I have been to the Stadium Keg 10 times. The meal has been perfect everytime.

If i remember, the most expensive would be the Lamb rack and the 12oz Ribeye which are both amazing and costs about 42 each.

And plus, you don't have to pay the elevator fee anymore, all you have to do is book a reso at the restuarant, tell the hosties downstairs about the reso and she will let you go up.

Here's the site http://www.sky360.ca/ if you want to check on more information.

I remember the food at the old restaurant in the tower was crap, but it's been pretty good since the renovations.

And yes you are right, the Panarama Dining was horrible. I remember hearing stories about the place where the head chef and the managers would get wasted during service. But as of now, they are totally revamped, the Chef is well known, he was voted top 3 in calgary and i think top 10 in canada. If you remember, he use to be the head chef at El Sogno.

Is there dinner menu more then lunch?
I've only been there at lunch and didn't find it that expensive at all. Only about $5-$10 more then the Keg.

LOVE the keg, but the best one is at the Caribou Lodge in Banff. I have never been disappointed after going there. Great atmosphere, sort of cozy and comfortable, and top-notch steaks. And the french onion soup there is amazing too.

Ok, I'm stopping there tomorrow on my way back from Windermere now.....mmm

good point! i did not know that, i guess it makes the price equal to the Keg considering the lift up. do they have sides with thier steaks, like at the keg? (ie baked potato, fries, veggies)

yeah, it comes with veggies, pomperate (mash potatoes) or however u spell it. And if you don't want that, you can always change it to fries and salad.

I actually just went to the Keg Downtown (at the Westin) last Friday. It was terrific.

What he said... the Cattle Barron is worth mentioning among all these other establishments.

If I remember correctly, the last two times I've been there I got:
-some chicken dish, $30, not good
-ribs, $35-$40, average

Why would you go to a steak place to eat chicken or ribs, and then complain? Typical Socialist behaviour.

Best steak I've ever had.

[Rerun]

I've eaten at the Keg a few times... mostly the McLeod Tr site... I was never that impressed with the steak.
I did enjoy the cheesecake though.

With that awful decor it doesn't really matter what you eat. I was worried that at one point Dirk Diggler himself would serve us food!

If Dirk Diggler were serving your food you would be eating sausage, not ribs.

Well, don't you think I'd know a Socialist after living in the Socialist paradise?
