The Calgary Tower is a great way to get a full view of the city. The observation deck gives you a 360° look at Calgary and the Rocky Mountains on a clear day. The glass floor is a fun experience and makes for some great photos. The staff are friendly, and the elevator ride to the top is smooth and quick. The visit itself doesn’t take too long unless you plan to eat at the restaurant, but it’s still worth it for the views and the unique perspective of the city. Tickets are a little expensive for the short time you spend there, but it’s one of Calgary’s most iconic landmarks and a nice stop if you’re exploring downtown.

Wow stunning views. And going at sunset is highly recommended! The mountains are a perfect with the sun setting behind them! Food was fantastic! It's so beautiful to see the lights of the city light up below! We went after a long day of travelling and sightseeing so we were casually dressed, but you can dress up super fancy too! It was great!

My visit to the Calgary Tower during a day trip to Calgary was a memorable highlight, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the city that truly showcased its charm. On a cloudless, sunny day, the conditions were ideal, revealing the distant Rocky Mountains and the urban expanse in stunning clarity. The observation deck, enriched with informative displays identifying key buildings, added an educational layer to the experience, making it both engaging and insightful. The ambiance was pleasant, and the tower stands as a notable tourist attraction in downtown Calgary, with a unique glass floor section that, while smaller than anticipated, provided a thrilling perspective. However, the experience was tempered by certain drawbacks. The tower, while iconic, shows signs of aging and is dwarfed by newer, taller skyscrapers, which slightly diminishes its grandeur The cost—approximately $75 for two, including parking and admission—a bit too steep. The viewing deck offers a decent panorama, but the surrounding skyline is less striking than expected. Overall, the Calgary Tower is well worth a visit for its unparalleled views and historical significance, particularly for first-time visitors to Calgary. Its combination of scenic beauty, informative displays, and cozy ambiance makes it a rewarding stop, best enjoyed on a clear day.

Visiting Calgary Tower is a must for anyone coming to Calgary! The ride to the top is an amazing experience — the panoramic view of the city and the mountains on the horizon is truly breathtaking. Standing on the glass floor is especially thrilling — it takes your breath away, but it’s absolutely worth it! The staff are friendly and welcoming, and everything is well organized and efficient. The restaurant at the top has a great atmosphere and a view you just can’t look away from. A fantastic place to feel the scale of Calgary and take stunning photos. Highly recommended!

The Calgary Tower turned out to be an excellent stop on our trip. Admission is roughly half the price of Toronto’s CN Tower, and since the Calgary Tower is about half the height, it feels like a perfect trade-off—great value without compromising the experience. We timed our visit for around sunset and it couldn’t have been better. The views of downtown Calgary, the Bow River, and the Rockies glowing in the evening light were absolutely stunning. From the glass floor to the 360-degree panorama, every angle offered something memorable. Overall, the Calgary Tower provides amazing scenery and a fair price point that makes it easy to recommend. If you can, plan your visit for sunset—you’ll catch the city at its most beautiful.

It was definitely worth going once! You get to see the city from a view point that’s quite amazing. However it is super important to figure out what time you should go there. I wouldn’t go again though because I do not think the ticket prices are worth multiple visits.

We didn't buy the ticket to the top but we had a dinner in 360 sky restaurant at the top of the tower. The foods were out of the world and the price was right for a sky tower restaurant. We spent $200 incl tips there, while we spent $500 in Look up tower restaurant in Vancouver, ever the foods here much better than Vancouver. We don't have to wear fancy dress here, casual is okay.

A fun, festive, and educational experience for everyone. The Park has an assortment of activities, rides, food, civic museums, and heritage architecture emphasizing the cultural significance of early Prairie settlement/life. It's like taking a step back in time, and it's worth every dollar. 11/10 do recommend.

Heritage Park in Calgary is a fantastic destination for a family outing. The park stands out for its welcoming policy on food and drinks, allowing visitors to bring their own and enjoy a picnic-like atmosphere—a rare perk that saves a lot on expenses compared to other parks where you can easily spend over $100 just on meals. Though tickets are on the pricier side at $36 for adults and $26 for kids, the experience is worth every penny. The park is meticulously managed, from parking to rides and everything in between. It’s incredibly clean, with free water fountains and spotless washrooms, ensuring a comfortable visit. Highly recommended for a day of fun and relaxation!

