Dinner at the calgary tower?

[SwitchBlade]

Has anyone had a good experience with the diner ontop of the tower? I was thinking of taking my gf there for birthday dinner. Did you have a good experience? How was the food? If not any recomendations?

Overrated, over priced, and there are far better restaraunts in town than the tower.

I've never heard anyone give a review differing much from jdmakkord's. Overpriced and overrated is all I ever hear.

I had a buffalo burger up there which was alright but there is definitely better restaurants.

Only good thing about Calgary tower is if you arrange it so you get dinner during sunset... very then, but the food is still overpriced for its quality.

I tried to plan that for valentines day with my GF... but unfortunately, the platform rotated so that it was facing east as the sun et

But as stated in this thread... there's much better food to be had for the same price... when dining at the tower, you're paying for the view, which is basically expected.

Food wise what other restraunts would compare? Does anyone have any honorable mentions for a good romantic restraunt?

supposedly the food there is good since they just changed their cooking staff.

Calgary Tower has a new kitchen staff with a great new chef -- I have been twice in the last 6 months.

Both times the food, service and ambience were perfect.

If your looking for a nice quiet restaurant with a wicked view, go there for sure. But be prepared to pay tourist prices. I mean it costs you $10 a person just to get up there, thats not inclding parking + you $20 meal. But if your prepared to pay the food is definately exceptional. I like their wild mushroom soup. Its great.

The Living Room is my choice. It's a nice casual place with nice decor.
