Reviews for Major Tom Bar in Calgary, AB
We finally were able to try this ?palace in the sky.? No dissatisfaction at all! Everything was awesome! From the main lobby... hostess all the way up to the 40th floor, Major Tom was everything we?d heard about. From the amazing drinks, through eachcourse we chose, to the finish with desserts! Our server, Barry ?The Bartender,? was so knowledgeable and friendly. He guided usthrough the menu and made suggestions and paired each course we chose with a beverage. Always surprising us with his wittyhumour! I?ll tag the photos with what we had? Overall, best meal experience we have had in Calgary in a while. Get yourself areservation and find yourself high above the city. Major Tom does NOT disappoint. Read more
There are reasons why restaurants become part of Canadas Top 100 Best Restaurants list and if you go Major Tom you will... understand why.\n\nIt isn\'t just about the food albeit it is a big part of it but I\'ve been to a number of rooftop or highfloor restaurants and this one feels different. As if it isn\'t part of an office tower or hotel and that it just exists byitself with magnificent views of the city.\n\nThe decor was on point. It felt like a cool smoking lounge without the smokingwith fantastic design that complimented the approach to the drink menu and elevated that ambiance.\n\nHospitality is alive againpost pandemic and the touches and touch points from the host at the main floor checking you in and guiding you to the elevatorall the way to the staff recognizing any dietary restrictions and/or special occasions it made you feel like you were the onlyones there.\n\nAnd of course the food and the drinks are done in a way that feels upscale yet approachable (definitely have thecheese toast). The drinks are amazing and they have put a twist on old classics making them new again.\n\nCan\'t wait to be backand highly recommend. Read more

The menu is unique with really interesting dishes. There has been so much hype about this place that my expectations were really... high. The view is beautiful of course. The dishes are small but tasty. The service is exceptional. My favorite dishes were theGolden Beet Salad and the Crab & Shrimp Roll. Read more
Beautiful views, great service, amazing food, a little pricey but definitely a nice treat!\n\nI had the cheese toast (HOLY MOLY... definitely get the cheese toast you will not regret it ? unless your lactose intolerant), steak (a little gamely but perfectlycooked an seasoned), the golden beat salad (delicious and fresh).\n\nFor the price I definitely expected this quality of foodand I was thankful not to be disappointed.\n\nI went for lunch at 2pm on a Thursday and the place was packed. I even over heardthat if you?re trying to book in advance for groups at dinner time, they?re currently booking into JULY ! wow. Read more
I?m giving Major Tom a 4.5. It was a very cool vibe and the views are beautiful! The food was good, I ordered the stuffed cheese... toast? DEFINITELY order these! They?re delicious. I also had the flaming old fashion which was good and loved the flare. Theonly thing I felt could?ve used a bit more flavour was the chicken dish. All in all it?s a great place and fun night out. Alsothe service was spectacular! Read more
Went here for an anniversary dinner. The food was good however the service was poor. Everything started out fine as they... brought out our drinks and appetizer quickly however once the main course came out it went downhill for the quality of service. For example, we had a missing part of our order and no one came to see how our meal was until we were done. When we informedof the missing item they offered to provide it after our main course was done. We refused as it was too late. No one from therestaurants management team came to apologize for it being missed. The view of the city at this restaurant is great but you arepaying for this in the price of the food and the price of the drinks. Normally when you go to a restaurant for your anniversaryor for some other special event they will try to do something to add a special touch. This restaurant did nothing at all. Ireally don't think they cared that we chose them for our special evening. The pasta we ordered was amazing. Highly recommendthe Rigatoni. It was delicious! I wish I had order a full order of this as it was more flavourful than the 12 oz New Yorksteak with a side of French fries. The steak was good but for the price point it wasn't a good value. I would have been moresatisfied with full order of the rigatoni. Do not recommend the desserts. We order the lemon tart and the chocolate and peargateaux. The gateaux did not taste good at all. The flavour combination did not work well. The Lemon tart was way too tart. I like tart desserts but this was just too tart. In closing, this place seems to not care about the customer experience. Youcannot even reach out to the restaurant to talk to anyone as they do not answer their phone. This is absolutelyridiculous! Lastly, I feel that if I am playing over $200 for meal that the service should be on par. I noticed throughoutthe night they had what appeared to be supervisors with tablets walking around looking at a listing Read more
Great views. Fantastic food. Awesome service. Menu could have more options but the smaller the more quality too. You\'re looking... more for the experience here. The cold red wines are nice and crispy! It was a bit busy but that comes with being a popularrestaurant so the noise level was a little more than what I was expecting. Otherwise, definitely a restaurant you should tryout! Read more
