Dinner in a Watertower

We recently had dinner at Ric's Grill, a restaurant inside a renovated water tower in Lethbridge. I use the tower as a landmark to get around town. Others use it as a billboard. You enter at the base and take an elevator to either the bar level or the restaurant. Above the billboards is a walkway that is open during the summer months from the bar. It was closed during our visit.
This is just a view from underneath.
This place was so cool that I took a picture of the washroom (restroom). The sinkbowls rest on the countertop and the whole room had the loveliest tile and beautiful lamps and recessed mirrors.
Here we are (look closely in the darkness on the left of the picture) but you can see the view outside much better. I searched for Canadian flags and found six on the various buildings below.
One more picture of the view from the restaurant. The meal was great! It was a bit pricey, but we used a gift certificate given to us at Christmas by Calvin's daughter, Nadine and her husband, Sheldon. Thanks ~~ it was a wonderful date!!

Such a cool concept. The outside could still use a bit of work, but I love the bathrooms too.

Very cool. I'd have never thought of a restaurant in an old water tower. I'm glad to hear things are going better and you're settling in.
