| - Since we were planning on going up the CN tower anyways, we decided to take others suggestion to bypass the lines & get lunch at the CN tower which enabled us to go to the observation deck and glass floor (which is just a tiny section) level. We had made reservations and requested the seats right next to the window knowing that the restaurant layout was so that there are actually three rings that circle away from the windows. However, when we finally got to the restaurant about 15 before our reservations, we were told that that the window seats would not be available until 45 min later so they invited us to go check out the observatory level first.
Little did I know at that point, I should have just left because the food was absolutely not worth waiting for. Even though it was fun to be in a rotating restaurant and the views were nice that afternoon, the novelty wore off as I became more fixated on the food. Each course was an utter disappointment. We opted for the 3-course pre-fixe for ~$65 per person.
There were lots to choose from, and we tried the (hairy) duck platter three ways; (cold) arctic char; and duck sausage; chocolate lava (glacier) cake. The duck appetizer itself was quite delicious if you I ignore the hair on the platter. I loved the duck pate, and the 3 pieces of tiny toasted bread. I went ahead and ordered the cod even though other reviewers had mentioned theirs had been super DRY and SALTY as if it was nuked in the microwave thinking that it could have been an anomaly. However, mine was also super dry and salty as well that I simply could not finish the two pieces of cod. It was definitely a major waste of food. Even though I wanted to tell our server, but she was nowhere to be found during our entree portion and then the busboys ended up taking it away. When I left I noticed a lot of food was put under a heat lamp, perhaps that is why the fish always taste so awfully overcooked?
The duck sausage was fine. The chocolate lava cake was not hot at all, and as others mentioned, it might as well been named as a glacier cake in the menu. There was this weird glob of cream on the top of it that made the cake look not delectable. But who can say no to the chocolate portion?
Overall, pretty disappointing experience and I would suggest to others who are thinking of dining, is it worth $200~for a 60 hour novelty of being in a rotating restaurant or is the quality of the food more important? Hopefully 360 one day does improve the execution and quality of its food, because it's such a waste of experience to have a terrible meal in such a nice environment overlooking Toronto.
