| - To go up the CN Tower, you can either pay thirty something dollars for the elevator ride OR you can choose to dine at the 360 restaurant (Keep in mind you have to spend a minimum amount for each person since you didn't pay for the lift tickets: i.e. you can't come up for free and just get a small dessert, you got to order a proper meal).
We got the $75 Prix-fixe. This choice is a step up from the first Prix-Fixe option which is $65 per person. The reason we went for the $75 Prix-Fixe was because we just liked the appetizer and main menu options better than the other one. They also serve you a small pre-appetizer dish, which so very small, but delicious nonetheless. We tried the Sesame Albacore Tuna and liked it a lot. For the appetizer, I got the clam chowder and my girlfriend tried the smoked salmon appetizer, both were good. For main, we both got sirloin steak, I got mine medium, and she got hers medium well. The steaks were both seasoned very well and very good , mine was nice , moist and juicy, hers however was a bit on the dry side. After trying my steak she wished she had gotten a medium steak as well!
For dessert we both got the Dark Chocolate Tower with sour cherries. The dessert really wasn't as good as we thought it would be. It was kind of plain, not chocolaty enough , not really as sweet as other dark chocolate cakes we are used to, but someone who likes their dessert less sweet might like this cake, the two of us not so much.
In the end, we spent about 2 hours in the dining area, we enjoyed our meal and especially the 360 degree view which was super nice, and then we spent about an hour at the look out area up stairs.
The Service was excellent; out server was very personable and quite knowledgeable and gave us a lot of info about the history of restaurant and answered our random questions about the different parts of city we could see from up there!
Overall, the food was pretty good, price sort of high but you get a pretty amazing view and the food covers the lift tickets, I won't be coming here everyday, but if I have a visitor from out of town, or for special occasions, I think I'll be returning.
