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.
