Skylon Tower Reviews
What a great time at Skylon! Reservations were made for our friend's 50th wedding anniversary and everyone at Skylon restaurant went above and beyond. Service, food and atmosphere were 5.0! Thanks!
Great experience. Food and service was outstanding. I would love to come back.
My husband and I visited to celebrate our 5th anniversary of our marriage which we traveled to Canada for, and which was noted on our reservation(they asked when making the reservation as if they would)but never acknowledged by the staff in person(we are gay and appear young, so maybe this is why). We feel it’s important to share our experience regarding the overall quality and charges.. The initial service was a bit abrupt and came off as rude while being seated and at some other times, and the atmosphere was diminished by the state of the dining room windows. Many of the large windows were noticeably dirty, with handprints, writing and grime that made the view difficult to enjoy.
The primary issue however was the food quality, which felt far below the standard expected for the prices(total of $328 for 2 people)...
My initial order of sea bass was watery, mushy, and appeared to have been poorly reheated or more likely microwaved, not freshly cooked and likely frozen and not prepared correctly. I thankfully was allowed to switch my order(thank you), but since I could no longer trust the seafood, I chose the steak that my husband said was edible even though not great. My husband, who loves steak, found both of our steaks to be overly rare and somehow lacked the typical blood of a fresh steak, with lukewarm and partially chilled centers in parts. We both suspected the meat might have been precooked and merely finished on the exterior, leading to an inconsistent and unappetizing result. We felt uncomfortable rejecting a second dish, which regrettably spoiled the focus of our anniversary dinner that had cost more than our inn costs for 4 whole days of stay.
The final bill contained questionable charges.. We were charged an Attractions and Promotions Fee (APF) of $7.38. Please note that this is a non-mandatory, voluntary charge set by the business, not a government tax, and can be requested for removal. We believe this is misleading to tourists but it isn't worth the complaint and our time waiting for it to be fixed.
Furthermore, the suggested tip amounts were calculated on the final total, including the mandatory HST tax and the non-mandatory APF, maximizing the cost to the customer and misrepresenting the actual percentage of your "recommended" tip, but again not worth my time to change when we have plans scheduled. All in all with inconsistent food quality, a disappointing atmosphere, and controversial billing practices, we cannot recommend this restaurant.
