    Definitely a remarkable experience, however, the main course can be better. The appetizers and the desert menu is excellent but main course was a bland and not very interesting at all. However, the view and the company I had made up for it. If the food was better then no complaints I would give it a five star. A total cost for the lunch and admission fees came around $182.00. Be advised that the restaurant can make you feel dizzy specially if you are sitting next the windows but that comes without saying since its a revolving restaurant that takes exactly one hour for you to come back to the same view you started off your lunch with.

    Angelo and his team take pride in their service and ensure you have a memorable experience. The food is good but you are here to enjoy the views and the experience. The calamari, shrimps, salads, lamb chops were good. The steak and cocktails were okay but then again it’s not a steakhouse. Thanks for the experience Angelo!

    Breath taking views and an amazing experience. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and they surprised us with a cheese cake at the end. The staff was professional and the service was excellent!! Although a few more vegetarian options would have been great. Hubby liked it and had a great time and we spent 200 Canadian dollars not including tip for a party of 3. We noticed another large group that came by later and the wait staff had to insist to them that a main dish per person is required. I didn’t know that before, but it’s good to know for future. Also we had a photographer come by and take pics, which we ended up buying only to realise that it’s better off to wait for the pics at the end and get them from the lobby. Those ones are way better and fun than the restaurant pics. I definitely recommend the overall experience though!!

    Great view of the falls and the city. We had a burger and the seafood symphony. The $37 burger was really dry and fries were burnt. The salmon in the seafood symphony dish was good, but the scallops were too well done and rubbery. Although food was just average, the view made this experience excellent..

    It was such a beautiful experience. The staff were friendly- we had Rose and John - and their work rate was impressive. The view from up there, lovely. The food was great as well. It wasn't a lot but that was expected. I had the lamb ribs. Also loved the 360 rotation thing. I also like that booking a reservation comes with a free pass to the observatory deck and a view of the fireworks. Also the cocktail cup was complimentary

    We were able to make a last minute reservation for a party of 3 on a Friday (the stars had aligned). When you enter the building there are 2 gift shops downstairs and an arcade in the basement. They ask that you wait until 15 minutes before your reservation to get your reservation tickets. Keep in mind there are dinner and observation reservations (each require a ticket). You then wait in line to enter the glass door elevators that take you up to the restaurant. It was a bit chaotic as there are several groups entering and exiting the elevators. We were seated within 5 minutes. The view is spectacular. The restaurant revolves within 365 degrees in an hour; which allows time for photos. We ordered the calamari, garlic bread, salmon entree, prime rib entree and New York strip entree; they each were cooked to perfection and tasted delicious. They give you free bread w/ butter after ordering. The alcoholic drinks ranged between $10-$14 (pending the drink). Overall an amazing experience but keep in mind it is an experience so the cost is pricey. They do have parking, they have a kids menú and if you have dinner reservations; the observation deck is free.

    Food was actually quite good. Prime rib barely needed to be chewed it was so tender. I don't usually eat broccoli, but theirs was steamed perfectly so that I enjoyed it. Cocktails on the small side. Not quite the level one would expect for the prices, but you are paying for the view really. And the view is friggin phenomenal. Service was excellent as well.

    We had heard mixed reviews but really enjoyed our experience here. Arrive early as there is quite a wait for the elevators and same on the way down, this was a bit of a bummer. We were seated very quickly on arrival and had a great table by the window. The views are great. Appetizers were hit and miss but shrimp cocktail and French onion soup were good. Main course sea bass was delicious and well cooked. Strip steaks were tough but when mentioned they remade and got back out quickly and were prefect, very accommodating and recovered well. The service we experienced was very good. They brought cheesecake as an apology which was not necessary but appreciated. Would have liked some choice on the sides but with the volume of tourists they put through understand why they don’t. Overall good experience and views are worth the trip.

