Major Tom absolutely knocked it out of the park for my 40th birthday celebration. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt elevated but not pretentious—warm, attentive service with the kind of polish you expect at the very top of Calgary’s dining scene.
We started with a round of cocktails: the Major Tom Collins was crisp and refreshing, the Gin Martini had perfect balance, and the Bossa Nova was an inventive, almost transportive sip. Each drink set the stage for the evening—thoughtful, bold, and beautifully executed.
For food, we went wide to experience as much of the menu as possible. The Crab & Shrimp Roll was fresh and delicate, a perfect bite with a hint of sweetness from the shellfish. The Major Tots lived up to their reputation—rich, crispy, indulgent, and completely unforgettable. The Tuna Crudo was a clean, bright counterpoint, while the Endive Waldorf Salad delivered crunch and tang with a sophisticated twist.
Even the sides had star power: the Spaghetti was silky, savory, and deceptively simple, while the Grilled Broccolini with Chermoula brought a smoky depth that kept me going back for more.
The crown jewel of the night, though, was the 18 oz Longhorn Striploin with Truffle Madeira Jus. Cooked to perfection, tender and richly flavored, it was the kind of steak you remember long after the last bite. Paired with the view from the 40th floor, it felt like dining at the very top of the city—literally and figuratively.
What impressed me most was how everything came together seamlessly: the food, the drinks, the service, the ambiance. We even had our two young kids with us, and the staff could not have been kinder or more encouraging and accommodating—it turned what could have been stressful into something truly joyful.
Major Tom isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. Elegant without being stiff, indulgent without being overwhelming, and executed with remarkable consistency. I left full, grateful, and with memories I’ll carry for a lifetime.
Highly recommend for any special occasion—or for anyone who just wants to experience the very best Calgary has to offer.
