1. Phoned to make reservation and inquired about Happy Hour menu and requested reservation for the bar area to use Happy Hour menu- Was seated by hostess and given Happy Hour menus- Was then told -“no we do not have Happy Hour on Saturday” I explained that they took my reservation knowing I wanted this menu, they sat us with the menu and the online menu only stipulated 4-6pm- they should have honoured the menu 2. Asked us if we preferred flat or sparkling water- answered flat. Charged us 3.22 each for flat “distilled water” 3. Charged the designated driver for each club soda- no refills on soda water! Paid $10.50 for 3 small glasses of club soda. 4. Two guests ordered off fresh fish market- $44 for red snapper and served with one potato and some Horta - these guests left still hungry after very small portioned meals. The other two meals ordered were Crispy Halibut and Souvlaki, both on which could have used a few more potatoes. Overall portions are small here. 5. Desserts were $13-$15 and again small portions. 6. Was seated at the bar area for a menu we couldn’t even use- and the entire time we were there was only 2 tables filled so the atmosphere was dull and servers slow. If I had known about the menu not be offered I would have reserved the other side of restaurant that looked more interesting. 7. Be prepared not to see guests on other side of table as the lamp decor too tall and blocked the person at my diagonal of table.

A Satisfying Experience The service was attentive -- I never had to ask for water or tea, which was a nice touch. However, I do wish the ventilation had been a bit better for a more comfortable dining atmosphere. Now, onto the most important part: the food. It reminded me of my grandmother's cooking -- not overly salty, with a perfect balance of aroma, texture, and flavor. I tried several dishes: chicken and abalone stir-fry, fried wild rice with seafood, Chinese broccoli with preserved pork, pumpkin soup with lobster meat, and the standout dish -- sweet and sour seafood soup. You might think sweet and sour soup is nothing special, but this one is on another level. If you're a fan of that flavor profile, don't miss it -- you won't regret it.

4 of us went. Two had the seafood sampler (forget the actual menu name). Both dishes cold and salmon raw which the waiter explained was normal? However later changed his tune and admitted it was severely undercooked. They took our plates back and “nuked” them. Hardly fine dining. Another had the lobster. Completely mushy with an off taste. The 4th person at our table had steak which was delicious. So 1 out of 4 was ok. Such a disappointment overall. With so many restaurants in the area I would encourage you to find somewhere else.

A cute atmosphere and was relatively busy. Service was so-so and the serve was alright. The food presentation was good but substitution was less than ideal. Not sure if I would go back if I was in the area.

A great restaurant with a fabulous atmosphere. The food was superb with really friendly staff. Good gluten free options with gluten free pasta available. The menu was slightly limited and given the location it is on the expensive side.

We used to order from here a lot but getting Uber Eats from this place was the worst idea ever. The restaurant didn’t mark the bags correctly so the courier didn’t pick up half my order. The fries were also really cold and sad. Additionally, just always add 45 mins to whatever their original ETA is during dinner time because this location is a mess and you will be waiting way longer for your food than you think.

We recently had dinner at 360 Restaurant in the CN Tower in downtown Toronto. My husband had reserved a romantic table by the window and arranged a small extra with champagne and strawberries, which we appreciated. The table location was nice, but it’s worth noting that the restaurant slowly rotates. If you have a sensitive balance system, this movement could potentially cause motion sickness. We were first served a small plate of melon wrapped in prosciutto, which was pleasant but quite minimal. The menu itself was somewhat difficult to navigate. For starters, my husband ordered the grilled octopus and I chose the beef tartare. The octopus was good and well prepared. Unfortunately, the beef tartare was disappointing. Instead of a typical tartare texture, it resembled finely ground beef and was presented as a flat, round patty—almost like a small pancake. It was not something I would recommend. For the main course we both ordered the Nova Scotia lobster. You can choose either half (65 CAD) or a whole lobster (125 CAD), and we both chose the whole lobster. Based on the price and description, we expected something more substantial than simply being served one large lobster each. The final bill came to over 400 CAD, which felt very disappointing considering the overall experience. We were honestly left without words. For comparison, we have dined at places like Joey’s and The Keg where a steak and lobster combination costs around 60 CAD, with a lobster add-on of about 25 CAD. In those cases, the value for money felt far better. While the view from the CN Tower is certainly unique, the food quality and overall value did not match the price in our experience.
