Nice place.  I like the bubbled chandelier.  The black and white decor is striking.  Must be somewhat more difficult to keep the white looking fairly clean I would think. 

Baltimore used to have a revolving restaurant as well.  Here's an excerpt about it from an article on Baltimore restaurants...

* Circle One, the revolving dining room atop the Holiday Inn (Lombard Street).

When the Holiday Inn opened in the mid-'60s, it offered the most elegant facilities downtown for its day -- including the city's first (and, it would turn out, its last) revolving restaurant.


The idea seemed a good one: As the dining room revolved 12 stories up, there was a new view of the city every few minutes. Fine idea, but it didn't work.


Elsewhere, revolving restaurants have done well. But the one atop the Holiday Inn gave diners a bumpy ride. Patrons found it annoying, not to say frightening, to be treated to a carnival ride during dinner. Trying to eat, sip a drink and watch the cityscape whirl around all at once was bad enough. The bumpy ride in the revolving restaurant made it all but unbearable.


Word got around that going around atop the Holiday Inn was to be avoided. To the surprise of no one, the restaurant closed in the mid-1970s. The space is now used for meetings.



Cheers,
Brian

The Rivue: An upscale restaurant atop the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, KY; it slowly revolves to reveal ever-changing views of downtown Louisville, the Ohio River, and southern Indiana to the north.
