Very average restaurant and awfully expensive. We dined here because dinning here don't need to pay for the tickets and we needed to go somewhere for dinner during the time, and we thought it would be worth it. Turns out the dishes were very average and not worth the price at all. We ordered French onion soup, scallops for appetizers and stripe loin for the main. The onion soup was too salty, the scallops were too dry and way over cooked; the seasoning on the beef was uneven, so one part was salty and other parts tasted quite bland; the sauce came with the beef was also salty. Also I suggest the restaurant to put a sign to inform people that the restaurant rotates, so people with motion sickness can be aware of in and be prepared. I myself had motion sickness and didn't know about it until I went up there, the whole time was quite unpleasant for me. read more

Took my children there for their birthdays. Our appetizers came before our drinks and we had to search for our waiter to get utensils to begin our appetizers that were cold by the time our utensils came. Our mains once again came before our drinks and we were almost done when my glass of wine finally arrived. Our waiter never checked in once to see how our food was and barely even acknowledged our table. For a "Fine Dining" restaurant the service was extremely disappointing. read more

The Calgary tower is one of the most unique dining experiences in Alberta. A revolving restaurant with a view that is changing constantly. Make no mistake if you are dining here it is for its unique view/ambience before the food. Naturally you pay accordingly for this experience. That being said the service and food are good. Expect $$$ food, $$ service and pay $$$$ price for your dinner + view. What I ordered: Steak- 8.9 (Mash potatoes- 10) Charcuterie- 7.5 Cheese board - 8 Beef Tartar- 9 Views- 10 (The best view in Calgary) Value- 8 If dinner is too pricey I would highly recommend going there for lunch. The prices are much more reasonable and an amazing deal as you get a free ride up and access to the observation deck. Definitely worth trying at least once! Yes the rating is poor ... but I would take the chance for a unique dining experience in the sky and temper my expectations. Not ideal but it's up to each person on what they value in their dining expectations. read more

Doing the tourist thing and having lunch at Calgary Tower. Great view of the city. Ordered spinach and kale salad and roasted beet salads to start and bouillabaisse and stuffed chicken breast mains. The food was all fresh and tasty and absolutely beautifully presented. Service was friendly and attentive and Bobby was friendly and helpful. And the view - amazing way to see Calgary in an hour! This place is underrated on Yelp IMHO as a result of super picky reviewers who have down rated this place for reasons completely unrelated to the food or the venue. read more

This was actually a really great experience! Now, the Calgary Tower is certainly in need of some attention. The elevator wasn't working very well and the walls and paint need some updating. But this review is for the restaurant. Our party of five arrived for lunch. If you're wanting to get the most for your money, the restaurant will cover the price of a Calgary Tower ticket of $18. Most lunch prices range from $24 to $38. So you're getting a good deal if you want to go up and see the sights of Calgary. The view was absolutely beautiful and really what can be better than a revolving restaurant on a beautiful sunny day? We started with cocktails. We ordered a peach mojito, a regular mojito, a Moscow mule, a gin martini and something else that my brother said was awesome. Actually all of the cocktails were fabulous. Even though they were basic they were made really well. In fact, I think my martini was one of the best I've had! I started with a Romaine salad that had a light lemony vinaigrette, lardons, parmesan and fried chickpeas. It was quite lovely! Two of our party ordered a daily lunch special that could be ready within 45 minutes. We weren't in a rush but it was only $38 for a starter of soup or salad, an entree of a chicken sandwich, burger or gnocchi, gelato for dessert and coffee or tea. One got the burger and the other got the chicken sandwich and they both said it was really great. Myself and another friend got the bacon and egg tagliatelle which had leeks, mushrooms, lardons and peas in a light cream sauce. On top was a shaved cured egg which was so good and added this wonderful saltiness to every bite. Another friend got the burger with short rib on it and she said it was really great as well. All in all we loved our meals and cocktails. The service was attentive and our server was so sweet. There weren't many in the restaurant so we practically had the place to ourselves! Dinner menu looks much more expensive but I would come back and try their steaks for sure. The service was attentive and the server was really sweet. read more

