Orbit Revolving Restaurant - Sky City

another great place for the view

Beautiful view and great service! :) 

The waiter was extremely friendly and more than happy to take a picture of us (she actually asked if we wanted one taken, which was awesome.) I had the best cooked and seasoned salmon in my life. It was perfect and had a delicious, slightly crunchy outside, but melted still melted in your mouth. The ravioli was to die for as well as the chocolate fondant, which was extremely decadent. I found the meals were also reasonably priced considering the high quality of food being served. Can't wait to come back! The restaurant is perfect for those wanting to take that special someone on a date as it provides a warm yet romantic ambience and the view of the city was incredible!

The revolving restarurant is a one off novelty  and provides a great view over the city as the sun goes down. Careful not to lose your barings if you nip off to the bathroom, your mates will not be in the same place regardless of how sober you are! Worth a visit and a few drinks at the top of our Sky Tower.

Pretty obvious I guess, but Orbit does have the best views of any Auckland restaurant. The good is better than you probably expect. Sure, you're paying a bit extra because of the view, so the food isn't as good as you might otherwise get for the same price, but it's a very calm and serene dining experience. Beer selection is average though.

What an amazing place to come for dinner !! We had a work do here and WOW WOW WOW !!  AWESOME view of the city 360 degrees ! You don't even noitce that it's rotating - Part way through the night I went to use the bathroom and came out to what seemed like a completely different place because there was a different view of the city outside and the location/proximity to our table was completely different !! Hahahaha !!  Bizarre feeling but quite funny at the same time and had to walk around a bit to find my way back to our table - made a good story !
