Dissapointingly we were moved straight to our tables and drink orders taken. DrInks arrived intermittently with some arriving well into entre service. Mains didn't arrive... More

I had always wanted to go to the Summit and finally went when in Sydney for a weekend with another couple. The view was fantastic and the food just as great. It took about 90 mins for the room to revolve.. about the time lunch took. You will pay for the experience but its one you will not regret.

Food has always been great over the years, but what makes this place unique is the spinning continuous views of Sydney, unparallelled as far as ambiance. Can be a little slow on service, that's the only reason I don't give it full marks.

Have been there a number of times and it is usually very good but the service is getting steadily worse. Drinks at the bar area took 20 minutes, each course of food was slow even getting the bread. If you are a tourist, still worth the views but if you are a local then better to go elsewhere.

After viewing the website and experiencing the spectacular 'C Tower' in Perth we were excited about going to the 'big city' and experiencing the finer flavours only to be disappointed in a massive way. After being escourted through to our table we proceeded to wait 10 minutes before our drinks order was taken, we started off with the $20 cocktails-... More

OK for a drink or two if you're a tourist and want to see the sydney skyline - but the food here was terrible when we went. My partner, who will just about eat anything, could not finish his meal it was so bad.

Unfortunately I was right. This seems to be the case in a lot of 'view' restaurants. Overpriced for food you get, but it's ediblel

I'm from overseas & my partner is from interstate so we have regular Sydney visitors. We ALWAYS bring our visitors to Orbit Bar! It's a bar with a revolving floor 47 floors above Sydney - taking up about a third of the floor that The Summit restaurant is on. The bottled beers are approx $7-$10 & cocktails circa $18, so...