I left here at 7:45 pm today and it's taken me until now to calm down enough to write a review of this place. I'm from California and planed this trip to Calgary and dinner at 360 was to be our highlight meal of our trip! I've never been more disappointed in a restaurant as I was tonight. We were a party of three. Order two glasses of wine. Both were served with gnats in them! Both! Clearly there is a cleanliness issue within the bar area or in close proximity for each glass ($12.50 Malbec) to contain a gnat! It took more than 10 minutes to flag down our server Courtney to rectify the problem. I asked that the next glasses be poured table side from a new bottle. Well, this evening got worse from there.... ordering was not an issue, as we had reviewed the menu a week prior and came in knowing what we were going to order. Be prepared to never be offered bread with a $10+ salad as a starter and if you do ask, it's a charming $3 upcharge for three stale grilled pieces of day old bread! I ordered a $50+ steak and I'm paying $1.00 a piece for bread! Try to figure that one out! So our salads finally arrive and my grilled Caesar was lacking dressing. No quality check was done after our first bites so I couldn't ask for more dressing until I had only about five bites left anyways. Oh, the dressing arrived, but I ate the dry salad prior. So my Rib Eye steak arrives (ordered Medium rare, to the rare side-specifically ordered that way) with all vegetables. I had requested NO MASH at all. The entrees are dropped off, literally dropped off and I cut into my rib eye. First of all cooked Medium-medium well and so much grissel I couldn't get the provided "steak knife" through it. I tried again and again to get a "bite" of beef without grissel. Ya I'll eat a rib eye with day but not grissel, no! Not here, not for the price they are charging! Finally Courtney swings by, but I had already given up on trying to cut a piece of steak and she sees my plate pushed away from me and STILL ASKS "How is everything". Well, I had to explain my situation. She grabs my plate (the one without mashed potatoes) and vanishes to the kitchen somewhere. She comes back a few minutes later, my plate still in hand, and wants to educate me on Rib Eye steaks and their fat content. Um, Courtney, I'm aware! But this was a butchering issue to include the grissle in the Rib Eye cut. I'd eat rib eye fat all day, but this? This wasn't quality beef! She held my plate as if she was waiting for me to tell her "ok I'll eat it anyways". Then tells me "well if you want another steak it will be 20 minutes" ok let me get this straight....a medium rare to the rare side steak is 20 minutes? Are you cooking it over candlelight? Do you think I'm stupid? Are you trying to get me to just eat this overpriced steak anyways? She leaves again, after I told her I would prefer a new steak and that, even though my fellow diners have two bites left, I was willing to wait. Courtney is gone, comes back a few to ten minutes later to tell me the "chef"(I will use this term lightly) suggests the strip steak. Claims is more tender and less "grissley " than the rib eye. I decide, let's do that. In about 5-8 minutes (that was fast) a BURNT ON THE OUTSIDE, raw on the inside, Strip steak comes out on a huge plate of mashed potatoes! This couldn't have been communicated to the "chef"? I specifically asked for ZERO mash on my plate!Anyways, I asked the red tie guy whom I only assumed was either a food runner to replace my steak without mash. He comes back and drops my plate off a vanishes. I cut into the steak. Not only is it burnt, it has a huge grissel streak on one half but it's also RAW! Not medium rare to the rare side, but raw. So now I haven't one bite of steak in my mouth! In over an hour. My fellow diners are now offering me bites of their dinner and guess what? Not one sign of Courtney anywhere. She finally strolls but and asks how my steak was. Well Courtney it's across the table from me and I've not had a bite. She walks away and it takes me another 10 minutes to flag down a hostess to find me a manager. I am now explaining what's happened and he just grabs my plate and wanders off. Courtney never returns. This Nick manager guy drops our check, after offering to get me something else, to which I decline because clearly I would be eating alone since my other guests were long done, and says and I quote "Ive gone ahead and took your steak off the check" to which I reply "I didn't have a steak" This manager did absolutely nothing to rectify this situation other than have a uninterested attitude that I hadn't had dinner, that the steaks were horrible or that I'm unhappy. Just cold, robotic and "who cares" attitude. I once again shared with him my dissatisfaction but all he was at our table to do was to run our credit cards. He walks away, but quickly returns with the general managers business card and says "here, you can call my boss is you want to". read more

