    Absolutely an incredible experience from the entry to the food and beverage order. It’s truly an experience dining there. Steaks were to perfection and OMG the Philo pastry Cheesecake was mind blowing. Do not waste another minute and get your reservation booked. Definitely worth the $$ and the Time

    We had a FANTASTIC dinner at Major Tom. Best service I have ever experienced!!! I have a dairy allergy and the waiter made notes on the menu to show what I could order as is or modified - and there were lots of options. All the staff (and especially our main waiter) were so friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive - while also giving us our space and not making us feel rushed. The view of the city is incredible! There are many delicious cocktail and mocktail options and appetizers. The food was INCREDIBLE! So so so delicious and very high quality. The filet minion was so tender and flavourful. Our waiter also brought us the most incredible vegan chocolate dessert at the end. If you want to spoil yourself or a loved one, go to Major Tom's - you won't be disappointed!

    Outstanding lunch — the food (flavours and presentation), decor and ambience, and all the staff were terrific. Fabulous food and service from Noah and the kitchen — I have a food intolerance and the chef went above and beyond to mark up a menu with things I could and could not eat, as well as items he could adjust for me. Also, it was my birthday lunch and I was given a piece of delicious cake and a birthday card signed by all the staff. Simply Outstanding and greatly appreciated. Thank you.
