This article, by Diana Budds at the NYTimes, features the restaurant on top of the Marriott Marquis on Times Square. The restaurant recently reopened after closing in 2020.

I ate there a few times in the early 90s; it was nice. The rotation is so slow as to be imperceptible, though (as the article notes) if you went to the bathroom, which was in the non-rotating hub of the restaurant, it was easy to get confused to find your way back to your table. Especially if you had a few drinks.

There were a pair of concentric pony-walls on the perimeter of the dining areas, the inside one rotating, the outside one not rotating. Tables butted up against the inside pony-wall, and it was very easy to mistakenly put your cigarettes, lighter and drink down on the outside pony-wall and wonder a few minutes where the hell they’d gone to and you’d have to wait a half-hour for them to come around again on the turntable, by which time your cigarette had burned down the ice in the drinks had melted.

The Marriott Marquis also had a rotating lounge inside the lobby. A waitress told me the sections of the lounge were color-coded so they could find customer tables.

Even in the 90s, the design of the place seemed old-fashioned — so much orange! — but of course I loved that.