Really enjoyed coming here. It's like Disneyland, but better, because you can actually learn something about actual frontier life and how Alberta came about as opposed to some fantasized version of how things were. Plus, the Vaudevillian performances were really entertaining. There was something that happened, I don't want to go into the details, but I want to take a chance to thank the staff for handling the incident professionally and being very kind to me and my party.

An absolutely wonderful place! The ticket price is well worth it, as it covers more than just a visit to a village—it's an immersive experience. During your visit, you'll watch over five short theater performances, each lasting at least 30 minutes, depicting the rich history of the area. The actors and actresses are incredibly talented, making the stories come to life. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt that one day isn't enough to fully appreciate everything this place has to offer. The staff members are all kind and helpful, providing excellent explanations about the site, especially the lady in the mine. You can begin your journey from the parking lot by taking a charming streetcar ride.Unfortunately, the gift shops didn’t have any magnets from this village, which was a bit disappointing.

This is such a wonderful place to visit. Everyone here always makes sure that you are having a good time. Everyone is in costume and stays true to the character they are portraying. There is a steam engine train you can ride as well at the steam ship that goes out along the reservoir. There are tractor rides and horse-drawn wagon rides, all of which are free with admission. There are midway rides for people of all ages. The general store and ice cream shop sell delicious treats, and the bakery is always making fresh baked items for sale. Every exhibit is authentic and has a plaque to describe its original location. There is so much to do that you can easily spend a full day here and not see everything there is to see.

I really enjoyed this place. Wow! If you have children, they will enjoy it as well. I recommend going on the steam locomotive at Shepard Station or riding the S.S. Moyie first (in the same area) then do the other after. After experiencing these attractions, wander the property. Cool off with a local brew at the Wainwright Hotel & Bar Room.

Truly amazing experience! All employees were very friendly and welcoming. So much things to do and have fun. We were visiting Calgary for the first time and Heritage Park was the best part of the trip. My son had a blast riding a real steam train. All the family had great time.

Glad to have tried this place on free admission day with toddlers. Cool space with multiple floors. You can try out various instruments. I would say if you’ve got toddlers you might as well just go to Long & McQuade until they are older as there isn’t much else for them here so you could save the entrance fee. Cool designs, general space, art, etc.

Full of Canadian and American music, musician information, history, clothing, instrumental artifacts, interactive exhibits, and visuals, all set in an incredibly cleverly designed architectural experience. Check out senior prices on Wednesdays. Parking is nearby in a parkade. You can quickly purchase tickets at the front desk and move through the exhibit at your pace. We found two hours was plenty.

What an amazing place. Not only the building but the collection of music artifacts. 5 floors of amazing music items to look at read and watch. Try your hand at our of the many instruments. Guitar, drums, piano. Lots to read and enjoy. Easy parking right beside the studio. We spent clse to 3 hours because we took our time reading doing lots. Washrooms on every floor.

Took advantage of the free admission on Canada Day and finally visited this intriguing National Music Centre. Although it was quite crowded, the architecture was truly impressive. I took some photos and found that converting them to black and white gave them a stronger sense of texture.

This is a beautiful facility! If you are a music lover, and/or interested in instruments it’s a great place to visit. I love that they have instruments out that you can play.

Quite simply a musical paradise for any and all who enjoy music and the history of how it has influenced society and people through the years. A celebration of music highlighting all that Canada has done for this outstanding piece of art.

Came on a saturday afternoon. Thankfully it wasn't busy at all and there was lots of room to wander around. I liked the more interactive areas where you could listen to music, learn to play an instrument or look at the cool costumes. The architecture of the place is amazing, I was more interested in the architecture than the museum exhibits.

Such an interesting place to visit, lots of interesting things on display, and so much history to learn about. The permanent collections are quite good, but I also really enjoy the exhibits which change, as they it freshen things up. I recently learned about the extensive collections this museum actually holds, and I hope with the new place that they rotate more, as it’s really good to learn more about our history in Alberta, Canada, and the world.

