I really liked the wine list and wine service at Windows on the World, and the food was good enough to support the truly spectacular wine offerings. Unfortunately, OBL, Mohammad Atta, and Khalid Shaikh Mohammad et al liked the place a lot less than I did.

For Tokyo I enjoy Mixx bar at the top of the ANA Intercontinental, ask if Jan is in and if so get him to make one of his cocktails.

Ohhh, there is a champagne bar at the top! I wonder if that is new, as I don't remember it from a couple of years ago! (I didn't eat at a restaurant when I went up a couple of years ago, I took a half bottle of wine, a demi baguette and some cheese up with me, and had a picnic at the top!) |

Detroit: Coach Insignia: RecCen, 72nd floor [In]
I occasionally consider going to Detroit just to eat at this restaurant. I am not kidding. |
Just got back from Las Vegas, and added some more options to the list. :) A couple of notes:
Lounge 107: It is free to go up to the bar with a two drink minimum, and during happy hour there are 2 for 1 martinis and half-price appetizers. Afterwards, you can walk up to the observation deck where the rides are for free (which would normally cost you $16 just to get up there). Tea Lounge, Mandarin Orient: Very nice and reasonably priced afternoon tea. The view here is very nice and looks northward towards the strip. Three tables are directly against the window, so it is a good idea to book early and ask for one of those. Effiel Tower Restaurant: This information about table 56 was from the concierge. |
96 bars! Anyone care to name the last four so we can get up to 100? :)

There is a Japanese restaurant, I think named Kozue, in the Park Hyatt (Tokyo) that deserves a mention. It is a bit lower than 50th floor but I have had some good meals there. Also, it is two floors high with more or less floor to ceiling windows on three sides. The view of Tokyo is breathtaking. And the fugu course meal is pretty good. |

Doesn't the Reunion Tower in Dallas have a restaurant? I read somewhere that Wofgang Puck has a restaurant up there.

another in Kuala Lumpur
Menara KL has a decent restaurant at 276 m (advertising says 421 m, which
is the total height of the tower). Revolves, too. |
One addition in Stockholm, and a brief review of the Portland City Grill. I checked it out over the weekend while I was down there. Seems like a pretty decent place, but it's extremely popular for the late night happy hour. I'd advise hitting it for lunch (which is in the $10-15/plate range) or getting there early for the happy hour. The HH drinks were pretty weak, but the regular ordered drinks were much better.
Here's a few pictures up on the blog. |
