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.