Visited during their First Thursday of the Month free admission and it was really crowded but worth the visit! They have four floors with lots of exhibits like Calgary history, pre-historic time, Minerals, artifacts, collections and contemporary arts. It’s a good place to visit if you’re in Stephen Avenue area so you could get a little history about the city👌

Amazing art history museum! Beautiful exhibits highlighting deffoerent art mediums like pencil, paint and sculpture. Great inclusion of inuit and indigenous artists and culture. I especially loved the Mankind exhibit and the pencil art exhibit. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town and in mood to see some astounding art. Although, there is currently a huge renovation going on where the 3rd and 4th floors are closed, maybe even for while. Also, they need ticket reservations online with certain time slots.

We were lucky as when we got to the museum they told us it was free for everyone! We thought it would be crowded, but it was not. There were plenty of people but did not feel uncomfortable, there was plenty of room for everyone to move around and look at the exhibitions. Warriors is one of our favorite exhibits. I have seen lots of armors before, but did not know how they made them, here we learned so much! Also the mineral exhibit is amazing, worthwhile visiting, kids loved it. Visiting the museum takes time, we could not see all of it, but are planning a second visit. This is a great museum!

Wonderful museum with always lots of exhibits to look around. I think it is because of a sponsor but every first Thursday of the month is free entry for everybody to have a look around the museum. As a student, this is a blessing. I was fortunate enough to look at the exhibit on the indigenous community of Canada (Alberta to be specific) named 'Niitsitapiisinni: Our Way of Life'. It was a beautiful exhibit and well put together too.

The best museum I've been to. Some of the stands are interactive. Great source of inspiration. Seems somewhat modest when you come in but the moment I spoke to the receptionist I knew this was gonna be good. Very kind people willing to help you, guide you and, if you go on your own you don't miss a thing since everything is very intuitive. Highly recommended both as a personal experience as well as a group visit

The Genbow is and always has been an excellent museum. It is not huge but they do a great job with the space. There is always a visiting exhibit. Hands on exhibits and the regular exhibits. I had not been for a while and they really upgraded several of the exhibits. I also find that the price is very reasonable for a museum of this type. Definitely worth a visit.

Came here for Folk Fest and it did not disappoint! It is an amazing venue to hold such a popular festival. There are multiple stages with remarkably good sound systems and plenty of natural grass to sit on. The breeze from the river sure is welcome under the hot sun 🌞 There is a great big children's playground here that is quite popular. The benches around it are perfect for parents to sit at while letting their kids burn off their energy. In the Spring there are plenty of Canada geese that nest 🪺 and prepare their goslings for life outside the nest. With all of the natural beauty it is a great escape from the urban jungle just across the bridge.

Super nice quiet park in the heart of downtown. Lots of space, large trees, benches, flower gardens. With the river on both sides it really is a quiet area. Everyone at the park is doing the same thing - just enjoying. Can be super busy on summer weekends or holidays. So bicycling can be a slow process because of the crowds!

Excellent park with broad walkway, washrooms, great view of river and downtown, must visit this park if you are at peace bridge. You can even rent a neuron e bike/scooter to stroll around. Great place to spend a nice evening. Lots of picnic spots were available both shaded and unshaded. Public washrooms were at the River Cafe there is even a playground with lots of kids activity for kids to have fun. Highly recommended park in the heart of Calgary. Parking is mostly on streets on either side of the river. Check out the videos & imaged & follow for more detailed reviews.

Nice park, not far from downtown Calgary if you're on foot. It was cold and windy when we went there, but the parked seemed nice nonetheless. We saw many squirrels and there are beautiful flowers everywhere. Also a good spot to take some pictures of Bow River, but in a sunny day it must be much nicer.

