Top of the Riverfront   

Going around in circles was never this much fun. Top of the Riverfront is colloquially known as "that rotating restaurant by the Arch," and rotate it does, albeit very gently. The turning is mainly noticeable by the slowly shifting vista of the Arch, Busch Stadium, the Mississippi River, the Eads Bridge and the rest of downtown St. Louis and immediately adjacent stretches of southern Illinois. It's a beautiful view, especially at sundown and at night. This is a superb place to bring a date or to impress an out-of-town visitor. There's nothing else in the world quite like the Arch, or the Mississippi, and this restaurant offers a dazzling vantage on both. Top of the Riverfront features an eclectic New American menu and a decor that is handsome. A must-visit for St. Louisans and tourists alike. -- HW
