Leah and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary on Monday. Amazing that it’s been a year already. So much has happened in that time, but suffice to say that it was a great first year. Leah and I are just suckers for trying new things so to celebrate our anniversary we decided to have dinner at the Space Needle. I know what you’re thinking – the Space Needle? Isn’t that just a tourist trap with a view? True, it is a touristy place, but what we found out about the restaurant at the Space Needle is that it is not your typical tourist attraction fare. The restaurant is located on the floor beneath the observation desk and rotates giving you an ever-changing view of the skyline and surrounding scenery. It’s a little disconcerting stepping on to the rotating deck at first. The motion of the deck and the rotating view throws your stomach for a loop. Leah and I both felt queesy for about 15 minutes until our stomach adjusted to the motion.
The food at the restaurant is actually extremely good. It’s also extremely expensive. They know that it’s a million-dollar view as you eat and they price accordingly. The fact of the matter is that the drinks were great, food was delicious, and the service was wonderful – even offering to take pictures throughout the dinner as the view behind us changed. It was a great night and a great way to celebrate our first year.