I parked at the Crescent Heights scenic point and walked into the Prince’s Island Park via the connecting stairs. Pro: I did not need to worry about parking and could instead focus on how BEAUTIFUL the park was and how joyful the people were. Con: I had to walk up a gazillion stairs to get back to my car. Depending on your enthusiasm for cardio, this con can become your pro as I saw a bunch of people exercising by running up and down the stairs. I cannot relate. This may be an ignorant American viewpoint, but are Canadians just that much happier and healthier?? I went on a 2-mile (sorry I don’t know what that is in kilometers) walk around the park and not only did I see beautiful views, I also interacted with lovely people. There were many recreational enjoyers of the park and they took the time to look me in the eyes and smiled at me?? The camaraderie was off the charts. With that said, I feel for the homeowners who live right next to the park because they have to deal with very loud car pollution from the road (side facing Crescent Heights). While walking back to my car, I did have the thought that I should’ve brought my noise canceling headphones because it was so loud that I could not think. If the city of Calgary can invest in safer streets by converting that arterial road into bike and pedestrian paths instead, that would make the park experience that much better. It is my wishful thinking, and I think it could work since driving on that road didn’t seem all that stress-free either. It was clogged up with anxious drivers waiting to get the heck out of there, and it was where I heard the first loud horn during my stay in Canada.

Nice place to take a stroll. It is nice to see the park under every different seasons. You will appreciate to sit on a bench and read a nice book while enjoying the scenery. There is a cafe situated in the park if you want to enjoy a hot beverage. Squirrels and ducks will be your companion in your journey.

I visited this park during July end. The park is very beautiful and clean. The neighborhood is lovely. The park is on the banks of Bow River. Water is dark blue and looks very scenic. However, parking was limited. We went to the peace bridge, and even though it was under construction, the bridge looked beautiful.

After all these years, this is still one of my favourite restaurants in Calgary! Food: oh man, where to start. Basically, you can’t go wrong. For a table of 4, we tried the shrimp toastie, calamari, beef tartare, and… something else yummy (don’t recall what it’s called). And while they are all a hit, we enjoyed the calamari the most. The burger is always solid, but my friends enjoyed the halibut, flat iron steak and the chicken. Model milk does a great job making classics their own and memorable, while also doing the simple things well. Apple pie was a great way to finish such an awesome meal. Service: attentive, friendly, but still elevated enough to make customers feel special and that they are enjoying their time out. Our server however did make an error on our bill. Atmosphere: I love the vibe of model milk, industrial, elevated but not fussy. Great for any night out. Value: for the taste, quality and quantity I think it’s great value. Will be coming back time and time again, and on my highly recommended list! Make sure you make a reservation in advance.

Model milk has great food, ambience, and service. It is more laid back and casual for ambience but has stronger emphasis on food. Some items are great, some are just okay. I would recommend the octopus, calamari, or salad. The fried chicken wasn’t bad but it wasn’t exactly special either. Service was excellent. The waitress was very attentive and helped my friend who had a few too many drinks prior to dinner.

This place definitely superseded my expectations. From the moment I walked in the door and was seated with my guest. The attentiveness from every single staff member that approaches your table. Complete full description as they place the plate down. We shared the fry bread, which was overflowing with flavors, the calamari which is not your typical restaurant style this is pan fried to perfection, the hot chicken meal with coleslaw and buttermilk biscuits is to die for, perfect spice for a Nashville hot. Now my favorite part of every meal and the only thing I took pictures of desert. The apple pie with white cheddar in the crust, not to sweet but packed with apples, the chocolate desert was so smooth, rich a complete balance of dark chocolate and strawberry cream. Definitely a returning customer.

Cocktails and service were amazing! I had high hopes for the food- and while it tried, it didn’t hit as high as we were expecting. We ordered many dishes, including the crudo, tartar, cavatelli, calamari, and the fried chicken share plate with biscuits. Unfortunately they were out of all their bread dishes. We first had the tartar. Oddly, itcame with lettuce and not a bread or cracker, which completely overpowered the flavour profile of the tartar (which was honestly better just by itself). The crudo was good but the flavour was flat considering how many acidic and tasty things were supposed to go with it (ex: couldn’t even get a hint of green apple on most pieces which I was VERY excited for). the calamari was super interesting and very flavourful, and the cavatelli had really good flavour but was extremely dense, to the point we questioned if it was just underdone. The chicken platter, however, was very good cook and flavour, and the biscuits were phenomenal. Probably wouldn’t go back anytime soon, but was a good experience as it was on our bucket list for a while!

