My husband and I have visited the revolving restaurant many years ago. This summer I was fortunate to win a gift certificate on Twitter.
We had the most enjoyable experience.
We planned the evening so that we would be dining at dusk. Arrived at the Calgary Tower early and spent some time on the observation deck before taking our table for dinner.
Appetizers were amazing. Ceasar Salad has so much flavour and the portion was larger than I expected.
My husband ordered the Meat Platter appetizer. Pricey, but worth every penny. Assortment of meats with bread & cheese, and serveral mustards. Would order again!
My husband opted for the steak, he likes it rare and it came perfectly prepared. I decided on the lamb - which proved to be the perfect choice. Cooked to perfection, I have trouble describing in words how delicious it was. Again, both entres were larger portions than we expected.
For dessert, we decided on the homemade Sorbet - again the perfect choice. The trio of flavours were the perfect end to a wonderful meal.
We stayed for approximately 2 rotations. We were in on the Observation Deck during full daylight, then for the first rotation it was beginning to get dark, but still light enough to see a great distance. By the time the 2nd rotation started, it was fully dark and we enjoyed the lights.
There is really not a bad table - each has a direct view. Service was excellant. With the order of an entree, the cost of ascending the tower is waived. Lots of parking in parkades close to the Tower.
Most surprising fact of the evening - how large the portions of food were. We will definitely return.