NO STARS! We arrived at 7:00p.m. for our 7:30 reservation (booked over a month before arriving in Calgary). First, we were told that the restaurant is very busy so we had to wait until 7:30 for our table - fine - we were early... (no chairs or anything to sit on and wait)... BUT, parties with a reservation at 7:45 were ushered into the elevator immediately! What?! Ok, again - fine - we'll wait. At 7:30, the hostess says that we are to go to the elevators as our table is ready. Off we go! We get to the restaurant level and showed our table. It was literally a make shift table the size of a dinner tray in an awkward spot next to a server station! The only views we had would be to look over the people eating next to us! No thanks. I asked to speak with the manager and WTH! The manager (Nasir (sp?)) was the biggest prick about it! He indicates that they do not guarantee tables. I requested an EMPTY TABLE by the window and he says "that is a table for a party of 4, not 2"!!! Meanwhile, right next to that exact table is a party of 2!! I told him I was not satisfied with this makeshift table and he says "fine, I'll cancel your reservation and charge you the cancellation fee!" WTAF?! Sky360?? Calgary?? Wow. Absolutely shocked at how a "manager" handled that!! Guess what? We left disappointed and on a mission to let everyone know how terrible we were treated! Shitty feeling all around and will NEVER return there. Oh, and guess what, we went to Ruth's Criss (2nd floor) for dinner without a reservation, and busy also, and were treated like royalty! We were sure to let EVERYONE at our hotel, at the zoo line up, and everyone we encountered know about how we were treated at Sky360! read more

We came to Sky360 for a business meal. Spent over $600 on food and drink to only be asked 1 minute after paying they would be needing our table and we would have to leave. There was still wine in our glasses and water left to drink. Manager had no alternatives for us on where to sit and sat cross armed behind us until we had a break from the conversation to tell us we had to go. I would not bring anyone for a special date if you plan on having great conversation after your meal. The Keg gives you more meat on your plate without it needing to be slathered in garlic butter. 1 Star for a bad experience Would say 2.5 on the food. read more

The rating is mostly for the experience. It was a good experience overall. Got to see good views of downtown Calgary. I honestly ate here because I thought it would be a good deal. If you buy an entre then they cover the $18 ascension price. However, on hindsight I wish I had just paid the $18 and eaten somewhere else. Like I said it was a good experience overall. I also actually enjoyed the appetizers. I got the scallop and pork belly, and steamed muscles. They were very good. My meal however was not so good. Actually the general consensus at my table was that all of our meals were not it. The entree's all consisted of a protein, some starch and then they added a bunch of assorted peppers to fill the plate. Not to mention my fish was really bland. I guess being in the air sort of masked the subpar meal. Nonetheless, the overall experience was nice. Just don't expect the most spectacular dining experience. read more

Our family celebrated a special occasion here. The revolving restaurant gave us a really nice view of the city and the food was enjoyable as well. I would say the food was decent here, much better than what I expected for sure. They were well executed, flavourful, nicely presented and had good portion sizes.we got the chicken breast, the seafood risotto and the salmon. Would recommend them all. The server was way too talkative though, like, I have no interest in his personal life, but he kept on talking about himself. It was a celebration of OUR family occasion, we wanted to savour OUR moments, not his. Other than that, no complaints. read more

I had gone in to specifically try the new summer menu from Chef Schafer. Let's start with the atmostphere. Sky360, literally the tallest restaurant in the city being 510 feet above the ground, is easily one of the best views of pretty much the entire city. As a breathtaking view, or just a panoramic vantage point, it's easily one of the best places in town for a different perspective on things. Colin, my server, was quite attentive, despite my inability to choose between the 2 recommended dishes. Seeing a smudge on my knife, he immediately dispatched it and went to grab another. He was charming, informative and friendly. As for the food, Chef Schafer did not disappoint. The experimental black sesame crusted halibut cheek was well balanced by the sweet mixed fruit salad that accompanied it. The Veal tenderloin was exactly that... tender. Served on a bed of enoki mushrooms and a side of goat cheese and potato perogies, it was by far an excellent dish to savour while enjoy the sights as the restaurant slowly spun. And the chocolate torte with the crushed honeycomb was the perfect end to the meal. Not too sweet, yet accentuated by the honeycomb, it was a joy to slowly devour again to the beautiful scenery. Excellent meal all around. read more

