- DDaveCalgary / Southern Alberta •1 review4.0Dined 2 days agoOverall - enjoyable and pleasant experience with our out of town business guests and when we decided to book with Major Tom - it was under the understanding and expectation that we would have had a much better table for the view of the city, as this is part and partial of the wonderful ambience to this venue. Once realized, that the table selected for our party of 6 clearly did not get the better of the available seating that was visible while we were enjoying our great service and food/drinks, it was just disappointing from that aspect, otherwise well done to the staff both front and back of house! Perhaps next time our clients from Dubai could enjoy a much better view to accompany the drinks and food... Cheers DaveMore infoMAJOR TOMPrice: Expensive• Continental• Downtown•4.7
