I've lived in Toronto for many years and of course the CN tower is thought of as a tourist trap. I came here for a celebration dinner with low expectations, but was completely shocked with how breathtaking the view was!
I ordered the $68 prix fixe. For appetizer, I had the meat + cheese board served with an amazing side of seedy mustard. I also tried my cousin's escargot dish, which was packed with flavour - albeit the accompanying toast was a little burnt. For the main, I chose the Prime Rib and it was juicy, tender and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that the portion was just wayyy too big (hmm around 12oz. I would say?). I had the Dark Chocolate Tower for dessert and it was too rich and decadent for my taste. I moved on to try the Maple Walnut Roulade with Meringue - the combinations were so creative and tasted excellent together!
The view was completely captivating. I felt like a kid trying to look up and down Yonge street, locating Queen's Park, the OCAD building (which really stands out btw) and anything that caught my eye! It was so much fun watching the Porter planes take-off and land too! Three hours later, I was standing on the deck, still staring at the view and getting all dreamy eyed from the sunset. I'm so glad I made the trip here!