Sky 360 is a revolving restaurant at the top of Calgary Tower. I've been to restaurants on top of tall buildings before, but this was a little different because Calgary Tower is not an office building; it's literally just a concrete tower with an elevator inside. People who come to the tower can pay one "elevation fee" just to go up to the observation deck, or if they eat at the restaurant they can go up for free. We made reservations over the phone on a Wednesday morning for a late lunch that afternoon. No problem, we were told, as long as we ordered an entree the price for going up to the top of the tower would be waived. We mentioned our reservation at the door on the ground floor, and they let us go on up (I suppose we could have gone up for free and then not eaten at the restaurant, but apparently Canadians operate on the honor system.) In the lobby there were pictures of the tower under construction. Inside the elevator there are only three buttons to push: ground floor, restaurant, or observation deck. Of course, the beauty of a revolving restaurant is that you get equally lovely views from every table. The food itself was high quality. I chose to order the fettucini with game meatballs; I wasn't quite sure what "game" referred to, but I figured if I didn't care for the meatballs, I would still have the fettucini. As it turned out, the meatballs tasted just like any other meatball. My favorite part of the dish was the chunks of different kinds of mushrooms added to the pasta. The dessert I chose was labeled as "peach cheesecake", but in fact it was a small piece of regular cheesecake, laid on top of peach puree. It also included lavender rosettes, which were very floral. I almost felt that I could smell them more than I could taste them. The meal was a little pricey, but it's clearly not the kind of experience you have every day. Well worth the price, in my opinion. read more

For Big Taste, it's totally worth it to come up for lunch. Even if Big Taste wasn't going on, this place is a must visit. Why? THE VIEW! Normally Calgary Tower charges you $18 dollars for the pleasure of the view on the observatory deck. Well, go for lunch or dinner, and you get to check out the view for free. For the Big Taste lunch, you can pick from potato leek soup or a mixed green salad, a burger, fettucine, or a blackened chicken sandwich and gelato. The chicken sandwich was filling, a generous amount of white chicken breast, juicy thick slices of tomatoes, lettuce and a spicy aioli. Fries were okay. If I didn't have to work, I would have loved to have ordered a glass of prosecco or wine. This is a place to linger and enjoy yourself. I felt like I was in an old black and white movie, so retro. I would go again for lunch. Dinner is pricier, so the lunch option is better value. FYI, if you get dizzy easily, take gravel before you go up. It gets a little spinish up there as you rotate around. read more

Although the service was good; the food was really, really bad. We live in Calgary and have frequented Sky360 in the past; however, the current Chef should be fired. Boasting a 'Chef-Inspired' cuisine, it was terrible. We started with the fondue appetizer. The cheese/truffle fondue had no taste at all; if I was blindfolded, i would never have recognized it. Our first clue should have been that it came with french-fries rather that bread and/or vegetables. We told the waiter it was not good, but there was no follow-up. For dinner I ordered the lamb and my husband ordered the trout. We sent both meals back (something we have never done at any restaurant). The lamb was greasy and basted in its own lamb fat. The trout was unrecognizable and not fully cooked. We settled on sharing the duck; again not food worthy; not cooked properly and very tough. As it was our 32nd wedding anniversary, we thought we'd try a couple of desserts .... bad idea! The Chocolate Spoon was served cold and was an over-cooked (i.e. hard as a rock), chocolate cookie in a skillet. The other dessert was a Milk Tart which was tasteless. The Matra d', who was walking around, never even made eye contact, let alone some to talk with us. When our Waiter, who was doing his very best and was great, presented our bill, he said he said he'd gotten 'permission' to not charge us for the main courses we sent back (which was what we'd expected to happen) and charged us for all that we'd tasted, but not consumed as it was so bad. The tab was $200+ (which consisted of one appetizer, one entree, two desserts and cocktails. I'd recommend you pass on going to Sky360 and head to Arby's or your favorite fast-food restaurant (which would be a much better food experience). We travel a lot and have eaten some 'interesting' foods, but have never had an experience like this. read more

First time coming here, thanks to my partner for bringing me here for my birthday :) This restaurant is unique as it is on top of the Calgary Tower - spectacular panorama night view as the restaurant rotates 360 degrees around. There's free entrance to the observation deck for those who dine on top. It was pretty cool - standing on a thick glass floor. But as for the view --- it was the same as in the restaurant, so we didn't dwell there for that long and headed up to dine instead. I got the Lois Lake Steelhead Trout ($35) - food was decent but not delicious. I think people tend to come here for its dining experience rather than the food quality. We chose a chocolate option for dessert after dinner. It was okay, I would probably try something else next time though, the presentation could be a little better too. The staff provided good service as well - but because the restaurant is in a circle, sometimes it can be hard locating a staff member haha. Overall, my partner and I had a romantic and fun night here. We enjoyed the 360 view as we dined at a table right next to the windows. read more

