| - A trip to toronto isn't complete without a visit to the CN tower. It's more worth it to dine here than to just go up for the view. I made reservations on the day of my visit. It was pretty easy but probably because it was a weekday. They're not strict with the timing because we were 30 minutes late for our reservations and they still let us up. For the experience I would give it 4 stars, for the food I would give it 2, hence the 2 star review. Why? First of all, their service is really slow, my mom ordered coffee and it never came so she asked the servers about 3 - 4 times. Second, the food is really mediocre, but I guess people come for the 360 view right? Third, I ordered the fixe price meal and didn't want dessert but they refused to let me substitute it or even change the sides in my entree. I admit this place is kind of a tourist trap. They insist on ordering the fix price as a mandatory requirement to dine here but in actuality you could just order any entree. If I had known, I wouldn't have blown on my money on food I didn't want or like. A few tips, the restaurant may be moving slowly to circulate the whole city but after 2ish courses you should've gone through a whole circle.
If you do plan on coming here, the dishes I recommend are the mango sorbet and lamb entree. The mussels appetizer tasted " sea" ish and there were barely any mussels, a lot of empty shells. You might think it's funny that I'm recommending the mango sorbet when I didn't want dessert in the first place. After the server said I wasn't allowed to replace any of it. He recommended the mango sorbet and I admit it was pretty good, it tasted like real mangos.
