| - Was here on Friday, May 23, 2014. My boyfriend and I went for our anniversary. We both had an absolutely wonderful experience. We both got the prix-fixe four course dinner. We were seated right away at a table by the window.
Food:
The amuse bouche was wonderful, grilled pineapple with goat cheese crumble and pistachios. Had a slightly spicy flavour which nicely offset the sweetness. My mouth was very amused!
The appetizer was smoked salmon with cucumber salad and capers which was very nice (even though I don't like capers). Very beautifully presented
The 10oz striploin was cooked to perfectly medium-rare, very flavourful. Came with mashed potatoes and greenbeans which were both very flavourful and cooked well.
The desert was the real show-stopper. Chocolate three ways. My favourite was the chocolate ganache raspberry tart and my boyfriend loved the orange chocolate cannoli but both were absolutely delicious.
Service:
Our waiter was the right amount of attentive, took care of us well without bugging us too often. If anything to complain about was the pace of the courses was a little too quick. A break in between would have been welcome to enjoy the view, company and ambiance.
Ambiance:
Of course the view is amazing. We went at 6pm and got to enjoy the setting sun through dinner. I'm very sensitive to motion but had no problems at all because it rotates so slowly and smoothly.
Overall:
The food was excellent, the experience was lovely. Yeah, no huge portions but that's not why you come here. Yeah, maybe a little pricier than other restaurants but the view and amazing food are definitely worth it. With both our dinners and a glass of wine each (amazing selection btw) and tip, a little over $220 which when you factor in the elevation cost is probably what we would spend at any other nice restaurant. We've decided to make this an annual thing for our anniversary. Take your out of town friends, take your dates, take your nana.