My family and I went to celebrate my daughter a birthday but we were shock with the food we order. it was terrible the salmon with gnocchi was so bad that I did not eat it, the salad too salty. the steak that dad eat full of fat inside not week cook. the pasta the girls eat was far from delicious. I am in shock like if the chef did this intentionally, not personal, but I am wondering if it was his last they in the job and he or she did not care at all! it was very sad since it was our first time there and we wanted to celebrate our daughter with a super special place and good food. very sad! read more

Yummy! What a nice surprise! * We ended up here after our insurance appointment in the same Radisson building which connects to the Calgary Tower. Was walking past at 11am and realized that we have lived in Calgary for 3 years and never been. So in our hoodies and jeans we ventured up Upon entering the admission, the girls working told us about the afternoon special - instead of paying $16 admission to the tower, you can buy a menu iteam and the restaurant pays your admission. They show you the menu before deciding and there was a veggie burger for $16 - needless to day we were in! So we take the 80 second (too cool!) elevator ride up to the restuarant where we are greeted by the hostess who sits us at a comphy window seat - When we started we were in view of the bow building - when we finished we were just behind the bow! too cool We ordered right away, as we were more excited to get up to the tower. Our plates came out right away - the veggie burger was so good! But a little huge- but otherwise so good. So moist and yummy. It comes with housemade garlic mayo and feta cheese. So so so so so good. Best Veggie burger that ive had in Calgary hands down! read more

Sky 360 - Dining Room! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

A 627 foot tower in a rotating restaurant is a fine place for a great meal. Sky 360 is supposedly the best restaurant in Calgary, so that necessitated trying it. I started with the Tuna 2 ways, an appetizer with tuna tartare and tuna ceviche. The ceviche had just the right level of spice to it. Of course, after eating at Isohamma in NYC, I found myself wishing I had some doritos chips to scoop up the tartare. For the entree I had the pork loin and duck. What a great combination, and both were perfectly prepared and very juicy! Now, let me just stop here to dock Sky 360 -2 stars. There were only 2 local wines, a riesling and a meritage, available by the glass. And they were out of both of them. I can get a nice bordeaux anywhere in NYC, so I like to try local wines when I travel to other places and this was quite a disappointment. If you're going to bill yourself as the finest restaurant in Calgary you can't be having supply chain issues with local wine! If you're running low, at least replace it with something similar until you can get your normal stock back in. However, they earn +1 star back for the delightful chocolate sampler dessert. 2 chocolate truffles, flourless chocolate cake, and a chocolate mousse were the perfect dénouement for my last meal in Calgary. If you're a foodie you definitely need to come check this place out while you're in town. read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! I had an incredibly memorable experience when I had the pleasure of going to Sky 360. It was a combination of the food, the service, and the general experience that made this restaurant trip so unique. I've never been a fan of calamari, but these guys made some that I could tolerate eating; I ate almost a whole appetizer of this stuff! It came highly recommended by the waiter, and we were glad we listened. I ordered a spinach and goat cheese penne which was absolutely to die for. Giant bulbs of garlic and a lot of pine nuts made it what it was... delicious! I've never experience such a pleasant, knowledgeable waiter as the one we had at Sky 360. He was able to fully recite the menu, which was newly instated, and every little taste of the different dishes. I was floored by how yummy he made everything seem, and that he could tell me so much about each dish. It was extremely refreshing to see a waiter that actually seemed passionate about what the chefs were serving. He was able to joke with us, yet seem professional. A great waiter by my standards! The experience. WOW! What can I say about eating in a restaurant that not only has a beautiful view, but has a view of the entire city. It makes about one full rotation every hour, so you won't miss a peep of the gorgeous city that stretches so far. The best time to visit would be dusk so that you can get a lovely sunset over the mountains. It was phenomenal to be able to experience that while enjoying a meal. Sky 360 is an incredibly classy place, which explains the somewhat pricey items. It's totally understandable to go here because the experience alone is worth the cost. What a magical place! And I know I sound ridiculous when I say that, but it's true! Absolute magic. read more

Really great view while consuming food and drink. I came in for lunch as I was in a conference down the road. I had eaten at the steakhouse at the base and was pleased with that experience. I was told to the $18 fee to get to the top was included in the dining experience. I went in and was followed by others from the conference. We all got in line to talk to the chick behind the counter. I made my res for 1 and was told I could order from the entree list and price of the lift would be included. False. All items on the menu includes the fee for the lift. I could have just ordered a salad if I wanted to. Shame shame. I already did a menu perusal beforehand and wanted the grilled cheese with wagyu beef, only because I read it in a manga and wanted to try wagyu. Thinly shaved, grilled with red onions and cheese, and a side of cranberry ground mustard made this a perfect lunch. I ordered a syrah from some town in Canada. I can't remember the name, but it was good. The service was nice, she was a real sweet girl. I went up to the observation deck after lunch and found it not worth it since it doesn't spin and doesn't have as much window space as the restaurant. Odd. Restaurant at 510' and 525' at the deck. read more

