Walk 1 minute from your spot to Seasons in the Park. It is one of the few restaurants with a view this high up. The description notes excellent food and service. Since it is open for dinner, you can secure a table as the evening sets in. Mains run from $17 to $34.

Finish your meal. The restaurant remains open for dinner, so you can linger over drinks and dessert while the city lights begin to twinkle below.
Local tip
The walk up to Queen Elizabeth Park is steep. Take it slow if you are not used to the climb. Seasons in the Park is a popular spot, so arriving before the sunset moment is wise if you want a window seat.
