| - This was our first trip to Calgary and decided we would arrive right in time for lunch. Why not go to the tower, since we ate at the Space Needle and had a ball. We arrived right at 1:30 for our reservation and they sent us up with no delay. We got a perfect window seat. The waiter came over right away and took drink orders. I wanted just water with lemon, he asked if a carafe was fine? Sure. More on this later.
We were doing the $23 lunch special, you get a entree and starter of soup or salad. you save $3 doing this. You can add dessert for $6. I start with a salad, it was fresh and had a good vinaigrette on it. Husband went with the curried carrot soup, which was tasty and a pretty large bowl of it. I had ordered fries with the burger, but when it came out, he brought another salad. When I flagged him down, he said, 'oh, you changed your mind'. No, I think he changed his mind when placing the order.
He took the plate with the salad and about ten minutes later, a huge bowl of fries comes out. All is good, once again. I am on my second carafe of water, since I am sharing with my husband, who is having tea, as well. As a note, I never got the lemon, my husband got lemon with his tea and the waiter jokingly says, maybe he will share his lemon with you. I laughed not realizing I would never see my little piece of citrus.
I think the burger is good, my husband, left half of his, saying it just started tasting heavy and greasy. I have a high tolerance for this, so not surprised, I powered through. Then we order dessert, as we are enjoying a great view. My husband ordered the lemon cake, which was light and very good. I ordered the rocky road brownie with gelato. I asked if it had walnuts and if so, could we please leave them off, as I have a slight walnut allergy. He said there is no way possible, they are baked in. Fine, I will power through for the sake of chocolate.
It shows up with a million walnuts on top. There were not that many baked in, but four million on top. I executed my walnut flinging skills, and I was fine with the little that were in the brownie.
The bill comes and the carafes of water were $2 each. I paid more for water than my husband did for tea. I have never been charged for water, but chalked it up as Calgary Tower fun tax. Then the desserts were billed out at $9 and $8 each. The lunch final bill was $76. This was more than we paid for dinners at the Space Needle.
At least the price of the admission to get to the top was included in that. The glass floor is worth going up. It is just a small portion on one side. I thought I was going to just walk right on to it, but no, I was like most people who froze right at the edge, as their significant others stood coaxing them onto the clear plexiglass of death.
