For our first anniversary, we went into Seattle to eat dinner at Sky City, the restaurant in the Space Needle. We were VERY grateful that my husband actually had the day (June 30) off! Hallelujah!
Side note about the Space Needle elevators... remember the time we talked about my death screams on a certain Universal Studios ride? Well this elevator gave me flashbacks to that moment. Luckily I just turned away from the windows and stopped myself short of a full on meltdown. I was fine once we were in the restaurant because it's easy to forget that there is nothing beneath the floor... it seems like your everyday skyscraper. Thank goodness... I was a little worried about how this would turn out when we were on our way up!
Without a doubt, the meal was memorable. Not only was the view unbeatable, but the food was marvelous, too.
A sweet touch- Sky City had a photographer walking around taking photos that could be emailed to you free of charge. This amazing view only got better as our meal continued because the restaurant turns 360 degrees! I believe they said it takes 47 minutes to make the full rotation, so we made it around twice during our dinner.
One of our favorite appetizers, burrata mozzarella, done extremely well!
Fresh Alaskan Halibut (mine), frites, and a sirloin/lobster tail (his)... yummy!
Just to the right of the skyscrapers, faint in the distance, is Mount Rainier! It didn't photograph well, but it was really spectacular/bigger/easy to see in person.
The same view approximately 47 minutes later.
It really felt like an 'escape' to relax and dine so far above the city.
Back at our hotel room after a wonderful evening in Seattle. We definitely won't forget this wonderful experience on our first anniversary!