    I was worried, given the mixed reviews. I'm glad I came It's pricey, but I felt worth it- great food, rotating view, great views!! Food: delicious and portions were large. I had the 12oz prime rib, while my wife had the seabass. Both were perfect! As were the French onion soup and apple pie a la mode (get this if you have room) Service: staff was friendly and attentive The views were icing on the cake It's definitely an expensive meal, but worth it

    The view was absolutely amazing!!! We did the early dinner special. The food was absolutely horrible. My partner had the salmon and I had the beef stroganoff. The salmon was super fish and the sauce was very bland. The veggies had no seasoning and was stale. The beef stroganoff was also very bland, with little sauce. The chocolate dessert was super horrible. I ordered a margarita and it tasted as if it was from a box. The service felt rushed. Whoever the chef is, should feel embarrassed for that horrendous food.

    If I could give this more stars I would. I cannot recommend it more! We took our two kids here for dinner while visiting Niagara Falls and we are so happy we did! This is a must see place. Not only is the view spectacular but the service was as well. My son was scared at first because you are so high up and the waitresses payed extra attention to him. They brought over crayons right away and even a side of cucumbers when they saw him eating mine from my salad. The filet was really good and my kids liked their meals as well which were huge! You cannot go to Niagara without making a reservation here. Really amazing!

    This worked out great. As you view the menu and think, well these prices are a bit more than I'd like to pay, remember you can spend the same money on the ground and NOT get this view. The whole place revolves (one rph, so 360' an hour) and in the course of a meal you'll see everything at least once. Food was great, staff were super efficient and friendly, free access to the open air viewing platform was good too. I made my reservation for 6pm, with a 6.15 sunset. Got some great photos in the daylight and by the time we were leaving it was dark and the falls were all lit up: timing was ideal! Recommended!

    We made reservations during the day at the skylon tower to see the views in the day time and it did not disappoint. Our server was really funny and definitely liked to chat. Our food was really good, we ended up both getting salmon and the shrimp to start. It's a tad pricey but I find everywhere is there.

    I've been here 3 times - once by myself, once with a date, and once with my family. Every time was splendid! We had great service, delicious food, and amazing views. I'm very surprised to see the lower reviews on here. Perhaps I was lucky, but I've been to quite a few places, so while I don't consider myself too picky, I know poor service & quality when I experience it. Not a problem here!!

    The view is good. It’s good for a one-time experience. Large portions of food, so the price may be justified.. nothing out of ordinary when it comes to the taste of food. Menu is extremely limited with only 2 options to choose from for vegetarians. Service is fine.

    Since admission to Skylon Tower's Ride to the Top and Observation Decks is free with dining, we decided to do lunch at the Revolving Dining Room restaurant. Since the restaurant is located at the top of the tower and silently rotates 360 degrees every hour, we had spectacular views of Niagara Falls and the entire region throughout lunch. Yes, it was an expensive lunch but well worth it. The dining experience was unforgettable from the attentive personal service to the delicious food and incredible views. It was a great experience, one that we would highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Janice A. 10 months ago on Google
    8 oz strip steak came out rare almost blue when I ordered it medium. Even as time passed, it was still rare. Steak was seasoned well but cooked badly. Broccoli tasted good. Calamari was like a 1 cm ring. The calamari was 90% breading. For a $52 entree, I expected more. The mango martini and the view was also nice. Overall, this place is honestly just for the experience not the food. Dress code was nothing too fancy, but dress a little nicer for it.

  • 4/5 Henry C. 11 months ago on Google
    The view up here was splendid. The dishes were alright, I think they could have better presentation. The waiters we met were very friendly and accommodating. It was a pricey meal for sure, but definitely worth a try if you’re in search of a vivid Niagara Falls experience.

  • 5/5 Thomas N. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome time here, atmosphere is out of this world, it's changing so you dont realize your waiting for food, but when it comes your taste buds will be having their own out of this world experience, you have to try this Niagra Experience if nothing else, girlfriend says it was very romantic. She had salmon, and I had the Seafood pasta, we also had meatball appetizers, and Garlic bread with cheese, and cheesecake for dessert. We will come back next time we are in town.

