We booked the Premium View Dining Experience, which came out at just under $500 for two after taxes and their compulsory 18% gratuity. We went early so that we could look around the Observatory. The views from there are stunning. The two drinks included in the package are limited to $23 each in value which gets you most drinks except premium wines and spirits. The food was very good. We had burratta (very good) and pork belly (too much fat) to start, followed by steak frites for a main course, which was excellent and perfectly cooked. The deserts were OK. The ambience left a lot to be desired. There was party of about 14 there who were very noisy (one had even brought a yapping dog) and we were overlooking the Observatory deck, which added to the noise. In addition, there seemed to be some people there just having a drink or a bar snack and on two occasions people paused immediately next to our table to look at the view and take photos while standing over us. The staff were nice but the service was slow. It wasn't a particularly relaxing dining experience and we weren't right next to a window so I think diners with the basic package were no worse off than us. We've eaten in similar restaurants (The Shard in London, CN Tower in Toronto, Sky Tower in Auckland) and all those place offered a genuine, relaxing restaurant experience with tables that gave diners a better view of the outside. My advice would be to pay for the basic Observatory ticket and eat elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing views - not to be missed. A great layout of tables making the most of the view for all diners. A great cocktail list and they were thoroughly delicious. A good varied menu. The food was absolutely delicious. The service exemplary.

Revoir les codes du services (On sert la femme en premier, on n'amène pas la suite lorsqu'on n'a pas fini son plat, on évite de servir le cocktail et le verre de vin en même temps avant que le plat soit arrivé). Les plats sont corrects, de bonne qualité. Cadre exceptionnel.
