| - A 627 foot tower in a rotating restaurant is a fine place for a great meal. Sky 360 is supposedly the best restaurant in Calgary, so that necessitated trying it.
I started with the Tuna 2 ways, an appetizer with tuna tartare and tuna ceviche. The ceviche had just the right level of spice to it. Of course, after eating at Isohamma in NYC, I found myself wishing I had some doritos chips to scoop up the tartare.
For the entree I had the pork loin and duck. What a great combination, and both were perfectly prepared and very juicy!
Now, let me just stop here to dock Sky 360 -2 stars. There were only 2 local wines, a riesling and a meritage, available by the glass. And they were out of both of them. I can get a nice bordeaux anywhere in NYC, so I like to try local wines when I travel to other places and this was quite a disappointment. If you're going to bill yourself as the finest restaurant in Calgary you can't be having supply chain issues with local wine! If you're running low, at least replace it with something similar until you can get your normal stock back in.
However, they earn +1 star back for the delightful chocolate sampler dessert. 2 chocolate truffles, flourless chocolate cake, and a chocolate mousse were the perfect dénouement for my last meal in Calgary.
If you're a foodie you definitely need to come check this place out while you're in town.
