| - Canada Day was my third anniversary with my boyfriend, so we reserved a table like half a year in advance (crazy I know--what if we split up? nah!) We used OpenTable to reserve the place, and got lots of notifications before the day of. It was pretty nice that they wouldn't notify me until the date got much closer, and they wanted to make sure that I remembered it.
As we went towards the restaurant, we were asked if we wanted to take a picture. We complied and they told us that we would be able to see this online if we wanted to purchase it or something. Since it was a special day, why not?!
We took the elevator up with a bunch of other people. There were other couples, as well as some families. Everyone else seemed to be really rushed to get in front of each other. I didn't really mind, so I ended up entering the elevator after everyone else. Being in an elevator with loud families squawking at the city view feels a little weird. Since I was the last to enter the elevator, I happened to also be the first to exit the elevator and to enter the restaurant.
When we got to the restaurant, we were literally a large crowd waiting for us to be seated. There was a mom who kept urging her 6-year-old to get ahead of me and get a waiter's attention. I thought that was a bit rude, but I let her anyway... maybe they were in a rush to eat? Dunno. Either way, the waiter decided to seat me first. Not really sure why. Maybe he liked how my boyfriend and I dressed patriotically (he happened to wear a white dress shirt and I wore a red dress on Canada Day).
We were seated at the window, giving us a beautiful view of the city as we slowly rotated around. I had the lobster lasagna (enjoyed the clams, not the shrimp so much) and my boyfriend had the AAA Alberta steak (pretty good!). We also shared a clam chowder and enjoyed some Riesling. It was a bit pricey, but I really enjoyed the whole experience. The waiter was very accommodating and came to check on us at all the right times.
Towards the end of the dinner, a person from the photo-taking place earlier came by and showed us the picture we took. He asked us if we'd like to purchase it...and we did. It was a picture of us in front of the restaurant (green-screened of course). Not cheap, but hey -- it's our anniversary. This was very good timing, and I'm not sure if this was planned or anything. We were about to pay for our dinner, and we were clearly happy.
They told us that we could check out other areas of the CN Tower since we ordered an entree each. We totally took advantage of that and basked in the flashing red and white lights. Lovely experience!