Amazing food and excellent service. Dropped by because Pedro Pascal said it was his favourite restaurant in Calgary and we had a great time. We got a seat by the kitchen and it was really fun watching them cook

Awesome spot, we were visiting Calgary for a night frpm Vancoucer, and our good friends took us here and wow, very impressed. The food was amazing, ambience is so good and service was excellent all the way through. Did I mention that the food was amazing? That ribeye steak is insane, and everything else we ordered was also really, really good. We will make sure to come visit again the next time we are in town!

Model Milk was a great experience! Staff is very attentive, and food was good. I had the flat iron steak which was good, the other people dining with me had the scallops and the octopus. I will definitely be back in the future!

Their weekend brunch was great! The Benedict biscuit tasted like it was made in the morning (and it was amazing by the way). Never had an eggs Benedict with arctic char but would definitely get again. We love the Canadian flavours and it really shows in the cooking :))

A lovely late lunch on the patio today! Service was excellent, our waitress was friendly and kinda laid back - which actually suits us very well. Food was great also: the flatbread (pizza) and the glazed eggplant + tart for dessert. The eggplant was our favourite for sure! If we lived here, we'd be back 🥰

We got the sablefish appetizer and halibut main. Both very yummy. The chocolate dessert was absolutely delicious. This is in the middle of Prince’s Island Park so it’s a bit of a (pleasant) trek from downtown parking lots.

Came here for lunch. For one of Canada's top 100 restaurants it was priced very well. One of the best old fashioned's that I've had in the city. I had the arctic char and very much appreciated the attention they paid to the texture in the meal - that felt unique.

Beautiful location inside a park in Calgary, not too far from the Chinatown area. This spot has beautiful views and an amazing serene feel to it as you approach it after a walk around the park. The food here is decent - came here for brunch and they featured many of the brunch classics with lots of locally sourced meats and vegetables. The portion sizes were decent as well, so you won’t leave hungry. Overall - it’s a good spot in Calgary to check out for brunch and a stroll in the park.

We had an incredible lunch here. Sat outside on a gorgeous afternoon. We were seated promptly and order was taken quickly. Drinks were delicious. The restaurant filled up quickly, and the wait for food was a bit long, but it was worth it. Every bite was great. Standouts include the lamb sirloin flatbread and the beef tartare. Service was very friendly and accommodating with a booster seat available for a child.

Beautiful location, great decor and ambiance. We went for brunch. First time there. Food and drinks were delicious except for the fish cake! We had a scone, monogram coffee, cider, bacon, eggs with hash, lamb sausage and toast which were all tasty. Only thing I didn’t love was the fish cake. It tasted too fishy. I had halibut a few times before and it never tasted so fishy. I did live on the west coast in Vancouver by the ocean so maybe I should not compare fish in Alberta to fish I had while living near the ocean. That’s my honest opinion and experience. I would maybe try the restaurant one more time for dinner, and see how it is, although we will likely not get the fish again. Server was nice overall. I did mention the fishy taste of fish cakes and asked if that’s normal, he said it’s supposed to taste fishy so I said ok. I usually don’t mention things to restaurants but was curious if it’s supposed to taste the way it tasted. I did mention all the foods we did like as well.

We had the chef's tasting menu and the wine pairings. The staff was really friendly, and always made sure our drinks were filled. The wine was fantastic, and well paired with the food. The food, was decent but I wasn't really wowed by any dish. I probably wouldn't recommend it, because the value wasn't there for me. The overall experience was really good! Thank you so much 😊

Wowwwww this was such an amazing meal! Went for the chefs menu for a special night out and it was awesome. My bf isn't big on the foodie stuff so he wasn't into the uniqueness quite as much as I was but one dish he just didn't want to eat - I told them he wasn't fond of smoked salmon, and he was so embarrassed - i tried to ensure him that it's ok to say you don't like something (nobody likes to complain, but when you're paying this much you want to enjoy it!), and so they whipped up something else within 10 minutes and after that he perked up completely for the rest of the meal. They had such great attitudes and didn't make us feel awkward for turning away a dish, I even requested 2 different desserts and they made it happen. I was thrilled! I have to say - 6 courses doesn't include the palette cleansers. I was absolutely stuffed and I regret not wearing stretchy pants or loose fitting dress. My waistline changed from my rib cage to my hips. The server was so awesome all the servers and hostess were friendly and helpful, my server even took care of a spider that found its way onto the table without even flinching. I guess black widows haven't had fatal bites on record since the 80's, what do ya know. The place is stunning the food is divine. I will definitely return. They also allow single diners to order the chef menu which isn't always the case. Totally recommend it if you love fine dining!

