About MAJOR TOM
The Spotlight on MAJOR TOM

Sky-High Dining Above the City Buzz

Perched on the 40th floor of Stephen Avenue Place, Major Tom delivers an unforgettable dining experience with sweeping panoramic views of downtown Calgary. This modern, upscale restaurant blends retro-chic design with a lively, cosmopolitan vibe. Serving bold interpretations of Continental cuisine, it’s the kind of place where crisp martinis meet expertly grilled steaks—all in a stylish, sky-high setting just minutes from Calgary’s biggest concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Major Tom is a top pick for concert-goers thanks to its central location and efficient service. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite before the show or sipping craft cocktails as the city lights flicker on, the restaurant’s buzzy energy and fast-paced kitchen make it perfect for a pre-performance meal. The vibe is upbeat but not too loud, so you can still chat with friends or date night companions before heading to the gig.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to start the night with cocktails and steaks
  • Solo travelers who want a seat at the bar with a view
  • Couples on a romantic weekend
  • Fans seeking a stylish, lively pre-show atmosphere
  • Budget-conscious music lovers willing to splurge a little for a standout experience

What People Say

Guests rave about the unmatched views, calling it “the best skyline dining in Calgary.” The tomahawk steak and cheddar popovers are crowd favorites, while cocktails are described as “perfectly balanced and creative.” Many mention the attentive service and slick, mid-century modern interiors as adding to the overall vibe. It’s often praised for being “worth the splurge.”

Areas for Improvement

Some diners note that reservations are a must, especially on concert nights, and tables by the windows can be hard to snag. Prices are on the higher side, so it might not be ideal for a quick budget pre-show meal. A few guests mention that it can get busy, so service may feel rushed during peak hours.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking to elevate your night with killer views, bold flavors, and a chic atmosphere before the music starts, Major Tom hits all the right notes.
