. I had the 45-day old tenderloin steak and for that price, I think you can get much better at other places. The only concern I had was the service. I had a reservation at 5:30pm and made a request to sit by the window for the view. When I got there, the seat was not offered to me because they were full, which is fine since they told me it's not guaranteed. When the couple sitting by the window left, I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if we could be switched over to that table since no one is sitting there now. Shockingly, the waiter snapped back at me with a solid no, because other people are waiting, they're very busy, and we're not the only ones who want it. "That's all I'm saying" was how he ended his response.. and then he walked off. As a customer, I was utterly disturbed with his attitude. A gentle "I'm sorry, we have others coming in already" would have been fine with me. Later on that night, the same waiter came over to shift our utensils for a dish that he thought was supposed to be ours. However, it turns out that the platter was for the table beside ours. Again, no apology whatsoever. For the price I'm paying for this restaurant, I felt like the service is way under par and was treated with disrespect. The view was excellent and I did not mind the food though. read more
