Come taste a savory dish at Sky 360. You can get there not only by public transit but also by bicycle and car. They are in a vibrant surrounding recognized for its nightlife.
For decades, dining at the top of the Calgary Tower has been on the to-do list for tourists and Calgarians alike. The restaurant slowly revolves, giving an impressive 360 degree view of the city from above. When the Concorde Group (owners of such celebrated venues as Anju and the National beer halls) bought the restaurant in 2008, and rechristened it Sky 360, they aimed to shake the restaurant's reputation for formality while still serving top-notch Canadian cuisine.
“We want people to understand it’s not just for fine dining anymore,” says general manager Nasser Awada. “We want people to be able to come up and enjoy a burger and a beer at lunch. It’s a casual atmosphere.” The crowds that come for the spectacular views and the food can range from tourists taking a trip to the Calgary Tower’s observation deck and families out for a special occasion to couples on a romantic date.
Sky 360 covers the price of the ticket to the Calgary Tower’s observation deck with the order of any entree, making a trip to the top a good value when paired with a meal. From the deck, visitors can gaze across the city, get a tour or have their perceptions altered by looking down on to the street below from the special vantage point of a glass floor.
We have been here several times before and it has always been a pleasurable experience till recently. Celebrated my wedding anniversary with the kids. Ordered a couple of ribeye steaks and chicken fingers for the kids. Steaks were way overcooked and chicken fingers burnt. Waitress did not really seem to care, no comp, no attempt to make things right. Spent several hundred dollars for a meal that was extremely disappointing. I will never come back here again. It is shameful.
My food was served luke warm and was very bland. We didnt get sat by the window even thought there were booths by the window available. Super disappointing and not worth the money.
Had a horrible dinner this evening at this restaurant. My $52 meal was not hot, my steak was undercooked for the way I asked for it, and the prawns and all the vegetables were lukewarm at best. Sub par food for an expensive meal. The service was good and the restaurant staff were pleasant. For that price I would not eat here again!!!
I really enjoyed my visit to Sky 360 - went there after Christmas for a dinner with friends, was very impressed with the decor and food. It was so neat to eat while overlooking the city. I would highly recommend taking a new visitor to Calgary here to eat, or for any special occassion. Nice way to see the city!