I can easily explain this. Sadly... the initial tone of the restaurant is hard to come back from. We had a lovely meal. Standard issue. We have been here for many many occasions. Big birthdays or special events- The Tower has always been our on our hit list. Not cause its the best but cause there is something special about the ambiance. However today may have sadly changed the course for our family. We arrived tonight for my mother's 70th birthday. Initially we thought my 9 year old would be at a dance event but that changed and our party of 5 became 6. No big deal you would think. Especially when adding a 9 year old to a table that already had a 5 year old. Well sadly.... not sure what kind of training the hostess had but she was rude. She made it like it was a big deal. She went on that she would have to change our reservation - it was for 6:00 and it was 5:55 at this point - to 6:15 or 6:30. And then she went on about there would be a 18%gratuity added to the bill no matter what. Ok so no big deal on the grat but c'mon - you can probably say it a different way but adding one 9 year old to a family table you have to make a big deal about the time and changing it etc. My parents stood there embarrassed. It was (as i mentioned) a special birthday. 70!!! And here this millennial with her long finger nail points at us at that we can go up but we'll have to wait. . .. prob 15 mins at least for them to get us a table. From that description you are thinking - WOW THE TOWER is HOPPIN TONIGHT. omg. Hard to squeeze in a 9 year old. mother ship what have we gotten ourselves into. Sounds like a rave.... So. We go up. Im fuming. We arrive at coat check at little Ms B is clearly on the phone with the hostess here cause you could tell by her cool nature she expected us to be a pain in the ass. Yah. We are a pain all right. Typical husband. Wife. 9 year old. 5 year old and gramma and grandpa ... typical nightmare. . . So the hostess... 'how are we tnight'. Hopefully better soon I say. Oh why. She said all surprisingly. I said well the girl downstairs seemed to have an issue adding a child to the reservation. She starts to say something but really what excuse can she and she sort of stops and says .. well i have a great table for you. So thats how what was suppose to he a lovely evening at the Tower started. Hard to come back from such Rudeness. So we walk to our table. You are expecting a mosh pit right cause you cant squeeze in a 9 year old. Tables everywhere. Empty. There was a couple next to us. Then 2 free tables. Then a couple. Then about 5 free tables. It is after all 6:00 ( and she thankfully didn't make us wait to 6:15). We did sat. And we all tried to shake it off. Ordered a bottle of wine. And some appys. I had the fish special -Arctic Char and it was nice. Not overly flavourful and on a huge bed of quinoa but made for a nice meal. Kids meals don't include a drink or dessert which i always find funny yet for a special occasion Im ok with the $4.25 Shirley Temple and the $6 ice cream on top of the $10 butter pasta. (If you are following along we just paid $20 for our 5 year old to eat) And honestly. None of that bothers me. Our waiter was lovely. And the bill was just shy of $400 for the 6 of us. It was that girl at the beginning that made a big deal and embarrassed us all. Went on about the grat (further embarrassed my parents that felt this was kinda pricey) and made it like i messed up when plans change. So. Sadly. For that kind of money-Im happy to have the ambiance somewhere else where we feel appreciated. We wont be back. read more

Wife, kid, and I had finally arrived in Calgary after making our way across BC, and camping in the parks. Despite roughing it, it seemed to us that Canada's high prices had been bleeding us dry. Thus, when I read that we could eat in the Tower and not have to pay to elevate, I was psyched! We made our lunch reservation at the base of the Tower for one half hour later. In the intervening 30 minutes we were able to zip up there and enjoy the view, which is fantastic. The time passed quickly, and was a great way to kill time. We were immediately seated when we reported to the restaurant, and we noticed just as quickly that the establishment was in motion. Like some other iconic tower joints (Space Needle), the Calgary Tower revolves for your viewing pleasure. This was very cool as we were new to the area, and it allowed us to profoundly take in the whole 360* while leisurely seated. Wife and I ordered local ales, and the kid ordered a local root beer. These were served, we ordered food, and then things slowed down. We were hungry, so the 30 minutes that we awaited our food was just short of agonizing, despite the view. This wait time is the reason I'm giving the place four, not five, stars. Fortunately, in contradiction to some of the reviews here, the food was excellent. My Alberta burger was nicely-cooked, with a tasty char, yellow tomato, pickled scallions, and some kind of mayo-sauce. I got the greens on the side, and they were fresh and well-dressed. Wife got the grilled cheese with Wagyu shavings. I wish I had gotten that, because it ruled. She also loved it. Kid got the NY steak and fries from the kid's menu. That was $14, but it was a steak (6 oz), and she liked it. She ordered it medium well, and it was. Regarding prices, if you are going up in the Tower anyway and need to eat, then this might be the best bargain in town. Certainly, after doing the math this is NOT a $$$$ restaurant. If the menu prices stood alone, then it might be a $$$ restaurant. If you haven't been up before, then you should go. read more

