My wife and I attended the dinner buffet on our 40th anniv. and we were both pleased. I have never had a dinning experience where everything I tried on the buffet was delicious. We both were very pleased with the food, view and service. I would like to return soon!
We went one night to the observation deck with a $2 coupon. We enjoyed it, although a little overpriced and the place was kind of tacky and outdated. We decided to go back the next night for the buffet with our $5 off coupons. It was one of the worst dining experiences we ever had. We were completely ripped-off. Some of the food was not there ...
My husband and I came here for dinner on our vacation. We were very disappointed. I ordered grilled pork chops and the second piece was raw, I told the waiter and he took it back along with my husband's filet which was also rare (he ordered medium well). By the time he came back, i had lost my appetite. Nice view but i would not ever come back here to eat raw pork!!!

Not Worth the Money, Time or Effort
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/26/09
The Skylon Tower is not worth the money. I made the reservation online after looking at their information; while it seemed pricey, I thought it would be a great way to celebrate my husband and son’s birthday. On the online reservation, they ask it this was for a special occasion. So I said yes, for two birthdays. (Note we had 2 nine year ...
When booking our trip to Niagara, it seemed like the Skylon Tower was THE place to eat-- the website made it seem like it was very posh, fancy dining. Even though we thought it seemed a bit pricey ($35 per person), we figured it'd be worth the vacation splurge.
Boy, were we wrong.
The first course salad was not fresh, the greens were wilted ...
This was actually the worst buffet I have ever been to. And I am easy to please as far as buffets go. I like Old Country Buffet it that helps. Pay to take the ride to the top but eat somewhere else. We had lunch at Shoeless Joe's down the street the next day, it was great. Also had lunch at the the CN Tower in Toronto the 3 days later. ...
I will not try their restaurant and dine again. Poor fine dining experience. We had reservations and upon arrival we ordered appetizers and asked her to wait for entree. The server mentioned that we should order entree else she will charge $11.95/person (me and my date) on top of our bill for being there. She never came to check how we were doing. ...
I cannot write about the dining experience, because it was too overpriced for our group. I would however, recommend it for taking photos or videos from another vantage point. I used a coupon for a small amt off the admission price and rode up alone, while my adult kids were downstairs in the gameroom playing pool. I probably wouldn't need to ...
We went to the Skylon Tower for the lunch buffet on a Saturday in September. It was the worst buffet I have been to. It is very over priced for the amount of food they have on buffet. It consisted of dried up eggs, that looked like they sat there all morning. Only 2 pancakes in pan. No eggs benedict pan was empty. I questioned the waiter when will ...

Treated like cattle
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/24/07
We were treated like cattle, like all the others around us. Restaurant is crowded, food is average, waiters are rude and officious. We visited the observation deck, which has MUCH better views for pictures, etc. I'd actually pay the $11 for the observation deck and eat better food elsewhere for less.