Treated ourselves for a special occasion and Rouge did not disappoint with warm, friendly, knowledgeable service. We chose the tasting menu which was superb, standouts were the salmon and beef tenderloin. Wine list was interesting with good value wines by the glass and a great selection by the bottle. Would highly recommend for a special treat, not cheap but still good value for what you get to enjoy.

I really enjoyed this experience! Great service, amazing food, totally haunted if you are into that. Love it. I tried the tatare and enjoyed the courser chop compared to usual tatare dishes I've tried. The sirloin was a tender texture for the rare cook I requeste, many places would not have that characteristic for that type of cook and I appreciated that. The rabbit was also delicious. Brussel sprouts were not it, maybe I usually eat them sweetened or something but they felt plain to me. Everything else was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I loved the potatoes especially, the flavors were fantastic. Also tried side of the cornbread and that was really nice. The beets were interesting. The chocolate cheesecake was fun and yummy too. This was a special experience and also there is definitely a ghost upstairs. The artwork throughout is beautiful. The giant light bulb was super cute, love that. The service was phenomenal and the food was worth the price absolutely. Definitely a more upscale dining experience in a unique setting. We had a great time.

Went here for our anniversary and decided to try something out of our comfort zone! Service was spectacular and it was a really cool restaurant in a house built in the 1800’s. We went with the blind tasting 6 course menu. My favourite was the soup. Although, I don’t remember what was in it. I was super excited to try the rabbit but was a little disappointed it wasn’t served fresh. Overall, amazing experience!

Our server, Miriam, was lovely and patient as we ask about the dishes. Surprisingly, we adored the pork tenderloin more than the beef. The way they made potatoes were so interesting. It was a delightful experience. It’s a pricey restaurant, and I’m rating it 4 since I wasn’t “wowed” by the beef nor the vegan lasagna. However, looking forward to come back here to try their tasting menu.

Amazing food and top service. First time here and found it worth every penny. Look forward to the second visit as the waitress told me they update the menu every a few months

We came on such a busy night so we didn’t have a server for the first 5-10 minutes but after that, everything came out so fast that we couldn’t keep up! We couldn’t fault them for how busy it was as the rest of the staff took care of us and the food was so good. My fave pizza was the feature pizza (Spicy Chicken Bacon Ranch) and would definitely come back to try out the other features !!

UNA pizza + wine Calgary just has to be visited when your name is Una! It is a popular Italian restaurant on 17th Avenue. I choose to have the kale Cesar salad for one while my hubby had his carnivore filled pizza. We both enjoyed our meals. He had a couple of cans of the UNA larger and he liked them. I had some red tempreniilo which was good. Service was efficient and speedy.

Celebrated my pup's 5th bday here! We chose to dine here because of the patio but food and servers were amaaaaaaazing!! 🤩 Very accommodating and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay including our pup. Thanks to all the wonderful servers earlier. Sorry we didn't get your names.

So happy with the experience we had here. The staff was so nice and friendly. Food came out quick, everything was delicious. Garlic bread was fresh and amazing!!! And for dessert we ordered the dulce de leche one and omg it tasted sooo good! 100% recommended!

Una is one of my favorite pizza places in Calgary. However, one of my absolute favorite dish there is the arancini, they’re the best! I just wish the portion was bigger. Hahahaha Yesterday, we were served by Caio, who is such a lively, friendly, and welcoming person. His service made me feel right at home. Una Pizza, you have a great professional on your team!

YUMMY! Got Spicy and Sweet Prosciutto (up) and The Local (bottom). Both were yummy but the local was overall sweet while Spicy and Sweet Prosciutto was sweet and a little spicy. More fun in flavour!