This is likely the worst place I have ever dined for the price paid. The service was atrocious and their attitude towards good paying customers was despicable. They have an imposed rule that you need to spend 35 dollars, per person, BEFORE wine or drinks. As a female that's a hard mark to meet sometimes. My girlfriend more than met the "quota" once wine was factored in but they wouldn't budge on her having MORE THAN HER two appetizers, she needed to spend $5.00 more dollars, or else. Who treats ladies out for dinner this way? The food was pretty delicious when we got that figured out, but definitely left a sour taste in our mouths. The decor is very dated and the rotation spins a little too quickly for anyone who has motion sickness issues. read more

Amazing views! Eat here for an hour (takes about 1 hr 10 mins for it to turn all the way around and show you the whole city) and you won't even need to pay for an observation deck admission. Our server, Adam, was absolutely fantastic - he was very professional, accommodating, and attentive to our needs. I'm convinced this is among the best places to eat in Calgary. Sky burgers were very good but the highlight of the night for me was the Butterscotch Crème brulée - it is phenomenal. This place is beyond 100% worth visiting. read more

The food was relatively good, I had the braised chicken leg with some assorted veggies and potatoes. It was alright. The chicken was tender and juicy in some areas then dry in others. My friends both had the confit chicken sandwich which was alright too. The four stars are mainly because of the great view and the waitress was still very nice even though we came in close to the closing lunch time! read more

Sky 360 - Half eaten braised chicken leg! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I went to the 360 restaurant to try their big taste menu in March. It's worth coming to the restaurant just for the view! The butternut squash soup was a tad bland but it was rich. The lunch burger was thick and tasty. For dessert, I tried the cheesecake. The presentation was excellent. The cake itself was a tad dry. A good dining experience for the reduced price. read more

Dined here over the weekend, thought the change was great. Posh seating, inimate curved booths facing the view, swanky new lighting...love the new look. The menu has changed as well, although the prices has not. Still fairly expensive, but food quality was great. We shared appies, and I got to taste everything. Mussels were really good, calamari was chewy and so tasty! I had the Paella and few bites of everyone else's steaks and risotto, everything was tasty, came while it was hot, and it good portions. Some of us had to pack the rest of our meals to go. Overall very pleased with the food. (The old tower restaurant food was always dissapointing). Service was good, and they certainly tolerated our rowdy intoxicated state.They have a new fun cocktail/cosmo drink list too. read more

Too much hype for what it really is. The views are amazing, especially with sunset or night life, it's great don't get me wrong. The food is subpar, I got a steak that was medium rare and it was more well done then anything. They don't know how to cook steak. I ordered desert and I wish I didn't. So disappointed, wasn't good, very bland. The drinks are okay, okay selection as well. I just wasn't feeling the food, drinks or service when I was here, the view is the only reason why I stayed tbh. It's expensiv for just a view. Enjoy as you please. read more

We ordered the following: Squash Ravioli - good, not bad but I've had better. Mini yorkies - lover and would recommend and order again! Lamb lollipops - loved them! And the pasta served with it was amazing! Lamb shank - amazing! Fall off the bone. Amazing views! Chicken - ok. read more

The ambiance, the phenomenal food, the great view of the city and the wonderful staff makes this place an amazing place for a great meal. While visiting Calgary, my friends took me here and it was the best meal I had the whole trip. The meat was perfectly cooked and the garlic mashed potatoes were to die for, and I don't even like mashed potatoes much. I didn't care for the cabbage but my two friends loved it so that's just a personal preference. Everything was a little pricey, but that is to be expected at a place like that. It was definitely worth every penny. It was a really cool way to see the city, and we went early evening so when we started the sun was up and when we ended, the sun was down and it really added to the ambiance. Our server was very friendly and very knowledgeable and gave me an excellent wine pairing with my dish. She was present without being overbearing. Ultimately, this is a great place to bring someone on an anniversary, though I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to see the city and have a great meal. read more

