My wife and I went to Major Tom's a couple of days ago. We no longer live in YYC so depend on one of my kids (big foodie and works at Lulu Bar) and my long- time associate (bookkeeper for my clients) to keep us "involved" in the food scene.

MT is expensive! But ... worthy of the outlay at the right moment. The special cocktails are incredible for flavour, nuance and creativity. The Baked Apple Pie Sour... oh my!

The Smoked Sturgeon Brandade was amazing (I make Brandade de Morue, but this was fine, smooth and outrageously flavourful). The other sides were excellent as well and the 32-oz Porterhouse split four ways was surprisingly good for a person who ALWAYS gets his steaks "blue". It wasn't - but was rare, and fantastic for smoothness, texture and flavour.

OK - for sure not a regular night out (that's for Marda Loop Brewing!) and a delight nonetheless. (No - I don't have money to burn, but on the other hand ... sometimes ...yah .. just do it!)

And the view is lovely. Sundown (Gordie Lightfoot passed away as we were there) ... marvellous.
