I've been 3 times now, twice in early/mid-nineties as a child/teen, and once in 2006. The first time I went, it was a really good buffet - a little highly priced maybe but understandable for the novelty/tourist trap/location. I also got to see part of a Blue Jays game below and the roof opening on the stadium (now the Rogers Centre I think?) as well as traffic from the city airport, including a small aircraft trailing an advertising banner that flew around the tower and harbour a few times and then landed.

The second time I think it was still a buffet but it wasn't anywhere near as good as it had been the first time and probably more expensive. We complained and they compensated us by giving us free entry to the Space Deck, the upper level of the CN Tower that costs extra.

On my third visit, I went with my wife, who hadn't been up the tower at all. It was an à la carte menu instead of a buffet, still expensive but it was a treat for her. The food was so-so but the novelty was still worth it, even for me. This meal was at night so we saw the city light up. 'Twas a very nice romantic setting.

TPA Marriott has The View at CK's. It is also overpriced, mediocre food.

The Carousel at Hotel Monteleone in NOLA is a little too fast for me. Can't imagine being drunk spinning with that lurch it has.

Al Dawaar Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency - Dubai
It's a revolving restaurant, and since the hotel is right at the Corniche, you get views of the Gulf and the city (rather nice views overall).

The food is an international buffet, above average for some delicacies, but nothing particularly outstanding.

The service is good - competent and unobtrusive.

The best part of this restaurant's ambience is the highly eclectic dining crowd that adds a certain cultural vibe to the setting. Also, the restaurant has very low lighting and so one has to be a bit careful to make sure they return to the right table from the buffet station.

We have one here in Perth. Worth going to once but after that the novelty wears off

Most revolving restaurants rely on their revolvability and not their food