    We love it ! Celebrated our anniversary in a legendary premium revolving dining restaurant and savour world class continental cuisine .The food was worth its cost and service was welcoming . The best Anniversary celebration !Revolving Dining was a one of a kind exceptional memoir .We’re stoked of the restaurant’s silent rotation about 360 degrees every hour, given us a constantly changing vantage point. They said It’s estimated that more than 125 km are viewable from the dining room. It indeed was the most breathtaking view in all of Niagara Falls.Stunning!Truly Amazing ,very intimate ,cozy ,great ambience and We really enjoyed our dining 775 ft above the falls .Celebrated Dining Extra Ordinary Experienced!

    Very nice view of the falls, staff is amazing, the food quality was great but the taste was very blend and it wasn’t appetizing. I went for a solo birthday dinner and had a good time, but I will definitely not go back. I was very disappointed when I took a bite off my steak. I would not go back.

  • 5/5 Mariana A. 1 year ago on Google
    I was nervous about eating here because of the mixed reviews, but I'm happy we went anyway. This was the best start of 2023. The views were amazing!!!! The food was delicious. The waitresses were attentive and super friendly. The kids menu was also wonderful. My husband and I were surprised with how large the portions were for the kids. I highly recommend, especially for families with kids. We reserved a table right at opening (11:30am) the restaurant was not crowded and we didn't wait long for our meals.

  • 4/5 Herb B. 1 year ago on Google
    The views was magnificent, the service was excellent...food was good. I felt very happy to get a window seat. My NY strip streak was so lean no fat, was cooked right, just too lean...whoever trimmed this cut went too far lol...calmari rings was a huge portion but a little chewy...dipping sauces good. Would've been 5 star if the steak had more fat and calamari less chewy Definitely make a reservation here if visiting it's worth the trip. I spent $200 cad for a good meal with awesome views, and visit the top. Parking annoying for $15 and there were too many flies on the windows

    We enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner with spectacular views. The service was excellent and professional. The food was quite good, with the only exception being that my medium rare steak was more on the rare side (not a deal breaker at all). We even had it timed out perfectly to have the 10pm fireworks happen right as we were facing the show. All in all a very nice experience.

  • 4/5 kazi a. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely amazing Views from the top. The food was okay tbh, they should work on platting,temperature and quality of the food. It’s pretty average if you go by the price. Otherwise service, atmosphere was very good. The drinks options they have it’s pretty good. Highly recommended Pina colada. I might will go one more time for dinner to have night view from the falls.

  • 3/5 Andrew W. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall the experience was what I expected. An Excellent view is the selling point and worth the visit. The fun was quality albeit (and expected) priced high due to the location. Service is fine but it's hectic. Would I go back? I don't know? Was I happy I went. Sure, you'll have a fun rotating around the falls.

    Yikes, 1st timer and I was unimpressed! Even though the view is Stunning this review is about the restaurant and food. This was a dinner place picked as a surprise by my fiance for our anniversary and we were both disappointed. The restaurant sounded and looked exciting and It was even nice but it was very tight in space. $15 to park and your actually dining at this establishment should not be a thing, that’s just my personal opinion. The first thing I noticed was how pricey the menu was. I ordered a Woodford neat and as fancy as this place seemed you’d think they’d have a more luxury maraschino cherry and not your basic cheap cherries. For my entree I ordered a Caesar salad, filet mignon with veggies. The Caesar salad was okay, I’d give it a 6/10. It was greasy, had entirely way too many bacon bits and overall the salad mix didn’t seem the freshest. The filet was disappointing. I asked for medium well and it came medium rare. My veggies were inconsistently cooked. I sent the steak back and it came cooked medium well but then it was chewy! Didn’t taste like a $70 cut of meat. I’d give it a 4/10. Given that it was so busy service was good. Our waiter and waitress made sure we were well token care of and I do Thank them for that! Overall i would not come back to dine, Thank you Skylon for the experience and I wish you all the best!
