    Major Tom isn’t just a restaurant it’s a full experience. The views of the city lights and mountains are absolutely breathtaking, and the atmosphere perfectly blends cozy charm with modern elegance. The food? Next level. The scallops are golden and melt-in-your-mouth, stuffed chicken wings are crispy and packed with savory goodness, and the gnocchi with smoked burrata is pure indulgence pillowy, creamy, and rich. The Rigatoni Bolognese hits all the right notes with hearty beef & pork sauce and a perfect sprinkle of Reggiano. Incredible flavors, unforgettable views, and a vibe that keeps you coming back.