On a clear day in Calgary, a group of us went to Sky 360 for lunch with our families. First of all, if you want to see the view it is worth it to go and choose an entrée at this restaurant because they wave the viewing fees if you eat there. And actually, for lunch we felt the food was tasty, the portions were plenty (we expected small based on the view), and the atmosphere was excellent. Our hostess to seat us at the table was terrible. We waited a long time to be seated (with reservations) and as our friend said, "I felt like I needed to apologize to her to eating here." Either she is having an awful day, or being a hostess should not be in her cards. Our server was friendly enough though. I had a local beer on tap, which was lovely. My friend had a wine that she was pleased with and everyone else had pop. I noticed that a lot of people did not rate the food as high stars, but for us lunch was very pleasant and everyone enjoyed what they were eating. Two people at the table had the Alberta beef burger - tomato, lettuce, swiss cheese, breaded onion rings, mushroom,Canadian back bacon served with fries. I sampled the burger and the patty had a lot of flavour in it with a lot of things between the buns. The fries were hot and tasty. I had the pan seared salmon - chilli lime, wild rice, lentils, spinach, sprouts. The salmon was well cooked and not too dry, and wild rice/lentils/spinach side was filling without feeling too heavy. My daughter had the radiatori pasta - roasted pepper, plum tomato, fall vegetables. She was surprised, being a teenager, that there was enough to make her full. "I expected 9 pieces of pasta arranged on a plate." My friends had the squash ravioli - braised lamb ragout, cherry tomato and braised kale and the wild rice and lentil bowl - zucchini, tomato, feta, eggplant, sugar peas, sprouts, chili lime vinaigrette. Both enjoyed their dishes but especially expressed happiness to the sauce that the squash ravioli was in. Was it expensive...well yes....24 dollars for a vegetarian pasta is a little high...but considering the atmosphere and the fact you wave the fees going up the tower I think it is well worth it. read more

Had dinner here and it was better than expected. We started with the short rib yorkies and butternut ravioli. Both were good. Followed up with lamb lollipops, lamb shank and chicken stuffed with goat cheese. The lamb dishes were good. However the chicken dry. read more

Came here for my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend, there weren't many people so the atmosphere was nice and quiet, it was snowing out but the view was still magnificent! Especially with all the Christmas lights. I ordered the beef tenderloin and it was delicious, it was very soft and very juicy, I'd definitely recommend it. My boyfriend ordered the veal and he ate it right down to the bone, so I assume it was just as good as my meal. The waiters were very nice and came by regularly to ask us how our meal was and to refill our drinks. We had reservations at 5:30 and came early to go to the observation deck and it was lots of fun! Especially since there were barely any people. We went to the restaurant 10 minutes early and we were seating right away! Only thing I would complain about was the soup that I ordered, and it was quite chilly! Wish I had worn a sweater! read more

Sky 360 - My beef tenderloin. Yum! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Decided to return to try the restaurant at the top of the Calgary tower for our 24th wedding anniversary dinner this past week. I don't think we have been there since the change of ownership to Sky 360 (probably been at least 6 years since we tried this location.) Parking near the restaurant isn't very convenient. If you can't find street parking, the only nearby location is the Palliser Hotel parkade. I hate paying for parking when you are also going to be splashing out for what is (ostensibly) a premium dinner. Let's start with the best feature: The 360° views out the window as you slowly revolve! There can't be a better restaurant vista in all of Calgary, especially on a cold, clear night like we experienced. Drinks were good, but very overpriced, in my opinion. They don't carry premium brands of tonic water for mixing, just Schweps, which is horrible swill to use in a gin and tonic. My steak (ribeye, most expensive entre on the menu at $52) was done absolutely perfectly. (Most restaurants in this city just can't cook a steak rare to save their lives.) This was superb. Garlic mashed potatoes weren't spectacular, if I'm honest. They seemed a bit dry, and it almost tasted like they were not freshly made, maybe just reheated. Which is too bad, because there is nothing better than garlic mash when it is done right. Fall vegetables were nicely done. Given the quality of the food, we didn't bother with dessert. Overall, a somewhat underwhelming dining experience for such an important event. We may try it again, but given the qualify of food, it will likely be another 5 years before I chance it! read more
