The Sundial in Atlanta atop the Westin hotel.

In years past, it was also known for the view and not the food but a recent revamp changed that. Last time I went, the food was quite good and the views are great. Though it's just Atlanta so no beautiful coast or mountains, it's still nice to be up so high.

Over 700 ft (about 210 meters) up

You would be surprised how disconcerting a 1degree turn every 10 seconds does when you are tanked! I swear the room was spinning faster than it normally does! :D

In Berlin, another option is the Reichstag's rooftop restaurant. Although non-revolving, the food is good (if pricey), and one great advantage is that a reservation number permits access to a special elevator which bypasses the (often-long) line of visitors waiting to go up to the dome.

Reichstag restaurant is very good in my opinion, although agreed the prices are high for Berlin in particular. The bypass of the elevator line is worth it alone however if you have never been to the top of the Reichstag- super impressive actually.

You might encounter some difficulty at the Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone in New Orleans. It moves... rather faster than that:

I had difficulty there just recently. I'm sure the three Sazeracs had nothing to do with it...

No revolving restaurants in Denver; the closest we have is the bar atop the new Hilton at the Convention Center. Spectacular views, no rotation until you've had a few...

In Providencia, Santiago, Chile there's "Restaurant Giratorio" (simply "Revolving Restaurant"). It's not really high up (maybe 16 stories?), but apparently it isn't too bad on the food front.

+1 on the Marriott...

Had drinks there two weeks ago, overpriced but can't beat the view...

I'll echo the comment on the Marquis in NYC - I've been living out of this hotel for 2 weeks now as my movers only came the other day. The restaurant itself is actually pretty decent food & great views of the city. There's an $8 cover for non-guest or non-diners for sitting at the bar after 8pm, I think. It opens at 5pm & they offer sunday brunch (which is $59/pp, I think).

Good view & would recommend it...reservations probably necessary for busier event days.

Surprised no one mentioned the Stratosphere in Vegas!

I am not a big fan of buffets, but the Sydney Tower Buffet Restaurant at the top of Sydney Tower was amazing. ^

Anyone ever tried this? Not a revolving restaurant per se, but definitely a table with a view.

Personally Cloud9 in Vancouver is one of my celebration restaurants of choice. The food to my taste is competent+, the view is stellar, and I very much like some of the service staff (several of whom have been there for many years.)