I really enjoyed my visit to this pizzeria. The pizza was delicious with fresh ingredients and a perfect crust, and the service was fast and friendly. The place has a cozy atmosphere, and everything made me want to come back again soon.

Overall, great atmosphere albeit pretty loud ambience. The good was simple but elevated experience, my favourite was their endive salad. The chicken was good, crispy, tender but also over salted. Burger had a nice brisket with over-seasoned fries. We had a good experience overall, and the prices are very reasonable given the location and view and overall food quality and portions. Would definitely return!

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. The décor, lighting, and energy of the place instantly set the mood for a fun night out. The food was absolutely outstanding — every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell that a lot of care goes into both the cooking and the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which made the whole experience even better. Shoutout Bill our server was amazing great drink recommendation and food recommendation. I left with a full stomach, a big smile, and memories of a fantastic night. I can’t wait to come back again

We had a three course meal and some shareables, as well as drinks. Both were on point. My wife had the cesar salad, duck breast and a dairy free desert. I had the beef tartare, icelandic cod and an afagatto. We shared the glazed pork belly and some truffle fries. It was probably the best meal we’ve had in years. Food, drink and service were flawless. I wish we could remember our waitresses name because she was amazing!

We decided to try Major Tom after hearing so many good things, so we arrived with pretty high expectations. The place was packed, which is expected on a Saturday night, but that’s also where our disappointment started. We ordered a few starters, and none of them really impressed us. The Major Tots were just okay. The oysters — which our server highly recommended — were honestly the most flavorless oysters I’ve ever had. The tuna crudo was fine, but nothing memorable. The biggest letdown, though, was the drinks. Hard to believe a place with this reputation can’t make a decent Caesar. My wife ordered two different cocktails(Hanami and Butterfly Elbows), and both were very underwhelming — nothing special at all. To highlight something positive, the duck was excellent — definitely the standout of the night, however our waiter mention that 1 will be good amount for 2, not at all. Service at the door was great and friendly, but inside the restaurant felt chaotic, maybe just because it was a busy Saturday. On top of all that, the whole experience was very pricey for the quality of the food and drinks we got. Overall, maybe we came in with expectations that were too high, but the visit didn’t quite live up to the hype.

Fantastic drop in experience that surpassed all expectations. The food was delicious and filling. With the duck being a particular highlight. Rich, full of flavour without stripping the actual flavour of duck out and being tender while not void of texture. The entrees were delightfully flavourful and service was prompt, polite and attentive. We opted for a quick power lunch of two entrees and a main and left far more filled than we could have expected. I only had the peach old fashioned but if that was anything to go by I think any cocktail there is a good bet. The atmosphere was clean, cosy and luxurious. With decor within being art deco/ mid century and put together with such great attention to detail that you had as much a view inside as you did looking out the window. And goodness is the view from the window something to behold. No camera of mine would do it justice but seeing the Calgary skyline and mountains in the distance was spectacular for still being in the downtown area. Highly recommend the experience and if you get the stroke of luck I had. Seeing two peregrine falcons fly towards us and perch outside the window momentarily was an external factor but one that made it all the more memorable.

Major Tom is one of the more premium dining experiences available in Calgary. Located in a downtown highrise the views can't be beat; the ambience gives metropolitan vibe and the food and beverage offering reflect that. The service was top tier and our server kept a good check on us even tho they were perpetually busy. We were by for a quick drink and apps and got the tartare and a few other sides, all delicious and innovative. Major Tom is definitely a place to go and be impressive and be impressed. Recommend for first timers to specify when making a reso a window seat in case they can accommodate you. Finally, Fine Dining but make it cool! I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Major Tom Bar delivers a truly elevated dining experience high above the city. The atmosphere is stylish, the views are stunning, but the kitchen truly steals the show. Steak is a masterclass in preparation—perfectly seared, incredibly tender, and bursting with rich, savory flavor. No order is complete without Major Tots—crispy, savory comfort that perfectly complements the richness of the main course. I highly recommend Beet Salad and Charred Sweet Potato and for Pasta lovers Gnocchi and Campanelle must be tried. With impeccable service and top-tier food, Major Tom is a must-visit destination for an unforgettable, high-end culinary experience✨
