Swirl around up high on the new tapas tier at Summit Restaurant. Big black comfy cushions and sleek banquettes brings new Friday night fun to the revolving restaurant. The best part? Posh presentation. When a long, skinny tray of tasty morsels like crab claws, perfect kingfish ceviche with watermelon, parsnip and lavender soup served in a shot glass, and chorizo and beans with quail egg appears, you just feel Friday-ish. A new private dinner room with burnished silver alls is open for VIP parties if you’ve got the cash to splash.

A long-standing revolving Sydney restaurant relies too much on spin.
Sometimes it's the little things that turn eating out into culinary water torture. It might start with the withered flowers on the red gladioli greeting you as the lift doors open. Drip. After a 25-minute wait (thanks for the bread and water, though) the waiter drops by and asks, "Are you ready to order?" Drip. Perhaps, if you could tell us a little about the menu first, including the fish of the day? Drip. And don't ask me how I want my 18-hour slow-roasted beef cooked. Drip. Forty minutes after arriving, the wine order is taken. Drip. The wine turns up halfway through entrees. Drip. And we shouldn't have to ask three times just to get our water glasses refilled. Drip. Drip. Drip. Summit turns 39 this month. That's a ripe old age in an ephemeral industry, but then dining 165 metres above sea level on the world's biggest lazy Susan (the full spin takes 105 minutes) has always been the trump card. After almost three years as restaurateur under Accor, chef Michael Moore takes...

Summit not only offers stunning views of Sydney, but also assured, sometimes inspired, modern Australian food.
A lifetime of dining out has taught me that restaurants that revolve (or float, for that matter) invariably come up short when it comes to one crucial ingredient - the food. Not so at Summit, on the 47th floor of Australia Square, which offers not only stunning views of Sydney, but also assured, sometimes inspired, modern Australian food from the kitchen of chef Michael Moore (not that Michael Moore, another one). Moore's recently taken control of Summit, putting his money where his whisk is and buying it lock, stock and wine cellar from the Accor group. It's a brave move; but Moore has the experience to pull it off, having worked at Sir Terence Conran's Bluebird in London as well as at Wildfire, Bennelong and Prunier's. On the evidence of a recent rip-snorting '80s-style long lunch, and an intimate dinner for two on Tuesday night, Moore has the good ship Summit on a safe course. The food is visually appealing without being fussy, the service a Sydney rarity, slick and ...
